This light shade of pink is the star of the show on today’s card, with a card base cut from Barely Blush Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The six squares were cut from Bloom Boutique Designer Paper with a Stylish Shapes Die, layered on cardstock for thickness, and attached with Dimensionals.The Bloom Boutique Designer Paper has tiny bits of all the 2026-2028 In Colors, plus gold highlights.

Bloom Boutique In Colors

 

Next, I used Words & Wishes Dies to cut “Happy Birthday” from Gold Foil. After backing the words with cardstock for thickness, I glued them in place.

 

For the inside, I cut a similar pattern of Bloom Boutique DSP, 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″, and glued it in place. (I cut it a spec smaller, so it wouldn’t hang over the edge). Then, I cut Basic White Cardstock with a Stylish Shapes Die for a sentiment from the Words & Wishes Stamp Set. I stamped “you make life sweeter than cake” in Crisp Cantaloupe Ink. The cake, also from the Words & Wishes Stamp Set, was stamped in Barely Blush Ink on Basic White Cardstock, cut with a Words & Wishes Die, and glued in place.

 

Here’s another view of the inside, where you can see the gold highlights.

Valley In Bloom Fun Fold

 

I began with a card base of Pool Party Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/4″, scored on the long side, 3″, 6″, and 7 1/4″, and folded. The top piece is 3″ X 8 1/2″, scored on the long side at 4 1/4″, and folded in half. After cutting and folding, I added Valley In Bloom Designer Paper: 5″ X 2 3/4″, and 5″ X 1″ to the front of the card base. And, 2 /3/4″ X 4″ to the front of the top piece.  When gluing the top piece, I glued only the portion that touches the card base, while laying folded, and flat, to insure the edges were even.

 

Next, I added Valley In Bloom Designer Paper  to the inside, 5″ X 2 3/4″, along with a sentiment from the Words & Wishes Stamp Set. After stamping “Happy Birthday” in Garden Green Ink on the DSP, I used a Words & Wishes Die for cutting, layered it for thickness, and glued it in place.

 

To complete the card front, I used Words & Wishes Dies to cut the words “For you” from Valley In Bloom DSP. After layering the words on cardstock for thickness, I glued them in place. For a little sparkle, I added Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

 

Thank you for stopping by and hopping with us today! We hope our Flowers in Bloom projects brought you lots of creative inspiration. Next month we’ll be sharing projects featuring the NEW In Color family, and we can’t wait to show you just how amazing these fresh new colors are.

Now it’s time to keep the inspiration going! Follow the lineup below to see even more great projects! And I hope to see you again next month

Help Me Grow for Pals Blog Hop

To see photos correctly, please click “read on blog.”

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s Stampin’ Pretty Pals Blog Hop is all about the men in our lives, because they deserve handmade cards too! Whether you’re creating for a dad, husband, son, grandson, brother, or friend, this hop is packed with ideas to help you craft something special. 

Men like to be outside, and many enjoy gardening, so I chose the Help Me Grow Bundle.

By Su Mohr for Pals Blog Hop; Click aromasandart.com to go to my website for details! Featuring: Help Me Grow Bundle, Wood Grain Wonders DSP; #helpmegrow #woodgrainwonders #gardening #masculinecards #masculine #palsbloghop #thankyoucards #handmadecards #handcrafted #cardmaking #stampinup

Help Me Grow

 

I began by cutting the green plants, with Help Me Grow Dies, from two different designer papers: Splendid Autumn and Lovely Blossoms. Using designer paper is an easy way to add variation in color, and texture.

 

Next, I used a Blending Brush to apply Timid Tiger Ink to Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used a Help Me Grow Die to cut the clay pot, and placed it on Dimensionals. The pot has a slit for the plants to fit inside!

 

For the background, this bundle works well with Wood Grain Wonder Designer Paper in its wonderful shades of brown. The Early Espresso shade, 3 3/34 X 5″, is layered with a Crumb Cake shade 1/8″ smaller. The “dirt,” in a Pecan Pie shade, was layered along the bottom, cut with a Help Me Grow die at the top. Then, the layers were glued to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. 

“Thanks” is from the Help Me Grow Stamp Set. I stamped it in Early Espresso Ink on a Basic Beige shade of Wood Grain Wonders DSP, and used a Help Me Grow die for cutting. Isn’t the sign cute?

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope my project inspired you to create something special for the guys in your life. Be sure to continue along the hop for even more inspiration from the Stampin’ Pretty Pals. Next month will be Flowers in Bloom, so mark your calendars!

Lovely Arrangements Fun Fold for the Pals Blog Hop

To see photos correctly, please click “read on blog.”

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s Stampin’ Pretty Pals Blog Hop is all about Birthday Celebrations. Whether you love bright and playful designs, elegant birthday greetings, or quick and simple projects, you’ll find plenty of inspiration along the hop.

For this month’s birthday card, I created a  triple fold-out, Fun Fold. 

By Su Mohr for Pals Blog Hop; Click aromasandart.com to go to my website for details! Featuring: Lovely Arrangements Bundle, Lovely Blossoms Designer Paper; #lovelyarrangements #lovelyblossoms #handmadecards'handcrafted #stampinup #palsblog hop #birthdaycards #funfold

Lovely Arrangements Fun Fold

 

I began with a Crumb Cake card base, 4 1/4″ X 11″. Then, I scored on the 11″ side: 2 1/2″, 3 3/4″, 6 3/4″, and 8 1/4″, and burnished the score lines (mountain/valley, mountain/valley). Next, I cut three pieces of Lovely Blossoms Designer Paper (Secret Sea pattern): front panel 3 1/8″ X 4″, middle panel 4″ X 4″, and back panel 2 1/4″ X 4″. Then, I cut Lovely Blossoms Designer Paper for the first two panels, and Basic White Cardstock for the third panel, 1/8″ smaller.  After gluing these together, I glued  the panels to the folds, as shown. I was careful not to add glue to the portion that remains “free.” 

 

To decorate the front panel, I used Lovely Arrangements Dies to cut Basic White Cardstock, and Lovely Blossoms Designer Paper. After cutting, I attached the “trellis” with Dimensionals, and glued the leaves in place.

 

“Happy Birthday’ is from the Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set. I stamped it in Secret Sea Ink,  and used a Lovely Arrangements label die, for cutting. Then, I used a second, Lovely Arrangements label die to cut Lovely Blossoms Designer Paper, glued the two together, and glued the sentiment in place.  The third panel is ready for a personal, birthday message with a simple decoration of die-cut leaves.

 

Keep the inspiration going! Follow the lineup below to hop through each blog, and enjoy the great ideas. Next month we’re creating projects for the guys, young and old, in our lives. You won’t want to miss it!

Endless Love Fun Fold with Sneak Peeks

To see photos correctly, please click “read on blog.”

This month, we’re speaking the Language of Love! If you’re craving inspiration and a good excuse to break out your favorite craft supplies, you’re in the right place. This hop is all about sharing the love through handmade cards and paper crafts, and the Pals can’t wait to inspire you with beautiful creations made using Stampin’ Up! products.

For this month’s blog hop, I’m giving you some sneak peeks, plus Endless Love, on a “fun fold” design. The Endless Love Bundle is current, and the new products will be available March 3.

By Su Mohr for Pals Blog Hop; Click aromasandart.com to go to my website for details! Featuring: Endless Love, Paradise Garden, Garden Poetry DSP, Help Me Grow Dies; #endlesslove #helpmegrow #gardenpoetry #valentine #hearts #funfold #cardmaking #handmadecards #handcrafted #stampinup

Fun Fold Heart

 

I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I cut two inches off the front, and embossed the 2 1/4″ front flap with the new, Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder.

 

Next, I used an Endless Love Die to cut three hearts. Two were cut from the new, Garden Poetry Designer Paper, and one from Basic White Cardstock. I love the watercolor patterns in the Garden Poetry Designer Paper.

 

I glued half of a DSP heart to the front flap, and backed it with a second heart, lining up the holes. After gluing Garden Party DSP (4″ X 5 1/4″) to the inside, I lined up the white heart, and glued it in place. Then, I used Endless Love dies to cut “XOXO” from DSP, and glued them in place.

 

To complete the front, I chose the sentiment, “today and always,” from the Endless Love Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink and used an Endless Love Die for cutting. Then, I used a new, Help Me Grow Die to cut a branch from Basic White Cardstock, and glued it as if it’s growing through the hole in the sentiment label. As a final touch, I  attached three, Iridescent Pearls.

 

Keep the inspiration going! Follow the lineup below to hop from blog to blog and soak up every lovely, heart-filled idea along the way. And don’t stop there! Next month we’re celebrating all things Birthday Celebrations, and it’s going to be a party you won’t want to miss. Be sure to mark your calendar and hop along with us!

Endless Love for a Happy Day

To see photos correctly, please click “read on blog.”

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is “Something New.” If you’re looking for inspiration and a reason to play with your craft supplies, this hop is for you! The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the participant’s blogs can be found at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!

Today’s card is featuring new products I’ve highlighted in bold letters. The card base is 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, in a beautiful blue color, Azure Afternoon. I layered it with White Willow Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, and gave it texture with the Eyelet Embossing Folder.

By Su Mohr for TGIF; Click aromasandart.com to go to my website for details! Featuring: Endless Love Bundle, Easter Time Mix & Match Ephemera, Love Notes Mix & Match DSP, Gallery Blooms Dies, Eyelet Embossing Folder; #eastertime #lovenotes #endlesslove #eyeletembossing #galleryblooms #handmadecards #cardmaking #stampinup

Happy Day in Azure Afternoon

 

Next, I created the frame using a Gallery Blooms Die to cut gingham, Love Notes Mix & Match Designer Paper. Then, I cut a second frame from White Willow Cardstock, and glued the two together. I did this to make the frame sturdier for raising on Dimensionals, and to prevent a red “glow” from the reverse side of the gingham paper.

 

To decorate the frame, I used  Endless Love Stamps to stamp a heart and “Happy Day” in Azure Afternoon Ink on White Willow Cardstock. After stamping, I used an Endless Love Die for cutting. The watering can is from Easter Time Mix & Match Ephemera. Both were glued to the frame before attaching the entire piece to the card front on Dimensionals. To complete the design, I used an Endless Love Die to cut the small heart from the Love Notes Mix & Match gingham paper, and attached it with a Dimensional. 

 

Keep the inspiration going! Follow the lineup below to hop through each blog, and enjoy seeing new products in action. Next month we’re creating for the “Language of Love” theme. You won’t want to miss it!
