Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. It’s supposed to be another rainy and cold one here in NJ. I hope you have some plans in the works, I’ll be working all day today.

We did some mystery stamping at our monthly meeting on Tuesday. This was a fun card to make. Jaimie sent us measurements and we all assembled our cards together live. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Sweet Blooms Bundle along with the Floral in Blooms Designer Series Paper and Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Emboss a panel of Cloud Cover using the Exposed Brick EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Cloud Cover card base using Liquid Glue.

Emboss a small panel of Basic white using the Exposed Brick EF. Adhere the embossed panel to the top right corner of the Secret Sea mat using Liquid Glue, leaving a small mat around the top and right edge. Cut the corner of the panel of Florals in Bloom DSP off using Paper Snips of the Paper Trimmer. Adhere the panel of Florals in Bloom DSP to the Secret Sea mat using Stampin’ Seal. Wrap a piece of Strawberry Slush Twine around the corner and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to the Cloud Cover card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from Sweet Blooms stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a strip of Basic White, spaced apart so you can cut them with Paper Snips. Cut the sentiment mat using the Sweet Blooms dies from a panel of Basic White. Cut the detailed sentiment using the Sweet Blooms Dies from a panel of Florals in Bloom DSP. Adhere the detailed sentiment to the mat using Liquid Glue. Adhere the die cut sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the cut sentient 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 the Sweet Blooms stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the stem image from the Sweet Blooms stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the flower image from Sweet Blooms stamp set in Secret Sea Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the stems. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Cloud Cover card base.

decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the stem image from the Sweet Blooms stamp set in garden Green Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the flower image from the Sweet Blooms stamp set in Secret Sky Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the stem image. Adhere a panel of Florals in Bloom DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card, and you have this bundle and DSP on your shopping list for May 6th. Happy Stamping!!

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, Two-Tone Cardstock Share along with the upcoming May Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on May 6th and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of May 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and the upcoming May Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Catalog and Online Exclusives.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $51.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ X 6″ pieces (or 6″ X 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!
