NEW Soft Seedlings set ideas

I joined a few online swaps and decided to use the Soft Seedlings set (seen here) as I wasn't quite ready to play with Christmas yet.  I love the distinktive quality of the main image and the greetings are some I use often. *Distinktive is a process Stampin' Up! developed for their images that gives multiple hues of color on a stamp.

For my colors I chose to use Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent and a bit of Evening Evergreen with Vanilla. 

Save

Details:

• I stamped the background in Soft Succulent ink on the Vanilla CS and sponged the edges.  
• The strip of Soft Succulent CS is embossed with the new Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder. 
• I stamped the leaf images in Soft Succulent ink and sponged ink directly on the stamp.  I added a bit of Cherry Cobbler on one side and Evergreen on the other. Then huffed and stamped on a scrap of Vanilla CS.  It's fussy cut and added to the card with a Vanilla twine bow.  
• The greeting is from the stamp set and die-cut with a die from the Potted Succulents dies. 

Save

Measurements:

• Cherry Cobbler card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
• Vanilla 4 5/8" X 2 3/4"
• Soft Succulent 1 1/2" X 4 1/4"

• Awesome fun fold swaps by the Flowerbug’s

  June 21, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing two neat fun fold cards made by a few of my Flowerbug's for a recent card swap. Our them was to use a new 2025-27 In Color and make it a fun fold.  

  First is a card made by Joan who used the new Online Exclusive set 'It's Okay' seen here.  

  Save

  Her In Color is Strawberry Slush and she loves to color; as you can see!  It's a triple fold card; here's how the first panel opens:

  Here are her measurements:

  • card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  • White opening panel 8" X 5 1/4" scored at 4"
  • inside DSP – large right panel is 3 3/4" X 5", greeting strip 3 7/8" X 1", back of the front panel 3 1/4" X 2 1/4"
  • front white panel 3" X 4 1/4"
  • Front Strawberry panel 3" X 4 1/4"
  • side strip to connect panels 3" X 1" scored in half

  Isn't her coloring gorgeous?  That Bokeh DSP is perfect here!

  I shared two pretty cards featuring the Gallery Blooms bundle on last week's video.  The first was shared here.  And this is the second one:

  Save

  Both featured the bundle and two main colors – Secret Sea with Fresh Freesia.  The greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essentials set seen here.  I'm so glad it didn't retire!
