Today’s card is from the recent class featuring products from the Regency Park Suite Collection. The Petal Park Bundle is used to create the focal point on the front of the thank you card. In addition, the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder adds textural interest. Do you notice the card size? It’s not the typical 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ card. The card is the 6-1/4″ x 4-1/4″size in the Memories & More Cards and Envelopes Packs. It’s a nice alternate size to use especially when creating specialty cards. You’ll find the card materials and an assembly video below.

Let’s have some fun with the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks. You’ll find the decorative masks on page 65 in the Jan-Jun 2022 Mini Catalog from Stampin’ Up! It’s easy to overlook them but don’t! There’s lots you can do with the masks to create a variety of card fronts. I have created samples using two different Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative masks. Plus, you’ll see two different options for using the masks. One option uses a large floral mask to create a focal point for a card front and the other option uses the repeating small flower design to create a background. A list of materials for creating the cards is below, as well as, an assembly video. You’ll see how easy it is to create beautiful cards with the decorative masks.

Are you a plant lover? I am but unfortunately I do not have a “green thumb”. Thankful my husband keeps our houseplants alive! But Stampin’ Up! offers me the chance to create plants that don’t need watering or the right amount of light to survive (LOL). This week, I have a fun fold card featuring the Plentiful Plants Bundle. It also features the Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper which coordinates with the stamp bundle. What’s great is the Perfect Plants Dies from the bundle will cut some of the images found in the designer series paper. This is especially helpful when you need to create a card quickly. As you’ll notice on the stamped envelope below, the plant and pot have shading. Thanks to the Plentiful Plants Stamp Set containing Distinktive stamps which create beautiful shaded images.
The materials, measurements and assembly details are located below the card photo.

As promised, this week’s card is a new theme and features the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle. The beauty of the stamp set is the Distinktive design which provides a dimensional effect. Additionally, the stamps do not completely fill the line image stamp thus leaving unstamped background areas. This provides additional dimension and interest to the images. So if you’re stamping and think you’ve made a mistake, you haven’t. The images are supposed to be “imperfect”. Today’s thanks card is featuring the Hand-Penned Petals large floral spray and the new In-Colors. I love how the In-Colors coordinate together on projects. Details for creating the card are below.
Hand-Penned Petals Thanks Card Details:
Create card base using Thick Basic White cardstock (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score & fold at 4-1/4″).
Layer one is a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Polished Pink cardstock.
The next layer is a Fresh Freesia Gingham print from the Pansy Petal Designer Series Paper (5″ x 3-3/4″).
On Basic White cardstock, stamp the large floral spray from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set two (2) times using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
Use the following Classic Stampin’ Ink Pads to stamp the flowers and leaves: Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink (stamp off once before stamping pink flowers) and Soft Succulent.
Cut each of the floral sprays using the coordinating die from the Penned Flowers Dies.
Add the floral sprays to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Position so that the floral sprays slightly overlap to create one large floral spray.
For the sentiment, “thanks” is heat embossed using Versamark and White Embossing Powder. After embossing and allowing to cool slightly, fussy cut around the word. Attach to the lower corner of the card.
Complete card by embellishing with Genial Gems.
If you’re like me and a lover of floral stamps, you’ll want to add this set to your stamp collection.

Where did the time go? Wednesday sped by and I’m late on my weekly Wednesday post! Hey, better late than never. No worries though, today I am sharing not one but three cards showcasing Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. So, it’s worth the wait (LOL).
The paper is gorgeous and provides a beautiful background for cards. With it’s beauty, you can make gorgeous cards easily. Since I am in need of Thank You cards, I am using the same sentiment from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set on all three of the cards. For all the cards, the same basic cardstock colors are used. But on two of the cards, I have “stepped up” the designs using the Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate on one and Gilded Leafing Embellishment on another.
Details:
The sentiment for all 3 of the cards is stamped onto Basic White cardstock and cut using a die from the Hippo & Friends Dies. Gold Glimmer Enamel Dots are added for extra embellishment.
The base for card one is So Saffron cardstock with a layer of Terracotta Tile cardstock. For cards two and three, Terracotta Tile cardstock creates the base and a second layer of So Saffron cardstock is added.
Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (3-3/4″ x 5″) creates the top layer on each card.
For card one, the designer series paper is adhered to the Terracotta Tile cardstock layer before the cardstock layer is added to the card base. Wrap a piece of Terracotta Tile Ribbon (from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack) around the layer then adhere to the card base.
On card two, the Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate is layered atop the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. Since the specialty acetate matches the designer series paper, it adds beautiful gold outlining to the print.
And lastly, to step up card three, the coordinating Art Gallery Stamp Set is used to stamp 3 small flowers and Gilded Leaf Embellishment highlights the center of each. Two of the flowers are stamped using Terracotta Tile (stamp off onto a scrap of paper before stamping onto Basic White piece) and one flower stamped using So Saffron. After stamping the main piece with the inks, the inner piece is stamped with Versamark, Heat & Stick Powder is applied then activated with the Heat Tool. Once activated, the Gilded Leaf Embellishment is added and rubbed on each flower. Easy-peasy!
If you’re looking for lots of fun – definitely try the Gilded Leaf Embellishment!
