I fell in love with the Year of Flowers Bundle when it came out in March as an Online Exclusive. Everything about it is perfect! This fun fold really shows off the elements of this bundle since I used several flowers and the dies. I love how fresh and springtime the Daffodil Delight pairs with everything. I hope you enjoy this fold and it gives you many great cards! Make sure to scroll to the end and see my other adorable samples. You have to try this one!
Sometimes I see a stamp bundle that just screams out to me. This Online Exclusive did just that. I enjoy nature and, of course, flowers and these flowers are unique. There’s one for every single month of the year. How cool is that! I have so many ideas for using these…think calendars, bookmarks, cards, little tags. I want to make a bunch of card fronts with several consecutive month’s flowers stamped in Basic Black and then only color in the flower for that birthday month. You could make up a bunch of these staggering the months you add to the front and then only color that month’s flower in when it’s time to send the birthday card. Maybe this needs to be a short video or reel…hmmmm.
I digress. Let’s get to how to make this card. I used Basic White and Daffodil Delight Cardstock for this card. I paired some Beautiful Bokeh DSP in the same Daffodil Delight shade as well. I used the new Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder to add some texture to the front layer. The dies that come with this bundle are fabulous. I used Granny Apple Green to cut out the greenery that I layered on the Daffodil Delight tags. I stamped the flowers in Memento Ink and colored them with my Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. Also, I colored in the flowers with some Clear Wink of Stella because I love the shimmer!! I stamped one of the sweet sentiments inside and added one more flower, which I also colored in. And see, I stamped the April flower since this is for a loved one with an April birthday. I love that special detail.
Here are the cutting and scoring measurements for this card. Remember, you can add layers by reducing the measurements by 1/8″. This is very versatile!
BASE: (Basic White) 5 1/2″x8″, score at 1 1/2″, 2 3/4″, 5 1/4″ and 6 1/2″
BACK BASE: (Daffodil Delight) 5 1/2″x4 1/4″
FRONT: (Basic White) 3 1/2″x5 1/2″; (Daffodil Delight) 3 1/4″x5 1/4″; (Basic White Embossed) 3 1/8″x5 1/8″
INSIDE: (Daffodil) 2 1/4″x5 1/4″; (Basic White) 2 1/8″x5 1/8″
STRIPS: (Basic White) 3/4″x5 1/4″ (x2); (Beautiful Bokeh DSP) 5/8″x 5 1/8″(x2);
(DSP) 1 1/4″x 5 1/4″; (DSP) 1″x5 1/4″ (x2)
Ready for more?? Of course you are!
I used Crumb Cake and Early Espresso Cardstock for this card. I paired it with Nests of Winter DSP. I’m happy to say that the Nests of Winter DSP has carried over to the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog that comes out in a couple weeks. Double Yay!! I love trees and birds so this is one of my faves. I used Labeled with Love Bundle for the Greeting and Sentiment. I stamped in Early Espresso and then stamped again in Versamark so I could emboss the words in Clear Embossing Powder. I love how pretty this looks. It’s shiny and bold. I finished off the card with some retired natural ribbon and embellishments. This works great for a masculine birthday card.
Stop the cuteness!! Or don’t. I love this card so much and plan to make so many of these! This is another fabulous Online Exclusive Bundle. The Peekaboo Forest Bundle is so much fun. The tree can be built as high as you want with extra holes for more cute critters to hang out in. I borrowed the greenery dies from the Year of Flowers Bundle (the same ones from the first set of cards above). I love how when die cut their little paws hang over the edges of the tree. I paired this bundle with the Pattern of Friendship stamp set…another Online Exclusive. The playfulness of all the sentiments are perfect. I used Pecan Pie and Granny Apple Green cardstock to create this. As you can see, I didn’t use any DSP. Instead I used the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the entire Pecan Pie cardstock piece after I cut and scored it. The critters are fun to color, especially with Stampin’ Blends. The hardest thing about this card is deciding who to send it to!!
This has been such a fun set of cards to make. I’ll definitely be making several more before I clean up my messy space from all the fun I’ve been having. I hope you get a chance to try this one out ASAP!
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
