Mediterranean Blooms Thinking of You Floral Card

Mediterranean Blooms Thinking of You Floral Card

I just had to go back to the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper to make another card! I discovered that if you get tired of the fruit and the tile, you can make this Mediterranean Blooms Thinking of You Floral Card! There are two whole sheets of these yellow flowers! Are they daffodils or just some kind of yellow flower? What do you think? It’s an easy card to make, perfect for beginners or just any time you want a quick and simple design to make.

The card base is Garden Green Cardstock with a layer of Daffodil Delight Cardstock to help the yellow flowers stand out more. The floral designer series paper is cut at 5″ x 3 3/4″. Before adhering to the card, I wrapped around a piece of ribbon. This ribbon color is Lemon Lolly and was part of a combo. It is retired but I kept it out to use since I hadn’t used it very much. I think it looks so pretty on this card even if it isn’t an exact match to the Daffodil Delight.

The greeting is in the Friends For Life Stamp Set. This is a great set to own for the greetings along with the dies if you want to get the Friends For Life Bundle. If you order the Bundle, beginning June 5th, you will save 10% during the Stampin’ Up! Sale! Choose all the Bundles you like during the month of June and get 10% off the regular Bundle price of 10% off!

The greeting is stamped with Garden Green ink on Basic White Cardstock. It is diecut with a scalloped oval die in the Unbounded Love Dies. I popped it up over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The embellishments I added are the Opal Rounds which come in three colors – Daffodil Delight, Clear, and Night of Navy. They come in the Mediterranean Suite Collection. Right now, as I write this, these Opal Rounds are out of stock, but expected to be available the week of July 1st. That makes the Suite unavailable since they are one part of it but you can order the items you want separately.

I hope you enjoy this easy to make card! Be sure to check out all the Stampin’ Up! Bundles in case you want to order one or more and save during the Bundle Sale which begins June 5th. The Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Mini Machine will also be 10% off during this sale if you need a diecutting machine! I use mine nearly everyday!

Peaceful Poppies Thinking of You Card

Peaceful Poppies Thinking of You Card

Wouldn’t someone you know just love to receive this Peaceful Poppies Thinking of You Card? I think these two patterns of paper in the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper really make for a springy, happy card! The bright, colorful flowers and the light polka dot tulle ribbon just really catch my eye!

The card base is Poppy Parade, which is one of the many coordinating colors for the Peaceful Poppies DSP. I cut the two pieces of DSP to fit how I wanted them, overlapping about half an inch. Just to cover up the seam, I added a half-inch piece of Old Olive Cardstock across the card.

Before you adhere this designer paper piece to the card base, be sure to wrap the ribbon around the Old Olive strip first! I just love this Whisper White 5/8″ Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon in the Annual Catalog! Just wrap it around and then make a separate bow. Adhere the bow with a couple of Mini Glue Dots. The greeting is stamped from Magnolia Blooms. I really liked the font and thought it would go with the flowers. I punched it out first with the 1 1/2″ Circle Punch, not yet knowing exactly what I would layer it on, but opted to go with the scalloped circle in Layering Circles Dies. Since I stamped the greeting in Poppy Parade Ink I layered it on a piece of Poppy Parade Cardstock. Then it is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals over the ribbon.

The Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper has handpainted blooms and watercolor washes. Each paper is beautiful and I think you’ll want to have that package in your collection!
