Winterly Tree Tops Level-Up Card

April 27, 2025 No Comments

This curved front card is made with the Nests of Winter suite using the Nests of Winter designer series paper and the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set from the Stampin’ Up suite.

You will need the following supplies to make this card:

Gray Granite card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
The Nests of Winter designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Winterly Tree Tops stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
A scoring board or paper trimmer with a scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Real Red ink pad (Stampin’ Up)
Your preferred adhesive
Pop dot adhesive

Cut a piece of Gray Granite card stock in half to 4 ¼” x 11”. Get your scoring board or cutting tool with a scoring blade and score this cardstock at 1 ¾”, 3 1/8”, 3 ½”, 7 ½”, 7 7/8” and 9 ¼”. Starting from the center to the right side fold up, fold up and fold the last flap out and then the same from the left.

Grab your Nests of Winter designer series paper and pull out the pinkish piece full of pussy willows and cut a piece 3 ¾” x 4” and adhere that to the center panel of your card stock. Now cut two pieces of the light gray with the pussy willows and birds, make sure to cut so you get a bird for each, these will both be 1 ½” x 4” and adhere one of each to the front flaps.

Now grab your Winterly Tree Tops dies or a pair of scissors and the designer series paper that has the gray and pink bird and either cut the bird out with the die or with scissors.

Put some pop dots on the back of your cut out bird and then hold your card flat and adhere the bird to the upper center of the middle section of the card. Based on these measurements it just fits with a very small portion to go under the upper flaps.

Also cut a 1” x 5 ¼” piece of just the gray from the light gray with pussy willows and birds paper and a piece of 1 ¼’ x 5 ½” out of the gray granite card stock. Adhere these two strips together.

Now put about 1 ½” of adhesive on the back side of the card stock and then fold your card flat at align the strip across the card.

Get your Real Red ink pad and your stamp (I used the “A friend like you brings me happiness” you wisht to use, make sure it will fit nicely along the strip. Ink your stamp pad and then “stamp off” on a piece of scrap paper to change the color of the ink from red to a more pinkish color to match the bird in the middle. Now stamp onto a piece of white card stock. Cut that piece of stamped card stock down to about ¾” x 3 ¼”.

Adhere your stamped saying to the front strip of the card. I put it to the left, but you could also center it.

Flip the card over to the back side. Cut a piece of white card stock to 3 ¾” x 4” and a piece of the light gray designer series paper cut to 1” x 3 ¾”. Adhere the strip toward the bottom of the white piece of card stock. If you would like to stamp a saying to the signature part of your card, stamp off using the Real Red ink again and then stamp your saying (I used “thinking of you always”).

This is a different card style that is fun and fairly easy to make. The hardest part was determining the scoring measurements which are now supplied so now it is easy for you. I hope you have fun making this card.

Wildflower Birthday Tent Pop-Up Card

April 25, 2025 No Comments

This card is so fun and it’s easy to make and is a great birthday card for anyone.

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

Pool Party card stock
White card stock
Wildflower Birthday specialty designer series paper
Delightful Wishes stamp and die set
A die for the window
A die with a scalloped or decorative edge
Pool Party ink
Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop-Dots

With the Pool Party card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 11” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut another piece to 3” x 4 ¼” and score it at every half inch and accordion fold it. Cut a piece of white card stock to 4” x 5 ¼”. Get a piece of the cake designer series paper from the Wildflower Birthday pack and cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”. Also get one of the balloon cutouts from the Wildflower Birthday pack.

Take your card base and the two pieces of cut cake paper. Adhere one of the cake pieces to the front of the card and take the second piece and flip it over to the striped side and adhere that to the inside of the card.

Get your die to cut out the front window of the card, make sure it is sized to show the balloons through it and cut it out. Take a scalloped or decorative die and cut a piece long enough to cover your front cut out and about 2” high and score at ½” from the top and fold. Adhere the half inch portion to the top edge of the striped designer series paper. Align your balloons in the window and adhere to the white folded piece. Trim the bottom of the ballons to the bottom of the striped paper. Now take your according piece and adhere one side to the back bottom of your card with the accordion folds pointing up. Adhere the bottom of your balloons to the front of the middle accordion fold so that it will be at the middle level. Then adhere the front of the accordion fold piece to the back of the front flap of the card.

Take a spare piece of white card stock and your Pool Party ink and stamp the “wishing” stamp from the Delightful Wishes stamp set and use the wishing die to cut it out. Then stamp the “you a happy birthday” and use the long label die to cut it out. Adhere the “wishing” across the front of your opening angled up on the right. Adhere the “you a happy birthday” across the bottom of your window.

Take the white piece you cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the back of the card. Add a few more decorative cut outs from the Wildflower Birthday designer series paper pack, I used one of the pink balloons and the small flowers.

I love this card, mainly as I love setting my cards out and the cards that are vertically cut tend to not stay standing very well, but the accordion bottom fixes that. So cute as well.

Irresistible Blooms Bridge Tower Card

April 21, 2025 No Comments

This is the first time I have made a tower card and it took me a little bit of playing. My instructions will be correct, though my card is a half an inch too long to fit into a standard envelope. I haven’t use the Irresistible Blooms suite in a while and I forgot how beautiful the paper is.

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

Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Hello, Irresistible designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Irresistible Blooms dies (Stampin’ Up)
Decaled Circle dies (Stampin’ Up)
Daffodil Delight ink (Stampin’ Up)
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With the Petal Pink card stock cut two pieces 4 ¼” x 4 ½”, and score along the 4 ½” side at 1”, 2”, 3”, 4” for your towers. Cut another piece to 3” x 4 ¼” scored at ½” and 2 ½” for the center.

From the Hello, Irresistible designer series paper pack, find the piece that has the flowers on the front you can cut out with dies that is the lighter piece with the petal pink and daffodil delight colors and on the back has the same colors with a triangle design. Then also a piece that is just the Petal Pink and Daffodil Delight and then also a piece with white leaf designs.

With one piece on the triangle side cut 6 pieces to ¾” x 4”. With the plain Petal Pink and Daffodil Delight piece cut two pieces to 2 ¼” x 4”.

Now take your two Decaled Circle dies, the larger should be about 3 ½” or so and then the next smaller one. With the larger cut two Petal Pink and with the smaller one cut one with the white leaf designer series paper piece and one from white card stock. Also use the three decorative leaf dies and cut 5 different leaves. Take the two flower dies and cut out one large flower from the designer series paper and two of the smaller size.

Now let’s start assembling. Take the two pieces of Petal Pink cut to 4 ¼” x 4 ½” scored and your 6 pieces of designer series paper with the triangles and adhere three to one piece in the three 1” sections from the ½” side and then put adhesive on the ½” section and form your tower. Do the same with the other tower.

Take the Petal Pink piece you cut for the center and adhere the two pieces of designer series paper to each side. Put adhesive on both ½” side and adhere each tower, centering your center on each tower. Take one of your Petal Pink Decaled Circles and the circle with the white leaves and adhere to the Petal Pink circle, making sure the leaves don’t hang down too far). Take the one large flower and one of the small flowers you cut and with pop dots adhere to the bottom of the circle and adhere three leaves for decoration.

With the Irresistible Bloom stamp set and the Daffodil Delight ink stamp on a spare piece of white stamp the “Hello” greeting and use an appropriate size label die to cut it out. Use pop dots to adhere to your Decaled Circle above the flowers. Put some adhesive on the center of both of your towers and fold down so it is lying flat and adhere your decaled circle with the flowers at the bottom.

Now take your second Decaled Petal Pink circle and the white one and adhere together. With the Irresistible Blooms stamp set and the Daffodil Delight ink stamp the “I Couldn’t be happier to have you as my friend” greeting. Take the second small flower and adhere with pop dots and then add the two leaves.

You now have a lovely card to send to a friend to let them know you are thinking of them.

Harvest Meadow Dragonfly Card

April 18, 2025 No Comments

I had forgotten how beautiful this Harvest Meadow paper was and once I pulled it out to see what was in it I had to make a few cards with it. It is spring times, so times for the dragonflies to start coming out so that was my inspiration.

Cottage Rose Trellis Card

April 14, 2025 No Comments

This is a cute see through card with a beautiful rose for a touch of elegance. I used the Wild Wheat as the color tones to keep it a bit vintage to go with the trellis cut out.

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

Very Vanilla card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Softly Stippled designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Cottage Rose stamp set and dies (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Trellis die
Textured Notes dies
Jet Black Staz-On ink
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With the Very Vanilla card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 11” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. With the Softly Stippled designer series paper, find the piece that is Wild Wheat colored with a look of painted texture. Cut two pieces of that to 4” x 5 ¼”. Adhere one piece to the front of your card and the other to the inside of your card.

Take a spare piece of Very Vanilla and the trellis die and cut it out. Then take the medium rectangle die from the Textured Notes dies and cut a frame that measures about 3 ¾” wide. Use the same medium rectangle die and cut out a rectangle on the front of your card, which will leave about ¼” on each side for support. Trim your Trellis piece to just under the size of the rectangle you cut out, adhere to the back and then adhere that over the hole on the front of your card, giving you the trellis window.

Take another spare piece of Very Vanilla and your Jet Black StazOn ink and stamp the large rose and the leaf stem from the Cottage Rose stamp set. Use the light and dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends to color the leaves, the dark Cajin Craze Stampin’ Blends to color the dainty flowers, use the light Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends to color the stems and then the light and dark Wild Wheat to color the rose. Use the dies from the Cottage Rose set to cut out the large rose and the leaf stem. Adhere the stems to the lower right below your trellis cut out. Use pop dots on the large rose and adhere to the lower left corner overlook

For the inside cut two rectangle pieces from some Very Vanilla. On one of them stamp the “Happy Birthday” greeting from the Cottage Rose stamp set. Adhere that one to the top of the inside of your card. On the other one stamp one of the small roses from the Cottage Rose stamp set to the left side leaving room for signatures and a note. Use your same Stampin’ Blends to color that rose. Adhere this to the bottom of the inside of your card.

That gives you the Cottage Rose Trellis card for a lovely sentiment for anyone’s birthday.

Inked Botanicals Fern Sympathy Card

April 12, 2025 No Comments

I have been waiting to find some paper that I thought would work well for this card and this morning I saw this and thought it would work perfectly, and it turned out better than I was thinking it would. I love the paper and color combinations, and the addition of the embossed fern leaves.

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

Lost Lagoon card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Inked Botanicals designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Lost Lagoon Black ink
Fern Embossing Folder (Stampin’ Up)
Scallop Border Die (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Scalloped Rectangle Die (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

To start this card, take a piece of Lost Lagoon card stock and cut it to a standard card base of 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and then another piece to 2 3/8” x 4 5/8” and a last piece to 7/8” x 2 3/8”. With the Lost Lagoon fern paper from the Inked Botanicals designer series paper pack, cut a piece to 3 ½” x 5 3/8”. Then with the Lost Lagoon plaid designer series paper from Inked Botanicals as well cut it to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. Then with your white card stock cut a piece to 2 ¼” x 4 ½”, and then with your scalloped rectangle die measuring about 2 ½” x 3 ¾” cut a piece for your inside and then a piece to ¾” x 2 3/8”.

Take your Lost Lagoon card base and the fern DSP piece along with your scallop border die. Align the fern dsp centered up and down and in about ¼” from the left edge, then align your scallop die in about an 1 ¼” from the right to the inside of your die, then cut. Put adhesive on the back of the fern paper and center on your card front. Take the white card stock piece you cut to 2 ¼” x 4 ½” and the fern embossing folder and emboss. Adhere that to the piece of Lost Lagoon and adhere to the front center of your card base. With the two small label size pieces and your Lost Lagoon ink, stamp the “You’re in my thoughts” greeting, then adhere the white to the Lost Lagoon piece and that to the lower portion of the embossed fern paper about ¾” from the bottom.

Take your white scalloped rectangle and your Lost Lagoon ink and stamp your “With Sympathy” greeting and then adhere to the inside of your card about 5/8” from the left of your inside half, making sure it doesn’t show when your card is closed.

This makes a lovely fern sympathy card to give to anyone when needed.

Magnolia Mood Rustic Thank You Card

April 10, 2025 No Comments

I felt like going a bit rustic today with this Magnolia Mood card. This set is so lovely and so detailed that it really doesn’t even need any color. I gave the leaves a bit of color but otherwise just let the stamp do all the work.

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

Early Expresso card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Sahara Sand card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Magnolia Mood stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
Soft Suede ink (Stampin’ Up)
Old Olive Dark Stampin’ Blends
Woodgrain embossing Folder (Stampin’ Up)
Two label dies that layer
Rustic Metal Adhesive-Backed Dots (Stampin’ Up)
Sponge
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

Start with taking your Early Expresso card stock and cutting into a card base at 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Then with your Sahara Sand card stock cut two pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and a third piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. Cut a piece of white card stock to 4” x 5/14”.

Take the Sahara Sand piece cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and your woodgrain embossing folder and emboss. Take your Soft Suede ink pad and lightly run it over your embossed piece to highlight the wood grain. You can also use a brayer to ink if you want it to only ink the grain and be a bit more neat, but I like the more rusticness of running the ink pad instead for this one.

With some scrap white paper and your Soft Suede ink stamp one of the large magnolias and one of the small single flowers. Use your Old Olive Dark Stampin’ Blends to color the leaves and then cut them out with the dies. Then take your cut piece of white card stock that you cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and stamp another of the small single flowers slightly off the card in the lower left corner. Find the “just a not no let you know that you are loved” greeting and stamp toward the top center for the inside of your card. With the “Thank you for being you” greeting stamp onto a piece of scrap white card stock.

Take on of your pieces of Sahara Sand and adhere your wood grain piece to it and then adhere that to the front of your card base. With pop dots, adhere the large magnolia in the slower left of your card and then the small flower to the right side with the stem hidden slightly under the large magnolia. With your “Thank you for being you” greeting use the smaller of two label dies to cut that out greeting. With a scrap piece of Sahara Sand and the larger label die cut out a piece. I used a sponge to sponge the edges of both labels, then adhere together and then with pop dots adhere to the upper part of your card front. Adhere a few metal embellishments around your label.

Take you stamped white inside piece and adhere to the second piece of Sahara Sand card stock and adhere to the inside of your card.

That is all there is to making this rustic Magnolia Mood thank you card. I was really happy with how it turned out and can’t wait to give it to someone.

Daisy Birthday Card

April 9, 2025 No Comments

Anyone who really knows me knows that white daisies are my favorite flower, hence why my website is www.daisychainfun.com as it had to have the word daisy and a daisy in my logo. I did struggle with this card being way too white though, so I finally decided to use some of the antiquing spray I have in many different colors and it was exactly what this card needed.

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

Lemon Lime Twist card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Lemon Lolly card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Heart and Home designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Daisy stamp (Reflections)
Basic Gray Black ink (Stampin’ Up)
Stampin’ Blends
- Lemon Lime Twist Light
- Lemon Lolly Dark
Willow Walnut Ink Antiquing Solution Spray (Tsukineko)
Yellow ribbon
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

This car is pretty straightforward, it is just a lot of layers. With some white card stock, cut a card base of 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut another piece of white to 2 ¾” x 4 5/8” and one to 5/8” x 2”. With the Lemon Lime Twist card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and a second piece to 3 1/8” x 4 7/8” and a third to 7/8” x 2 1/4”. Then cut a piece of Lemon Lolly to 4” x 5 ¼” and a second piece to 2 7/8” x 4 ¾” and a third to ¾” x 2 1/8”. Lastly, take one of the white wood designer series papers from the Heart and Home paper pack and cut a piece to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”.

Take the white piece you cut to 2 ¾” x 4 5/8”, your Basic Gray ink and your daisy stamp and stamp onto the center of the white card stock piece. Let dry for a few minutes since it isn’t StazOn ink. Color the leaves with the Lemon Lime Twist Light Stampin’ Blends and the flower centers with the Lemon Lolly Dark. Take your stamped piece and the white wood designer series paper and a piece of cardstock or cardboard you can spray on, and with your Willow Antiquing Spray and spray both pieces, then let dry for a few minutes. On the small white piece you cut stamp the “Happy Birthday” greeting from the Special Someone stamp set in your Basic Grey ink.

Now let’s get it all put together. Take the three large pieces and start with adhering the wood designer series paper piece to the yellow and then to the green and finally to your card front. Then with the middle size pieces wrap your daisy stamped piece with yellow ribbon and tie into a knot toward the left side. Now adhere your stamped daisy piece to the yellow and then to the green and now to the center of your card front. Layer up your small pieces with your Happy Birthday and adhere that over the ribbon.

For the inside take the “a very special day…” and the “for a very special someone” greeting stamps from the Special Someone stamp set and stamp in the Basic Gray ink, and then the flower stamp in the lower left corner.

There is a birthday card for anybody who loves daisies or flowers in general.
