Happy Mother's Day Card

A fun fold design featuring the Boutique Blossoms Bundle

This week's card was all about mixing new stamps and dies from the upcoming Stampin' Up! May-August 2026 catalog with beautiful Designer Series Paper in a fun vintage color palette.  I think this turned out beautifully. If you have older products including Designer Series Paper sitting in your stash, this is such a great reminder of how easily you can make them feel brand new again.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Layered Floral Fun Fold Design

This card features a layered floral design using the Boutique Blossoms Bundle available for purchase on May 5th, paired with a muted, slightly vintage-inspired color palette. It is the kind of card that looks detailed and dimensional, but is actually quite simple once you break it down.

KEY TECHNIQUE

Fun Fold with Matching DSP Throughout

The focus for this card is a fun fold design featuring matching Designer Series Paper throughout the card. Use a darker tone ink for stamping outline images and sentiments to help them stand out against the patterned paper layers.

TIPS

The Boutique Blossoms bundle of dies and stamps makes it easy to create soft, colored floral images with zero coloring required. Simply ink the stamp, press, and die cut for a beautifully finished floral element every time.
