A Year of Flowers 2025 Title Page

With the Month by Month Virtual Album Retreat coming soon, I decided that I was going to use this bundle to scrapbook my 2025 stories, memories, and photos, so I made a title page with A Year of Flowers bundle.  

I used Regals Stampin' Write Markers to color my flowers and decided on Old Olive and Mossy Meadow for my cardstock (plus Basic White and Black).  I used a piece of Floral Impressions DSP for interest.  The 2025 banner was stamped with one of the stamps in the virtual album retreat bundle.

Stamp Camp: A Year of Flowers

Recently I hosted a stamp camp where we made 12 cards featuring A Year of Flowers bundle (stamp set and dies) with Regals cardstock and 6"x6" DSP.

If you're interested in this workshop for yourself, please reach out to me!

Sunglasses Card

Happy National Sunglasses Day!

Using the Notes and Totes bundle, I die cut the sunglasses from the 25-27 In Colors: Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, Cloud Cover, and Secret Sea (plus Black).  Then I stamped the sentiment in black and the sun in Darling Duckling.  An In Color flat gem and a black mat finished off this quick card. 

Spring Break Impressions Abloom Layout

At my recent virtual retreat, I taught the participants how to create this layout using only 6"x6" squares of the Impressions Abloom DSP and the coordinating stamp set/dies.  (They did have to add their own 12"x12" White Willow cardstock base pages.) 

It was a great way for me to scrapbook my fun spring break earlier this year!

Sorry for the glare, but I taught the participants how to use flip flaps to add more photos to their pages, so I needed to put the layout into the memory protectors.

Here are the flip flaps opened up to show more photos.

Please reach out to me if you'd like to know more!

Impressions Abloom “Mystery Card”

Recently I collaborated with 6 other Stampin' Up! demonstrators to host a virtual retreat (that I thought was a LOT of fun).  We kicked off our event with a "mystery stamping" evening where we followed directions (or not) to create a card.  I love how different everyone's are but how you can see the theme throughout.   

I used the Impressions Abloom bundle and added Garden Green, Timid Tiger, and Strawberry Slush cardstock.

An extra strip of DSP finished off the inside.

Celebratory Sips Flip Flap Shaker Cards

Did you know that Flip Flaps can be used on cards too?  I made a fun shaker card by adding a flip flap to my card.  (Sorry for the glare.) 

I used the Celebratory Sips DSP (and cut out a drink from the paper to shake around in the flap) and added a scrap of Full of Life DSP that coordinated nicely.  I added some sequins from my stash (and they will fall out of the flap but are easy to put back in if necessary).

Does the arch die look a little like a glass to you?  I added a leaf garnish die cut from the Impressions Abloom bundle and stamped Celebrate in Blackberry Ink from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set.

The adhesive strip of the flip flap is on the inside of the card base and under the white liner (not on the back of the card).  Don't forget to accent the inside of your card and the coordinating envelope to make your project extra special!

Beautiful Motifs Die Cut Green Card

Here is another card made with the Beautiful Gallery suite, featuring the Beautiful Motifs dies and coordinating stamp set.  (Remember, all suite items are on sale BOGO 50% off this month only!)  

I stamped the floral tapestry stamp on the center of the Very Vanilla panel with Old Olive ink and then used a blending brush to add more color.  I then die cut the Beautiful Motifs die, which only partially cuts the leaves.  (You can see the Old Olive card stock panel underneath).  I adhered the panel to a top-fold Granny Green cardstock card.

Be sure to add a Very Vanilla stamped panel to the inside of the card and stamp the envelop too!

NOTE: This suite and its products will be on sale (BOGO 50%) starting 6/3 and running through the end of the month!

Beautiful Motifs Die Cut Fern Card

This simple cards uses the gorgeous fern die cut from the Beautiful Motifs dies.  I cut it three times, twice on each side of Olive Two-Tone cardstock and once on Old Olive Seasons of Elegance DSP.  If you look closely, you can see a few gold flecks on the Seasons of Elegance DSP.

I stamped the sentiment with Old Olive on the front of this Very Vanilla panel, attached a Basic Beige ribbon bow, and then added the panel to the front of a Mossy Meadow card base.  Honestly, I love the simplicity and beauty of this card.  I hope that you do, too!

NOTE: This suite and its products will be on sale (BOGO 50%) starting 6/3 and running through the end of the month! 

Beautiful Gallery "Windows" Card

This card was inspired by another demonstrator's card.  To me, it looks like three windows looking out at the sea.

To create this card, I cut three arches out of one piece of the boating scene of Beautiful Gallery 6"x6" DSP (cut down to 5.25"x4").  I then cut three arches of the next larger die out of Pecan Pie cardstock, then layered the arches onto the back of the DSP.  Three Pressed Flower Motifs gems finished off the card front which was adhered to a Very Vanilla card base.

Not shown, but I added a strip of the DSP to the inside of the card to finish it nicely.

Beautiful Gallery Floral Frame Card

The Beautiful Gallery suite is absolutely gorgeous!  I enjoyed making this simple card with a floral pattern from the Beautiful Gallery 6"x6" DSP framed with Very Vanilla die cut with the Gallery Blooms dies.

After tying a bow with Basic Beige ribbon, I adhered that panel to a Secret Sea cardstock base.  I lined the inside of the card with Very Vanilla.  I decided not to add anything else and let the pretty paper carry this card.

I will be featuring this suite in my July classes, at my home or yours.  I am also going to be working on a heritage album with this suite.  Is anyone interested in joining me?
