Fun fold card – Petals of Beauty

Fun fold card – Petals of Beauty. This is the card I made during a fun craft & chat session with some mystery stamping recently. I am not terribly savvy when it comes to websites so I subscribe to a fabulous group called Build & Bloom which is a digital agency supporting small businesses with their websites and tech run by the lovely Louise Simms who is the CEO. She kindly hosted the mystery stamping session too.

What is Mystery stamping.

Mystery stamping is just that. Everyone uses whatever they have in their stash. The host simply gives you measurements for the card stock and/or pattern paper to use and the rest is up to you. At the end of the session everyone will show what they’ve created so there is a whole variety of cards.

Petals of Beauty bundle

The bundle I used is from the November 2025 online exclusive called Petals of Beauty. I also used January’s Product of the month which you can purchase for £5 subject to a single qualifying order of £70 as a one time purchase only. It is a stamp set called Fabulous Sayings. The Designer Series Papers I used are new and are from the January-April 2026 Mini on page 25 and it’s from the Lovely & Beautiful Suite Collection.
