Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Christie’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “For the Ladies/Girls”. We can interpret this however we want. I thought I’d use some new products coming May 6th and feature the Hyacinth’s since they are all blooming right now. I love how pretty Hyacinth’s are, but the smell makes my nose itchy, so I stay a safe distance and just admire them. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals Bundle along with the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Sweet Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set, all which will be available starting May 6th. I also used the Textured Notes Dies for my card today.

Adhere a panel of Florals in Bloom DSP to the front of a Strawberry Slush card base using Liquid Glue.

From a panel of Basic White, cut the 2nd largest Textured Notes Die. From another panel of Basic White, cut 3 of the smaller frames from the Textured Notes Dies. Adhere the 3 frames to the front of the large frame using Stampin’ Seal. From a panel of Granny Apple Green, cut 3 stems using the Pretty Florals Dies. Adhere the stems to the 3 frames using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the detailed Hyacinth image from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals Photopolymer Stamp Set in Highland Heather, Peach Pie and Strawberry Slush Inks. Stamp the solid Hyacinth image from the Pretty Florals stamp set in Highland Heather, Peach Pie and Strawberry Slush Inks, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed images. Cut the images out using the Pretty Florals Dies. Adhere the flowers to the stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Wrap a piece of Strawberry Slush Twine around the layered panel 2 times and tie bow. Adhere the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2025 – 2027 In-Color Flat Pearls to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Sweet Blooms stamp set in Strawberry Slush Ink. Stamp the stem image from the Pretty Florals stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the detailed Hyacinth image from the Pretty Blooms stamp set in Highland Heather, Peach Pie and Strawberry Slush Inks on the stem. Stamp the solid Hyacinth image from the Pretty Florals stamp set in Highland Heather, Peach Pie and Strawberry Slush Inks, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed images. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Strawberry Slush card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the stem image from the Pretty Florals stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the Hyacinth image from the Pretty Florals stamp set on the stem image the same as for the card. Adhere a panel of Florals in Bloom DSP to the envelope flap,
