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 πŸ’•

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.

Paper pumpkin in Australia

 πŸ“¦ How Paper Pumpkin Works (and how to get yours!)


There are a couple of ways to subscribe—so you can pick what suits you best πŸ‘‡

✨ Pay-As-You-Go

This is the easiest option! Your kit is automatically sent each month, so you never miss out. You’re only charged monthly and you can pause, skip, or cancel anytime after your first kit.

✨ Prepaid Subscriptions

Prefer to plan ahead (or gift it 🎁)? You can prepay for 3, 6, or 12 months upfront—shipping is included, and it’s a great way to lock in your crafty time each month.

πŸ‘‰ You can subscribe using my link here:

https://tinyurl.com/SubscribePaperPumpkin


πŸ’» Managing your subscription

Everything is super simple to manage in your Stampin’ Up! account. Once you’re logged in, you can:

• Update your shipping or payment details

• Change how many kits you receive each month

• Skip a month if life gets busy

• Cancel or restart anytime

• Make sure I’m selected as your demonstrator (so I can keep inspiring you πŸ’š)

πŸ“… Billing & shipping

Your first kit is paid for when you sign up. After that, billing happens on the 11th of each month so your kit can be prepared and sent out.

If there’s ever an issue with payment, the system will retry a few times—but it’s best to keep your details up to date so you don’t miss out on a kit you love!

🎁 Your first box = a little extra gift!

Your very first Paper Pumpkin is a Welcome Kit, which includes a clear stamp block—so you’ll be ready to go straight away and use it with all your future kits too πŸ™Œ

Honestly, it’s such a fun, easy way to keep your creativity flowing each month—and I can’t wait to see what you make with yours πŸ’•
