Nature's Sweetness Designer Series Paper is Spectacular!

 You can still purchase this spectacular paper online at Stampin' Up! The paper, featured in the last mini catalog, is still available. 

Nature's Sweetness Designer Series Paper



I have used it in this card and I think it is the perfect backdrop for my design. The fun fold, shared by my upline, Ronda Wade, is delightful as well!


The front panel is a flap created by inserting a folded smaller card, attaching it to the inside and letting it fold over the top.





The nest of die cuts that provide a backdrop for the flower come from a variety die sets (listed below). See if you can spot them.  It is fun to mix and match from your stash. 

Thoughtful Wishes

Irresistable Blooms

Magnolia Mood

The flower is from Flowers of Beauty


Don't forget that bundles are an 10% off during the month of JUNE!

Item 163461

Was 46.75 now 41.50

This card was a big hit at my last card class. The group loved the total "girly" look of this card. 

I used the Painted Lavender dies to create the foliage.  And the doily to hold the cup is a die from Unbounded LoveUnbounded Love bundle, also on sale. 

I used the Forever Love Designer series paper for the card -- Unfortunately it is retired. But you can find a great replacement in your stash, I'm sure.

Have fun adding some foliage and embossing to the background.

The Masking Technique can Add Some Fun to Your Creations!

Latte Love is a delightful Stamp & Die bundle from Stampin’ Up! I have really enjoyed using it for a variety of cards. But I had not thought about filling it with flowers, until I saw a version done by Monique de Kok from the Netherlands (https://www.moniquedekok.com/). She put pencils in her cup. What a fun idea!


To make the flowers look like they are in the pot, use the masking technique. 

Stamp the cup on masking paper and cut it out. 



Then ink up the stamp but be careful NOT to ink the rim of the cup … the part that goes around the back. You can use a cue tip to remove any ink that you get on the rim before you stamp. See the pictures.


Stamp the cup on the cardstock panel. Place the masking paper cut out on top and stamp the flowers or any other items you may want to store in your cup. Have fun creating!


Flower Centers are created with Pearlized Enamel Effects for a fun embellishment!




The butterfly is sparkled with Wink of Stella
These two items are inexpensive ways to add embellishments to any card!

Add then some die cut foliage from Painted Lavender dies!
