Hello again crafty friends. It’s lovely to be back. One of the things I am concentrating on in my Stampin’ Up! up business right now is to blog more again. The main reason is that I really enjoy writing and always have a nice feeling when I have had the chance to share some creations with you here. I have set myself a minimum of once a week, but the last couple of weeks I have managed to exceed that so going well. Encouragement to keep writing is always welcome, so let me know if you are still here and enjoying my posts. So let’s get into todays post.

How beautiful is this Stampin’ Up! Delicate Dreams Specialty DSP? It’s been so popular, having to be reordered several times since it was released in the March 2026 Online Exclusives. You get twelve double sided 12×12″ designs so it’s perfect for scrapbooking too. I would definitely grab a pack from my Online Store while it’s still in stock. The colour palette is SO beautiful. Included in the coordinating colours are Hydrangea Hue, Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow, Gray Granite and Secret Sea. Additionally there is some beautiful bronze foiled foliage on one side of the double sided designs. Here’s a look at the 12 sheet 12×12″ pack. You can find it HERE in my online store, or HERE as part of the Delicate Dreams Suite.

Card Ideas using the Delicate Dreams Specialty DSP

Wedding Card

The first card I want to show you is a wedding card.

The base card is Crumb Cake, and that’s the largest stitched circle die in the Stylish Shapes dies (attached with Dimensionals). I wish I could tell you which stamp set the wedding sentiment is from, but I made this card in March in the middle of moving into the new house, and it must be one that has since retired. Sorry! It is stamped in Secret Sea if that helps.

To make the embellishment cluster, I layer a linen thread bow and then some die cuts from the Petals of Beauty dies (in Copper and one of the DSP sheets). Fussy cut the flower from the DSP and crumpled it up in your hand before opening out and adhering with Dimensionals. Finally add some Antique Pearl embellishments around the sentiment.

Wishing You Good Things Card

My second card uses one of my past sketches, which you can download an imperial and metric version for in this 2025 Christmas Card blog post. It’s a sketch I use often.

For the centrepiece on this card I have used the Helping Me Grow dies. I really love how you can poke the foliage and flowers into the flower pot. I used a really simple colouring technique on these dies using sponge daubers. You can view how I did that in this video.

Birthday Card

This final card I have for you is one I blogged back in May, but it deserves a spot in this blog post too as it shows off additional ways to use the Delicate Dreams DSP.

The ovals and dragonfly in this card are from the current Scalloped Wishes bundle. The centre DSP is one of the patterns on the reverse of the florals. So pretty. I cut some more flowers from the DSP to finish off the card.

I hope you like these three cards. The Delicate Dreams Specialty DSP pack. I would definitely grab a pack in my online store if you love pretty papers.
