Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 17, 2025 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Thursday morning stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you. I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Theme Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Florals Fun Fold 1 cretivestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Mixed Florals Bundle along with the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and New Stampin’ Up! The Right Word Cling Stamp Set (available May 6th), for my fun fold card today.

We have a Fun Fold Theme this week.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Florals Fun Fold 2 cretivestampingdesigns.com

Score and fold the 3 Pretty Peacock card bases as listed in the measurements below. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the tulip image from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image using Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the image out using the Mixed Florals Dies.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Florals Fun Fold 3 cretivestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the panels of Perennial Lavender DSP to the Pretty Peacock card bases. I listed below which piece goes on which part of the card bases. On the front of the center card base panel (4 1/4″ side), stamp the leaf image from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Versamark Ink 3 times. Sprinkle the image with White Embossing Powder, set it using the Heat Tool. Adhere the center card base to the large card base with the 4 1/4″ side in the front, about 1/4″ up from the bottom. Adhere the bottom card base with the 5 1/2″ side in the front, to the large card base on top of the center, lining up the bottom edge

Stampin' Up! Mixed Florals Fun Fold 4 cretivestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the die cut flowers to the front panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals, keeping top flowers below the top of the card base. Trim off the bottom of the flower stems/leaves using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Florals Fun Fold 5 cretivestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from The Right Word stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. Cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the top back panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Florals Fun Fold 6 cretivestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White panel stamp the sentiment from The Right Word stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. Stamp the leaf image from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink multiple times on the side of the panel. Adhere a strip of Perennial Lavender DSP to the side of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat then to the back of the Pretty Peacock card base.
