This card was so much fun to put together. What do you think about the tempting pitcher of (might be) fruit punch? I love it! As the punch is refreshing, so are the elements I used to put this card together.
I love patterned paper. When I saw the Celebrate Together Scrapbooking Workshop Kit, I had to have it. I’m a card maker at heart, butI I thought it would be fun to see what I could do with a Workshop Kit. The Workshop Kit coordinates with the Sweet Blooms Bundle, and the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper Pack. So many possibilities!
Fun, Refreshing Colors
Here are some color combinations you can use with the Workshop Kit, or the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper, along with the Celebratory Sips Suite products.
Let’s make a card!
Pieces And Parts
I started with a Basic White top fold card base 11″ x 4 1/4″, and scored at5 1/2″.
The card front top layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″. It’s one of the cardstock sheets from the Workshop Kit. It is double sided. One side is darket than the other. For this layer, I used the lighter side of the Strawberry Slush cardstock. I found that the weight of this cardstock is great for layering!
The bottom white circle is a sticker from the Kit Sticker Sheet. The circle diameter is 3 1/2″.
I also used the floral design circle sticker from the Kit for the top circle. It measures 3″ in diameter.
The lemon slices are also stickers. They’re about an inch in diameter.
The sentiment is from the Sweet Blooms Bundle.
Below is a Sketch you can download and print. As I was creating this card, I thought it would be fun to add a sketch. It’s simpe and you can let your imagination soar with these fun circles and some patterned paper. Have fun with it.
So, pick a color palette, cut some Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper Circles, add a few lemons, and create a fun, refreshing card to celebrate Summer!

The Boho Vibes Designer Series Paper is bold and fun. I let the paper do the work in this card. The large partial rainbow pattern was my inspiration. It’s one side of a pattern in the paper pack. A quick slice with my paper trimmer and a little fussy cutting gave me the rainbow layer. Isn’t it great when that happens?
Here’s How I Did It
It doesn’t get much easier than this!
The partial blue and yellow rainbow pattern on the left side of the card front is a design directly fron the patterned paper pack. I did a little fussy cutting around the top right edge of the rainbow to create the layer.
The Secret Sea pattern on the right front of the card is another pattern from the Boho Vibes Designer Series Paper.
I used the rainbow dies from the coordinating Sunshine Vibes Bundle to create a custom raimbow element.
The large sentiment and sentiment layer are from the Linked Together Bundle.
I embellished with a few Darling Duck dots from the 2025-2927 In Color Flat Pearls. They shimmer and shine!
Now is a great time to treat yourself to the Boho Vibes Suite Collection. You’ll have fun creating bold, contrmporary card designs using the Boho Vibes Suite. It’ll work beautifully for masculine cards, as well.

I wanted to capture the elegant simplicity of the strawberry pattern from the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper. This card came together so quickly for me. I decided I wanted to cut the strawverry pattern, and the rest fell into place.
My design is simple – just layers and a large Focal Point element cluster. I used circles to soften the focal point, and keep in line with the (curcular) swirly lines in the strawberry paper. The die cut elements are from one of the sheets in the Specialty Paper Pack. They’re laser cut punch-outs. I enjoyed picking the elements I thought would work together. In this card, the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper does all the work.
Have fun with this card design by switching up some of your favotire patterns and elements.
So, let’s make a card!
Parts & Pieces
The Basic White card base is 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″.
The Old Olive mat layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
The Soft Seafoam mat layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″.
The patterned paper layer is 3 3/4″ x 5″.
The center Soft Sea Foam cardstock layer is 2 7/8″ x 3 3/4″
The gingham patterned paper layer is 2 3/4″ x 3 5/8″.
I die cut the circles. The larger circle is 2 1/4″ in diameter, and the smaller circle is about 1 1/2″ in diameter.
The elements are all punch-outs from one of the DSP Specialty sheets.
I used one of the sentiments from my Hooray For Surprises Stamp Set.
Once you adhere the layers to the card front, and attach the circles, you can arrange the elements as shown. I added a few Antique Pearls to embellish.
I hope you enjoy putting this card together as much as I did.
I thought it would be fun to create a card showcasing the products from the Linked Together Bundle. It’s in the new Mini Catalog on pages 48 and 49.
Although, I didn’t use every stamped image and die included in the Bundle, There’s a selection from each crafting category in the Bundle. I used two stamped images, five of the seven dies, and three of the five Decorative Masks in my card design.
So, let’s make a card!
Parts & Pieces
The Crumb Cake card base is 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″.
I cut a Crumb Cake cardstock layer 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ to ink a stenciled pattern. The pattern is subtle, but adds dimension to the card. The inked stencil layer also creates a “pattern repeat” with the lattice die cut layer.
I completed the inked pattern, then trimmed the cardstock layer to 3 3/4″ x 5″.
This will be the top layer for the card front.
The wood patterned paper mat layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
I used the large lattice die in the Linked Together Dies, to cut two panels – one from Early Espresso cardstock, and the second uses the wood patterned paper.
I glued the patterned paper die cut lattice to the Early Espresso lattice die cut.
This process adds dimension to the lattice layer without Dimensionals.
The sentiment layer, flowers and leaf vines are die cuts from the Dies.
I stamped a sentiment on the inside of the card and decorated it with die cut flowers.
I love, love, love the font in the Linked Together stamp set. It’s a sentiment builder stamp set with clean, large sentiments.
Once I chose my paterned paper and color palette, putting this card together was fun. Using the bright colors against a neutral background is somehting I haven’t done in a while. And the perfect match for a sentiment layer is Basic Beige – another versatile “Neutral”.
So, take a look at the Linked Together Bundle, imagine what you can do with it, and add it to your craft room shelf. This Bundle is one that has amazing possibilities.
The cards are showcasing the Regal Flora Designer Series Paper. One is a popular Fun Fold design, and the second is a quick and easy design you can use for any occasion.
Below are the Kit details:
This card kit will be available through January 31st, 2025.
You will receive everything you need to put the cards together as I’ve designed them except for adhesives.
The Kit will include the card bases, layers, die cuts, embellishments, sentiment layers, and envelopes.
I cannot send stamped images, but you will have a sentiment layer you can customize to a stamp you have.

Here’s a sweet birthday card I put together using the Happy Hibiscus Buncle. The background Designer Series Papeer is fron Sale-A-Bration. It’s called “Fruit Salad”, and is fun, bright and adorable. (Check in tomorrow to see more fruit Salad in action). A “ready to go” sentiment from the new January-April 2025 Mini Catalog, makes it quick and easy to share your sentiment. Although these products are from different areas of Stampin’ Up!’s product releases, they work together well. It’s always fun to take a look at what you have, think about how you can use the products, and create something unique to your style.
The Happy Hibiscus Buncle
The Happy Hibiscus Bundle is available in the Online Exclusives. It’s a “Hybrid” Bundle that includes a stamp set, coordinating dies, and a 3-D embossing folder. There’s a large die that fits into the embossing folder that allows you to die cut and emboss the flowers at the same time.
The Happy Hibiscus Stamp Set is a two-step set. You can stamp the outline image, and use the “fill” stamp to add color to the flower. In today’s sample, I chose to stamp the flowers without the fill stamp.
The Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper
This is one of the FREE Sale-A-Bration patterned paper packs with a $60 product purchase. There are 48 sheets of 6″ x 6″ double-sided patterned paper. One side is fruit-themed, and the other side has simple designs in fun colors you can use for backgrounds or layers.
Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack
As soon as I saw this Ephemera Pack in the upcoming January-April Mini Catalog, I put it at the top of my list. There are six sheets of punch out sentiments, four black lettering on white, and two white lettering on black. You can see, I used the white on black in my card and love the look!
Let’s Make A Card!
I cut a Thick Basic White card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored it at 4 1/4″.
The Basic Black cardstock layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″.
The patterned paper layer is 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″.
The Basic Black cardstock circle is die cut from one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies. It measures about 3″ in diameter.
I adhered the layers to the card base, and attached the element cluster using Dimensionals.
