by | Jun 27, 2025 | card samples, die cutting, new catalog, stamps ink paper, techniques

Today’s card features the new Extraordinary Flora Bundle from pages 84-85 in the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. One main stamped image stamps 16 different flora images in one go and then a large coordinating die cuts them all out at once with a single run through of the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine! BRILLIANT!

Measurements:
BASE: Strawberry Slush CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, 3 1/2″ x 5″ for die cutting
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″ , 3″ x 4″ for die cut,
4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ for stamping and die cutting

Stamp the large flora images in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on the 1/4 sheet of cardstock (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″)
Color the images with Stampin’ Blends: I used Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, DArling Duckling, Lemon Lime Twist and Soft Sea Foam.
This die cuts all of the flora images at once!
Emboss the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer with the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder.

Adhere to the Strawberry Slush card base.

Die cut the 3 1/2″ x 5″ piece of Strawberry Slush card stock and die cut with the second largest Textured Notes dies.

Wrap the Strawberry Slush ribbon around the die cut cardstock and tie a knot.

Pop up this layer on Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere to the middle of the embossed layer.

Take the small Basic White layer and die cut with the Everyday Arches die set and stamp in Strawberry Slush ink the With Love sentiment and the lines on the arched die cut.
Pop up this die with Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere over the ribbon.
Arrange the floral dies around the arched die cut and when satisfied adhere down to the card. I tucked some under the arched die, adhered some directly on to it and then popped up one as well -this creates extra depth and dimension having the flowers at differing levels!
I added three Strawberry Slush 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls around the sentiment to finish off the card with a sparkly coordinated embellishment!

This is a fun bundle – try this soon! If you have a set with tiny images try arranging them around a die cut in various layers and levels to create some visual interest! No go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

I love creating my own background paper and this is one of the easiest ways to do it!
I created a mask using the Stylish Shapes die set, I die cut three concentric circle dies into a
4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Basic White card stock to create a blending brushed background perfect to showcase the new Simple Birthday stamp!
This is a great way to showcase color combinations of your choice and for this week’s More Color Mondays color challenge we are featuring the some of the new 2025-2027 In Colors: Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger and Secret Sea!

Measurements:
BASE: Strawberry Slush CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Timid Tiger CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Secret Sea CS: 3 1/2″ x 5″
Basic White CS: scrap for large rectangular die
from the Textured Notes die set
(3) 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ for masking

Cut three concentric circle dies from the Stylish Shapes die set on 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ sheets of cardstock for masking with Blending Brushes in each of the More Color Mondays color selection for this week.
Using one of the masks color the three circles on the Basic White 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ Basic White layer in Strawberry Slush with a Blending Brush. I drag the Blending Brush through the ink pad and then starting off the paper I begin in a circular motion to color the inside of the die cut circles onto the Basic White layer.
Continue with the next clean mask so you don’t muddy the colors and the Blending Brushes.
Move the masks so that the circles are overlapping and in differing positions.
Do all three colors covering the the Basic White layer to your liking!
Take the Timid Tiger layer and emboss in the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder.
Die cut the blending brush colored Basic White layer in the Textured Notes rectangular die – I used the second largest die for this card!
I used my Stamparatus for this card which is no longer available but there are other similar stamp positioners on the market – they are great for larger format stamps like the Simple Birthday stamp.
I inked up the stamp in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and stamped it onto the Blending Brush colored die.
Adhere the Timid Tiger embossed layer to the Strawberry Slush card base and then adhere the Secret Sea layer on a tilt.
Adhere the Happy Birthday stamped layer onto the Secret Sea matte layer.
Add three 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls to finish off the card with easy coordinated style!

Try this masking technique when you get a chance with dies you own and see what you can create – one stamp at a time!

at 2 1/8″ and 4 1/4″.
Emboss the two 1 7/8″ x 5 1/4″ layers of Basic White cardstock with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder and adhere to the first two panels of the card base.
Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer of DSP from the Florals in Bloom Suite of products set to debut with the New 2025-2026 Annual Catalog tomorrow!
Score the 3″ x 3 3/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 2 1/2″, 3″.

Adhere the first and fifth panel together to form a rectangular box.

Lay the flattened box in the middle of the DSP layer just to the right of the score line. Flatten the box with the edge toward the inside 4 1/4″ fold of the card. Adhere the inside panel just a sliver away from the score line and close the card front and rub so the box adheres to the second panel.
Open the card and place Stampin’ Seal + or Tear-n-Tape on the inside panel of the box next to the DSP. Close the card and rub on the back of the card to adhere the box to the DSP layer of the card.
Die cut the Strawbarry Slush layer with the second largest Textured Notes dies.

Stamp “where you’re planted” sentiment in Strawberry Slush ink onto a Basic White 1/2″ strip and cut the words apart. Adhere in the center of the die cut layer.

Place adhesive on the top panel of the box and center the Strawberry Slush die layer over the box and adhere to it.
Die cut the Timid Tiger layer with the 3rd largest die from the Textured Notes die set and the Darling Duckling layer with the fourth largest die.
Adhere the Darling Duckling die over the Timid Tiger layer.

Die cut flowers from the Pretty Florals Bundle in the three In Colors.

Adhere the detailed Darling Duckling flower center to the large Timid Tiger flower die and adhere to the right hand corner of the die rectangles.

Stamp the “bloom” sentiment in Strawberry Slush ink and die cut. Adhere to the top of the rectangle dies on an angle.

Stamp the smaller flowers in Strawberry Slush ink – this is a two step stamping image – so stamp the base image on your grid paper and then stamp the flower “stamped off” image on your cardstock. Stamp the detailed smaller flower over the base in full strength and die cut them out. I stamped three flowers at full strength for some variation.
Arrange them around the Timid Tiger die cut and pop some up on Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add a Darling Duckling bloom with Timid Tiger edge tucked under the Timid Tiger die cut.
Add two of the medium blooms on the inside Strawberry Slush layer.

This is what the Double Decker Pop Up fun fold looks like in a standing position!

I added some small and medium Darling Duckling 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls to the smaller flower centers and Strawberry Slush Pearls around the Bloom sentiment!
I added a large Darling Duckling Pearl to the right hand corner of the Strawberry Slush Double Decker layer to finish this lovely Springtime card!

Try this fun fold with your stash and see what you can create – one stamp at a time!
