Flowers in Bloom

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is “Flowers in Bloom.” The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the Pals’ blogs are at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!

I made this pretty Floral Impressions fun-fold card for my friend’s birthday. It is really “Flowers in Bloom” with all the different wildflowers in the paper! This is one of my absolute favorites from the latest release of Designer Series Papers.

Here’s my Flowers in Bloom fun fold card:

I’m not sure if this fold has a name. I got the idea from Emma Goddard of the UK. Here’s another angle to show you all of the cuts and folds:

Materials & Measurements:

• Basic White Cardstock base, 8″x 5-1/2″
  • In landscape position, score at 2″ and 6″.
  • Turn to portrait position and cut between score lines 1″ in, left and right.
  • Turn back to landscape and score at 4″ above and below cut lines.
  • Finally, score at 3″ and 5″ in the center part between the cut lines.
• Basic White, 3-1/4″x 1-3/4″, cropped with Textured Notes Die
  • Adhere to center of card with Dimensionals.
• Floral Impressions DSP, (2) 5-3/8″x 1-7/8″, (4) 7/8″x 1-7/8″
• Stamp and crop florals and leaves from the Impressions Abloom Bundle to decorate the front. Add some Gold Foil leaves.
• Stamp Happy Birthday from Beautiful Butterflies on Basic White and crop with Textured Notes Die. Glue to the front.
• Add a few Iridescent Foil Gems.

The card stands up nicely for display. Your handwritten message can go on the back. And in case you’re wondering, it does fold up nicely to fit in a Medium Envelope! If you’d like to see another card I made using Floral Impressions, click HERE.

We have more inspiration to share, so use the lineup below to visit each team member’s page for fresh ideas, unique styles, and endless inspiration. And get ready—next month, we’re designing with the “New In Colors” to showcase how beautiful and versatile they are for your projects.
