Mixed Florals Easter Card

Tuesday, March 10, 2026

By now I should have enough Easter cards planned for my Tuesday stampers, but I am loving all of the options this year.


I found this card layout from Pinterest by Kathi Ondus. 

I didn't have any of the Country Lace Designer Paper left so did a little digging and came up with LOVELY BLOSSOMS. I also pulled out a retired stamp set called CELEBRATING YOU for the "Happy Easter" greeting, and die cut out with am Mixed Labels Die.

The flowers from MIXED FLORALS were stamped with Black ink and colored in with Flirty Flamingo (combo), Mossy Meadow (dark), Granny Apple Green (Dark) and Daffodil Delight (dark).

This is considered a EASY CENTER STEP FUN FOLD CARD

Measurements:

Mossy Meadow

4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2" (large card base)

3 7/8" x 5 1/8" (large matte)

Basic Beige

4" x 10 1/4" scored at 2 1/2' and 5" (small card base)

Irresistible Blooms

Wednesday, March 22, 2023

 The brand new IRRESISTIBLE BLOOMS Bundle is the feature for today's blog post. This bundle is called an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE which means that it will never be published in any of our catalogs. It is strictly an online exclusive. 

I was instantly drawn to the unique dies - I call these bonus dies. Of course, there are dies to cut out the stamped images of the two sizes of flowers and the three styles of leaves, but what I call a "bonus" is that there are extra leaves dies, the circle die and the long die. I'm not even sure how to label them but they are something totally new than what I've ever seen before.

As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator we get the opportunity to purchase products in advance, and I am so glad that I did because already, only 2 weeks later, the dies. designer paper, and the embellishments are not available to purchase. (at this time) According to Stampin' Up! they should be available mid April.

The pretty paper has shades of Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Soft Seafoam
WHAT? Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock? Aren't those retired in-colors from previous years?
YUP!! You can expect a color revamp with the new annual catalog. So far the only new colors to our lineup are the Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock, but we know that there will be more. Stay tuned - when I know the new colors I will let you all know.

Here are the cards that I made up and who they were inspired by:
Inspired by Michele Jutrisa (no blog)

I cut out all the flowers from the designer paper and still need more. I wanted shaded paper vs a straight card stock so I took this designer paper, sponged some Flirty Flamingo ink on it, then stamped it with Versa Mark and heat embossed it with White Embossing Powder before I die cut it out. It is the flower that is in the front on this first card. I laid a piece of designer paper on top to show you the flip side of the paper I used.

Inspired by Mary Fish
Inspired by Jaimie but used the GO TO GREETINGS Stamp Set for my "Thinking of You"
Inspired by Jaimie 
I changed this one up from a "thank you" card to a "Happy  Mother's Day" card

The small circle was sponged with So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo and Petal pink. It was inspired by Jaimie
Inspired by Verena Shapiro on Instagram. I changed up the words, using the GO TO GREETINGS Stamp set instead. 
I changed this one up as well by making it a Mother's Day card and changing up which flowers I used, based on what I had on hand. I used a previous Paper Pumpkin Kit stamp set.
Inspired by Vy Tran - I also changed this up from a "thank you" to a "Mother's Day" using the CELEBRATING YOU stamp set.
Inspired by Su Mohr  I didn't have any Lost Lagoon cards stock left over from when it retired so I substituted it with Soft Succulent. I added the "Birthday Wishes" from the retired BIRTHDAY GREETINGS Stamp Set.
I loved using the bonus fancy circle die for an Easter card using the Easter Bunny Stamp set and punch. It was inspired by Kim Gibbons Fee

Easter Bunny

Tuesday, March 21, 2023

Today's Stamp Set feature is the Super cute EASTER BUNNY which comes as a bundle with a PUNCH!! everyone loves the punches - how do I know this? It sold out (but don't fret, they are getting more in). Follow the links below to place your online order. Just please be sure to use the Host Code.

But as you can see, the punch only punches out one of the styles of bunnies, the rest you will need to stamp flat or fussy cut to pop it up.

I loved this first card that combined the THANKS A BUNCH Stamp Set from SAB and the FRAMED FLORETS Dies 

Card #2 is such a cute card inspired by one of our talented demonstrators in Germany (no blog) I had to change things up because she used a ton of watercoloring and I know that my stampers really do NOT like it when I put out a card using water colors. Since there was no blog to follow or instructions, I made my card 4-1/4" square. I used both EASTER BUNNY and THANKS A BUNCH with CELEBRATING YOU for the sentiment
This next card also used the same stamp sets and the Pale Papaya DSP (6x6) inspired by Laura Milligan. Also used is the THANKS A BUNCH stamp set from SAB. I was surprised at how many of my customers chose this carrot stamp set for their free item.
This next card was inspired by Christy and features the COUNTRY FLORAL LANE 12x12 designer paper. It was a big hit at my Tuesday class last week. The little butterfly comes in the EASTER BUNNY stamp set, but the larger butterfly comes from DAFFODIL DREAMS. The ribbon that ties around is such a soft and sweet combo of basic white and balmy blue (1/2" variegated)

This treat box was created just like the sample in the SAB brochure. The ladies made this at our Mid-Winter Retreat. It uses the CRACKER & TREAT Dies as well as the TAILOR MADE TAGS dies.
This is one of the centerpieces that I made for the Mid-Winter Retreat, and one lucky recipient went home with this centerpiece.
This next card is one that I made for some of the gals on my Stampin' Up! team. It was inspired by one I saw on the Demonstrator Planning Place FB page. (a sweet perk for all us demonstrators)
Of course, this cute bunny doesn't need to be just for Easter. Think how cute it will be on a baby card or a card for a little girl who absolutely loves bunnies. I know that my sister in law loves bunnies and has her home decorated so cute with them.

Adorable Owls for All Occasions

Thursday, December 29, 2022
Are you ready for another sneak peak from the upcoming Sale a bration?
 
Sale a bration starts on January 5th as well as the new January to April Mini Catalog.

Each Sale a bration I look forward to seeing what the whimsical stamp set will be and we get these items for FREE, stampers!!
These ADORABLE OWLS will be a BIG hit for sure!
The first card that I made with the Adorable Owls was inspired by Stacey Marsh on Pinterest (no blog link)
When we went to Indianapolis for the OnStage event in November we were gifted the DECORATIVE BORDERS Stamp Set, and this card was genius to combine the two.
The "just saying Hello" is from the SIMPLY FABULOUS stamp set.

As soon as I saw the little owl stamp set I immediately thought how cute he would be with a graduation cap on.
His little grad cap was made using the BEAUTIFUL SHAPES Dies. I made a template from the BASIC BORDERS Dies and some Balmy Blue ink to create the cloudy sky
Other: Bough Punch, Peaceful Moments Stamp Set, Round & Square Brads

The second thought I had was how cute he would look with a Santa hat
Product Used: Real Red Card Stock, Basic White, Regals Designer Paper, Hope & Peace Stamp Set, Timber Embossing Folder, Layering Circles Dies, Snowfall Accents Puff Paint. His cute little Santa hat came from the October 2022 Paper Pumpkin stamp set.

THEN... I decided I needed to treat the little owls to every occasion!!

Valentines Day!
Product Used: Merry Melody Embossing Folder, ALPHABET ALA MODE DIES (another sneak peak of a new product in the January-April Mini)

How about St Patrick's Day?
Product Used: Garden Green card stock, Regals Designer Paper, Give It A Whirl Dies (hearts to make the shamrocks), Timeworn Type Embossing Folder, 1-1/4" & 1-3/8" Circle Punches (retired). The little hat and the sentiment were geared on my computer.

Next Up: Easter - I could just picture the little owl flying with a basket filled with easter eggs.
I created the basket with the BEAUTIFUL SHAPES Dies and for the handle it is a 3/4" & a 1" Circle punches (retired). I embossed the little basket with the HIVE embossing folder.
The grasses come from the PALMS DIES
Other: Timeworn Type Embossing Folder, Design a Daydream Designer Paper (host exclusive in the Annual Catalog), Celebrating You Stamp Set.
The itty bitty Easter Eggs were made using the center of the zero in the Playful Alphabet die set. This alphabet die set is retired but hopefully you snagged them up before it was too late. However, I can only imagine you can find a similar oval shape in your stash of dies, you just need to be creative in your search.

Next Up: Mother's Day - I kept thinking of an airplane flying overhead with a big banner saying "Happy Mother's Day" - This is super simple, but all I could come up with, with the vision I had in my head.
Product Used: Pretty Prints Designer Paper, Happy & Heartfelt (retired), banner die from Hold On To Hope (retired)

PATRIOTIC for July 4th, but could also be used for Memorial Day or Veteran's Day
Normally I use this template in the opposite direction but with the fireworks designer paper (from CELEBRATE EVERYTHING) I thought it looked better in this direction.
Other: a non-Stampin' Up! stamp set called OF THEE I SING. 

Last, but not least is a fall themed card
Product Used: Celebrate Everything Designer Paper (Host exclusive from the July to December mini - retiring soon). TIP: the paper is black and white so I sponged Granny Apple Green ink over the leaves so that they would stand out behind the ASPEN Die. 
HELLO HARVEST (retiring soon), Textured Embossing Folder (retired) - it just needed "something". I really hate the flat look so I textured it.

What will you make with your cute little owl stamps? Will it be your first free item to get when Sale a bration starts on January 5th, 2023?
