First up is the stamp set, Bloom & Grow. If you love flowers, you’re going to love this set (plus it includes some great sentiments)! All of the images are perfect for coloring and then you can cut them out using the coordinating Budding Bloom Dies. These two products are also bundled together so if you want to purchase both, be sure to use the bundle item number so you’ll save 10%!
To color the flowers, I stamped the flower image onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink. Then I used both the Light & Dark Purple Posy AND Light & Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to color the flowers and leaves. You always want to use Memento Ink when using our Stampin’ Blends or you’ll find the ink will bleed.
Once I cut the image out with the Budding Blooms Dies, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached it to the front of the card.
Each year Stampin’ Up! introduces five new colors that are available for two years. I used one of these new colors, Purple Posy on my card today! Sometimes when photographing my cards, some of the colors appear darker than they actually are. The color swatch below of Purple Posy is a better indication of the true color.
Cut a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock that measures 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. Score at 4-1/4″ and fold in half. This will be your card base.
Cut a piece of Purple Posy cardstock that measures 5-1/4″ x 4″ and attach to the base of the card.
Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock that measures 5″ x 3-3/4″. Run it through a die-cutting machine using the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder. Attach to the front of the card.
Stamp the flowers from the stamp set, Bloom & Grow, onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink. Color it using Purple Posy & Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. Cut it out using the Budding Blooms Dies. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attach to the front of the card.
Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock that measures 3-1/2″ x 7/8″. Stamp the sentiment using Memento Ink.
Cut a piece of Purple Posy cardstock that measures 1-1/8″ x 3-3/4″. Attach the sentiment to the front using Snail adhesive. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attach to the front of the card.

It’s Tuesday so that means I have another FREE tutorial for you using Stampin’ Up! products! Today’s tutorial is for the fun fold card pictured below. If you missed the original post, you can see it here.
If you love purchasing Stampin’ Up! products and usually spend at least $99 in a single purchase, you might want to consider getting the Starter Kit. You’ll receive $125 in Stampin’ Up! products for $99 and you can choose exactly which products you’d like in your kit. After you purchase the Starter Kit, you’ll start getting a 20% discount on all your future purchases!
If I purchase the Starter Kit, do I have to sell Stampin’ Up! products to my family and friends? No, you are under NO obligation to sell. You can be your only customer. Of course once your friends see the cute cards you’re making, they’ll want to buy their stamping supplies from you.
Will I receive a discount on any products I buy? Yes!! This is the best part! You’ll receive at least a 20% discount on all your purchases.
Do I have to buy/sell a certain amount of product? The quarterly minimum is $300 in product (which is only $240 after your discount!) that can be from your own orders, online orders or ones from family and friends. The quarters are January – March, April – June, July – September, October – December. Once you join, your quarterly minimum begins during your first FULL quarter so if you were to join today (end of June), you’d have until the end of September before your quarterly minimum is due.
What if I can’t make the quarterly minimum? You’ll simply be dropped. No one will hassle you. No one will bother you. It truly is risk free to purchase the Starter Kit!

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.

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.
