One of my new favorite items, “Phrases & Frames” Bundle Meets “Bloom Boutique” DSP! This new pack of Designer Series Paper is a beautiful collection of “Specialty” papers that feature the NEW 2026-2028 “In Colors”. The “Specialty” factor means that this pack of Designer Series Paper has beautiful gold accents on the prints. I created this card sample for my New Catalog Open House earlier in May. HERE is my previous post with this great bundle.
For this card, I actually chose to use the “B” side of two prints from the “Bloom Boutique” DSP. Basically, this means I used the sides with more neutral prints, not the feature side with the gold accents. My color palette was Basic White and the NEW Hydrangea Hue“In Color“. Using Basic White adds a nice crispness to this card. I managed to use two of the different “frames” from the “Frames & Phrases” Bundle. I ran both die cut frames through the “Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine” a second pass with the new “Impressions Plate” for added embossed texture on the die cuts. The added depth on the die cut frames definitely gives them more detail and makes them “pop”.
My greeting is from the “Scalloped Wishes” stamp set and stamped in Hydrangea Hue. I added a few of the 2026-2028 “In Color Dots” to the greeting panel. Next, I added a white striped ribbon bow from my stash of ribbons with a “Mini Glue Dot”. This was a super simple card with a few layers of DSP and two of the die cut frames from the bundle. Honestly, I am loving the new Hydrangea Hue“In Color”. This is such a pretty shade of blue with a soft hint of purple.
Recently I had posted a card sample with the “Exciting Times” Bundle. In my previous post HERE, I was able to incorporate all five of the NEW “In Colors” in my card. My next card with this “Exciting Times” Bundle, I chose a vertical orientation and used two of the NEW “In Colors”. One thing I realized is that these NEW “In Colors” play very well with each other along with our core color collection.
For my card sample, I chose Barely Blush, Crisp Cantaloupe and Basic White for my color palette. A few layers and a strip of “Bloom Boutique” Designer Series Paper for the foundation of my card. Then, I stamped the frame from the “Exciting Times” Bundle with Crisp Cantaloupe on a piece of Barely Blush card stock. Next, I punched out the center rectangle with the coordinating punch. I stamped the radiating lines image in Barely Blush on a piece of Basic White card stock. I stamped this twice, as it is a very light color. The greeting was stamped in Crisp Cantaloupe and these two pieces were layered together with double “Mini Glue Dots”. For the top of this “tag”, I used two punches to create the shape for the top.
To complete my card, I added a few light colored sequins from my stash. Lastly, I added a piece of the “NEW 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon” in Barely Blush and tied it off with a piece of “White Baker’s Twine”. I added the greeting panel to my card front with some “Dimensionals”. I love the soft colors used for this super easy and cute card!
For my new catalog Open House, I created several card samples with the “Phrases & Frames” Bundle. This particular card was actually my free make-n-take card project for my Open House. I allowed customers to choose a greeting and their mat layer color along with their embossed frame color. HERE was my previous post with the “Phrases & Frames” Bundle.
For my card, I also included the beautiful “Bloom Boutique” Designer Series Paper and a great new embossing folder, “Paradise Garden” Hybrid Folder. The “Paradise Garden” Embossing Folder is featured in the OnLine Exclusives. This folder is unique that when used with the coordinating die, will cut portions of the leaves in the background. This allows you to lift the leaves and tuck a panel under or lift them with a “Dimensional” for additional texture. For my Designer Series Paper print, I chose a pattern that incorporated ALL of the NEW “In Colors”. I wanted my customers to see these beautiful NEW “In Colors”.
My greeting is from the “Phrases & Frames” Bundle and stamped on the inside of the frame die cut out which is oval in shape. Everyone had fun learning how to use the new impressions dies along with the “Impressions Plate”, which to me is a more flexible layer than the name implies. We backed our greeting with a retired Scalloped Oval Die from my stash. The addition of a knotted bow in the “3/8″ Bordered Ribbon” and a few “In Color” Dots completed the card. I believe that everyone enjoyed playing with these new products and selecting their own color combination.
I will note that we used “Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals” in the corners of the embossed frame. The straighter parts of the frame were supported with “Foam Adhesive Strips”. I did offer several greeting options so that everyone could customize their card. Honestly, all of the cards turned out pretty darn cute!
