Create 2 Cards with the Impressions Plate from Stampin’ Up!
During Wednesday’s Facebook Live, I had fun playing with some beautiful new products and creating two cards that showcase just how versatile the Frames & Phrases Bundle and Opulent Oasis Bundle can be!
Both cards use the gorgeous texture created with the Impressions Plate, which adds that extra layer of detail without overpowering the design. I love how an embossed background can turn simple layers into something really special.
You can watch the replay of Wednesday’s Facebook Live on my Id Rather Bee Stampin’ Facebook page and craft along with me.
The first card features a fun mix of colors and patterns! I paired Hydrangea Hue with Peaceful Pine and the playful polka dots from the Painted Patterns Subtles Designer Series Paper. The frame from the Frames & Phrases Bundle creates the perfect focal point for the sentiment, while the little details from the Dreamy Flowers add a cheerful pop of color.
For the second card, I leaned into a soft monochromatic look using Barely Blush with layers of texture and dimension. The beautiful floral image from the Opulent Oasis Bundle was embossed and layered over the delicate frame, creating an elegant card with a soft, feminine feel. A touch of Linen Thread and a few In Color Dots finish it off perfectly.

4 Cards with a Super Fun Designer Series Paper Background
Yesterday’s Facebook Live was all about creating fun, textured backgrounds with Designer Series Paper, and these cards were such a joy to make! The top two cards feature the gorgeous Moonlit Flora Suite Collection, with rich greenery, layered die cuts, and those moody botanical patterns that feel like a walk through a secret garden at dusk. 🌿✨
For both cards, I used strips of Designer Series Paper to create a dimensional background that adds so much interest without a lot of extra work. It’s a fantastic way to use up smaller pieces of paper while still creating a design that looks detailed and unique.
I layered in fern die cuts, twine, embellishments, and the sweetest little moth accents to finish everything off. The soft greens paired with the deep floral prints create such an earthy, elegant feel.
I also shared a couple of additional samples during the Live using the same background technique with different Suite Collections. The Winnie the Pooh inspired card uses the adorable Silly Old Bear Suite Collection and has the coziest storybook charm. The soft browns and simple layout make Pooh and Piglet the stars of the show. 🐻
The final card features the Velvet Meadow Suite Collection with soft florals, delicate texture, and dreamy pastel tones. This one has such a light and airy feel compared to the rich Moonlit Flora cards, proving this technique works beautifully with almost any paper style.
One of my favorite things about this layout is how versatile it is. Whether you love bold botanicals, whimsical characters, or soft florals, changing the paper completely transforms the look. It’s a little paper magic trick hiding in plain sight.

2 Gorgeous Cards with the Lily of the Valley Bundle
There’s something quietly charming about Lily of the Valley cards. They feel like tiny paper bouquets tucked into an envelope, delicate, elegant, and timeless all at once. 🌿
During yesterday’s Facebook Live, I shared these two cards featuring the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Valley in Bloom Suite Collection and the Lily of the Valley Bundle that’s part of the suite. Both cards may use the same florals, but they each tell a completely different story!
One of my favorite things about the Valley in Bloom Suite is how versatile it is. You can create soft and feminine cards, clean and simple designs, or even vintage-inspired projects just by changing the papers and colors. The Lily of the Valley Bundle steals the show with those gorgeous dies that do so much of the work for you. It’s the kind of bundle that makes you want to keep creating “just one more card.” 🌸
If you missed the live, be sure to catch the replay and see all the layering, texture, and little details up close. Which card is your favorite: the soft pink arch design or the fresh green botanical version?
The first card leans soft and dreamy with blush pink layers, embossed texture, and sweet little blooms nestled inside an arched frame. I love how the embossed background adds depth without taking away from the simplicity of the design. Add a bit of ribbon and a few embellishments, and it becomes one of those cards that feels extra special without being overly complicated.
The second card has a fresher, more botanical feel with the patterned paper backdrop and layered die-cut stems. The white floral die cuts almost float against the green leaves, giving the card a light and airy look. A simple twine bow finishes it off with just the right touch of cottage garden charm.
