🌷 Throwback Thursday – Flowering Tulips for Mother’s Day 🌷

Leave a comment April 17, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

It’s time for another Throwback Thursday, and today’s card is all about celebrating the wonderful moms in our lives! I pulled out one of my favourite retired sets—Flowering Tulips—to create a soft and lovely Mother’s Day card. While this stamp set is no longer available, I paired it with some fabulous Last Chance Products that you can still get your hands on… and they’re on sale!

Here’s what I used:

Retired: Flowering Tulips Stamp Set & Dies (still a go-to for floral elegance)
On Sale & Retiring:
– 2024–2026 In Color 6″x6″ DSP (I used the Pretty In Pink stripes)
– 2024–2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (a subtle sparkle that ties it all together!)
Cardstock: Basic Gray (just a reminder—cardstock prices are increasing after May 6, so now is the perfect time to stock up!)
Ink Colors: Pretty In Pink, Bubble Bath, Soft Sea Foam, Basic Gray

The sentiment combo is one of my favourites—“Love You So Much” layered with a stitched banner for “Happy Mother’s Day.” Soft, sweet, and perfect for spring.

💡 TIP: This layout works beautifully with any floral set, so feel free to CASE this card using something from your current collection!

🛒 Don’t Forget:
– Grab the In Color DSP and Shimmer Gems while they’re still available!
– Stock up on your go-to coloured cardstock before the price increase on May 6!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #381 – Colour Challenge

2 Comments January 25, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge is an awesome Colour Challenge. Take a look at all the beautiful cards created by our design team and then join the challenge.

I used the Flowering Tulips Bundle and a great gift card holder design by Erica Cerwin.

To create the basic card base I used Petal Pink Cardstock: 5-1/2″ X 11″, score the long side at 3-3/8″ from each end, then cut out the top corners leaving a 3″ tall door at the bottom.

Next I die cut the tulip petals out of Petal Pink and Basic White cardstock and used a Blending Brush to add Pumpkin Pie Ink to the flowers.

I put the tulip petal pieces together using Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots. I stamped some stems using Soft Sea Foam on a 2″ X 3-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock and attached the tulips above them.

The tulips and the sentiment were attached to the front flap using Dimensionals. The Basic White rectangle, DSP layer and the blank cardstock to write on were attached with Tear and Tape afterwards so they could be lined up to create a border around the tulips.

When I attached the cloud layer I used Tear and Tape around the edges only to create a pocket for a gift card.

The finished card fits nicely in a regular Medium Basic White Envelope and perfectly hides the gift card inside.

All of the supplies I used are listed below. You can place an order by contacting me directly or clicking on the image(s) below.

Petal Pink 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock $12.00	Basic White 8 1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock $13.25	Flowering Fields 12” X 12” (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper $15.75	Flowering Tulips Bundle (English) $72.00	Scalloped Contours Dies $48.00
