IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS SALE: The Online Cart computer will not think like our (my!) brain thinks so in getting the BOGO 50% off price, think in terms of similarly priced items. The Cart will discount the lowest priced item(s) of Suites in your cart. If you order two Suites, you get 50% off the lower-priced Suite. If you order ribbon in a Suite and add it on the same order as the Suites, the Cart will discount the ribbon since it is the lowest-priced item, not the second Suite that you were “pairing” in your mind with the first Suite as the one you wanted as a discount. If you order two Suites and two rolls of ribbon, the Cart will discount the two rolls of ribbon, not one Suite and one roll of ribbon. Get it?! It’s still a great sale, we just have to have our thinking caps on and I did not until I saw this in a forum online! But you can add items NOT in Suites because they won’t qualify to be discounted anyway. ALSO: The Last Chance list has been updated so you might find more discounts. Go check! The Sale includes Annual Catalog Suites, Online Exclusives Suites (and preorder of new ones for Demos), and Last Chance Suites.
Today, June 3rd, is the first day of the Stampin’ Up! Suite Sale – BOGO Suite or Suite product and get one Suite or Suite product 50% off with the lower price discounted! This special new promotion from Stampin’ Up! started today but goes the whole month of June! You can read more of the details on my blog post yesterday HERE.
I made this Florals In Bloom Foldover Birthday Card to commemorate this new special for all of us. For example, if you loved this designer series paper in the Florals In Bloom Suite and you also wanted one of the Bundles, you could buy the Bundle and get the designer paper 50% off! Or you could purchase the whole Florals In Bloom Suite and then choose another Suite 50% off! Mixing and matching is allowed as long as they are Suites or products within a Suite. So you can buy one pack of designer paper in one suite and choose another designer paper in another suite and get the lower-priced one 50% off! So even though the sale is about “Suites”, it’s all pretty flexible as long as the product is contained in a Suite or the Suite itself.
This card has a Darling Duckling cardstock base. Darling Duckling is one of the new In Colors for 2025-2027. But this card is folded a little differently just to make it interesting! The card base is cut at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ as usual. Instead of scoring in the middle, this card has an extra little side fold. I don’t know what the correct term is if there is one, but I’m calling it the “Foldover” card. Score at 1 1/4″ and 5 1/4″. Fold and crease the score lines. This will give you a fold over on the right which meets the front of the card. That narrow fold can overlap the card front or tuck under. For my card, I will tuck it under the focal point of the card with the greeting. You can do it either way.
The Florals In Bloom Designer Series Paper is cut at 3″ x 5 1/4″ for the front of the card. The fold on the right side has the other side of the patterned paper and is cut at 1″ x 5 1/4″. If you want to put a Basic White cardstock inside, it would be cut at 3 3/4″ 5 1/4″.
For the focal point of the card, I diecut a large circle in the Spotlight On Nature Dies in Basic White cardstock. I love these dies with the bordered edge designs! I cut out several of the flowers with my Paper Snips scissors to decorate the diecut. The greeting is stamped in Strawberry Slush ink and diecut using the More Messages Bundle. You can do one greeting at a time or stamp the whole stamp at one time and cut out all the messages at one time, then save them. I also added a few of the Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems. The greeting is popped up on the diecut circle and the circle is also popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. If you want the side fold to tuck under the circle, it might be better to not pop it up with Dimensionals, but it is okay.
Now that you have been inspired with the beautiful Florals In Bloom Designer Series Paper, it’s time to go check out the Suite Sale! You will earn Stampin’ Rewards on any order over $20 as always to use on a future purchase. And if you already have Stampin’ Rewards, you can apply them to your order. You don’t have to do the math on the discounted products. The discount will appear in your cart once you’ve added two items within the sale parameters to your cart. And your Rewards will be based on the discounted total of your whole order.
