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.

Yesterday, the monthly card class met via ZOOM. Even though it’s virtual, it is fun to be able to continue creating together with others. One of the cards from the class features products from the Gilded Autumn Suite Collection. I’ve titled the card “Falling Leaves & Acorns” since the title describes the design of the page of paper for the background layer. Perfect for creating fall themed cards is the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. It’s a beautiful paper collection. The Beautiful Autumn Bundle from the suite includes the Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set and the coordinating Autumn Punch Pack. Woohoo – the punch pack coordinates with the leaves and acorns in the specialty designer series paper. Y’all know I love it when a punch or die coordinates with the designer series paper!
Card Materials and Details:
• Cajun Craze cardstock: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and folded at 4-1/4″ to create the card base.
• Mint Macaron cardstock: 5-1/4” x 4” for Layer 1; strip for embossing 3-3/4” x 1-1/4”
• Layer 2: Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper and pieces for punching leaves & acorn
• Very Vanilla cardstock: 1” x 3 1/4” for label; 5” x 4-1/4” for interior
• Punches: Autumn Punch Pack & Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
For the sentiment use the Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set and Cajun Craze Classic Stampin’ Pad. Use the Greenery Embossing Folder to texture emboss the 3-3/4″ x 1-1/4″ Mint Macaron strip. Cut 3 equal pieces of Linen Thread and tie into a small bow to embellish the sentiment label.
NOTE: The next ZOOM card class is September 21, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. EST. Drop me an email if you’d like to attend and I’ll send you the details.
A list of the Project Materials is at the bottom of this post. You can place your order by clicking on the products you wish to purchase.

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

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.
