Oh, this one was FUN! 🌸
Today I’m combining the gorgeous Stampin’ Up! Bloom Boutique Suite Collection with a fun fold that I think you’re going to want to try—the Square Corner Fun Fold!
I love finding card folds that look impressive but are still completely doable, and this one checks all the boxes. You get lots of opportunities to show off beautiful Designer Series Paper, add layers and embellishments, and still have plenty of room inside for your message.
And, of course, I didn’t want to just show you the finished card…
✂️ I created a step-by-step tutorial AND a Square Corner Fun Fold template so you can make one right along with me!

One Fun Fold—Three Completely Different Cards!
Today’s Bloom Boutique card is actually Card #1 in a three-card series I’m sharing this week.
I’ve created two more cards using this exact same Square Corner Fun Fold, but I’ve changed the stamps, papers, colors, and personality of each one.
I love doing this because sometimes we see a card design and think we need the exact products used to recreate it.
You don’t!
A good card template can become a jumping-off point for all kinds of projects using the supplies you already have—or those beautiful new products you just couldn’t resist adding to your craft room. 😉
So hang onto today’s template.
Cards #2 and #3 are coming later this week! 👀
🌸 Let’s Talk About Bloom Boutique
Now let’s talk about the star of today’s card—the Stampin’ Up! Bloom Boutique Suite Collection.
Pretty petals, sweet stamps and scallops for days!
Bloom Boutique is filled with soft florals, beautiful patterned papers, delicate stamped images and playful scalloped details. It’s one of those collections that makes it incredibly easy to sit down and start creating because everything has been designed to coordinate.
The suite is perfect for much more than cards, too. Use it for scrapbook pages, memory keeping, gift packaging, treat boxes and other paper crafting projects.
And the color palette? So pretty!
🌸 Barely Blush
🍑 Crisp Cantaloupe
☀️ Golden Glow
💜 Hydrangea Hue
🌲 Peaceful Pine
✨ Gold
The softer colors combined with Peaceful Pine and Hydrangea Hue give you so many possibilities—and those little touches of gold make the collection feel extra special.
✨ Bloom Boutique Specialty Designer Series Paper
Can we talk about pretty paper for a minute?
The Bloom Boutique 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper includes 12 sheets—two each of six double-sided designs.
But what makes this paper extra special is the gold foil detailing. ✨
That little touch of shine can make even a simple card feel special without adding a lot of extra work.
And because the paper is acid and lignin free, it’s photo-safe, making it a beautiful choice for scrapbook pages and memory keeping too.
Today’s Square Corner Fun Fold is a perfect example of why I love using Designer Series Paper with fun folds.
You get to see so much more of that beautiful paper!
🌼 Boutique Blossoms Stamps & Dies
The Boutique Blossoms Photopolymer Stamp Set includes 14 stamps and features both Two-Step stamping and Stampin’ Up!’s beautiful Distinktive style.
Two-Step stamping lets you layer images and colors to create beautiful floral combinations and add depth to your projects.
Pair the stamp set with the Boutique Blossoms Dies, which include 14 dies for creating beautiful flowers, greenery and layered accents.
The largest die measures approximately 2″ x 2-1/16″, and these dies are also compatible with the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
That makes them especially handy when you’re working with smaller floral pieces and embellishments.
💕 Scallops for Days!
You know I love a pretty detail, and Bloom Boutique definitely delivers with its scallops!
The Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set includes nine stamps, and the coordinating Scalloped Blooms Dies include 14 dies.
The largest die is an impressive 5″ x 5″!
That gives us so many possibilities for creating card fronts, backgrounds, frames, scrapbook elements and gorgeous layered focal points.
You’ll see those beautiful scalloped layers put to work on today’s Square Corner Fun Fold card.
And even better—the Scalloped Blooms stamps and dies are available together at a 10% savings.
🎁 Don’t Forget the Scalloped Window Boxes
Bloom Boutique isn’t just for cards!
The suite also includes Scalloped Window Boxes.
You receive eight stampable boxes measuring approximately 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ x 1″ when folded.
They’re clear and white, food safe and just waiting to be dressed up!
Imagine filling them with:
🍬 A few favorite treats
🎁 A tiny handmade gift
🌸 Party favors
💕 A little “thinking of you” surprise
✂️ Craft retreat goodies
Add some Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper, a stamped flower and a butterfly and you’ve got an adorable coordinated gift.
🦋 The Sweetest Finishing Touch
And then there are the butterflies!
The 2026–2028 In Color Butterflies include 180 adhesive-backed pieces in two sizes.
You’ll receive butterflies in:
🌸 Barely Blush
🍑 Crisp Cantaloupe
☀️ Golden Glow
💜 Hydrangea Hue
🌲 Peaceful Pine
🤍 White
They’re such an easy way to add a little color, dimension and personality to a project without overwhelming your design.
💗 Why I Love Stampin’ Up! Suite Collections
One of my favorite things about a Stampin’ Up! suite is something you might not notice until you actually start creating with one:
The coordination has already been done for you.
No standing in your craft room wondering…
Does this paper match this ink?
What color cardstock should I use?
Will this embellishment work with my Designer Series Paper?
The stamps, dies, paper, colors, embellishments and packaging within a suite are designed to work beautifully together.
That means less time trying to figure out what matches and more time actually creating.
And isn’t that the fun part? 💕
