Card kits (8 total, 2 each of 4 different designs, see sneak peek above!).
Cardmaking supplies (the consumable type, valued at @$22, so use them up!).

Order The Featured Bundle & Save

Since I will not be stamping for you using the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set, or
die cutting for you with the Irresistible Blooms Dies, you may want your
own set! (Of course, these cards will look amazing using whatever stamps, dies
or punches you have on hand too.)

After you sign up for the March Club Kit, I will contact you to see if you
would like the featured bundle at the catalog price (that is @16% savings, I
am paying tax and shipping!). You just need to let me know if you would like to
add this item to your March Club Kit and you will receive a separate invoice for the Irresistible Blooms Bundle.

Don’t Delay On The March Kit

The deadline to start your subscription to the Cardmaker Collective Club and get the March Club Kit is March 15, 2023. If you sign up after March 15th, you will be receiving the April Club Kit.

This is an auto-renew club, your card will be charged every month on or around the same date that you first sign up. But, you have the option to cancel you membership at any time. Try it once, or keep receiving the kits!

If you continue to receive kits monthly, after 6 consecutive kits, I am gifting you with a $25 reward certificate, good on any current merchandise in my online Stampin’ Up! store. That is your club benefit!

Irresistible Blooms Hello Card

March 2, 2023

Irresistible Blooms Card Class, Card 3

Irresistible Blooms Hello Card

We are on to the last card from my Weekly Card Class From ME, featuring the Irresistible Blooms Bundle by Stampin’ Up!. While it is always fun to play with flower stamps and dies with bright, pretty colors…

Wait a minute! My Weekly Card Class From ME has a lot of black, white and gray colors. Not the usual collection of inspiring hues associated with floral cards.

In fact, this Irresistible Blooms Hello Card doesn’t even showcase a flower from the Irresistible Blooms Bundle. Need to see my last Irresistible Blooms Card? Check out the previous card class here.

Beautiful Black

This card certainly has a lot of black and very little other color involved. It is actually hard to notice some of the details of this card from the picture. But when you hold this one in your hands, it is more obvious that there are a lot of interesting layers here.

The Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper and Black and White Gingham Ribbon are perfect for this black and white themed card. I also added a small dash of pink from the Loose Frosted Dots Embellishments.

Irresistible Blooms Dies

It’s time to talk about the awesome Irresistible Blooms Dies again! I used the round die that cuts into your paper and leaves an elegant trail of lines and dots in my first card from this online class. If you missed it, you may read more about it here.

This time, I chose to play with the long, narrow die that leaves behind a string of lines and dots that somehow magically hold together. It really is quite unbelievable! My video demonstration shows the die cutting, clean up and use of this intricate piece. Watch my video here.

Ever Lovely Black and Pink

While my black die cut may not show up the best on camera from the black on black card, it certainly has some flair when added to a pink layer! How fantastic is my color swap card here? Even the new Basics 3D Embossing Folder shows up better with Blushing Bride.

This Irresistible Blooms Hello Card is the last one card in my featured class this week. If you would like to see the video from my online class, click this link . For more details on what is in this week’s class from Maine and how to get yours, click here.

I have been sharing bonus cards using the Irresistible Blooms Card Class this week. Be sure to follow me, The Maine Stamper, on FaceBook, for more cardmaking inspiration and ideas. And keep an eye on my Pinterest account for project pictures too.

Irresistible Blooms Hooray Card

March 1, 2023

Irresistible Blooms Bundle Card Class, Card 2

We are on to the next card from my Weekly Card Class From ME, featuring the Irresistible Blooms Bundle, by Stampin’ Up!. This exclusive bundle was just released to the public today as part of a new Online Exclusive offering.

And just like our first card from this class, I am using very neutral colors. Need to see my first Irresistible Blooms Card? Check out the previous card class here.

Basic 3D Embossing Folders

Perhaps you really noticed the embossed cardstock on my Irresistible Blooms Hooray Card. Each of my cards from this class showcases one of three of the newly released embossing folders. As part of my gift to you with your qualifying order in my online store this week, I am sending you embossed panels of cardstock, along with other things! Get more details here.

What makes these Basic 3D Embossing Folders so different? First, they are sold as a 3 pack! This is the first time Stampin’ Up! has offered embossing folders like this. And while they are the regular 4 x 6″ size, they are also the 3D style, leaving deep impressions in your cardstock for lots of texture.

TIPS For Using 3D Embossing Folders

Here are a few helpful things you may want to remember when using 3D Embossing Folders:

A Splash of (Old) Color

While my card is mostly black and white, there is also a splash of color…and one of these colors may be a little familiar. Recently, Stampin’ Up! announced some returning retired colors, and Pretty Peacock is featured on my flower.

I found that a great way to use the stamp images in the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set is to heat emboss them. So that is just what I did. I used White Embossing Powder on colorful cardstock for easy add-ons to my card.

This Irresistible Blooms Hooray Card is just one card in my featured class this week. If you would like to see the video from my online class, click this link . For more details on what is in this week’s class from Maine and how to get yours, click here.

I will be sharing more cards from the Irresistible Blooms Card Class, as well as my bonus cards, as this week goes on. Be sure to check back here or follow me, The Maine Stamper, on FaceBook, for more cardmaking inspiration and ideas.

Irresistible Blooms Thank You Card

February 28, 2023

Irresistible Blooms Card Class, Card 1

Irresistible Blooms Thank You Card

Join me this week as I take a look at the Irresistible Blooms Bundle by Stampin’ Up!. It is all part of my Card Class From ME. If you missed the live video assembly of my card kits, check it out here.

What is so special about another flower stamp set and dies, you may be wondering. To begin, this brand new bundle is part of Online Exclusives, debuting on March 1. There will be products that will not be in any catalog. You will need to find them in the online store, which is something new and fresh.

And to get more of the details on how awesome these new products are, check out my post for my thoughts on the stamp set and dies by clicking here.

Perfectly Penciled

While each of my cards from the Irresistible Blooms Class is very neutral in color (notice that I used Basic Gray for this card!), I also shared some more colorful options during my live demo, using different cardstock panels and designer series paper from the upcoming Hello, Irresistible 6 x 6″ DSP.

For the offered card kits in the mail with a qualifying purchase with me this week using Host Code AKJJUXXN, I have chosen a very neutral designer series paper pack, Perfectly Penciled, to work in. These fun patterns are easy to add color to if you have the mind to do so!

Basic Gray

Basic Gray is elegant, and not always somber, as this card proves. I stamped my flower and leaves images in Basic Gray Ink before sponging on color to add a nice splash of brightness. My color palette includes So Saffron, Blushing Bride and Cajun Craze for the flower, and Old Olive for the leaves.

But of course, there are a lot of other colors the flower could be! And I love to play with color, so expect a another color swap card coming soon.

This Irresistible Blooms Thank You Card is just one card in my featured class this week. If you would like to see the video from my online class, click this link . For more details on what is in this week’s class from Maine and how to get yours, click here.

Irresistible Blooms Card Class

February 27, 2023

Your Weekly Card Class From ME

Welcome to your Irresistible Blooms Card Class! This week, I am using the Irresistible Blooms Bundle by Stampin’ Up!. This set is so new it hasn’t even officially been released yet…but it will be in just a couple of days (mark your calendar for March 1 for Online Exclusives, like this bundle and more!).

Missed my last card class? Click this link to see more from the Silly Goose Conversation Bubbles Card Class.

The Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set

The Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set is all about flowers. In fact, 2 of the images are large floral designs that you can use in a variety of ways. This set also boasts some great greenery and a splotch stamp (one of my favorite kinds!).

I love when font in sentiments is fun and playful. The sentiments in this stamp set really fit this description. Take a look at the adorable curves and lines that make up these words for yourself!

The Irresistible Blooms Dies

The Irresistible Blooms Dies are so much fun to use! While you have your basic flower and leaf die cut options to match the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set, there is so much more in store.

The large circle with dotted vine-like lines actually cuts into your paper leaving the image you see above. Don’t expect to get a die cut circle out of this one! And the long dotted twig-like die leaves an intricate array of lines that almost defy a solid layering piece once die cut. You have to see them in action…check out my live cardmaking demo here.
