Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals bundle is a new bundle from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog that will be available next week on May 6, 2025. I used it with the pretty Florals In Bloom designer series paper to make a hello card with a pretty bouquet. You can find the currently available supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge this week and I used four of the colors:

I adhered a floral panel of Flowers In Bloom DSP to the front of a Summer Splash card base. I cut a Petunia Pop panel with the third largest Textured Notes rectangle die and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside with liquid glue. I popped it onto the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals stamp set on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating die. These are two-step stamping flowers and I used the same color for both stamps. I used Darling Duckling, Summer Splash and Petunia Pop inks where I stamped the outline first using full strength ink and stamped off before stamping the filler stamp. For the last flower, I used the new In Color Secret Sea, but stamped off the filler stamp three times before stamping. I cut four single stems from Garden Green card stock and adhered them to the back of the flowers.

I used the leaf cluster die from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals stamp set to cut two Granny Apple Green clusters and a Garden Green cluster. I adhered a Granny Apple Green Green cluster with glue dots and adhered the Secret Sea and Petunia Pop flowers on top. I adhered the Garden Green leaf cluster and the last Granny Apple Green leaf cluster with glue dots and finished with the Summer Splash and Darling Duckling flowers adhered with glue dots and dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set using Secret Sea ink on Summer Splash and cut it out with the second smallest Textured notes rectangle die using the two step method. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals and finished with new Secret Sea In Color dots.

For the inside of the card I stamped the single stem from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals stamp set using Garden Green ink on Basic White. I stamped the flower using Petunia Pop like the flowers on the card front and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals bundle is really pretty and makes so many different flowers. And the Florals In bloom DSP even has some flowers that can be cut out with the dies. So there are so many creative options. Here’s the bundle:
