Summer Splash is my favorite new In Color. Not quite green, not quite blue, it works with all the colors!
Another great thing about the Spotlight on Nature Bundle is how it encourages creativity. Because the stamps and dies work so well together, you can experiment with different techniques and styles. Try watercoloring your stamped images for a soft, artistic look, or use embossing powders to add some shimmer and shine. Mix and match the stamps and dies to create unique, one-of-a-kind designs that reflect your personal style. This card uses the three images from the stamp set and cuts them out with the fantastic circle dies.
The flower, leaves, and butterfly in this set, are crafted to capture nature at it’s best. The intricate details on each stamp are fantastic. You can see the delicate veins on the leaves, the subtle curves of the petals, and the intricate patterns on the butterflies’ wings. You can bring your cards and projects to life with these stamps.

Summer Splash 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ folded for the card base

I am beyond thrilled to share another card made with the Spotlight on Nature Stamp Set and Dies Bundle from Stampin’ Up! today. This bundle has quickly become my go-to for creating beautiful, nature-inspired cards that really stand out. If you love all things crafty and have a soft spot for nature, then this bundle is going to rock your creative world.
One of the things I love most about this bundle is its versatility. It’s perfect for any season or occasion. In spring, you can create vibrant cards full of blooming flowers and fluttering butterflies. For summer, think bright, bold colors and lush greenery. In fall, you can use warm, rich tones to capture the essence of the changing leaves. And for winter, why not create a serene scene with leaves? The possibilities are endless. Today’s card features Petunia Pop and the flower image and I think definitely says summer.
Measurements:
Petunia Pop 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ folded for the card base
Basic White 5-1/4″ x 4″, 3-3/4″ and 3-1/4″ squares for the dies, scrap for the stamped flower
DSP 5-1/4″ x 2″
To make the card:
Fold the Petunia Pop card in half and then adhere the Basic White and DSP layers.
With Petunia Pop ink, stamp the flower onto the scrap of Basic White card stock and then cut out with scissors.
Cut out the two circles using Basic White card stock and the corresponding dies. Stamp the greeting onto the smaller circle with Petunia Pop ink.
Adhere the first circle to the card with adhesive and the second circle to the card with Dimensionals.
Add the flower to the card with additional Dimensionals.
To finish the card, add three Petunia Pop Resin Dots as shown.
I am absolutely loving this new bundle from Stampin’ Up!
First, the stamps. The intricate details on the flowers, leaves, and butterflies are stunning. Each of these stamps truly puts the spotlight on nature, making it easy to create cards that are drop-dead gorgeous. Plus there are two greeting and a couple of texture images. And the best part? These stamps layer beautifully, giving your projects a simple dimensional look.
But the real star of the show is the dies. Oh, my! The dies complement the stamps, perfectly sized to fit the stamped images. But they are so much more. The dies include 12 circles in different sizes and with awesome border designs. That means that these dies will work with almost every stamp set you own.
This Spotlight on Nature card features Peach Pie paper and inks, one of five new 2024-2026 In Colors introduced in the new Annual Catalogue. A clean and simple monochromatic card that came together easily.

Sweet Sorbet just might be my favourite Christmas colour this year. The colour is so vibrant especially when heat embossed with white powder for the flowers. And I added a little of the same Sweet Sorbet to the paper by colouring the berries with a Blends Marker.
For this card, I used products from the Fitting Florets Collection which includes a stamp set and dies bundle from the upcoming Mini Catalogue as well as a couple of items that will only be available until January 4th. I can’t believe 2022 is almost over!
The Framed Florets Bundle has sentiments for birthday, thank you and thinking of you. If you add in the Framed & Festive set, all of your Christmas sentiments are covered too. Plus both sets work with the elegant frames and greens included with the dies. And for even more mix and match options, the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper matches so with the dies and stamps.
Although the bundle will be available at least through April, the following exclusive products are only available while supplies last through January 4th:

If you were able to see the WCMD Craft-Along live or have watched the video, you’ve seen the new Warm Welcome Bundle that I used for the card above.
This bundle will make people feel welcome and appreciated and it’s perfect for all occasions with the warm messages. You can use it to announce a big event, such as “Baby is on her way!” or a new home. I think what makes this set great are all the other images – two cups clinking, a bouquet of flowers, a row and shoes and maybe best of all a cat. And the little dies – a door knocker, door handle and tiny numbers to make the card special.
The door is the focal point but there are lots of greetings and other designs that fit inside or outside the doorway. Or create a closed door like I did. Let friends and family know that your door is always open, and say “Hello,” “Welcome,” “Yay!” and much more, with the cutest style!
