STAMPIN’ UP! NATURAL BOTANICALS IN SOFT SEA FOAM

This was the first time I have played with the Stampin’ Up! Natural Botanicals Stamp Set. I received this set months ago. It was a bonus pick during the second month of Sale-A-Bration. So it was so good to get it for Free!

This is a reverse stamp set. Which means you can stamp with either side. There is the detailed image then flip the stamp over. Some of the solid images will “fill” in the detail. Keep in mind though that some stamps when reversed will stamp the opposite way. But you can use them on their own.

Here we have the card in Soft Sea Foam. I love this soft green colour.

The Soft Sea Foam card mat was embossed with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder.

Having the heat embossed sentiment on black gives the card a POP. The words are from the Simply Said Stamp Set.

This is the Stamp Set.

A BEACHY CARD WITH THE NOTES AND TOTES BUNDLE ~

I have recently got the Notes and Totes Bundle. I have seen so many cute cards with this one. So I had a play this week.

This was one of the first cards I made with it. I will say it took a little bit to see how the little tote worked. And when I came to make a little tote without a card I was uncertain with that. But that one is for another day and I will share some tips.

For now this cute card. It gives you those Beach Day Vibes.

The actual Tote is created with the Nests of Winter Paper. (Did you know that was still current??). The pattern works well for a Tote.

You then Diecut the little pieces – the straps and handles and base for the Tote, then you have the “cream tube” and the water bottle. Then assembling the sunglasses. I had a couple of attempts working out those. (That will be for another day too).

For the “sand” I tore a strip of Crumb Cake card then stamped the “dotted” stamp over it.

This is the Notes and Totes Bundle.

You can see it more Online -> HERE.

If you would like to order and you are in Australia I would love to help you get this or any other products for your crafting. I send out a little special surprise as a Thank You.

FRAMED PRETTY FLORALS CARD – SAME BUT DIFFERENT!

I have been playing a lot with the Pretty Florals Bundle. I have shared some different ones already. These 2 cards are very similar. There are just some variations.

They have the same paper, the Florals in Bloom Paper, and I have created the black frames to really highlight the flowers. You might be able to tell the differences though.

The one with the Fresh Freesia flowers is using the larger diecut flower and the outline edge. I sponged over a little Fresh Freesia ink to add some extra definition. This one is on a Fresh Freesia Card Base. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Stamp Set and diecut with the Mixed Labels Dies. We made this one in our class last week using the Pretty Florals Bundle.

The other one is with the small pink flowers. The flowers are in Pretty In Pink and the little edges, (Not sure what you would call them) are in the Strawberry Slush. This one has a Pretty In Pink Card Base. The sentiment on this one is from the Stippled Roses Stamp Set I think.

So which one do you prefer?

This is a great bundle. I have had a lot of fun creating with it.

SWEET SUNDAY WITH PARTY PANDAS STAMP SET ~

I am loving pandas at the moment. They are so cute and clumsy. I remembered the Party Pandas Stamp Set. I sold mine some time ago after it retired. I was sad about that. It is such a cute set.

BUT, I received a new set on Mother’s Day last weekend. I was excited. So I spent Mother’s Day afternoon creating with it. These are the cards I came up with.

On the Left Hand Card, I used the Soft Waves Embossing Folder. The rectangle is diecut with one of the Textured Notes Dies. The Thinking of You is from the With You In Mind Stamp Set.

On the Right Hand Card the paper is from the Mixed Media Florals Pack.

I think I will have a bit of fun creating with these Pandas.

Happy Crafting,

2025-2027 IN COLOR COMPARISONS + FREE CHART~

The new In Colors are out now. You might have seen them. If not Welcome to the 2025-2027 In Colors.

The In Colors are quite a mix of tones this year I will say. You have the bright Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger. Also the returning Strawberry Slush. Then the more neutral colours of Cloud Cover and Secret Sea.

What is your favourite?

I have used Secret Sea a bit already. It’s not so blue as Night of Navy and not dark and heavy as Black. It seems to work well with many colours.

Each year I like to do a Comparison with other Stampin’ Up! Colours.

They are all comparing to current colours except for including Mint Macaron.

Would you like to have a PDF version of this yourself? I am gifting you all this so you can refer back to it often.

You can head -> HERE to Download one yourself.

Cloud Cover Update –

The Cloud Cover Ink Pad has had some issues with the colour being stable. Since Stampin’ Up! pride themselves in quality this has been unacceptable despite all the workings around. As a result Stampin’ Up! have decided to remove the Cloud Cover Ink Pad. The colour will still be available in Cardstock, Markers and Ink Refill. If you wish to still have an Ink Pad perhaps get a Mini Ink Spot and use the refill to create your own. I have heard some demonstrators ink up the Secret Sea and stamp it off before stamping to create a very close match.

STAMPIN’ UP! PRETTY FLORALS AND FLORALS IN BLOOM ~

Sometimes you make a card and you are really not sure. You keep looking at it and wonder. There is something not quite right. This was one of those cards. I’m just not sure.

I thought I would show you anyway. It’s the first card I made with the new Pretty Florals Bundle and working with the new 2025 In Colors. Something just wasnt working for me.

I CASED the layout of a card from a recent catalogue by Stampin’ Up! artists. That looked really nice but it just didn’t seem to work with this one. That’s ok though. It happens.

Here we have the card.

The In Colors I used on this one are Secret Sea, Cloud Cover and the Timid Tiger. I also used Peach Pie with it which works well.

I have created more with this bundle. I have shared some already but will share more soon.

This is the Pretty Florals Bundle. It’s a 2-Step Stamp Set you can layer together.

Watch out for more with these.

CREATE A WINDOW FLAP FOLD CARD + A VIDEO!

This week’s video is a Window Flap Fold Card. It gives a little surprise when you start opening the card.

This is the card when it is closed up.

I used the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper. It has such lovely colours and prints in the pack. The flowers are from the Pretty Florals Bundle. These are new in the 2025 Annual Catalogue just out this week.

When you open the card…

The sentiment is from the Loveliest Tree Stamp Set. For the window you can use any shape but I think circles do work best.

This is the inside.

I’m going to show you how easy it is to make one yourself. So follow along in the video.

You can follow along with the video HERE or on Youtube. I share the measurements in Metric and Imperial.

They are part of the Pretty Florals Bundle with the Stamps and Dies. The paper is The Florals in Bloom Paper. There is gorgeous flower prints. For this card I chose the subtle pattern so as not to clash with the flowers.
