Happy Saturday, crafty friends! 🌸 Popping in to share some beautiful cards that I recently created using a plethora of goodies from Simon Says Stamp that I hadn't had a chance to use yet. Among these treasures is the gorgeous Cherry Blossom embossing folder, which adds such lovely texture and dimension to the designs. Cherry Blossoms hold a special place in my heart, as they remind me of my sweet daughter, Ellie, in Heaven.
And here's some exciting news! This weekend, Simon Says Stamp is offering 20% off on all Simon branded embossing folders! 🎉 It's the perfect opportunity to treat yourself to some new folders with some fantastic savings. 🥰

Easy step by step instruction:
- Create (2) A2 card bases from white cardstock.
- Emboss the Cherry Blossom embossing folder to pale pink and light pink A2 sized cardstock panels.
- Ink blend a selection of flowers on each panel with Cherry Blossom ink.
- Diecut (3) flowers from the light pink panel, as close to the edge of each panel as possible. Then diecut with a hexagon.
- Diecut a ivory glitter frame using two hexagon dies.
- Mount both to a card front, popping the frame up with thin foam strips.
- Trim the pale pink embossed panel to 4" x 5.25", then mount to a card front.
- Diecut the Dancing Floral Vine elements from white cardstock, place on a grip mat, ink blend the pieces in Warm Buff, Cherry Blossom & Mint.
- Assemble the vine, and trim in order to use it on both cards.
- Stamp the sentiments to white cardstock in Espresso ink, then diecut.
- Arrange the floral vine pieces to each card front as shown, trimming excess as needed.
- Attach the sentiments to the front, popping some up with thin foam strips.
- Accent with light pink iridescent jewels to finish.
I hope you enjoyed this little burst of crafting inspiration! 🌸✨ Creating these cherry blossom cards was such a joy, and I can't wait to see what beautiful designs you come up with. I was especially inspired by my bestie, Heather, who went live yesterday featuring other Simon Says Stamp embossing folders. It was her first live on her own channel, and it was super inspiring! 💖 I hope you'll catch the replay if you missed it live - you can find Heather at Houses Built of Cards on YouTube.
