Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers bundle is a pretty floral bundle with bold sentiments. The Sale-A-Bration Favored Flowers designer series paper coordinates perfectly with the bundle and some of the designs can even be cut out with the dies. I used them both for my card today, but instead of the beautiful bold sentiments, I used the Simply Succulent stamp set and coordinating Potted Succulent dies for my sentiments. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the big floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I colored the flowers with Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends and the leaves with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends and cut it out with the coordinating die. The coloring process was a little tedious, but I love the way it came out – it coordinates beautifully with the flowers in the DSP. I just took my time coloring it one petal at a time focusing on coloring the flower’s detail lines.

I adhered a panel of geometric Favored Flowers designer series paper to a Basic Black mat and then adhered it to a floral DSP panel with liquid glue. I adhered it all to a Basic Black mat and then adhered it to the front of a Petal Pink card base with liquid glue. I cut two large and one small leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers dies from Mossy Meadow and adhered them to the card with dots of liquid glue. I popped the stamped and die cut flowers on top with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Succulents cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on Mossy Meadow and cut it out with the label die from the Potted Succulents dies (these label dies are so pretty!). I folded a length of Petal Pink ribbon and adhered it to the card front with glue dots and adhered the label on top with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished the card front with pastel iridescent gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Petal Pink in the corners of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Succulents stamp set (Isn’t this the best sentiment?) in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Favored Flowers DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers stamp set comes in both cling and photopolymer versions, so you can choose the version that you prefer (you can also get either version with the bundle). The Simply Succulents sentiments aren’t as bold as the ones in the new bundle, but I love these sentiments and they fit better on this card design without covering the pretty flowers too much. And for today I even took the time to make a decorated envelope by stamping the flower in Petal Pink and adhering a strip of DSP to the back flap. The pink and black is so pretty and so dramatic and you can choose it as a free item with a $50 order (before shipping and taxes) during Sale-A-Bration.
