If you’re looking for a thoughtful, handmade card that’s quick to put together yet elegant, this Simple Floral Sympathy Card is the perfect project. It features the beautiful “With You In Mind” stamp set from Stampin’ Up! and the gorgeous “Pretty Florals” dies for a clean, heartfelt look.

This card showcases some of the stunning 2025–2027 In Colours, including the soft and serene Secret Sea and Cloud Cover, beautifully balanced with the vibrant Strawberry Slush and gentle Pretty in Pink. I really enjoyed combining these shades to create something that feels comforting, delicate, and hopeful.

The sentiment is stamped in Secret Sea, tying it in perfectly with the background and giving the card a cohesive, soft finish. The bold floral elements bring in a pop of colour, adding warmth and personality to the design without overpowering the message.

The colours

For this project, I’ve featured some of the fabulous new 2025 In Colours. Card number 1 uses Timid Tiger and Secret Sea, while card number 2 replaces Timid Tiger with the yummy Strawberry Slush. Timid Tiger brings a bold pop of vibrant orange that’s perfect for birthdays and celebrations, and Strawberry Slush is the perfect summer pink. Secret Sea adds a soft contrast in cool, calming tones.

The pleated panel in the centre is a real showstopper! It creates depth and movement on the card front, drawing the eye to the focal point—the birthday sentiment. I love how the folds show off both the pattern and colour of the designer series paper in a completely new way.

To tie it all together, I added two sweet floral embellishments, which were fussy cut from the coordinating patterned paper. This is a great way to use up scraps and gives your card that extra handcrafted charm. The layered flowers are finished off with a touch of bling in the centre for a subtle sparkle.

Perfect for Small Treats or Table Favours

These cute gift boxes are just the right size for small treats, party favours, or even a little surprise for someone special. The milk carton-style design adds a playful twist while maintaining an elegant and polished appearance. Whether you’re prepping for a birthday party, thank you gifts, or just because, this versatile design has you covered.

Mixing Colour with Pattern

I’ve paired Strawberry Slush with bold Secret Sea and white floral patterns for a striking contrast, and Secret Sea (used on the alternative box in the video) with Strawberry Slush brings a soft, calming tone that’s equally beautiful. Adding coordinated ribbons and simple layered sentiment circles finishes the look with charm and polish.

Have you seen the Extraordinary Flora stamp and die set? It is amazing. The floral stamp is all one set, as is the die. However, it cuts out all the florals individually. There is a matching washi tape. The best bit is that the die cuts out all the individual florals from the washi tape. I don’t have the washi tape yet, but it is on my shopping list.

I coloured the images using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. They are one of my favourite colouring mediums. These images are quite small, so I didn’t do much blending.

I have an idea to share today using a stamp case from Stampin’ Up! I have loads of spare stamp cases as I don’t store my retired photopolymer in them. You can decorate the front of your album as you wish. One tip is to avoid using dimensional embellishments or rhinestones. The rhinestones poke through the plastic of the cover.

Why you will like this idea

These albums are quick and easy to make, as the stamp case gives the framework. All you need to do is create the pages and decorate as you wish. The pages can be made from any cardstock, but for ease, I used 12″ X 12″. The pages are Willow White. This is a new white cardstock to me, and I’ve fallen in love. Lovely white colour, great weight and texture.

measurements

  • Mediterranean Blooms / Lovely as Garden designer series paper (DSP) – 26.8cm X 17.6cm – 14cm X 11cm scored at 1cm on 3 sides.
  • White Willow Cardstock – 12″ X 6″ scored at 4″ & 8″ on the 12″ side.

What will you put in your album?

I’ve put photos of my garden from last year in the first album. I plan to put some family pictures in the second one, but I need to get them printed first. As there is a limited number of photos you can put in the album, I prefer to keep them themed. They are perfect for photos for a specific event, such as a birthday party.

How to Create a Suitcase Style Gift Box – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

These adorable suitcase-style gift boxes are perfect for gifting small treats or keepsakes. They’re easier to make than you might think! I designed these boxes to open like a pizza box, which gives them both charm and functionality.

How to Create a Suitcase Style Gift Box - Crafting with Ashee - Independent Stampin' Up! Demo - Lincoln UK.
How to Create a Suitcase Style Gift Box – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I used two stunning Designer Series Papers for these boxes: the warm, rustic look of the Take to the Sky DSP for the brown-toned suitcase, and the soft, vintage feel of Country Lace DSP for the blue one. These papers give the boxes a unique character—one earthy and adventurous, the other elegant and sweet.

How to Create a Suitcase Style Gift Box – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Details That Make a Difference

To give the boxes a polished, vintage-travel feel, I created corner details using Crumb Cake cardstock punched with a 1″ circle punch. Each circle was cut into quarters and adhered to the corners. This simple detail gives a lovely faux-leather trim look that adds dimension and charm.

The top of each suitcase is decorated with ephemera die cuts from the Fully Flowing and Something to Say ephemera packs. One features a “Good Luck” sentiment in green, while the other shares a cheerful “So Happy for You” message beneath a beautiful floral piece.

These little boxes would be perfect for travel-themed party favours, graduation gifts, or just as a unique way to say “thinking of you.”

measurements

  • Early Expresso / Basic Beige Cardstock – 11 1/2″ X 8″ scored at 1 1/2″ on all sides. On the 11 1/2″ side, add two extra score lines at 5″ and 6 1/2″.
  • Take to the Sky / Country Lace designers paper (DSP):
    • 4 3/4″ X 3 1/4″ X 2 pieces
    • 4 3/4″ X 1 1/4″ X 2 pieces
    • 3 1/4″ X 1 1/4″ X 2 pieces

Want to Make These Too?

Add your own creative twist by switching up the papers, colours, and sentiments. These boxes are a fantastic way to use up scraps and experiment with layers and embellishments.

How to Create a Triple-Layered Stamped Card – Tutorial

How to Create a Triple-Layered Stamped Card – Tutorial – Impressions Abloom – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

Today, I’m sharing a beautifully layered card that features one of my favourite new releases – the Impressions Abloom stamp and die bundle. For this project, I focused solely on the stamp set to create a striking triple-layered stamped card using a technique that looks intricate but is surprisingly easy to achieve.

This design is perfect for sending a heartfelt message of appreciation, and the layered effect helps the florals pop. I’ve paired bold florals and foliage with subtle matting for a clean and professional finish. If you’ve never tried this technique before, you’re in for a treat.

Stamping with the Pretty Floral Stamp Set

To begin, I cut three pieces of Basic White cardstock in graduating sizes and lightly adhered them together with a repositionable adhesive. This allowed me to stamp across all three layers at once, creating a seamless floral design that flows naturally from one panel to the next.

For the first card, the flowers were stamped in Pretty in Pink and Strawberry Slush, with the centres in Blackberry Bliss to add depth and contrast. For the foliage, I used Soft Sea Foam as a base layer and added Garden Green to bring in rich detail and dimension. I created the second card using a monochromatic colour palette. I used Coastal Cabana and Pretty Peacock for the florals and Pool Party and Lost Lagoon for the foliage.

Once the stamping was complete, I matted each layer with Secret Sea / Pretty Peacock cardstock to create crisp borders.

Measurements

  • Secret Sea / Pretty Peacock Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Basic White Cardstock:
    • 14.35cm X 10cm
    • 12.35cm X 8cm

  • Secret Sea / Pretty Peacock Cardstock:
    • 12.85cm X 8.5cm
    • 10.85cm X 6.5cm

A Finishing Touch

To complete the card, I added a sentiment that reads “I appreciate you” in Strawberry Slush ink. A few adhesive gems scattered around the card front gave it some bling without overpowering the design.

This triple-layering technique is a fantastic way to showcase your stamps and create an eye-catching focal point. It’s also very versatile—just swap out the colours and sentiment to suit any occasion.

A Simple Layout That Shines

Both cards use the same layout—a centred sentiment panel on a beautiful background—but with different colour schemes and papers to create two distinct looks.

  • Card 1 features Misty Moonlight and Cloud Cover cardstock paired with the soft florals from the Flowering Meadow designer series paper (DSP). I added the Silver and White Sheer ribbon and rhinestones for a touch of sparkle.

Today I’m sharing a fun and simple project that proves you don’t always need the matching stamp set and dies to create a gorgeous card! Using just the Thankful Garden layering stencils, some vibrant inks, and a few finishing touches, I made this beautiful floral card that’s perfect for a friend.

How I Made It

I started by layering the Thankful Garden stencils directly onto a piece of white cardstock. Using blending brushes, I added colour with a light hand, building up the intensity until I was happy with the result.

  • Highland Heather / Pretty in Pink for the lighter petals
  • Gorgeous Grape / Pretty in Pink for the deeper, detailed petal layers
  • Lemon Lime Twist for the base of the leaves
  • Granny Apple Green to highlight and add dimension to the leaves

The notches on the top of these stencils make them a breeze to line up. Of course, because they are layered, you get amazing depth without needing extra tools or tricks!

Measurements

  • Gorgeous Grape / Pretty in Pink Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm X 2 pieces

Why You Should Try This

If you’ve ever hesitated to buy layering stencils because you thought you needed the full bundle (stamps, dies, everything) — this card shows you don’t!
The stencils alone can create a full, stunning focal point. It’s quick, it’s affordable, and it gives you so much flexibility to create your custom looks.
