Stampin’up!’s Mediterranean Blooms Card #1

in Cardmaking, Cards, Class tutorial, classe en Français, Creativity on 06/11/24

Hello Crafters, Bonjour!

I’m so excited… Chris surprised me with an early birthday gift. My birthday is in July…. I feel so spoiled.  Since we are occupying two properties, one on the East part of Canada and the other towards the West side, I was struggling with not having the proper tools to be able to post on my Blog, Instagram and Facebook Business Pages.  Some things I can manage on my phone but other things, I really can’t.  I’ve been saving up for a new lap top.  But it can be so pricey.  Surprise…. I came in my studio to find an early present wrapped up in birthday paper with a large blue bow.  It included  the most sentimental card.   We have been on a crazy adventure these past few weeks and I have to admit, I’ve been on overdrive.

Today, I get to relax and craft in my studio.  And let me tell you, It’s smelling like a beautiful citrus blend… I’m designing a card class with the most unique Card Box Holder. I’m obsessed with Stampin’up!’s Mediterranean Blooms Suite Collection on page 34-35 of the Annual Catalogue.  This collection is also available in French.

I’m sharing with you a Sneak Peek of one of my cards.

Color Combination:

Pumpkin Pie
Old Olive
Night of Navy
Daffodil Delight

Tip of the Day:  Add Pumpkin Pie ink to a Blending Brush and color the card base by adding the ink in a circular motion.  This adds dept to your card.  Stamp a couple of images from the coordinating stamp set on top of the blended color.

Did you know that the Citrus Blooms Bundle is discounted this month?  It’s also available in French and called Zeste De Bonheur.  Add it to your order before the deal expires!

Keep following as I have a special offer with this beautiful collection…

    Hi Kim,
    Beautiful card! Do you have directions to make the card? In particular, the Night of Navy beaded appearance around the DSP layer. Was it a die? If so, what’s set was it from? I too am a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in Colorado and I’m always excited to learn new techniques. Your style is absolutely gorgeous. I wish you much success in life and in your business.
    Blessings,
    Diane Webb

      hi Diane, thank you for your kind words. It is border dies. I think they were part of the online exclusive but have been removed. Let me see if I can get you the name. I love scallop borders.
