If you’re looking for a burst of color to usher in spring, look no further than Stampin’ Up!’s Flowering Zinnias Suite. The Simply Zinnia stamp set and coordinating dies accent so well with the colorful and gorgeous Flowering Zinnias 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. See this blog post for other card samples showcasing the DSP.

Today, I share a card using the dies from the Simply Zinnia dies. These versatile dies help you build flowers to accent your greeting cards and projects. Be sure to watch the video at the end of this post that views a look at how some of the dies actually work.

As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I received the opportunity to preorder the new goodies. The first stamp set on my order was the Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set.
I love the font, and I love the fact that it includes the sentiments I use the most. For today’s card samples, I paired the stamp set with another Online Exclusive, the Flowering Zinnias 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. This double-sided, patterned paper sports such vibrant colors, I just had to use it. This Designer Series Paper is really the star of the show!
