Kintsugi Inspiration Card with the Forever Florals Bundle
Aug 5, 2026
Handmade thinking of you card featuring the Stampin' Up! Forever Florals Bundle and Kintsugi Inspiration Designer Series Paper. The card uses a Misty Moonlight card base with three vertical panels of coordinating blue and gold foil patterned paper. A layered "You're on My Mind" sentiment label is accented with an intricate gold foil floral die cut, banner tails, and gold adhesive-backed dots, creating an elegant all-occasion card.

Forever Florals Bundle fans will want to pay close attention to this week’s project! During my Wednesday Live, I created a clean and elegant card featuring the retiring Forever Florals Bundle and the beautiful Kintsugi Inspiration Designer Series Paper, both of which are now on Stampin’ Up!’s Last Chance List.

In addition to making this card, I also shared one of the best values currently available during the Last Chance Sale. If you’ve been thinking about adding the Forever Florals Bundle to your craft room, you’ll definitely want to watch the replay before these products are gone.

Why I Love the Forever Florals Bundle

The star of this week’s project is the Forever Florals Bundle. While the floral images are beautiful, it’s the coordinating label dies that make this bundle a favorite of mine.

The set includes three elegant label shapes that work beautifully with a wide variety of sentiments, making them a versatile addition to almost any cardmaking project. Throughout the live, I shared how often I reach for these dies, even when I’m not using the floral images.


Featuring the Kintsugi Inspiration Designer Series Paper

Today’s card also showcases the Kintsugi Inspiration Designer Series Paper, another retiring favorite.

The paper features rich shades of Misty Moonlight and Cloud Cover accented with gorgeous gold foil details inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi. Instead of using one large piece of patterned paper, I cut three narrow strips and mounted each one on a slim White Willow mat.

Arranging the strips side by side creates a clean, modern design while allowing the beautiful foil patterns to shine.

As an added bonus, select Designer Series Papers are currently 15% off, making this a wonderful time to stock up before they’re gone.


Building the Card

This design starts with a Misty Moonlight card base layered with a panel of Cloud Cover cardstock.

The three matted Designer Series Paper strips are evenly spaced across the card front, creating a balanced background that’s simple to assemble and easy to adapt using any favorite paper collection.

To finish the inside, I added a layer of White Willow cardstock. I like doing this whenever I use a darker card base because it provides a clean surface for writing a personal message.


An Elegant Layered Sentiment

The sentiment, “You’re on My Mind,” is stamped on one of the decorative labels from the Forever Florals Bundle.

To add even more interest, I die cut the coordinating decorative accent from Gold Foil cardstock and tucked it behind the label at an angle. The openwork design allows the gold to peek through without overpowering the sentiment.

I also added two small banner tails behind the label using the Triple Banner Punch. Rather than placing the sentiment directly in the center of the card, the banners visually connect it to the third Designer Series Paper strip, creating a sense of movement across the entire design.


Cardmaking Tips from the Live

One of my favorite parts of each Wednesday Live is sharing little tips that make crafting easier.

This week included several helpful techniques:

Releasing Intricate Die Cuts

If you’ve ever had a detailed die cut get stuck inside your die, don’t worry—it happens!

I demonstrated how to use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip to quickly loosen intricate pieces and remove any tiny paper bits left behind. Cleaning those openings before your next cut helps ensure crisp, clean die cuts every time.

Protect Your Punches

When using the Triple Banner Punch, avoid inserting very narrow strips of cardstock.

Punches are designed to support the cardstock as they’re cutting, so leaving enough material around the cutting area helps them perform better and can extend the life of your punch.


A Sneak Peek at New Gold Adhesive-Backed Dots

I couldn’t resist ending the project with a little sneak peek!

Coming in the new September–December Catalog are Gold Adhesive-Backed Dots, and I think they’re going to become a staple in my craft room.

One feature I especially love is that every dot is the same size, making embellishing quick and effortless. No sorting through multiple sizes—just peel, place, and enjoy a beautiful finishing touch.


The Best Deal on the Last Chance List

Before wrapping up the live, I shared what I believe is the best value currently available on the Last Chance List.

The 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat Box has been reduced by 50%, from $165 to $82.50.

The retreat includes:

  • The Forever Florals Bundle
  • An additional exclusive stamp set
  • Supplies for 15 beautiful projects
  • Step-by-step video tutorials
  • Printed instructions
  • Coordinating embellishments

Considering that the Forever Florals Bundle alone retailed for nearly $50, this retreat box is an incredible value for anyone who enjoys cardmaking and wants a complete creative experience.


Don’t Wait Too Long

Because these products are on the Last Chance List, they’re available only while supplies last.

If the Forever Florals Bundle, the Kintsugi Inspiration Designer Series Paper, or the Virtual Card Making Retreat Box have caught your eye, now is the perfect time to add them to your collection before they’re gone.
