The inspiration for today’s card is one I received at On Stage from one of my Up Line. It is a simply gorgeous card that is great for so many occasions. Thank You to Pam Morris for this wonderful card idea.
Background
This gorgeous background is from the Layered Floral 3D Embossing Folder. The flowers are wonderful and have really great detail to them. This folder is from the current Mini Catalog and is going to carryover. I am thrilled about that!
Stamps and Dies
The little “Hello” sentiment is from the Wonderful Thoughts Bundle. It includes the matching die for this tiny Hello. They both are fairly small and such a sweet addition to the card. Also the heart is from this same Die set. I was thrilled to find the Hello fit perfectly inside the heart.
The bouquet of flowers is from the Die set as well. When layering these pieces, I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the upper flowers of the bouquet and placed it. Then I added a large and two small Stampin’ Dimensionals to the heart and placed it over top of the bottom portion of the bouquet. By having the upper flowers raised a bit it gives some added texture.
Papers and Finishes
To have no designer series paper and only two colors is very unusual for me. Simply having only the two colors makes for an elegant card with just a touch of the color popping. There was much debate in my brain about adding additional finishing touches. But in the end I went with the simplicity that Pam had on her card. I only used a single Rhinestone jewel. Sometimes that is all you need. 🙂

One of the On Line Exclusives is the star of today’s card. It is the Irresistible Blooms stamp set. This makes for a quick card that would be great in any floral color.
Stamps
The Irresistible Blooms is a great stamp set with a matching Die set. It is one of the Online Exclusives and is a Bundle for some additional savings. I only used the stamps for this card. There are two different size flower heads. The larger one is stamped side by side using Berry Burst Ink and the smaller bloom is stamped above them. For the leaves, I stamped it three times across the bottom using Garden Green Ink.
The joyous sentiment is from the stamp set as well. It is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then simply trimmed. Because it is sitting on the ribbon, I felt it was fine as is. The centers of the flowers are colored using the Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write Marker. I was being a little different instead of using the Stampin’ Blends. However either would be fine. There is also “splatter” made with an additional stamp in the set. It is scattered around the flowers using Lemon Lolly Ink.
Papers
This is the second card in a row that I did not use Designer Series paper! That is shocking!! I used the same colors of paper as Ink. The card base is Garden Green that is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 folded at 4 1/4. For the layer I used Berry Burst that is 3 7/8 X 5 1/8. And the Basic White layer is 3 3/4 X 5.
Finishes
To ground the sentiment, I used the Garden Green Ribbon from the Garden Green and Real Red Ribbon Combo. Two lengths were cut to add some texture and color beneath the sentiment. And to finish the card I added a scattering of the Adhesive Back Solid Gems. These include a few different colors. But most importantly for this card they include yellow. I added two of the large size on the sentiment layer and then a few more around the flowers.

I have made a card to show all of the New In Colors in one spot. It really allows you to see how well they work together. And what better way to show colors than by painting them.
Colors
This card shares the five New In Colors for 2024-2026. I thought “painting” with them was a good way to show each one, but all together. From left to right they are Petunia Pop, Summer Splash, Peach Pie, Shy Shamrock and Pretty In Pink. I hope you will share your favorites. Mine are Petunia Pop and Shy Shamrock. Although I am happy to see Pretty In Pink again after many years.
Stamp Sets
This fun paint brush that helps to show the colors is from the Trusty Tools set. Having a filler stamp for the handle simply added to the ease of making and showed additional of the color. The sentiment is from the Very Best Occasions stamp set. It and the Double Oval Punch, which the sentiment is punched using, are both retiring. That is so sad. But I am almost over loosing my favorite punch.
Finishes
This is a extremely plain card from my norm. That is more due to the White on White. No DSP is what is most unusual. So I had to add bling. But first to ground the sentiment I added a couple of loops of Linen Thread and then a double bow. Twine goes perfectly with painting. For the Bling, I went with the new In Colors again. These are one of each of the In Colors from the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems. You know I love these with that bit of shimmer to them. And they are pretty flat. That is a win as well for mailing!

The card I have today is a little Pocket card. And the small card could be used as a bookmark if someone wanted to do that. It stars the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and the Hills of Tuscany stamp set.
Here is the tag removed.
Paper
The gorgeous Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper really helps to make this scene complete. It has such gorgeous colors and works great with so many other colors. I pulled the Crumb Cake card stock for the card base and then went with Gorgeous Grape as the layer. Then the Crumb Cake is repeated on the back of the tag as well.
Stamps
The Hills of Tuscany stamp set is retiring and I love it. The ability to maneuver the “hill” stamp to create a variety of layers of grass is one of my favorite things. The tree and cloud stamps are great as well. I do love the font on both the main sentiment as well as the little “hello”.
The Painted Lavender stamp set came into play as well. I used the bunch of greenery with the group of flower heads to add lavender to the base of the hill on my tag. Previously I made a card with a similar scene on the card front. You can see that card HERE.
Finishes
To complete this card I added some of my favorite ribbon. It is the 2022-2024 In Color Metallic Ribbon. This time I used the Orchid Oasis Ribbon. I know you see me using this ribbon quite a lot. But sadly it will be gone at the end of the month. The other finish is the Best Label Punch that the Hello is stamped on. This little guy is great for simple and small sentiments. It makes the perfect little tag. And it is going away as well. I recommend grabbing this ribbon and punch!
Measurements
The card base is Crumb Cake cut to 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 with the Gorgeous Grape layer at 4 X 5 1/4. For the main White layer it is 3 3/4 X 5. There are two pieces of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper used. Each is 3 3/4 X 3 and cut top left to bottom right for the left side and then top right to bottom left for the right side pieces. This leaves you pre cut DSP for another card only with the patterns opposite sides of this card.
Before stamping the inside sentiment, test your tag to see how far it will come up so you are covering that sentiment. For the tag you need a Crumb Cake that is 2 3/4 X 4 and the White is 2 1/2 X 3 3/4. To put the card together, add Tear & Tape to the outside and bottom of the two DSP pieces. Put the tape right up to the edge. ***Place the tag under the layers before you adhere so you have a bit of extra room.

I have a Fun Fold to share today. It is a little twist on a Z Fold. The star image is a sneak peek from the Hearts & Hugs Bundle in the upcoming Annual Catalog.
Stamp Bundle
This little hamster / gerbil, or whatever he is, is so cute. This is the only kind of these critters I like, those that are on a card!!! The hamster is stamped and die cut using the Hearts & Hugs Bundle. All of the images are adorable little critters. And there is an actual mouse as one of the images.
The set of hearts are also in the matching Die set. I trimmed them down to fit his hands. And added the Pool Party background. The sentiment is from the stamp set as well. Below is the inside of the card views. The inside sentiment is from the Perennial Postage stamp set that is retiring.
Open Views
Papers
The DSP used is from the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper. The stripes and flowers work great together and add to the cheerfulness of the front image. The cards are both Basic White. With all of the layers, I used regular weight instead of the Thick Basic White. The inside hearts are the cut outs of the strand of hearts Mr. Hamster is holding. I thought this was a great use for them.
Measurements
The large card base is 4 1/4 X 11 and scored at 5 1/2. I cut from the right score line down to the left corner of the front flap. The DSP for that angle cut is 5 1/4 X 4 and cut in landscape from the top left to bottom right. For a bonus, you have a piece already to go for a second card. The inside striped DSP is also 5 1/4 X 4. For the mini card you need Basic White cut 8 X 3 1/8 and scored/folded at 4. The DSP for the front of this card is 3 7/8 X 3. Definitely need to dry fit this to ensure you have even borders around the small card on the inside of the large card, but that the front flap will also close.

Before I get to this card I have a confession to make. This is the card that should have posted yesterday!! I was running around all day and never checked to see if it posted. By the time I realized it had not, it was too late to really share. So it has become today’s card. Apparently I was a day off when I entered the date I wanted it to post! DUH!!!
Today’s card is a mix of upcoming products in the next Annual Catalog.The papers and stamp set are all new products.
Stamps
The gorgeous flowers are from the Spotlight On Nature stamp set. It is a bundle in the upcoming Annual Catalog. The bundle includes a mix of Layering Circle Dies that each have different edging. It is a bundle you will be interested in for sure! I used all new colors for this. Since the stamp is red rubber I used the 2024-2026 Stampin’ Write Markers. These can be purchased together and are a great product to have on hand. The colors I used are Petunia Pop for the darker coloring in the flower with Pretty In Pink for the lighter. And the leaves/stem are Shy Shamrock for the darker with Summer Splash as the lighter.
The sentiment is from an Online Exclusive stamp set. It is the Sweetly Scripted. The set is all sentiments with the long tails at the beginning and end. They will go the length of a card almost wether landscape or portrait positioning. I love them!! This one I needed to be rather short. The best way to show off everything was to fussy cut around it. These fonts are my favorite for beautiful and stand out type sentiments.
Papers
The papers on this card are all of the new In Colors as well. The card base is Shy Shamrock. This is a great green with a little brightness to it. I chose it for the leaves and stem color. And the DSP is from the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper 6×6 pack. I used Pretty In Pink in the stripe and Petunia Pop in the floral. The two prints are the front and back of these papers. Although the back of the Petunia Pop would be striped Petunia Pop.
Finishes
To tie together the colors, I added a simple ribbon in the Summer Splash Ribbon. It is wrapped around and then a small knot tied to the left side. The position was to allow the sentiment to fit in. And to finish off the card I added some subtle Pearls. There are several scattered around.

I have another retiring set today. This one is the Color & Contour stamp set. Even though I did not use them, the matching Scallops & Contour Dies are retiring as well. Without intending too, I used quite a few of the Retiring Items.
Stamps
The Color & Contour stamp set is another one that is a single set card. The flowers are fun and the sentiments are great. It includes this flower as well as a daisy. Both are outlines with a filler for the color. I stamped this lovely flower with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then filled it with Berry Burst Ink. The sentiment is from the stamp set as well. The font for this one is so elegant looking. I wish I could write like that!
Papers
The bright papers used are all Berry Burst in one form or another. The card base is Berry Burst with lighter versions in the DSP. The polka dot and the variegated pieces are both from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. This is the 6X6 paper that goes with the Beautiful Balloons stamp set. All of these items are on the Retiring List.
There is a little bit extra with the Basic White sentiment layer. I punched a piece of Vellum card stock using the Decorative Circle Punch. Sadly both of these items are on the Retiring List. I believe the Vellum is already sold out. The only good thing there is that it can be purchased from other paper companies and is not unique to SU.
Extras
There is not a fill for the leaves on the flower. So I decided to leave them as is. But to add the green color, I used the Parakeet Party Metallic Ribbon. You know I use these In Color Ribbons quite often. These colors of ribbon all retiring are ones I will truly miss. To go along with the ribbon, I added a few of the 2022-2024 In Color Pearls. There are two of the Parakeet Party ones around the leaves and one of the Sweet Sorbet (even though it matches the Berry Burst very well) on the sentiment layer.

I really hate to see the Notes of Nature retiring. So here is a little mix of it and other retiring color products. It is a blue day in nature.
Bundle
The Notes of Nature Bundle is great for “layering” type cards as well as distressed looking ones. The stamp set has several background type stamps. I have used three of those to create the background on this card. And the sentiment is from the set as well. This is a great sentiment in the wording as well as the mix of fonts. Two of the background images are stamped using Boho Blue Ink. The splatter stamp is inked with Starry Sky ink and is stamped and then stamped a second and third time without re-inking to give the different shades of blue. And the sentiment is Starry Sky on Boho Blue card stock.
The Notes of Nature Dies not only cut some of the stamped images, but also have two large dies to create borders or strips. I chose to use the notebook looking strip to add a layer to the sentiment. The holes leave no doubt that it is a torn notebook. For the floral cuttings, I stamped with Starry Sky Ink onto Pebbled Path card stock.
Papers
To make a card without DSP is not common for me, but today I have done that. This “blue” card is all card stock. The card base is Starry Sky with a layer of Boho Blue. The only different colors are the Pebbled Path for the die cut floral and then the die cut notebook piece That drafting paper look is a piece from the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper. The fronts of this pack of paper has gold splatter or lettering on them and the backs are more plain. This was a perfect match for the Pebbled Path images.
Finishes
The finishes today are different than what I usually list as my finishes. There is no bling! Shocking I know. But the ribbon used is the Starry Sky Woven Metallic Ribbon. As I have said many times, this is my favorite ribbon. It has some shimmer and the colors work with so many colors other than what they are supposed to match. Plus the sentiment layers are a bit different with the added layer of the notebook piece.
