Today I want to share a video from Stampin’ Up! showing how to make beautiful paper flowers using the brand new Hot Air Balloon Punch and the Good Morning Magnolia Bundlewhich includes the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and Magnolia Memories Dies. Before watching the video, when looking at the hot air ballon punch all I saw was a hot air balloon but now I see petals! Don’t you love it when you can use a product in a way you hadn’t thought of?
Below the video you’ll find a list of the supplies used. Enjoy!

Today’s fun fold card features a brand new punch, a new stamp set and a coordinating punch that carried over into the new Annual Catalog. We now have two daisy punches! The brand new one is the Medium Daisy Punch and the Daisy Punch carried over from last year.
For the base of the card I used a brand new In Color, Seaside Spray, a new embossing folder called Eyelet Lace, new 6″ x 6″ In Color 2019-2012 Designer Series Paper and the new stamp set, Daisy Lane It’s so fun playing with new products!
Directions to Make Today’s Card
Cut a piece of Seaside Spray cardstock that measures 4-1/4″ x 9-1/2″ and score at 5-1/2″.
Cut a piece of In Color 2019-2021 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper that measures 4″ x 3-3/4″. Adhere it to the top part of the card base.
Cut a piece of Seaside Spray cardstock that measures 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″. Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock that measures 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″. Run it through a die-cutting machine using the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder. Attach it to the piece of Seaside Spray. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attach to the front of the card.
Using the Daisy punch and the stamp set, Daisy Lane, stamp two daisies on Whisper White cardstock using Seaside Spray ink. Stamp another smaller daisy, also from Daisy Lane and punch it out using the new Medium Daisy punch. Layer all three daisies using Stampin’ Dimensionals (I used Mini Dimensionals for the small daisy). Add a Stampin’ Dimensional to the back and attach to the front of the card.
Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock that measures 5-1/4″ x 4″. Glue it to the inside of the card. Using the Daisy Lane stamp set, stamp “Friend” in Seaside Spray ink.

Yesterday I shared a card using Garden Lane Designer Series Paper and today I have another card using this paper. If you missed yesterday’s card, you can see it here.
I actually made this card, minus the sentiment, before I created yesterday’s card. I went back and forth trying to decide how to do the sentiment, couldn’t make up my mind and it eventually sat unfinished on my craft table. I did finally go back to it and I made several versions that I’m sharing with you today.
The first card at the beginning of today’s post has the sentiment on a Mossy Meadow oval.
This one has the sentiment on a Pool Party oval.
This one doesn’t have a layer for the sentiment to sit on at all.
This final one has a little bling on it using our new Noble Peacock Rhinestones, which are gorgeous in person!
So what do you think? Which one do you prefer? I’m leaning towards one but I’d love to know which one is your favorite!
All of the supplies I used for all four cards can be found in the supply list below.

Today’s card was created using Garden Lane Designer Series Paper. It’s part of the Garden Lane Suite which also includes the stamp set Verdant Garden which I also used on my card today.
I don’t normally use more than one stamp set but for this card I did. The sentiment is from the stamp set, To a Wild Rose, shown below. Look carefully and you might notice something that will make you shudder. I cut the stamp, “To Be Your Friend”. I realized that I would get more out of the stamp set if “friend” was by itself, so I took my Paper Snips and cut it! It IS a little scary but oh so worth it if you’ll use a particular stamp more often.
I used the stamp set Verdant Garden for the pretty little rose. I thought it would make a nice little touch especially with the pop of color. I used Watercolor Pencils to color it in and then smoothed it out with the Blender Pen. Sometimes when you color with pencils, you can see streaks of color and a Blender Pen completely solves that problem! I hand cut the rose which was pretty easy to do.
Directions to Create Today’s Card
Cut a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock that measures 11″ x 4-1/4″. Score at 5-1/2″ and fold in half.
Cut a piece of Garden Lane Designer Series Paper that measures 5-1/4″ x 4″, Adhere to the front of the card.
Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock that measures 3-3/4″ x 3-1/2″. Cut a piece of Garden Lane Designer Series Paper that measures 3-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ and then attach it to the piece of Whisper White. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attach to the front of the card.
On a piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the sentiment using Mossy Meadow ink and the stamp set, To a Wild Rose. Cut it out using the Stitched Shapes Dies and a die-cutting machine. Cut another larger circle in Pool Party cardstock using the Layering Circles Dies. You’ll need to make one more circle in Mossy Meadow using the Stitched Shapes Dies. Layer all the pieces together using Snail. Turn it over and add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side and down the center. Turn it back over and attach to the card.
Stamp the rose from the stamp set, Verdant Garden, in Memento Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. Color it using Flirty Flamingo and Old Olive Watercolor Pencils. Use a Blender Pen to blend and smooth out the colors, if desired. Add Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attach to the sentiment.

It’s Tuesday and normally you’d find a free tutorial here but last Friday as I was trying to work ahead and prepare today’s post, I accidentally hit publish instead of save. You should have seen me talking (yelling) at my computer – nooooooo! Once you send a post off, no amount of yelling will make it come back! Ha, ha!! As I’m writing this, I have a big post-it-note on my computer screen so I won’t accidentally click publish! Never a dull moment!
If you missed the tutorial I posted on Friday, you can access it here! The tutorial is for the card pictured below.
Today I have a great video for you from Stampin’ Up! As you know, the Big Shot has retired and Stampin’ Up! is now using a new supplier for their dies and embossing folders. Unfortunately some of the embossing folders in the catalog are not yet available because we’re waiting for them to arrive in the Stampin’ Up! warehouse. I’ll post when all of our embossing folders are available for purchase. Thank you for your patience!!!
Our new dies and embossing folders are made differently and need to be used a little differently than we’re used to. In fact, a brand new product called the 3D Embossing Folder Plate was just released last week to help with using our 3D embossing folders. You can’t find this product in our new catalog but if you click here, you can see it at my Stampin’ Up! online store.
The video below will explain how our dies are different than our previous dies and how to use the embossing folders. I highly recommend you watch it so you’ll achieve the best results from your dies and embossing folders! George will also show you how to use the 3D Embossing Folder Plate.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
