Today’s card features one of the Online Exclusives suites that was introduced in May. I’ve been making lots of cards for my monthly classes, but it is always a challenge for me to keep up with posting! This card uses the Lovely Garden Suite. It has beautiful images and greetings and I love the DSP. I started off with one layout idea in my head and it ended up with a totally different one!
Basic White cardstock – cut one piece at 4 1/4″ x 11″ for card base; one piece at 4″ x 5 1/4″ for inside, one piece at 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″ for die cut piece; one piece at 4″ x 5 for stamping
Garden Green cardstock – cut one piece at 4 1/8″ x 5 1/4″, cut one piece at 2 7/8″ x 4 3/8″
Lovely Garden DSP – cut one piece at 4″ x 3 1/4″; cut a different piece at 2 1/4″
Here’s how I made the card.
Score Basic White card base at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Adhere the two different pieces of DSP to the larger piece of Garden Green cardstock.
Run the 3 1/4′ x 4 3/4″ of Basic White cardstock through a die cutting and embossing machine with the third from largest rectangle from the Textured Notes Dies. Adhere to smaller piece of Garden Green cardstock
Stamp the floral image with Memento Black Ink onto the 4″ x 5″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Tape piece down onto a piece of grid paper. Use the use the Thankful Garden masks to color the flower. Place first mask over the coordinating image and tape down. Use a blending brush to color the flower with Lemon Lolly ink. Repeat using Mask 2 and go heavier with the ink blending. For Mask 3, blend with Daffodil Delight ink. To color the leaves, go light when blending with Mask 4 and heavier with Mask 5. Mark the notch on the mask onto the grid paper so that you have easier placement for all of the masks. When coloring is completed, run through die cutting and embossing machine with coordinating die from the Thankful Garden dies.
Stamp greeting with Memento Black ink in right bottom corner of the die cut rectangle.
Adhere floral piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Cut a length of 1/8″ Daffodil Delight ribbon and tie a bow around DSP piece. (Note that this ribbon was part of the Floral Delight Suite and no longer available.) Adhere piece to card front
Adhere rectangle piece over the DSP card front. Embellish with Darling Duckling pearl from the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls embellishments. You can also use the Starburst Sequins that are part of the Lovely Garden Suite.

Here is another card that uses the Pretty Florals Bundle, which is part of the Florals in Bloom Suite in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. I CASED the catalog for this card, changing up the colors, papers and greetings.
Measurements

Florals in Bloom DSP – 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″

Arrange the Garden Green and Shy Shamrock flowers to the left side of the greeting piece. Arrange large flowers over the leaves. Once you like the arrangement, adhere all pieces with either liquid glue or Stampin’ Seal.
Stamp greeting with Petunia Pop ink on inside of card. Even though the card base is white, I always cut another piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″ for the inside. If I mess up, at least I can redo it without ruining the card base. I also like the more finished look it gives to the inside.
Embellish with a few of the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems. Please note that they are no longer available.
Thanks for stopping by today!
There is still time to take advantage of the Suite and Suite Products Sale, which runs through June 30th. Here are a few details about the sale.
Suites and suite products from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, Buy one, get one at 50% off. Online Exclusives and Last Chance Products are included. There is a total of 27 suites included in the sale. If you are a demonstrator you can also purchase the Online Exclusives available now for pre-order.
Suite collections are available if all items are in stock; if all items are not in stock, you can still shop the available suite products.
The discount will appear in your cart once you’ve added two items within the sale parameters to your cart. Watch the totals in your cart to make sure you are maximizing the benefits of the sale! Products are available only while supplies last.
When you shop the sale, the 50% off discount will apply to the lower-priced item (for example, if you buy a suite collection and a stamp set from a suite, the suite would be full price, and the stamp set would be 50% off). NOTE: You can purchase more than 1 suite for 50% off, but you would need to buy a full-price item for the discount. For example, if you add 4 suites to your order, 2 will be full price and 2 will be 50% off. If there are 3 suites in the order, 2 would be full price, and one will be 50% off.
Be strategic with your orders. To maximize the buy one, get one 50% off, you realize greater savings by ordering suites or bundles together, rather than ordering, for example, two suites and a set of embellishments. Because the 50% off comes off the lowest priced product, it would be the embellishments that would get the discount and not the second suite.
Today’s card uses products in the Beautiful Gallery Suite from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. This is a partial CASE from a card I saw on Pinterest, sorry I don’t remember the name of the person. I love how the Basic Beige cardstock gives the card a vintage look.
Measurements
Card base -Peach Pie cardstock cut at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
Basic Beige cardstock- cut one piece at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″, one piece at 4″ x 5 1/4″ for inside of card, one piece at 2 1/2″ x 4″ for die cut rectangle, one piece at 3 1/2″ x 5″ for stamping images
Old Olive cardstock – cut piece at 1″ x 5″
Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper – 2 1/2″ x 4″ – Some of the papers in this set are directional, so be careful when cutting!
Here is how I made the card.
Run the 4 1/8″x 5 3/8″ piece of Basic Beige cardstock through die cutting and embossing machine with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. Fold Peach Pie card base in half and adhere embossed piece to front of card. Adhere piece of DSP over the embossed piece.
Run the 2 1/2″ x 4″ piece of Basic Beige cardstock through die cutting and embossing machine with the 4th largest Textured Notes die. Adhere to center of card front.
Using the Gallery Blooms stamp set, on the piece of the 3 1/2″ x 5″ piece of Basic Beige cardstock, stamp one lacy flower with Peach Pie ink and one with Old Olive ink. Stamp the image that resembles a lilac with Memento Black ink and color with Fresh Freesia and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. Die cut coordinating Gallery Blooms Dies.
Adhere lacy flowers on rectangle piece.
Using the piece of Old Olive cardstock, die cut two different leaves. Adhere over the lacy flowers.
Adhere lilac piece in center of floral spray.
Cut two lengths of Crumb Cake twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack. Tie into a double bow, trim ends and adhere to lilac with a mini glue dot.
Stamp greeting on the 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic Beige cardstock. I used a greeting from the new Blooming Phrases stamp set. I love this stamp set, not only because of the font but because the greetings are so versatile. Stamp smallest floral image from the Gallery Blooms stamp set with Memento Black Ink in lower left corner and color with Stampin’ Blends. Adhere to inside of card
Embellish card front with a few Flower Accents that are part of the suite. I don’t own them so I used Adhesive Backed Textured Dots.

It’s been a few months since I posted cards. I’ve been busy making them for classes but haven’t had much time to do blog posts! Today’s card is a fun fold that features the Designer Series Paper from the Florals in Bloom Suite in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. I’ve been seeing different versions of this fun fold. This version is based on Susan Campfield’s Pop-up Parade fun fold. It looks complicated but it isn’t that hard to put together. It just has a lot of pieces!
Measurements
Card base – Basic White cardstock cut at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ and folded in half.
Inside of card – Basic White cardstock cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″
Top and bottom Basic White bands cut at 3/4″ x 5 3/4″. Score at 3/4″, 1/1/2″, 4 1/4″, 5″
Center Basic White band cut at 3″ x 5 3/4″. Score at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 4 1/4″, 5″.
Basic White cardstock cut at 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ for background piece placed behind the bands. You can substitute the white cardstock for a piece of DSP or cardstock in a coordinating color.
Scrap piece of Basic White cardstock for greeting.
Floral Bloom Designer Series Paper
Top and bottom bands – 2 pieces-1/2″ x 2 1/2″, 4 pieces-1/2″
Center band – 1 piece-2 1/2″ x 2 3/4″, 2 pieces 1/2″ x 2 3/4″
Side bands – 2 pieces-1/2″ x 5 1/4″
Inside of card – one piece 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
In Susan’s examples, she matted each piece of DSP. I chose not to do this, so if you want to cut mats for each piece, add 1/8″ to all of the DSP measurements.
Here is how I made the card.
Fold the score lines on each of the bands and burnish with a bone folder.
Adhere all of the DSP to the three bands.
Adhere the left side of the three bands flush against the left side of the folded card base.
Emboss the Basic White background piece with the embossing folder of your choice. I used the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. Adhere to card front, centering it in the middle.
Adhere the right side of the three bands flush against the right side of the card base.
Adhere the DSP side bands along the right and left side of the card front.
Stamp greeting with Secret Sea ink on scrap piece of Basic White cardstock. I used one of my favorite greeting stamp sets, Go To Greetings, which is retired. This is still one of my “go to” greeting sets! Run through die cutting machine with the small banner from the Stylish Shapes die set. Adhere to center panel with mini dimensionals.
Adhere the remaining piece of DSP to either side of the 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Adhere to inside of card. Stamp greeting or leave blank to write a note.
For a bit of bling, add a few small rhinestone jewels to the center front of the card.
