Live with Patty! Rose & Begonia Cards
Begonias & Roses!!
I’m sure it’s no surprise that I’m sharing some beautiful floral cards with you today. The Stampin’ Up! Begonia Belle Product of the Month set, and the Sweetly Sentimental set really caught my eye. They are somewhat similar so I thought I’d share some tips and card ideas using both sets today!

The embossing folder that keeps selling out
The Stampin’ Up! Sunflower 3D embossing folder… is probably the most popular Stampin’ Up! embossing folder ever! I’m pretty sure it’s sold out and restocked at least 10 times!
I paired the Sunflower embossing folder with the new Botanical Expressions die to make 2 very colorful, vibrant cards!
Crafting Tip!
I wasn’t sure about adding the square heartfelt thanks ephemera greeting to my card, so I die cut it with the Stylish Shapes circle die!! Voila… a much better fit for my card!

Sunflower embossing folder videos
For the sunflower card below, I colored the flowers and leaves with Stampin’ Blends markers, and streaked the black ink pad over the raised areas. In case you missed it.. here are some of my previous FREE sunflower embossing folder video tutorials:
Above: I used the Peaceful Pine shimmer brush to flick green sparkles on the Granny Apple Green Botanical Expressions die cut piece. It’s layered onto Daffodil Delight cardstock to help it pop. I used a Journaling Pen to draw “shadowing”, also to make it pop!

Use Everyday Borders on Square Cards
If you’ve followed me for very long, you know I love a cute 4×4 square card!!
These sweet square cards were created with a 4-1/4″ x 8-1/2″ Thick Basic White card base (scored and folded in half) and 4×4 pieces of Crisp Cantaloupe gingham paper. I made these right after the July Online Exclusive product release and not only used the new gingham paper but also the Everyday Borders floral and scallop strips. Unfortunately, I believe these Everyday Borders have sold out (so QUICKLY!) and are not returning. Sorry about that, but I still wanted to share these with you because they are too cute!
Again, so sorry they’ve sold out so quickly!!! I’m hoping you ordered some in the first couple weeks and have a pack to play with!
I grabbed 3 colors of Stampin’ Blends markers (shown above) and colored the flowers and leaves, then cut the 12″ strip into 3 equal 4″ pieces for my cards.
I also used the scallop borders in this pack for extra added cuteness. The birthday greeting is simply stamped onto the gingham paper, but I stamped Thank You onto a Scalloped Blooms die cut.
Most Frequently Asked Question about Square Cards
Everyone always asks.. but where do you get the envelopes for square cards?
My Answer: I use the Medium Stampin’ Up! envelopes for 2 reasons. They fit the square cards just fine, and #2, they don’t need extra postage like a square envelope does.
