Bright Floral Card with the Stampin' Up! Lovely Arrangements Bundle and Stampin' Blends.

Make a bright and cheerful floral card using the Lovely Arrangements Bundle and Stampin’ Blends. A simple, colourful card idea that’s perfect for any occasion.

Floral card front with yellow flowers

This card features those beautiful florals from the Lovely Arrangements Bundle, coloured with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends and paired with Granny Apple Green for a fresh, vibrant look 🌿

I’ve kept the layout quite clean with a white panel, so the flowers really stand out — sometimes less really is more! The pop of colour against the green background makes this card feel fun, cheerful and perfect for sending a little note to someone special.

A few embellishments and a simple sentiment are all it needs to finish it off ✨

This one was such a favourite in a recent class — bright, easy and guaranteed to make someone smile.

  • Lovely Arrangements Bundle

Elegant Neutral Card with Stampin' Up! Lovely Arrangements & Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder

Discover how to create an elegant neutral handmade card using Pecan Pie cardstock, the Lovely Arrangements Bundle and a 3D embossing folder for added texture.

Card front image

This card is a completely different feel, it still uses the Lovely Arrangements Bundle — and I love how versatile it is!

For this design, we’ve used Pecan Pie cardstock as the base and added texture with the Lovely Stripes 3D Embossing Folder. If you know me, you know I love adding texture wherever I can 🙌

The tone-on-tone stamped background keeps everything soft and cohesive, while the layered florals add just enough detail to lift the design. The little strip of patterned paper and the gold flecks throughout the ribbon ties it all together without overpowering the card.

This is a great example of how you can create something really elegant using mostly neutral tones — perfect for so many occasions.

Supply List:

  • Lovely Arrangements Bundle
  • Lovely Stripes 3D Embossing Folder
  • Hobby Haven DSP
  • Gold Foil
  • Pecan Pie Cardstock
  • Stampin Blends - Petal Pink
  • Ribbon, embellishments, adhesive

Stampin’ Up Wedding Card with Vellum Accents | Flashback Friday + Last Chance Products

It’s Flashback Friday and this week I’m revisiting a soft and elegant wedding card created using the Lovely & Beautiful Suite Collection.

This design is all about keeping things simple while still achieving a beautiful, layered look—and the real star of the show is the Beautifully Adorned Vellum Ephemera Pack.

These delicate, gold-foiled vellum pieces make it so easy to add instant elegance to your cards. They create a soft, dreamy effect that’s perfect for wedding cards, anniversaries, and special celebrations, without needing lots of extra techniques.

I love how the vellum layers add dimension while still letting the background peek through—it’s one of those products that does all the hard work for you!

⚠️ Last Chance Alert

The vellum accents featured on this card are now on the Last Chance list.

If you’ve been thinking about adding them to your collection, now is the time to grab them—once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Pink / Purple, Fresh Freesia, Floral Card Idea with Stampin’ Up! Lovely Arrangements

Create a beautiful Fresh Freesia floral “Sending Smiles” card using the Lovely Arrangements Bundle. A simple yet elegant handmade card idea perfect for beginners and classes.

Floral card front

Today I’m sharing one of the cards we made in class using the Lovely Arrangements Bundle from the Lovely Blossoms Suite — and it’s such a pretty one 💕

I love how this design combines patterned paper with soft florals to create something that feels detailed without being complicated. The background paper really does a lot of the work here, and layering the florals over the top just brings everything together beautifully.

The contrast of the soft Fresh Freesia flowers with the darker leaves helps the focal point pop and finishing it off with a simple “sending smiles” sentiment keeps it clean and versatile. Add a few embellishments and you’re done ✨

This is one of those cards that looks impressive but comes together really easily — perfect for classes or when you want something quick but still special.
