The Delicate Flowers of Lily of the Valley

The new 2026 May-August Catalogue has a beautiful Valley in Bloom Suite Collection. It includes a stamp and die bundle (Lily of the Valley), Valley in Bloom Designer Series Paper, Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder, Luxe White Specialty Designer Series Paper as well as Shimmering Dots embellishments. I showcased the embossing folder in an earlier post. Today I am concentrating on the Lily of the Valley Bundle.

Card 1: My first card is a CASE of one of the cards on page 23 of the catalogue. The card base is Very Vanilla with a layer of Very Vanilla embossed with the Floral Spray 3D EF. The flowers were die cut from Basic White and coloured with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. Pretty Peacock two-tone cardstock provides the central torn layer and the abstract pieces were die cut from Blackberry Bliss cardstock. The sentiment from Fabulous Sayings was heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.

Card 2: I took some of the design items for this one from another of the cards on page 23 of the catalogue. The card base is Coastal Cabana. Pieces of the Valley in Bloom DSP were layered. The top piece was embossed with the Floral Spray 3D EF and lightly sanded to highlight the embossing. The flowers and leaves were die cut with Basic White and coloured with Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. Again the abstract piece was die cut with Blackberry Bliss cardstock. The delicate flowers have Wink of Stella for sparkle and some of the Shimmering Dots were added.

Card 3: The card base is Lost Lagoon. A layer of Pretty Peacock two-tone cardstock had a 2¼” circle punched at the top and the bottom half was embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D EF and then added to the card base with Foam Adhesive Sheets. This time the die cut images were coloured with Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. The sentiment is from Fabulous Sayings.

Card 4: The Basic Beige card base was layered with Secret Sea cardstock and then a piece of Valley in Bloom DSP which was embossed with the Floral Spray 3D EF and sanded for added texture. The flowers were stamped with Secret Sea ink on Basic White and the leaves die cut from Granny Apple Green. A circle of vellum was added behind the flowers. Fabulous Sayings again provides the sentiment.

Card 5: This elegant sympathy card was made with Very Vanilla and Blackberry Bliss. I used the Eyelet Blooms Die as an embossing folder for the background layer. The floral sprig was stamped with Secret Sea ink and then I added a dot of Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers to the top of each bloom. The sentiment from Country Flowers was heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.
