Florals in Bloom Suite - All Star Video Class Bundle Blog Hop July 2025

 



Hello and welcome to my blog. I am delighted to be part of the All Star Video Class Group. Each month we create a Video Class Bundle with
exclusive tutorials complete with photos, video directions and a supply list that includes both Metric and Imperial measurements, and we also hop together each month sharing a new project using the same suite.


This month we are using the Florals in Bloom Suite from the annual catalogue. It is a bumper suite with two stamp/die bundles, Designer Series Paper and InColor flat pearl embellishments.


Here is 
a sneak peek of the projects included in this month's bundle of video tutorials.


This is a close up of the sneak peek of my project in the tutorial bundle.


To enjoy the video class bundle of tutorials you have several options:

  • shop with me -  if you order from my online store you will receive that month's bundle for free
  • purchase - buy the bundle for £11.50 
  • Join my Team - team members will receive the tutorials for free

During July 2025 a subscription option is also available - you purchase five months you receive the sixth month (December 2025) for free.

Every month for the next six months we will be using current Stampin' Up! Suites to create a Video Class Bundle, each containing 12 exclusive video classes. We will be using a mix of Online Exclusive suites and suites from the printed catalogues. Next month we are using the Floral Impressions Suite.


Thank you for joining me today for the All Star Design Team Video Class Bundle Blog Hop for July 2025.
At the start of each month, each of creates another project using the featured suite of products to give you even more inspiration. Here is my additional Florals in Bloom Suite project.


For this card I have used a similar colour palette to the one I used for my video because I love flowers in these colours. You can create a bouquet to suit every taste and they will all be beautiful. The possibilities are endless.

The flowers are created using two-step stamping. I used a dark shade for the outline image and a lighter one for the fill in solid colour. In preparation for my projects, I stamped and die cut a whole bunch of flowers to allow for experimentation and now I have a small stash of flowers ready to create with!

I hope you feel inspired to create a pretty bouquet too. Let me know what you think in the comments below. If you would like more ideas using this suite you can purchase the tutorial bundle (along with previous tutorials) HERE

Pretty Florals for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop


Hello and welcome to my blog. This group has had a short creative break, but I am excited to say that I am hopping with I
nk and Inspiration team again today. I have chosen to feature products from the Florals in Bloom Suite, together with a few of my favourite go to dies for this project.


Our inspiration comes from a sketch this month. I have used the elements of the sketch, although I may have adjusted the proportions of the elements.


I started by stamping some flowers using the colour palette used in the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper. The DSP has a lot of different coloured flowers and I quickly decided to restrict my selection to Strawberry Slush paired with Pretty in Pink, Timid Tiger (full strength and stamped off) plus Granny Apple Green for the leaves. 

Selecting Timid Tiger surprised me, because I don't normally choose orange flowers and I don't stamp with it very often either! The pink and orange flowers seemed to sit pleasantly together, so I rolled with it and continued to create a little bouquet of blooms.


The flowers are created using two stamps; one for the background and another one for the detail. I prefer to stamp the lighter colour for the background first and then go back over with the darker shade. You can use one ink pad and use the second generation of ink to achieve the paler shade for the background, which I did with the Timid Tiger ink. Alternatively, you can use colour buddy ink pads which are naturally lighter and darker shades. For example, Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink.

I created layers using the Textured Notes dies - one is cut from the Woven Textures DSP and the other is simply Basic White overstamped with text and splatters from the Elements of Text set. I used Crumb Cake Ink stamped off a couple of times to give a really faded impression to complement both the Crumb Cake base card and the DSP.


I curled the petals and leaves of the flowers and foliage between my thumb and bone folder to add texture before adhering them to the card using a mixture of Mini Dimensionals and Glue Dots. The sketch includes a tag shape and I have too - granted it's a mini one, but it is the perfect size for the hello from the Sweet Blooms set. The tag is the smallest tag from the Nested Essentials set which, as the name suggests, is very useful!

Obviously I needed to add a linen thread bow, because a bouquet wouldn't be complete without one! And, finally, I added some bling in the form of holographic dots.


I hope that you are inspired by my card today and that you will continue along the hop to see what the others have created too - click on the names below to enjoy their  projects. We would love to hear from you and so if you have been inspired, please leave a comment.
