Category: Birthday Cards

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia are participating. We have a wide array of fun projects and design styles to share with you! This month’s theme is “September – December 2023 Mini Catalogue”. There are so many gorgeous options to choose from in this catalogue. Together with Shirley, Terri and six other demonstrators, I am participating in a World Card Making Day Online Retreat (more about this further on) and I am demonstrating my cards using the Translucent Florals bundle, so I decided to use that same bundle for today’s hop.

The flowers on this card are made using dies from the Translucent Florals dies. There are two sizes of flowers in the die set that you can use to make the flowers that don’t have coordinating stamps.
I got really lucky as the Delightful Floral DSP has just been released in the online store and this matches the bundle perfectly!

Be sure to hop all the way around and see which mini catalogue products the others have chosen. Please leave comments for us – we love getting feedback about our work!
