Citrus Blooms Hello Card

Today’s post features a hello greeting card using the Citrus Blooms Bundle and the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog from Stampin’ Up! This is one of the July card class projects from the “Flowers & Blooms” class. All cards contain flowers or flower blooms.

This card highlights the beautiful Mediterranean Blooms designer series paper.  The oranges and orange blossoms from the designer paper have a coordinating die.  I just love it when there’s a die to cut beautiful images!  

Notice the layering panel highlighting the citrus and blooms. A double cut using the Citrus Blooms die creates a smaller panel. The technique to create the top layering panel is shown in the assembly video.

Encircled in Nature Greeting Card

Hope you’re having a great day! We awoke to a cool morning which is unusual during June in this area of Georgia. Though it’s going to be warm, the humidity is low so definitely a day to enjoy the outdoors. But first, I am sharing a beautiful greeting card featuring the Encircled in Nature Bundle from Stampin’ Up! This bundle is an Online Exclusive product so you will not find it in the catalog. It is one of the four cards from last month’s card class featuring all Online Exclusive Bundles.

If you haven’t purchased the Encircled in Nature Bundle, this month is the time to place your order. From now through June 30, Stampin’ Up! is offering an additional 10% discount on all stamp and die bundles. Be sure to take advantage of the savings!

In July, I’ll be using the Encircled in Nature bundle for one of my Christmas in July projects. Be sure to mark your calendars to follow me on YouTube for holiday project ideas.

Simply Zinnia Fun Fold Card

Wow! Can you believe we’re approaching the end of May?  It’s been an interesting month here in Georgia as for the past month, we have been serenaded by the cicadas.  The 13 year and 17 year made a joint appearance.  In addition to their loud noise, it wasn’t unusual to have one or more fly into you when outdoors. Fortunately this week it has quieted, so it seems the mating ritual has ended in Georgia.  Were the cicadas present where you live?  Now onto details about today’s card…

Today’s project features products from the Flowering Zinnia Suite Collection which includes the Simply Zinnia Bundle.  The Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper and the 3D Zinnia Embossing Folder.  These products are Online Exclusives meaning the products are available to view in the online Stampin’ Up! store and not in a catalog.  For the May card classes (in person and kits to go classes), all Online Exclusive bundles were used. 

A fun fold card featuring the Simply Zinnia Bundle.

This fun fold card design is unique.  It looks like a regular card but when opened, there’s a side panel.  And of course, the side panel allows for more embellishing!
