Hello crafty friends ...
Just look at the detail in those die cuts! I adhered them to the top and bottom edges of my card, and just sat back smiling at the card. I seriously can't get over how pretty this bloom die cut is. After lightly inking the flower centres and adding some glitter, I added a popped up sentiment and those pretty crystals from Studio Katia to finish off the card front. The card base is a lovely white pearl so the card just shimmers. Ahhhhhh.
Here is a peek at the inside, with the stamps from the bundle stamped in a light yellow in behind the greeting.
I added a little more bling inside and the card was done. This one is going into my stash for when I am wanting a special Birthday Card.
I have already made five more cards using this bundle, and will be sharing those in the coming weeks.

Oh. My. Word.
I loved the Blossoms in Bloom bundle in the new Stampin' Up catalogue and now that my goodies are here, I can tell you I'm in LOVE with this set. The blooms are large - they fill the front of an A2 card - and the dies cut like butter.
I bought the set because my stamp collection is really lacking in the floral department. I don't usually buy 'more of the same', so that is why this set appealed to me. I don't have anything like it! There are two large dies in the bundle. Well there are also smaller bloom dies but for this card I just used the large ones. I die cut the outline layer from yellow card stock, then die cut the 'thicker' die from a deep yellow. I had used double sided adhesive on the outline as I didn't want to fiddle with all those tiny fine lines and glue. As I said, the dies cut easily and the two pieces lined up perfectly. When I was finished I was just in AWE at how beautiful it was.
So what did I do then? Chopped it in half, ha ha. This is a popular bundle and there are already tons of samples online. I'm certainly not the first person to do this layout, but the one that I saw first was by Suzanne Netz.
