Good Morning! Today’s card is is inspired from the cards found on p45 of the new Annual Catalog using the new Stampin’ Up! Sweet Blooms bundle. I turned it into a Fun Fold card where the inside uses the pretty Florals In Bloom designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I stamped the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Blooms stamp set using Secret Sea ink along the sides of the Secret Sea card base panel. It’s hard to see from the pictures, but it gives the card stock background a little texture. I scored and burnished the 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ panel of Florals in Bloom designer series paper at 3-1/4″ and 6-1/2″ and adhered the 1″ section down with liquid glue. Then I adhered the DSP card base to the stamped card stock panel with liquid glue.

I applied adhesive sheets to the back of Blackberry Bliss and cut out the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Blooms detailed lovely die and cut out the coordinating background die from Basic White. I peeled the adhesive sheet backing and adhered the two die cuts together and adhered it to the card with glue dots, being careful not to go past the left DSP fold.

I stamped the hello from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Blooms stamp set in Petunia Pop ink on Basic White and adhered it to a Blackberry Bliss mat before popping it on the card with dimensionals. I finished with Blackberry Bliss dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaf & stems from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Blooms stamp set using Garden Green ink on Basic White. I used three times stamped off Secret Sea for the flowers – with this combo, I found it easier to stamp the stems first. I used the Cloud Cover and Secret Sea Stampin’ Write markers to add flicks to the flowers to add some depth. I planned an even border, but I cut it 4-3/4″ instead of 5-1/4″, so it’s a little short, but I think it looks pretty good, so I left it. I love that you can see DSP on the inside of the front flap!

This picture is the best for seeing the tone on tone leaf sprig stamping on the card stock. I love card designs where you can see both sides of pretty designer series paper and the Florals in Bloom paper is so pretty! And the sentiments and dies in the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Blooms bundle are great and so easy to use. I hope you are loving the items in the new Annual Catalog as much as I am!
