June 28, 2026 No Comments

This Velvet Meadow flocked designer series paper is so pretty and I really wanted to the use the pink paper on the back so this Standing Arches pop-up card was the perfect design to showcase it. The accenting with the Velveteen Assortment pink flocked paper and the Flowering Meadow stamps and dies were the perfect combination.

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

Berry Burst card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Bubble Bath flocked card stock from Velveteen Assortment (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Velvet Meadow designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Flowering Meadow stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Arches dies (Stampin’ Up or Senhai)
Berry Burst ink (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

From a piece of Berry Burst card stock cut out an arch measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” for the back, one to 2 ¾” x 4” for the middle and 1 ¾” x 3” for the front. Then cut a piece to 1 5/8” x 2 ¼” and another to 2 ¼” x 2 ¾”, score each along the 2 ¼” edge at ½”, 1”, 1 ½” and 2”. Fold each section in for both and adhere the ¼” section to the first section to form a box. From white card stock use the 2 ½” x 3 ¾” arch die to cut your back panel and the ½” x 1 7/8” to create your label.

With the Velvet Meadow designer series paper, find the Bubble Bath piece with the white flocking leaves and then the Bubble Bath flowers piece. From the Bubble Bath piece with the white flocking leaves cut out with the 3 7/8” x 5 1/8” arch die. Use the 2 ½” x 3 ¾” arch die to cut out the floral paper. Then take a piece of the Flocked Bubble Bath paper from Velveteen Assortment and cut with the 1 ½” x 2 ¾” arch die.

From a scrap piece of the Bubble Bath with white flocking leaves use the two sprig dies from Flowering Meadow to cut out one of each of the two. From the floral paper use the double flower die to cut out one of the flowers and then hand cut out two leaves from the same paper. Use the small flower dies to cut out three small flowers from a scrap piece of Berry Burst.

Take the largest Berry Burst arch and adhere the white arch to the back and the Bubble Bath with the white flocked leaves to the front. Take the middle side Berry Burst arch and adhere the floral arch piece to it. Take the small Berry Burst arch and adhere the pink flocked piece to it. Now adhere the small square piece to the back of the small arch and the other square piece to the back of the middle piece. Now adhere the back of the middle size square piece to the front of your large arch and then the small square piece to the front of the middle arch.

Now adhere your two sprigs that you cut out to the front left bottom corner of your smallest arch and your three Berry Burst flowers over them to your liking. Take the small white arch label you cut and with your Berry Burst ink stamp the “just because” and adhere the label angling down with the flat end going under your tallest sprig.

For the back panel adhere your double flowers you cut out in the lower left corner and the two leaves where you like slightly under the flowers. Use the Berry Burst ink and stamp the “you always make me smile” greeting in the upper center.

Such a pretty card to let a tell someone you are thinking about them and they make you smile.

June 26, 2026 No Comments

I designed this card that I am calling a Flap card using the Paper Melody designer series paper to highlight this lovely dainty floral and stripe papers. I used the Scallop Blooms stamps and label dies and the Boutique Blooms dies for my flowers, all from Stampin’ Up.

Petal Pink ink (Stampin’ Up)
Varigated Ribbon (Stampin’ Up)
Glossy Dot Assortment embellishments (retired Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer

From white card stock cut your card base to 5 ½” x 7 ¼” at score at 3” and fold. Cut another piece to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼”. From your Petal Pink card stock cut two pieces to 2 7/8” x 5 3/8” and one to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. In your Paper Melody designer series paper pack find the piece with the small flowers and the one with the diagonal stripes. From the floral piece cut two pieces to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” and then from the stripe paper cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.

From a scrap piece of white card stock use the large label die with the scallops on the bottom and also the long label die with the scallops on the end and cut one of each. Then use the small label die to cut one from a piece of Petal Pink card stock. From the Boutique Blossoms dies use the daisy die to cut three out of Petal Pink and two out of white card stock.

Now let’s start to assemble. First start by cutting a piece of the Variegated Ribbon about 20”-22” long. Now take the long white label and score at 2” and fold in. Then take the small Petal Pink label and the ribbon an adhere the ribbon between the two labels with the Petal Pink label on top at the edge of the fold, leaving about 8” of the ribbon on the front of the label.

Adhere the folded tab of your label to the back of your card base about 2 ¼” up from the bottom. Now adhere the large piece of Petal Pink card stock to the back covering your tab and then the striped piece to that. With your card still open adhere one of your Petal Pink pieces to the left side and one of the floral pieces.

For the front panel adhere the last Petal Pink piece to the front panel and then the other floral piece. Take your large label you cut and stamp the “happy birthday” greeting in Petal Pink ink in the center of the label and adhere to the lower part of your front panel.

Velvet Meadow Diagonal Z-Fold Card

June 24, 2026 No Comments

This large bold paper from the Velvet Meadow designer series paper with the flocking is so beautiful, it can stand alone. Adding the pink velveteen paper for an accent and stamps from the Flowering Meadow stamps and dies, all from Stampin’ Up just made this card shine.

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

Peaceful Pine card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Barely Blush Velveteen card stock (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Velvet Meadow designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Flowering Meadow stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Scalloped Blooms dies (2026 Annual Catalog)
Peaceful Pine ink (Stampin’ Up)
Daffodil Delight ink (Stampin’ Up)
Berry Burst Stampin’ Write Market (retired Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer

This card is all about the cutting, after that it just goes together quickly. From a piece of Peaceful Pine card stock cut a piece to 5 ½” x 11” and from the right-side angle down to 3” and then score from the right high side at 4 ¼ and 8 ½”. Fold into you’re Z-fold with the small front piece folding to the left.

From your white card stock cut the following:

Back panel – 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and 3 ½” x 3 ¾”
Middle panel (front and back) – two pieces to 4 1/8” x 4 3/8”
Front panel – 2 3/8” x 3 3/8”

Now from the Velvet Meadow find the piece with the bright large flowers and the Peaceful Pine background and cut a strip to 5 ¼” x 12”. Then cut into three pieces measuring 4” each. And from the Barely Blush velveteen paper from the Velveteen Assortment Specialty designer series paper cut a piece to 2 ¼” x 3 ¼”.

For the back panel take the floral piece you cut from the right side and the white piece measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and line up and cut the angle to match your back panel. There are many ways to cut your angles to match, I tend to align the floral on the white and move up from the bottom 1/8” more and then align the white on the Peaceful Pine and again move up 1/8” more and then line up the diagonal on my cutter and cut them, but you can mark them and cut them that way or what works for you. Then take one of the white pieces for the middle panel and the middle floral piece and cut that diagonally. Then take the other white piece for the middle panel and the third floral piece, but you will cut the opposite angle as this goes on the back side of your middle panel so that it shows from the front. Then take the small white piece and the Barely Blush velveteen and do the same. Now adhere them all down to their appropriate panels.

With a piece of scrap white card stock and the Flowering Meadow stamp set find the daisy flower. Ink the stem part of the stamp in Peaceful Pine ink and then use your Berry Burst Stampin’ Write marker to ink the flower and stamp on your white card stock. Then find the large floral center stamp and stamp in Daffodil Delight ink. Use the dies to cut out both. Now take the “thanks” greeting stamp and stamp in Peaceful Pine ink and use the small label die from the Scalloped Blooms dies to cut out your label. Adhere your label to the front panel on your Barely Blush velveteen and then adhere the flower center to your daisy and then the flower stem over the straight left side of your label.

For the inside take your last piece of white card stock you cut and angle it to the same angle, since it is smaller you can use any of the angles. Adhere to your back panel center on three-sided from the bottom, making sure it will be covered when you close your card. Use the Peaceful Pine ink and stamp the “you always make me smile” greeting.

Such a bright and beautiful card to say thanks.

One piece measuring 4” x 5 ¼” for the inside

One to 1 13/16” x 1 7/8”

Patchwork Thank You Cards

June 18, 2026 No Comments

This patchwork thank you card is so quick and easy and if you use the right double-sided paper, you can cut twice with the InLoveArts Patchwork Boarder die and make two cards, just by cutting one from each side. This Strawberry Slush floral paper from Stampin’ Up’s Floral Impressions designer series paper made this the perfect paper for this card.

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

Strawberry Slush card stock (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Floral Impression designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Impressions Abloom stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
Strawberry Slush ink (2025–2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
Patchwork Background Board die (InLoveArts)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

From your Strawberry Slush card stock cut two card bases to 5 ½” x 8” and fold in half. This card base is slightly smaller than normal to fit with the die so you don’t have large borders. With your white card stock cut two pieces for the inside of your card to 3 ¾” x 5 ¼”.

Take your Floral Impression designer series paper pack and find the piece with Strawberry Slush on the back and the pink floral on the front. With this paper there is a direction, so you do need to pay attention to that (which I didn’t for the first ones I cut and you also need to pay attention to the direction of your die to see if you want the large panels at the top or bottom. Since I didn’t pay attention, my florals are upside down on one and the triangle is toward the bottom instead of the top on the other to get the direction right, but that isn’t bad. Cut once with the flowers up and another with the Strawberry Slush design up. You will now have two strawberry slush boarders and two sets of floral panels. Then use some scrap pieces of white card stock to cut out two of the center panel.

Adhere your Strawberry Slush panels to the front of each card base and then use your floral panels to fill in the panels, leaving the center panel open for your white pieces.

Take the Impressions Abloom stamp set and find the “Thanks So Very Much” or Thans for being there” greeting and stamp with your Strawberry Slush ink on your center panel, then adhere to the center of your card.

With the “I appreciate you” greeting and your Strawberry Slush ink stamp this on the upper center of each of your inside white pieces and adhere to the inside of your card.

See how quick and easy that was and such cut cards.

Moonlit Flora Embossed Thankful for You Card

June 13, 2026 No Comments

I spent some time playing with the Fern & Flora 3D embossing folder and loved how this one turned out. Then I paired it with some paper from the Moonlit Flora designer series paper and used the Fern & Flora stamp set, all from Stampin’ Up, to make this pretty card.

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

Secret Sea card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Moonlit Flora designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Fern & Flora stamp set (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Dewdrops Embellishments (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Golden Glow ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

From a piece of Secret Sea card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Then cut a piece to 3 ½” x 3 ½” and another to 1 1/8” x 3 ½”. With some white card stock cut to pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one to 3 3/8” x 3 3/8”, one to 7/8” x 3 ½” and another to 3 ¼” x 4 ½”. Take your Moonlit Flora designer series paper and find the Golden Glow piece with the four dot decorations, cut one to 4” x 5 ¼ and a second to 1” x 3 5/8”.

Let’s start by taking the white piece you cut to 3 ¼” x 4 ½” and your Fern & Flora 3D embossing folder. With your Golden Glow ink pad, open and swipe in along the flat part of your embossing folder where your folder will emboss into, so that the ink is only on the flat surface that will be the background. Lay your paper on the opposite raise side and fold your folder closed and run through your machine to emboss. This will put the ink onto the background of your paper leaving most of the embossed surface white. Set aside to dry well. Take the white piece you cut to 7/8” x 3 ½” and the “thankful for you” greeting stamp from the Fern & Flora stamp set and stamp in Golden Glow ink.

Take your Secret Sea card base and one of the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” white pieces and adhere to the front. Then adhere the Golden Glow designer series paper piece to the front of the white. Now take the Secret Sea piece measuring 3 ½” x 3 ½, adhere to white square piece to the front of it. Grab your embossed piece and cut down to 3 ¼” to make it square, the part you cut off will be for the inside of your card, and adhere to the white piece. Adhere that to the upper portion of your card front, leaving an equal area on the three sides. Now take the label piece of Secret Sea, adhere the Golden Glow paper piece to it and then your stamped white piece to that. Adhere to the lower portion of your card again leaving an equal amount on three sides. Take two of the larger Secret Sea embellishments from the Dewdrop Embelishments and add one to each end of your label.

For the inside of your card adhere the white piece measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. With your Golden Glow ink stamp the “you’re an amazing friend” greeting in the upper portion. Adhere the embossed piece you cut off at the bottom, again leaving equal space on three sides.

I am just in love with this card and can’t wait to give it to someone.

Then fold each of your Cloud Cover strip from the right up, down, down, up and adhere the blue checked pieces to your three strips. Now adhere each of your skinny strips to top section and bottom section by adhering to your outside panels of your card base, and then the larger panel to the center between the other two. Adhere two of the 7/8” wide floral flocked pieces to each outside panel.

From the Flowering Meadow dies, cut two of the white daisy flowers from white card stock, two Golden Glow card stock center and one double stem from Cloud Cover card stock. Adhere together and then use mini pop dots to adhere the flower to the left side of your center panel. In Cloud Cover ink stamp the “hello” greeting from the Fabulous Sayings stamp set. Use the tag die from Scalloped Blooms dies to cut out and then with two pieces of linen thread folded in half to feed through the hole and then feed the ends through the loop, then trim. Adhere with linen thread slightly over your daisies using mini pop dots.

For the back panel of your card adhere the Velvet flocked floral strips to the two outside panels of each side. Adhere the white panel to the center panel. Adhere your white label piece to the Cloud Cover piece and stamp the “you’re on my mind” greeting stamped in Cloud Cover ink. Adhere the label to the back center panel in the upper section, angled slightly.

The muted colors and of course the white flocking makes this card a special one to give to someone special to you to tell them they are on your mind.
