How about a fun “frozen yogurt” popsicle for summer reading!!!  I used the Beautiful Bokeh DSP and the So Swirly 3D embossing folder to create this raspberry treat!    This was easy to create with the help of the Everyday Arches Dies!

Facebook Live Recap! 3 Cheerful Cards with Coneflower Celebrations!

Facebook Live Recap! 3 Cheerful Cards with Coneflower Celebrations!

Three Cards created with Coneflower Celebrations Bundle by Stampin UP by Laura Milligan

I’m so happy you’re here! This week during my Facebook Live, we had fun creating a trio of pretty cards featuring the brand-new Coneflower Celebrations Bundle from Stampin’ Up! This bundle is absolutely gorgeous and so versatile — perfect for birthdays, thank yous, and those “just because” cards we all love to send.

If you missed the live, no worries — I’m sharing a closer look at these sweet projects right here!

3 Cards with Coneflower Celebrations From Stampin' Up!® Laura Milligan

Strawberry Slush Card Created with Coneflower Celebrations Bundle by Stampin UP by Laura Milligan

This bold, bright bloom steals the show! I paired the large coneflower die cut with a textured brick background and a swath of green to ground the image. A sweet little ribbon and the sentiment “Celebrating You!” complete the look. This one would be perfect for birthdays, graduations, or to celebrate a special moment. I just love how the flower pops right off the card!
Daisy Card Created with Coneflower Celebrations Bundle by Stampin UP by Laura Milligan
Isn’t this one cheerful? I used one of the big, beautiful coneflowers from the bundle paired with a bright yellow sentiment strip that says “You Made My Day.” The textured background adds just the right touch of interest, and of course, I had to add a little butterfly fluttering by. A few pops of color with embellishments finish this one off beautifully!
Purple Butterfly Card Created with Coneflower Celebrations Bundle by Stampin UP by Laura Milligan
And for my third card, I kept things soft and simple. This belated birthday card features a delicate purple butterfly, a clean die-cut circle, and a few gentle ink splatters. The Coneflower Celebrations Bundle pairs so beautifully with subtle touches like these, and a few sequins give it that perfect little sparkle. Sometimes simple is best!

Facebook Live Recap with the Impressions Abloom Bundle

Facebook Live Recap with the Impressions Abloom Bundle

Create a card using the Impressions Abloom Bundle from Stampin' Up - Card by Laura Milligan 2

I had such a fun time crafting with you all during my recent Facebook Live, where I featured the beautiful new Impressions Abloom bundle from Stampin’ Up! We created this cheerful thank-you card together, using bold floral stamps, coordinating dies, and the sweetest embellishments. I just love the texture and detail the stamped flower brings, especially when layered with that crisp stitched rectangle. The patterned floral paper adds a vibrant, summery feel—perfect for expressing gratitude. If you missed the live, you can still catch the replay and see how easily this card comes together!

This card showcases the clean, elegant side of the Impressions Abloom bundle. Both cards use products from my upcoming Card Class To Go! I love the combination of the textured white panel and soft floral designer paper—it’s fresh, airy, and perfect for spring or summer. The die-cut flower is the star of the show, with layered petals and crisp green leaves bringing dimension and charm. A few pink embellishments add just the right amount of sparkle, and the delicate “Thanks” sentiment finishes it off beautifully.

I couldn’t wait to share this playful fun fold card I created during my recent Facebook Live! Featuring the brand new Poppin’ By Bundle from Stampin’ Up!, this card is bursting with personality — just look at that cute little popcorn box with its glasses and happy smile! I paired it with bold black-and-white Designer Series Paper for a striking background, and stamped “POP” across the top flap for an extra fun touch. The unique fold makes this card as fun to open as it is to create!

Here’s another version of this fun fold I created with the Impressions Abloom Bundle — one of my favorites from the new product release (an online exclusive)!

This fun fold design adds a little extra charm and makes it perfect for sending some sunshine in the mail.
