Jul 20, 2020 | 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, 2020-2022 In Colors, Artistry Blooms, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Dies, Many Layered Blossoms, Thank You |
Last week, one of my posts highlighted the Blossoms in Bloom bundle. Today’s card features the Many Layered Blossoms Dies which are part of the bundle. With just the dies, you are able to create various floral combinations. It makes card creating very simple. Combining the die cut overlay with the die cut of designer series paper and you quickly have the makings of a card!
Materials for the Many Layered Blossoms card:
- Card base: Bumblebee cardstock.
- Whisper White cardstock: for layer onto card base; for floral overlay die cut and for the sentiment
- Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper: for the floral die cut
- Stamp Set: Many Mates for sentiment
- Layering Ovals Dies – for sentiment label
- Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad
- Bumblebee 2020-2022 In Color 1/4″ Ribbon
- Adhesives: Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, Stampin’ Dimensionals & Stampin’ Seal
Tips:
- Use a sponge to add the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the back of the floral overlay and then attach to the Artistry Blooms die cut floral layer. OR: attach an Adhesive Sheet to the Whisper White cardstock prior to die cutting.
- Attach the completed floral piece to the Whisper White layer and wrap ribbon around card before attaching to the card base.
- Add the stamped sentiment to the card across the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
If you enjoy creating floral theme cards, you’ll want to add the Many Layered Blossoms Dies (or the Blossoms in Bloom Bundle) to your crafting supplies!

Today’s project is a quick and easy Matchbook Style Treat Holder. The treat holders were “a little something” in the June To-Go Class packages. The new 2020-2022 In Color cardstock provides the coordinating base for the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper. I just love that the Flowers with Every Season Designer Series Paper coordinates with all of the new In Colors! The small packages of m&m candies fit perfectly inside the Matchbook Style Treat Holder but it’s easy to place other treats inside of a small cellophane bag to insert into the treat holder.

How To Create the Matchbook Style Treat Holder:
For the matchbook body: Cut a piece of cardstock 2-3/4″ x 8-1/2″. Score at 3-1/2″, 4″ and 7-3/4″; burnish the score lines with a bone folder. Then, fold along the 7-3/4″ score line and staple to create a tab to hold the top closed. (remember, we’re making a matchbook)
Next, cut the following:
- coordinating cardstock – one piece at 2-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ and another piece at 2-1/2″ x 5/8″
- Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper: one piece 2-1/2″ x 3″ & one piece 2-1/4″ x 1/2″
After cutting, add the designer series paper to the cardstock pieces using Stampin’ Seal. Attach the layered panels to the front of the matchbook.
Stamp the “A Little Something” from the Parcels and Petal Stamp Set using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. After stamping, use the 1-1/2″ circle punch to cut (position so that the sentiment is toward the bottom of the circle leaving room for the ribbon).
Finish by tying a small bow using the 2020-2022 In Colors 1/4″ ribbon. Add to the sentiment label using a Mini Glue Dot.
Don’t you love how simple it is to make these treat holders? One piece of 8-1/2 x 11″ cardstock will make four treat holders so you can create lots of treat holders quickly!
Personal note: I did a video showing how to make these treat holders and was all set to add it but alas, it’s sideways! After several hours of trying to edit and correct, I gave up – the technology gremlins won!!!

Have you taken note that I enjoy using the various products in the Flowers for Every Season Suite Collection? I just realized that my past few posts have incorporated items from the suite. So of course, today’s post is no different! I’m loving the versatility of the product suite. It provides the ability to combine the different elements to create a variety of cards. Today’s card uses the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Card Pack, as well as, a piece of the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper.
Here are some of the card details:
- The front of the card base is texture embossed using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. The floral print layer is from the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Card Pack. The 1-1/4″ strip is a piece of the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper. After stamping and cutting the sentiment layer, add a few sprigs of leaves from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Designer Series Paper to the label. Finally, complete by embellishing with a small bow.
The design is the from the weekly design challenge for the Playtime with Paper team. Each week, I select a design or color challenge for the team to use. Below is this week’s challenge from the Sunday Stamps Blog.
In addition to my take on the design, I am including a card created by Playtime with Paper team member, Linda Edwards of Crafty Heron Designs. Linda’s card features the Forever Greenery Suite Collection. Isn’t her card stunning?

While waiting for delivery of my new product order, I continue to create cards using the items from my preorder. One of the suites demonstrators could order early is the Flowers for Every Season Suite. The suite is full of products that coordinate. For today’s Celebrate with Sunflowers card, the Flowers for Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper provides a beautiful floral base for the sentiment. With the colorful designs in the paper, it makes it easy to create beautiful cards. The designer series paper design incorporates the new 2020-2022 In Colors, so I used the coordinating cardstock for the card. The sentiment and leaf embellishments are in the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle which is also part of the Flowers for Every Season Suite.
Card Details:
- Card base: Cut Cinnamon Cider cardstock 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score at 4-1/4″ and fold.
- First Layer: Bumblebee cardstock cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″. Attach to the Cinnamon Cider cardstock card base.
- Cut the sunflower print from the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series paper to 5″ x 3-3/4″. Adhere to the Bumblebee cardstock layer.
- Stamp the sentiment from the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set on the center of a 1-1/2″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Cut using the Stitched Rectangles Dies.
- Using the Sunflowers Dies, cut 2 of the large leaves and the coordinating leaf veins from Just Jade cardstock. Assemble the leaves by adding the veins to the coordinating leaf. TIP: Use the Adhesive Sheets for the leaf veins. This makes it easy to attach to the coordinating leaf base.
- Add the leaves to the back of the sentiment label with adhesive and then attach the label to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Tie a small bow using the Bumblebee In Color 1/4″ Ribbon and add to the side of the sentiment label.
- Embellish the label using the Cinnamon Cider Enamel Dots from the 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots collection.
Under the Project Materials section, you’ll find links to the products used for this card. You can purchase the entire Flowers for Every Season Suite or just the individual components that you prefer.
