For this week’s Facebook Live, I made two beautiful and fun cards using the Fragrant Flowers Bundle and coordinating Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper that can be earned for FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration! I am also offering a Card Class-to-Go that includes both the Bundle and DSP. See the details at the end of the post.
This is such a gorgeous bundle – add the paper, and the cards are striking! I think this paper is being overlooked in the Saleabration offerings – don’t miss it! The “A” side of the paper is all florals – in beautiful, rich colors. The backside or “B” side of the paper is geometric patterns that are a great compliment to the florals.
Watch the replay here:
Here’s a close up of the first card – it was fun and new to me to angle the paper this way – you can see my “how to” in the FB Live.
The second card I made is a tri fold card – and uses the Calypso Coral colors. I love this large floral spray and love even more that it’s die cut directly from the Favored Flower DSP! That sure made creating this card easy!
Tri-Fold Card Measurements:
Calypso coral base – 4 ¼”x 5 ½”, 3 ¾” x 5” (inside panel)
DSP- 5 ¼” X 12″. Scored at 4″ and 8″
Basic white: 3 ½” x 4 ¾”
Here’s the first inside panel – this flower is fussy cut from the DSP, and mounted on a Stylish Shape circle.
The inside panel is simple – just a layer of Calypso Coral cardstock with a panel of Basic White mounted on top. I used the large floral stamp from the stamp set to add a little something to this panel. This also would look pretty stamped on the front of the envelope. It’s a beautiful stamp!
If you like these cards, then be sure to register for my Fragrant Flowers Card Class to Go. The cards in this class are striking!
Registration Closes Monday, February 13!

For this week’s Facebook Live, I made two cards using the Sweet Citrus Bundle with the Hybrid Embossing Folder. Here’s the replay, if you’d like to watch! These products are quite sweet!
The first card I made, is a very bright and cheery Daffodil Delight one! We need bright cards like this where I live, because there seems to be a lack of sunshine during these winter months! For this card, I used the embossing folder like I would for any embossing folder. It’s such a pretty one – I love all the detail. I finished it up with a fun greeting and a little embellishment.
The twine is from a new 3 Twine Combo Pack – and for my card I chose the Garden Green color – it coordinating with the Garden Green leaf I stamped and die cut.
My second card uses the Hybrid Embossing folder and is really cool – you actually put the die into the embossing folder – and not only does it emboss, but it also die cuts the four lemon shapes. Again, please watch the replay of the FB Live because I explain exactly how to use it!!! I love the detail of the embossing folder, and with the added hybrid die cut, it makes for a really cute card – and one that is really fun to make!

Create this beautiful yet simple Hello Card using the Forever Fern Stamp Set and Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch by Stampin’ Up!
Measurements:
- Pool Party cardstock: 8 ½” x 5 ½” (score at 4 ¼”), scraps for punching
- Soft Suede cardstock: 3 ⅞” x 5 ⅛”
- Crumb Cake cardstock: 3 ¾” x 5”
- Coastal Cabana cardstock: scrap for punching
- Bermuda Bay cardstock: scrap for punching
- Very Vanilla cardstock: scrap for die cutting
- Linen Thread: approx. 6-8”
Instructions:
- Fold the Pool Party cardstock in half to create the card base.
- Choose 3 different leaf/branch stamps from the Forever Fern stamp set. With Versamark ink, stamp one all over the Pool Party scraps, one all over the Coastal Cabana scraps and the third one all over the Bermuda Bay scraps.
- Use the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch, punch out two from the stamped Pool Party cardstock, two from the stamped Coastal Cabana cardstock and two from the stamped Bermuda Bay cardstock (cut one in half). Partial punched pieces are ok because some will get trimmed anyway (see the sample picture).
- Stick the punched pieces on the Crumb Cake card layer (portrait orientation) in two rows starting approx. ⅛” from the left edge. Make sure to stagger the rows, like if you were laying bricks!
- Row 1 (top-bottom): Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay
- Row 2 (top-bottom): Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay
- Flip the Crumb Cake layer over and trim off any pieces sticking over the edges. Doing this from the back gives you a straight edge to guide your scissors along.
- Stick the Crumb Cake layer on the Soft Suede layer. Then, stick the Soft Suede layer on the Pool Party card base.
- On a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock, stamp the “hello” from the Forever Fern set with Soft Suede ink. Die cut it out using a small, long label die from the Seasonal Labels dies set.
- Tie a bow with big loops from Linen Thread. Stick it on the back of the die cut label so that one loop and tail are visible on the top right and the other loop and tail are visible on the bottom left. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to stick the label onto the card just below center on the right side.
- Finish the card off by placing a small pearl on either end of the label.
