As I mentioned yesterday, I am featuring the Florals in Bloom Suite Collection this week.

Today’s project is a great card that features one of the stunning new Designer Series Paper pages.

I adhered the DSP panel on a Basic White panel and added it to a Secret Sea cardbase.

Then I added two strips of the Secret Sea card across the card front – one strip is 1/2″ and the other is 3/4″.

The greeting, from the Sweet Blooms stamp set, was stamped in Strawberry Slush and then cut. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it height.

The floral image was stamped using Petunia Pop, Secret Sea, and Summer Splash inks. The solid image was stamped off to make the colour lighter. The floral outline was stamped at full strength.

The die cut flowers were positioned on the card front using dimensionals.

The card insert and envelope were finished using the same DSP.

I added some Secret Sea Flat Pearls to the front of the card.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

Today’s card is all about the simple design rule of three.

The design “rule of three” suggests that grouping items in threes, or odd numbers generally, is more visually appealing, memorable, and effective than even-numbered groupings. 

The card I have made for today’s share has three floral elements, three branches, three sentiment panels and three embellishments.

This week I am featuring the Florals in Bloom Suite Collection and the new 2025-2027 In Colours.

I hope you like the card I have made to share with you.

The new Secret Sea In Colour is such a deep, rich colour and it works so well with the coordinating DSP.

The Sweet Blooms greeting was stamped twice in Secret Sea and once in Strawberry Slush.

The flower from the Pretty Florals Dies was cut three times – once in Strawberry Slush and two in Basic White. The two white flowers were coloured using a Blending Brush and the Strawberry Slush Classic Stamp Pad.

Three leafy stems were cut from Shy Shamrock card.

All of the elements were then added to the card front.

I have more to share about this card – but – you will need to wait until Friday.

The card insert and back of the envelope had one of the Strawberry Slush DSP designs added.

Tomorrow I have another project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

This week I am featuring the Florals in Bloom Suite Collection that you will find in the May 2025 – April 2026 Annual Catalogue.

For the two scrapbooking pages I have created I focussed on the Designer Series Paper and then added some stamped and die cut elements.

I used White Willow 12″x 12″ card and Strawberry Slush and Secret Sea A4 card. The layers of card and DSP were measured and cut before being added to the white background.

Each page was almost an exact mirror to each other.

The title was made using the word dies from the Sweet Blooms Dies. The Strawberry Slush die cuts were adhered to the Secret Sea word base using Adhesive Sheets.

To decorate the pages I stamped and die cut several of the floral images from the Pretty Florals Bundle.

I have yet to add photos and journalling areas to these pages.

One of the greatest features of a Designer Series Paper pack is the gorgeous coordination in both colour and design. Thank goodness we have an amazing Concept Artists team at Stampin’ Up!©.

I will share some cards and a 3D project during the week.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
