Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month’s theme is “Flowers in Bloom.” The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the Pals’ blogs are at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!

For this month’s flower theme, I wanted to show off two, new, 2025-2027 In Colors, Timid Tiger and Strawberry Slush. The flowers are featured in the wonderful, Celebratory Sips Designer Paper, as well as the die-cuts. I began by cutting the designer paper 5 1/2″ X 4″, and gluing it to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I used a Fancy Borders Die to cut two sections of Basic White Cardstock, which I glued on the top, and bottom, of the card front. Prior to gluing the top section, I used one of the Glass & Gardens Embossing Folders to give it texture.

Fancy Borders Flowers

The three flowers were cut with Happy Hibiscus Dies from three colors of cardstock: Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, and Bubble Bath. The leaves were created with a Fancy Borders Die and Old Olive Cardstock. After gluing the leaves to the flowers, I attached them with Mini Dimensionals, and added 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls to the centers.

 “Hello there,” is from the Blooming Phrases Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink. I wasn’t thinking, or I would have used the new, Secret Sea In Color. Don’t you love the font in this set? Be sure to click on the picture in my Product List below to see all of the sentiments.

We have more inspiration to share, so use the lineup below to visit each team member’s page for fresh ideas, unique styles, and endless inspiration. And get ready—next month, we’re designing with the “New In Colors” to showcase how beautiful and versatile they are for your projects. Until then, have fun in your craft space.
