Are you ready for our latest Into the Blooms flower? Introducing the new and oh so beautiful Into the Blooms: Cherry Blossoms. They are just as gorgeous created from paper as they are in real life. Also, today I’m sharing the new Larger Than Life: Home dies and coordinating Home Sentiments stamp set.
These sweet Cherry Blossoms might just be my most favorite Into the Blooms die yet. I began by creating a wood grain background on the base of my card. I used the Border Bling: Tin Stitch die topped with the Weathered Wood Background stamp, stamped in Spring Moss ink.
I then added a stenciled Love to Layer: Decorative Brackets die. I used the delightful Sunburst Stencil collection over my largest bracket die cut. I then die cut the middle bracket from Sheer Basics Vellum and adhered both brackets to the center of my card. I love the Larger Than Life: Home die and coordinating sentiments…they are truly so sweet and remind me of what I feel in my home. I die cut my “Home” from white cardstock and lightly sponged ink in coordinating colors over the die cut to create an ombre look.
Next I die cut my cherry blossoms from white cardstock, sponged ink in similar colors to my “Home” die, spritzed them with water and added a bit of Distress Spray. Once they were dry, I assembled them and added them to my card front. I stamped the secondary sentiment on a die cut Tag Creations; Delightful Bunch label and added it, the rooftop, and heart to finish my card. I love how it turned out.

This next group of new products are simply delightful! The new In the Pocket Dies and Party Time stamp set make creating party invitations of any variety so easy, fun, and beautiful!
My party invitation could be used for a variety of occasions. Think baby shower, bridal shower, Mother’s Day tea party, Wedding announcement, etc. I really wanted my patterned paper to play a large role in creating this project. The in the Pocket dies are a 3-step die with 3 other options to create a decorative edge on your pocket. I love the soft, curved bracket edge, so chose that for this invitation.
I used a base of Sweet Blush cardstock followed by some Bitty Big Pale Peony paper across the bottom of my pocket. The inside uses patterned paper in a variety of coordinating prints. I used the smallest Love to Layer: Decorative Brackets die to stamp “You’re Invited” and also added some soft florals form the Sprigs & Sprays stamp set to dress it up and tie it in with my actual invitation. I attached it to a large bow and used a fun jumbo button from the Birthday Tag Kit. I used one of the Into the Blooms: Cherry Blossoms to embellish my tag too. Isn’t it cute?
My insert uses the Love to Layer: Rectangles die and two sizes for the Love to Layer: Decorative Bracket die as well as the embossed strip that fits perfectly vertically down the center of the card. I used the darling Party Time stamp set to add the party details to the inside of the pocket and embellished with more cherry blossoms and florals from Sprigs & Sprays.
These dies make creating darling pocket invitations to much fun! Just wait until you see how our designers have dressed up their pockets.
