Inked Floret Cards with Soft, Elegant Layers
This week’s Facebook Live was all about creating beautiful floral cards with just a few coordinating supplies. The Inked Floret stamp set paired with the Botanical Expressions sentiments creates cards that are elegant, timeless, and surprisingly easy to make.
Whether you love bold monochromatic florals or soft, subtle backgrounds, these two cards show how versatile the Inked Floret stamp set can be. If you missed the Facebook Live, be sure to catch the replay for all the tips, techniques, and step-by-step instructions. I’d love to know which card is your favorite, the bold blue blooms or the soft blush floral!
The first card takes a softer approach with Barely Blush. The floral image is stamped tone-on-tone to create a delicate background that lets the sentiment shine. A small piece of Crisp Cantaloupe Ribbon tucked beneath the greeting and a coordinating In Color Dot add a simple pop of color without overwhelming the design. It’s a wonderful example of how subtle stamping can create an elegant card in minutes.
For the second card, I featured Hydrangea Hue for a fresh monochromatic design. By stamping the floral image directly onto the card front and adding die-cut blossoms popped up with dimensionals, the card instantly gains depth and interest. A strip of the 2026-2028 Gingham Designer Series Paper, a touch of Hydrangea Hue Ribbon, and a few 2026-2028 In Color Dots finish the card with just the right amount of detail. The result is a heartfelt thank you card that’s both clean and eye-catching.

Flowers with the Simply Leaves Bundle? YES!!
Today’s Facebook Live was all about the beautiful new Simply Leaves Bundle from Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives! This bundle is such a fun combination of soft, organic leaf images – but it’s not just for leaves! I turned the leaves into a flower as the focal point! This makes this bundle super versatile and gives it year round appeal! I paired the bundle with the sweet new gingham patterns and a fresh color palette of Peaceful Pine, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Basic White for a light and cheerful look.
July is bursting with exciting reasons to shop! As we celebrate 250 years of America, I’m kicking off the month with a 4-Day Exclusive just for my customers. From July 1–4, I’ll add a little extra to your Stampin’ Up! rewards:
- Place a $50 order and I’ll gift you $5 in Bonus Rewards.
- Place a $100 order (or more) and I’ll gift you $10 in Bonus Rewards.

For the first card, I used the detailed stamped leaves and the smaller patterned leaves to create a full, whimsical floral focal point, adding texture with ribbon and a few embellishments. The second card shows just how versatile this bundle can be by letting the beautiful wer take center stage with a clean and elegant design. It’s easy to create this flower because the petals are punched with the Simply Leaves punch! Quick, and easy peasy!
I love how the Simply Leaves Bundle gives you so many creative possibilities, from detailed stamped images to simple layered designs. It’s one of those bundles that will quickly become a favorite for all kinds of occasions, from hello cards to thinking-of-you cards and everything in between!

FREE Class & $10 in Stampin’ Rewards? Yes, Please!
If you joined me for yesterday’s Facebook Live, thank you! It was so much fun creating these two beautiful cards featuring the Violet Dreams Suite Collection. This suite has completely stolen my heart with its soft florals, dreamy designer paper, and elegant coordinating pieces. Whether you’re making a thoughtful “Take Care” card or a sweet “Sending Love” greeting, these products make creating beautiful cards effortless.
The first card showcases the gorgeous violets framed inside a layered oval with delicate Designer Series Paper and a simple sentiment.
The second card combines soft ribbon, layered banners, and a pretty tag to create a clean yet elegant design that’s perfect for sending a little love to someone special. Sometimes it’s the little details—tiny blossoms, layered die cuts, and soft colors—that make a handmade card feel extra meaningful.
But the fun doesn’t stop there!
