Lovely Blossoms Sneak Peek


January 6th starts the new Jan-April Mini Catalog, but it also starts some wonderful Online Exclusives and today I'd like to introduce you to the Lovely Blossoms suite. This suite includes some gorgeous Designer Series Paper, the Lovely Arrangements bundle, the beautiful embellishments shown in the picture above, a new 3D embossing folder, and some 5/8" Cloud Cover Ribbon. We are going to make a card using 4 out of 5 of the elements above.

Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:

  1. Thick Basic White cardstock—card base 5 1/2" by 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼” on the long side and folded in half along the score line
  2. Lovely Blossoms DSP--die cut with the Everyday Arches dies
  3. Secret Sea cardstock--die cut the large group of circles
  4. Basic White--4" by 5 1/4" and a piece die cut from the larger sentiment Lovely Arrangements dies
  5. Stamp set--Lovely Arrangements
  6. Dies--Lovely Arrangements, Everyday Arches
  7. Lovely Stripes 3D Embossing Folder
  8. Ink—Secret Sea
  9. Moody Palette Glossy Dots
  10. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue and Seal+), Paper Trimmer, Stamp, Cut and Emboss Machine, Take Your Pick Tool,  Piercing Mat or Glass Mat Studio, Regular Dimensionals 
Let's start by doing some cutting. Cut the flower piece shown out of the Lovely Blossoms DSP (it will be a larger rectangle when first cut out). Then die cut it out using the 3rd from the largest Everyday Arches dies. Cut one long row off the large group of circles that you die cut from Secret Sea and attach that to the right side of the Everyday Arches die cut. Save the rest for under the sentiment.

Run the large Basic White piece through the Stamp, Cut and Emboss Machine inside the Lovely Stripes 3D Embossing Folder.

Now let's stamp using Secret Sea ink. Stamp a sentiment from Lovely Arrangements onto the sentiment die cut piece. Cut off another long row from the other side of the Secret Sea die cut circles. Cut off one of the circles and then attach the rest to the back bottom of the sentiment piece. 

Stamp one of the flowers on the inside of the card.


Let's put the card together. Attach the 3D embossed Basic White piece to the front of the card. Attach the DSP piece to the front of the card. Now attach the sentiment using Dimensionals. I used 3 (2 large and 1 small) Secret Sea Moody Palette Glossy Dots scattered over the front and you are done

Here's another view of the card.

  3rd Charming Duck Pond Post This card is a modified gate-fold card as the left front is just 1 1/4". I love how you can use most of the page of the 6" by 6" piece of DSP scenery to make this card. Sometimes I use the back side for the little pieces, but this time I used a separate piece of DSP with just the rushes on it. Enjoy!

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

Gingerbread Man & Woman Aren't these gingerbread man and woman just so cute? They are from the new 2025 Sept-Dec Mini Catalog that goes live to everyone at midnight 9/3/25. I am sure they are going to be a big seller, so get yours quickly before they sell out (just my prediction). The stamp set has lots of different expressions for our little gingerbread person, and the dies have many different objects for them to hold, but the cutest part of the bundle is that the die cuts 2 gingerbread men that you fold in half to make a card that can open.  This set is called Gingerbread Man, but I just had to see if I could make a gingerbread woman as he seemed to need a girlfriend. I don't know if you can tell, but her skirt is made from one of the Coneflower Celebrations dies cut from both Real Red and Garden Green cardstock. I'm sure whomever thought up those dies never thought they'd be used like this.  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Thick Basic White car...
