Plaid Vintage Leaves Father’s Day Card

June 12, 2025 No Comments

This is a great easy card that is a great guy card. I made this card for my dad for Father’s Day, but it would also be a good card for anything.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Cajan Craze card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Natural Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Timeless Plaid DSP designer series paper
Vintage Leaves dies (Retired Stampin Up)
The Wilderness Awaits (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Going Global (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Cajan Craze ink (Stampin’ Up)
Baker’s Twine (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With your Cajan Craze card stock cut a piece to 5 ½” x 8 ½”, folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut another piece to 3 ¾” x 5”. Take the Cajan Craze colored plaid paper from the Timeless Plaid designer series paper pack, cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”, use the strip you cut off the bottom of that and cut a piece to ¾” x 3 ¾”. With your Natural Beige card stock cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 5” for your card inside.

From your Vintage Leaves dies, take the oak leaf die and cut a leave out of the remaining Timeless Plaid designer series paper and then take the 3 ¾” x 5” piece of Cajan Craze your cut and use the leaf die to cut out a leave to the left hand side.

Adhere the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Timeless Plaid designer series paper and adhere it to the front of your card. Then adhere your piece of Cajan Craze with the leaf cut out to the front of the plaid. Use pop dots to adhere the plaid leaf to the right of the cut-out leaf. Take a small scrap piece of Natural Beige card stock and the “You mean the world to me” stamp from the Going Global stamp set and stamp with the Cajan Craze. I just cut the tag out by hand by making the top pointed and then just angled each bottom corner, but of course you could use a tag die to cut this out. Tie a bow with the Baker’s Twine and adhere to the top of your tag.

For the inside of the card I actually ended up using two different stamps to say what I wanted, the “admired, respected, loved…that’s you” from The Wilderness Awaits” stamp set and then a “Happy Father’s Day” which is a single wood block stamp that I am not sure where it is from. Stamp these stamps in Cajan Craze and adhere the plaid strip to the bottom and adhere to the inside of your card.

I think any guy would love to get this card.

Book Binding Textured Chic Painted Posies Card

June 7, 2025 No Comments

I like the style of the book binding fold cards and the Textured Chic designer series paper from Stampin’ Up is one of my favorite packs of paper. The Painted Posies embossing folder is really pretty as well, so I used some of the white core card stock and then sanded it down a bit so that the embossed outline is white on the petal pink paper and then just colored in the flowers.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Petal Pink white core card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Textured Chic designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder (Stampin’ Up)
Magnolia Mood stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
Petal Pink ink (Stampin’ Up)
Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends – Dark (Stampin’ Up)
Gold Ribbon – Shimmer Ribbon (Stampin’ Up)
Brushed Brass Butterflies embellishments (Stampin’ Up)
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

With a piece of Petal Pink card stock, cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 4 ¼” and 5 ½”. From the Petal Pink white core card stock cut two pieces to 3 ¾” x 3 ¾”. From the Texture Chic designer series paper pack, find the piece that is pink and orange with the diagonal design, cut two pieces to 4” x 4” and a third to 1” x 4”.

Take one of your 3 ¾” x 3 ¾” Petal Pink white core pieces and emboss with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder. With your Petal Pink Dark Stampin’ Blends market color in the flowers. Use a sanding block (nail sanding blocks work well) and sand over the top to show the white core of the embossed design. Add three of the brass butterflies around the embossed design.

Use adhesive, I would probably recommend glue, to adhere the 1 ¼” binding to the back of the card. Cut two pieces of ribbon and cross in the middle and adhere to each end of the 1” x 4” designer series paper piece. Adhere that to the front of the book binding part of the card. Adhere the embossed piece to one of the 4” x 4” designer series paper pieces and then adhere that to the front of your card.

Use the “Happy Birthday” stamp from the Magnolia Mood stamp set and stamp on the other piece of Petal Pink white core card stock. Adhere that to the other piece of designer series paper and adhere that to the inside of your card.

That gives you this pretty book binding birthday card.

With your Pretty in Pink card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one to 4” x 5 ¼” for the inside and then one to 2 5/8” x 3 7/8”. Now grab your Wildflower Birthday paper pack and find the floral piece with the light blue background and also the angled stripe piece.

This card started out being completely different that where it ended up, I had seen a reverse step card and was trying to make it but didn’t like the way it laid so I took it back apart and used everything but the card base. So now we have what I am calling this card the Inked Botanicals Sectional Card.

With your Very Vanilla card stock cut an inside piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and another piece to 1” x 4” and another to 1 ½” x 3 ¼”. Take you Inked Botanicals paper and find the dainty floral multicolor piece and the multicolor flowers with stems. With the dainty floral piece cut a two piece to 1 ¾” x 4”. With the flowers with stems piece cut a piece to 2 5/8” x 4”.

With your With You In Mind stamp set and your Watermelon Wonder ink stamp the “Happy Birthday” greeting onto the 1 ½” x 3 ¼” Very Vanilla piece. From the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set use the “enjoy your day” greeting and stamp onto the 1” x 4” piece lightly to the right. Take a spare piece of the large floral paper and hand cut out two of the flowers. Adhere one to the left side of the “enjoy your day” greeting.

Now take your card base and adhere the “enjoy your day piece to the bottom. Then adhere the dainty floral paper to the top of the card, and then the “Happy Birthday” piece to the center of the dainty floral paper. Now take your larger floral paper and adhere in the middle of the others. Take your vanilla twine and wrap around your card twice and tie into a bow. Align this toward the top of your large floral paper.

For the inside, adhere your Very Vanilla piece to the inside of your card. Then adhere the dainty floral piece toward the bottom, leaving a little bit of the Very Vanilla at the bottom. Take the other flower you cut out and adhere that to the left with most of the stem on the dainty floral paper but the flower on your Very Vanilla.

Nests of Winter Cardinal Thank You Card

With my love of birds, this Nets of Winter paper was a must have.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Grey Granite card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Nests of Winter designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Winterly Tree Tops stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
Cherry Cobbler ink pad (Stampin’ Up)

Cut a piece of Grey Granite card stock to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and cut another piece to 3” x 3 ¾”. With your white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one to 4” x 5 ¼ and another to 2 ¾” x 3 ½”.
