Happy Christmas Eve EVE, y’all! Today’s the day you want to do that last minute run to Walmart – or any grocery store, I’m thinkin’! We tried to get a Butter Pecan Cake Mix at Publix last night and…they did NOT have them! Whaaaa?!? So – we’re likely going to sprint to Walmart – yes, THEY have them! – to get that and a couple other things so we don’t have to go tomorrow. We’re actually doing Christmas dinner on Saturday when the kids can be there – so I’ve got a minute. But…in MY eyes – the only WORSE day to go to Wally than Christmas EVE is…the day AFTER Christmas! 😳😳
So – as we get closer to the end of the year, we’re ALSO getting closer to the go-live day for the January 2026 Online Exclusives! Yeah! The Lovely Blossoms Suite is one of the goodies you’ll be able to snag! There’s pretty DSP of the same name – and the coordinating Lovely Arrangements bundle. I used those to make a pretty birthday card – take a look-see:
The layout for this one was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
I did a quick video on how to make this pretty card – which is posted on Instagram. If you’d like to give that a watch – click here!
I started by trimming a piece of the Lovely Blossoms DSP down to 3 3/4″ x 5″ and matting it on Old Olive cardstock for the card front.
This paper includes 3 of each of 4 different two-sided designs – and one of those designs has a whole host of pretty panels in various sizes – all ready to be your card front or a pretty element!
I adhered the matted panel to the front of my Secret Sea card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped each of the pretty flowers from the Lovely Arrangements stamp set in Petal Pink ink.
Then I cut them out with the coordinating dies in the bundled die set.
I used the two leaf dies in the Lovely Arrangements die set to cut out THREE two-leaf leaves and ONE one-leaf leaf from a piece of Vellum cardstock and ONE two-leaf leaf and ONE one-leaf leaf from Basic White cardstock.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the die cut flowers and leaves to the side of the card front – letting them “spill” off the right edge.
On another piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the Lovely Arrangements sentiment in Old Olive ink and cut it out with the larger banner die from the set.
I adhered the sentiment over the leaves with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added five Old Olive dots from the new Moody Palette Glossy Dots – part of the Suite and available on 6 Jan! – and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped a second Lovely Arrangements sentiment in Old Olive ink on a Basic White panel. Next to it, I stamped the flowers in Petal Pink ink.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Secret Sea card base and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the larger Lovely Arrangements flower on the front…
…and another piece of the Lovely Blossoms DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Wow – this Lovely Blossoms DSP is stunning – Petal Pink and Secret Sea is one of my favorite color combos! The Lovely Arrangements bundle is a perfect counterpoint and…the Moody Palette Glossy Dots are going to be some of my most used embellishments, I am certain!
I hope you like!
