Stampin’ Up! catalogs are filled with cardmaking ideas! The inspiration for today’s card came right from the catalog on page 131.
I used the Bloom & Grow Bundle which includes the Bloom & Grow stamp set and the Budding Blooms dies. Did you happen to notice the scalloped edge above & below the sentiment? That was done using the two top dies in the picture below. I love that I can do both edges at the same time!
Directions for Today’s Card
All the products I used are in the Supply List below. Simply click any of the images and you’ll be directed to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
- Cut a piece of Pool Party cardstock that measures 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Score at 4-1/4″ and fold in half.
- Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock that measures 5-1/4″ x 4″. Place inside the Tufted Embossing Folder and run through a die-cutting machine. Adhere to the front of the card using Snail.
- Stamp (2) flower images from the stamp set Bloom & Grow onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink. Color both images using Stampin’ Blends: Light & Dark Pool Party and Light & Dark Granny Apple Green. Cut both out using the Budding Blooms Dies.
- Stamp the sentiment onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink. Place the two scalloped dies above and below the sentiment and run through your die-cutting machine. Snip off at the ends. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.
- Using Snail, adhere both sets of flowers to the front of the card. Attach the sentiment between them.

Online Card Class (previously known as Card Kit Extravaganza)
Do you love creating cards but struggle with ideas? Does being able to sit down and create when it fits into your busy schedule sound appealing? Then my monthly online card class is for you! This month I designed three cards using See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper and the Daisy Lane stamp set. When you place an order at my Stampin’ Up! online store AND use my special host code (XAZ4CZ3M), you’ll receive all the paper and embellishments needed to create six cards, two of each design. My July Online Card Class is only available for a limited time!
Here’s how you can earn my FREE July Online Card Class:
- Place a minimum $50 order (before tax/shipping) at my Stampin’ Up! online store. For every $50 you spend, you’ll also earn Bonus Coupons directly from Stampin’ Up!
- Use my special July Online Card Class Host Code when placing your order.
- Place your order on or before Wednesday July 10, 2019.
- If your order reaches $150 or more, please do not use the host code so you can receive Stampin’ Rewards (free product directly from Stampin’ Up!). After I receive your order, I will contact you via email to verify that you’d like the Online Card Class.
Here’s What You’ll Receive:
- All the paper and embellishments needed to make 6 cards (2 each of three designs). The paper will be scored, embossed, punched and die cut for you! You’ll need to supply** your own adhesive, ink and stamp set (per Stampin’ Up! I cannot send stamped images). Envelopes will also be provided for each card.
- A FREE video that will explain how to make each card along with some tips and tricks.
- A FREE PDF Tutorial with instructions, pictures, cutting measurements and a complete supply list of all the products used. Keep the instructions in a binder so you can refer to them over and over again!
All the Other Important Stuff
- Your kits will ship first-class mail no later than Friday, July 19th and will be mailed to the address used on your online order.
- On Friday, July 19th, you’ll receive an email from me that will include your PDF Tutorial and the link for the video.
- When using the July Online Card Class Host Code to place your order, you will not qualify for my regular Customer Rewards Card Kits.
- Per Stampin’ Up! policy, kits can only be mailed within the United States.
The special July Online Card Class HOST CODE will close on July 10th and after that date, the class will no longer be available!
Expected ship date of the kits is July 19, 2019.
After the deadline of July 10th, I will order all of the product I need to make the kits. It will take me about one week to order, cut, assemble and ship the kits.

Supplies You’ll Need
Listed below are the supplies, not included in your kit, that you’ll need to complete the cards (or you can substitute any of these products with what you already own). Click any of the products below and you’ll be taken to my online store. When placing your order, don’t forget to use the special July Online Card Class Host Code to receive your free card kit, PDF tutorial, and video link.
Please note: ** Two of the cards this month require the Medium Daisy Punch and the Daisy Punch. For one of the cards, I will punch the daisies out of Designer Series Paper & Vellum for you. The daisy on the other card needs to be stamped using the Daisy Lane stamp set. It is much easier to stamp first and then punch but I’m unable to send stamped images to you per Stampin’ Up! guidelines. Therefore, I will punch the daisies out of Whisper White cardstock and include them in your kits so you can complete the cards. I will also supply a piece of Whisper White paper so you can stamp the daisies first and then punch them out yourself in case you already have these punches and stamp set or purchase them as part of your order.
Bundle Alert: You can purchase the Daisy Lane stamp set and the Medium Daisy punch separately but when you purchase the Daisy Lane Bundle which includes both of these products, you’ll save 10%! I’ve included the Bundle in the Supply List below.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
Bonus Days are here for the month of July!! For every $50 purchase (before tax/shipping) you make at my Stampin’ Up! online store, you’ll receive a Bonus Days Coupon.

Commonly Asked Questions
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!

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.
