Hi there
One of my favourite Suites in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue is Florals in Bloom (pg 40-47). It highlights all the new 2025-2027 In Colours – Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, Cloud Cover and Secret Sea.
Our catalogues are full of inspiration and the 2024-2025 catalogue included a new feature – 22 sketch designs – to help inspire us with our creations. I decided to use #18 as my base – changing the order of the elements so that the design worked for me.


Don’t feel you have to keep exactly to the sketch – change the orientation, order or add/remove a layer. The Florals in Bloom DSP has a mix of floral designs on one side with the reverse being a more solid pattern design. I’ve mixed and matched my papers for one card and added Two-tone cardstock for the other.
This suite is a ‘mega’ suite with two stamp/die bundles. I have used the Pretty Florals bundle which is a two step image only set and my ‘go to’ sentiment set – Simply Said.
Sketches are a great way to craft so don’t forget to check out the other designs on page 22 of the 2024-2025 Annual Catalogue.
Until next time …
