Today I’m sharing a fresh and cheerful card that features two of my favorite Stampin’ Up! products – the Blooming Phrases Stamp Set and the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder. I love how the delicate flowers from Blooming Phrases look paired with the bold embossed background from the Sunflower Folder—it’s such a perfect mix of soft and textured! A touch of Linen Thread and an embossed greeting finish the look beautifully.

During my recent Facebook Live over on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page, I featured the absolutely gorgeous Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up! I had so much fun creating these two cards — each with a little different look, but both showcasing the stunning elements from this suite!
The first card is bold and beautiful — I love how the richly colored florals pop against the softly embossed background. That Designer Series Paper is one of my favorites in the collection… such pretty patterns and colors! A little ribbon, some die-cut blooms, and those sweet embellishments finish it off perfectly.
The second card is softer and serene — I used the coordinating dies to create a tone-on-tone look with a pop of crisp white. The sentiment, “You’ve been on my mind,” is perfect for sending a little love to someone special. And isn’t that stitched circle die cut darling?

If you tuned in to my recent Facebook Live, you saw two beautiful cards I created using the Extraordinary Flora Bundle and the stunning coordinating Washi Tape. The response was amazing — so many of you loved the projects and have been asking for an IN PERSON class. Well, I heard you loud and clear… and I’m so excited to announce a brand new In Person Card Class (with a to-go option, of course)!
The Extraordinary Flora Bundle is packed with elegant florals, perfect for creating cards that truly “wow.” In my Facebook Live, I showcased two designs (shown below).

I loved creating these three cards with the Thankful Garden Suite of products. I hope they show how beautiful and versatile these products are!
Below you will find the recording of my FB Live. Please watch to see how these cards go together!
The first card I created used a bold color palette – featuring Blueberry Bushel. I used the coordinating masks to add color to the stamped image. I am lucky to have blue hydrangeas in my garden – oh they are just beautiful! That was the inspiration for the first card:
Next, a shabby chic, vintage card. This card was based on my Annabelle hydrangeas in my garden. They are so pretyt as well, and I love the soft white with a hint of green on the flower. For this card, I used Basic Beige ink and added a very light touch of color to the stamped images. Soft Seafoam was the ink for the leaves- color was added with the Masks. I used an upcoming online exclusion called Damask Designs Embossing Folder for the Basic White panel. I used a Blending Brush with some Basic Beige ink to highlight the embossed floral pattern. The addition of the small lock and key was also fun – these come from the Tags to Go dies.
The third card is a fun fold – you can see how it comes together on the FB Live recording. For this card, I pulled the colors from the Desinger Series Paper. So pretty!
Hope you have enjoyed these cards! Do you have a favorite?
