Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers cling stamp set and the coordinating Sunflower dies have been a favorite for years, but they’re both on the retiring list. So I had to pull out this beautiful set to say good bye. I used an old design and updated it with the pretty Regency Park 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my FB Live video on my Facebook page HERE. I also posted the video to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I adhered a panel of Regency Park 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a thick Basic White card base with liquid glue. I embossed a panel of Petal Pink with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Night of Navy mat before adhering it to the card front with liquid glue.

I cut a panel of Regency Park 6″ x 6″ DSP with the solid large sunflower from the Sunflower dies and I cut a panel of Sweet Sorbet with the large detailed sunflower. I cut the flower center die and the detailed sunflower from So Saffron and trimmed the petals off, leaving just the center. I adhered the So Saffron center to the Sweet Sorbet flower with liquid glue and adhered it to the DSP flower with dimensionals. I tucked the small flower center into the middle, adhering it with liquid glue.

I cut three solid leaves from Regency Park 6″ x 6″ DSP and applied adhesive sheet behind a strip of Shaded Spruce before cutting three detailed leaves. I adhered the leaves together and arranged the flower and leaves on the card, adhering them with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers cling stamp set in Night of Navy ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the small fancy rectangle from the Something Fancy dies and tucked the label under the flower. I adhered a Balmy Blue and white ribbon bow with a glue dot and finished with flower gems.

I left the inside of the card simple, just adhering a strip of Regency Park 6″ x 6″ DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stamping’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and Sunflower dies are wonderful with pretty sentiments, gorgeous sunflower stamps and fun dies. And the dies also cut out the stamped flowers! Hope you like today’s card!

New 2023-2024 Annual Catalog Coming Soon!

This Last Chance Products promotion will include two lists of Last Chance Products that will no longer be available once the catalog retires. There will be one for each catalog retiring. For these retiring catalogs, there will not be a Carryover List. You can find carryover products in the upcoming Annual Catalog.

A few things to know about the retiring lists and the Last Chance products:

• Items on the retiring list are only available while supplies last, so order soon to make sure that you are able to get the items that you are wanting!
• The 2021-2023 In Color items, ink pads, refills, Stampin’ Blends and cardstock are usually some of the first items to sell out (The Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends are already gone!!).
• There will be retiring colors as part of the Color Refresh, and these items will likely sell out early as well!
• Some of the items will have sale prices listed.  Those sale prices do not start until Tuesday April 4.
• The last day to order from these catalogs will be May 1, 2023.

Note that while some of the bundles are on the retiring list, the individual stamps and dies/punched may be carried over. Also, if one of the items in a retiring bundle is deeply discounted, the total price may be less than the bundled price, so pull out your calculators to double check.
