CARD CLASS WITH THE NEW IRRESITIBLE BLOOMS BUNDLE

I think you will just love this new bundle Irresitible Blooms and the Coordinating Designer Series Paper - Hello Irresistible! This set has beautiful floral images and font and some unique dies! It's being released as one of the first new products in Stampin' Ups! online exclusinve products.  These products will be released online only throughout the year and not in a catalog. You can view them here - Download Online exclusives march 2023

With this first card I show how to make a 3D rose using three stamped images of the large bloom.  It also has the long ribbon-like die cut on the left side. I'm thinking of it as a trellis. The Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper actually has leaves and roses that you can die cut out of the paper to use.  The roses are stamped but the leaves are fromt he designer series paper.

This second card features some of the DSP with beautiful floral rose images on it. (It's soooo easy to make beautiful cards with this DSP!)

Touches of White And Crumb Cake enhance the card. The tags are cut with the Tailored Tags Dies and the white leaves are cut with dies from the set.

The third card features a couple of the blooms from the designer series paper, crinkle ribbon and an embossed "hello" on black cardstock.

I love the deisgner series paper on the card base - ooo la la!

The fourth card features some of the Pretty Peacock designer series paper and the circle die that has such a beautiful design!

I love the Fresh Freesia with the Black Background and touches of Evening Evergreen.

The second card is a Slide and Lock Card:

And here is the birthday card version:

Fragrant Flowers Slider and lock birthday card

 

The Slide and Lock Mechanism is hidden between two layers of one of the Scalloped Contours Dies which enables it to be slid up and down or off the card.

To create the mechanism:

Die cut two tags with the middle Scalloped Contours Die:

Slider with die and die cuts

From Basic White Cardstock cut out two pieces 3 5/8" x 2 1/4". Score each one on the short side at 1 1/8" down the middle and fold in half:

Slider inside pieces folded

 

Adhere one of them to one side of one of the die cuts with the opening facing to the outside:

Slider with one inside piece

Add the other 3 5/8" x 2 1/4" folded piece of Basic White Cardstock to the other side with the opening facing outward:

Slider with two inside pieces glued on

Next glue the remaining die cut to the top of the layers.

This is what it looks like looking down on it. Notice the open "wings" on each side.  This is how you slide it.

Gift Bag and Card:

I used the vellum so you can see the designer series paper better.  *(Note: I used Basic White Card Stock on the FB live card  because the vellum didnt' hold up well with constant opening and closing.)  The candles and balloon are from the Celebrate With Tags Dies set.

Sentimental Park Bundle Yellow and Blue Card edited

I also used frames from the Framed Florets Dies to make the Night of Navy Frame. The Navy frame creates a balance between the yellow in the card front layer and the yellow polka dots in the oval  behind the sentiment. 

I love the Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon in this collection and it adds such a nice touch to the card. 

The Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots add some lovely sparkle to the card front and the centers of the flowers.

Sentimental Park partial

The small flowers around the sentiment are punched from the DSP with  Petal Park Builder Punch. Several sheets of the DSP are made to easily punch flowers from!
