Cheery Card Idea using the Sweet Blooms Bundle
Create this cheery card idea using the Sweet Blooms Bundle by Stampin’ Up!® There’s just something about a cheerful card that makes you feel lighter—even before you put it in the mailbox. With its sunny colors, floral paper scraps, and a die-cut sentiment that feels like a smile, this is a quick project to make but it’s full of heart.
What I love about this design is that it uses scraps in a way that doesn’t feel like a scrap card. Four little squares of the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper become a mini quilt of color and pattern—each one a tiny piece of art. And even though they’re all different, they come together beautifully, especially when paired with a bold sentiment.
Enter the Sweet Blooms Bundle. That large “lovely” die cut really steals the show here. I cut it in Summer Splash to add some cool contrast to the warm Darling Duckling card base. (Isn’t that the happiest yellow?)
And of course, I couldn’t resist adding just a few of the In-Color Flat Pearls. They’re like little bubbles of joy—subtle but sparkly, and they help bring attention to the different squares without overwhelming the design. They’re one of those embellishments you’ll reach for over and over again.
The Sweet Blooms Bundle is one of those sets you’ll keep reaching for. The sentiments are warm and kind. The dies are bold but easy to use. And the style plays well with almost any paper you pair it with. Whether you go soft and romantic or bold and playful, it works.
So if your crafting mojo needs a little spark, give this cheerful card a go. It’s quick, fun, and full of possibilities—and the best part? You’ll walk away with a finished card that’s ready to brighten someone else’s day.

A Tip from Barb
This layout makes a great card set. Try mixing and matching papers from the same pack to create a full set of “lovely” cards you can gift or keep on hand. It’s one of those layouts that feels different every time depending on the papers and colors you use.
