Berry Botanicals Have a Good Day Card

May 30, 2026 No Comments

The Berry Botanicals Vellum from Stampin’ Up was a nice surprise, it is a nice heavy vellum that actually lets you use adhesive without showing through. Then the Scalloped Blooms dies made the perfect combination for the floral vellum for this design.

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

White card stock
Berry Botanicals Vellum (May 2026 Product of the Month Stampin’ Up)
Scalloped Blooms stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Bordered Ribbon – Peaceful Pine (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Peaceful Pine ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

For you card base cut a piece of white card stock to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half. Cut another piece to 3 ¼” x 4 ½” for the inside of your card. Now take your 2 1/8” scallop die and cut three white scalloped circles. Then use the From the Berry Botanical Vellum pack find the Peaceful Pine polka dots sheet and cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”. Then from the floral piece cut three of the 2 1/8” scallop circles from the die.

Now adhere one of the Peaceful Pine pieces to the front of your card base. Then adhere each of your floral scallop circles to the white floral scallop circles. Adhere one in the upper left corner, one in the lower left corner and one in the center to the right side.

From some scrap white card stock cut one of the smaller tags, I used the more square one with no scallops. Use your Peaceful Pine ink to stamp the “have a good day” greeting. Now cut a piece of the Bordered Peaceful Pine Ribbon and fold in half, putting the folded end through the hole to the back and pulling the other end through your folded hole and pulling tight. Trim the ends at an angle. Use pop dots to adhere in the lower left corner angled down with the ribbon end over the two lower circles.

For the inside adhere the second green polka dot piece to the back panel and the white piece centered on it. Use your Peaceful Pine ink to stamp the “wishing you a day of relaxation, happiness, and love” greeting in the upper center.

What an easy and quick card to wish someone a good day!

Bloom Boutique Split Fold Card

May 23, 2026 No Comments

This card turned out really pretty with the new Hydrangea Hue color from 2026-2028 In Colors from Stampin’ Up. This card is made with the Bloom Boutique designer series paper and the Boutique Blossoms and Scalloped Blooms stamp and die sets. I have been wanting to make this split fold card as it has been a while and this paper worked perfectly.

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

Hydrangea Hue Pearlized Specialty Paper (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Bloom Boutique designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Boutique Blossoms stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Scalloped Blooms stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Hydrangea Hue ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Golden Glow Light Blender Pen (2026-28 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

There is a bit of cutting, but then this card goes together quick. For you card base cut a piece of the Hydrangea Hue Pearlized 12” x 12” paper to 5 ½” x 12” and score at 2”, 4”, 6” and 8” and then starting for the large back panel, fold in, out, in and back out. Then with your paper trimmer cut 1 ¼” down from the top on panels 2 and 3. And then the same at the bottom, 1 ¼” up from the bottom on panels 2 and 3. Cut another piece to 2 7/8” x 3 3/8”.

From the Bloom Boutique designer series paper pack find the Hydrangea Hue colored pieces with the small flowers and then the piece with the florets. Cut the following:

Small flowers piece:

One piece to 3 ¾” x 5 ¼” for the back of your card
Two pieces to 1 ¾” x 5 ¼” for panel 1 and 4

Blue florets piece:

Two pieces to 1 ¾” x 3 ¾” for the center of panels 2 and 3
Four pieces to 1” x 1 ¾” for the top and bottom of panels 2 and 3

White card stock:

One piece to 3 7/8” x 5 3/8” for the back panel
One piece to 2 ¾” x 3 ¼” for the center of your back panel
Two pieces to 1 7/8” x 5 3/8” for panel 1 and 4
Two pieces to 1 7/8” x 2 7/8” for the center of panels 2 and 3
Four pieces to 1 1/8” x 1 7/8” for the top and bottom of panels 2 and 3

Now that the cutting is done just assembly each flower or floret piece to the coordinating white piece and adhere to the appropriate panel and laid out above. For panels 2 and three, the small top and bottom sections fold in while the larger center section folds out.

For the stamping, with your Hydrangea Hue ink stamp two of the medium sized flower by stamping the background stamped off and then stamping the outline over it. Use the Golden Glow Light Blender Pen to color the centers. Then stamp four of the small daisy flower outlines and color the centers of those with the Golden Glow Light Blender Pen. Use the appropriate dies to cut them out. Then cut out the large leaf and two of the three leaves dies in Hydrangia Hue card stock or Pearlized Specialty paper. From white card stock cut out the square label with the scalloped edge from the Scalloped Blooms dies and stamp the “you’re a blessing to me” greeting at the bottom above the scallops.

Adhere the large leaf leaving to the left and up leaving about an 1” from the top. Cut one leaf off where it won’t show. Adhere the two larger flowers as desired and then the three daisies around them. Adhere the two three leaf sets to the left and right sides of the others and then use the single leaf you cut off with one of the daisies.

For the inside I left it blank and just added one of the daisy flowers in the right corner.

What a lovely card to let someone know how much they mean to you.

Floral Charm Thank You Floral Strip Card

May 20, 2026 No Comments

This card made with strips of paper turned out cute. It was made with the Floral Charm designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and the Charming day stamp set.

Charming day stamp set (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stamp in’ Up)
Two layered label dies

Scissors
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With the Mossy Meadow card stock cut your card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half. Take your Timid Tiger card stock and cut two pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and then 4 strips to 3/8” x 4”. From white card stock cut an inside piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. Take your Floral Charm designer series paper pack find the orange floral piece and cut 5 strips to 7/8” x 4”, keeping them in order.

Take the Timid Tiger piece you cut to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and start adhering your strips. Start with the top adhering your top piece just at the top so you can slide your strip under. Fully adhere your bottom strip to the bottom of the Timid Tiger background. Then work at adhering your orange dividing strips and your three center floral strips, sizing them as close to the same as possible.

From a scrap piece of Mossy Meadow, cut the larger size laying label and from a scrap piece of white card stock cut the smaller label. With your Mossy Meadow ink and the “Thanks for Being You” greeting stamp from the Charming Day stamp set, stamp on your white label toward the right side. From a scrap piece of your floral paper cut out a floral section and adhere to the left side of your label, or you can stamp and color a flower and leaves to use (I am not the best at coloring so I rather fussy cut 😊). Adhere you white label with pop dots to your Mossy Meadow label and then adhere them to the front of your card about 1/3 of the way from the top.

For the inside of your card adhere your white card stock piece to the Timid Tiger piece and adhere to the inside of your card. From the Charming Day stamp set find the “you made my day” greeting stamp and with your Mossy Meadow ink stamp in the upper portion of your card. I had stamped and colored a flower for the front that I didn’t use so I used in on the inside, you could also fussy cut another. The stamped flower was colored with Light Timid Tiger and Light Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends.

This is a fairly neutral thank you card that could be given to most anyone to let them know you appreciate something they did to make your day brighter.

Moonlit Flora Amazing Friend Moth Double Z-Fold Card

May 15, 2026 No Comments

I love this Moonlit Flora designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and I have wanted to do something to highlight the green moth so this is the design I came up with to do that. A double Z-fold card with the Moonlit Flora designer series paper and the Fern & Flora stamp set and dies.

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

Secret Sea card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)

Dewdrops Embellishments (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Secret Sea ink (2025 – 2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

For you card base cut a piece of Secret Sea card stock 7 ½” x 10 ¼” and score at 4 ¼” and 7 ¼”, then cut 2” off the bottom to make a 5 ½” x 10 ¼” card base. From white card stock cut the following:

One 1 7/8” x 4 1/8”
Two 1 7/8” x 2 7/8”
Two 2 7/8” x 5 3/8”
One 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”
One 1 ½” x 2 ½”

Take the Moonlit Flora designer series paper and find the firms piece with the white moths and large green moth and the one with the Secret Sea diamond shapes. Cut out the large moth. Cut the white moth paper into three sections with the first two measuring 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” and the last section to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the Secret Sea blue diamond paper cut one piece to 1 ¾” x 4” and two to 1 ¾” x 2 ¾”. Fussy cut out the large green moth.

Take your scored card base with the large section of the right and fold the two sections to the right and then the last section to the left. Adhere each white piece to each section and then your fern pieces to the front of each white piece in order so they flow. Do the same with the long strip except it goes the opposite direction with the large section as the top first piece and the short section to the back of the card. Adhere the long section of the strip to the front short section of your card about 1” up from the bottom making sure to only put adhesive where needed. Then adhere the short section to the back of your card base.

With some white card stock stamp the “you’re an amazing friend” greeting in Secret Sea ink and then stamp the label stamp around it. Then use the label die to cut it out. Adhere to the front left side of the blue diamond paper on the strip using pop dots. Then adhere the large moth you cut out with pop dots overlaying on your label. Ad a few of the Secret Sea embellishments from the Dewdrops Embellishments around your moth and label area.

Waterside Retreat Happy Fathers Day Card

May 13, 2026 No Comments

This was an easy card with the Waterside Retreat designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and the sheet of cut-outs. This used the center cut-out cut down slightly with a few additions. What a beautiful Father’s Day card, my dad will love it.

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

Peaceful Pine card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Waterside Retreat designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Relaxing Waterside stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Peaceful Pine or Soft Succulent (retired) ink (Stampin’ Up)
Pecan Pie or Baked Brown Sugar (retired) ink ( Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer)
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

From a piece of Peaceful Pine card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 1/2”. With some white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the inside back of your card base. Take your Waterside Retreat designer series paper pack and find the sheet that has all the cut-outs and cut out the center one, then cut it down slightly to measure 4” x 5 ¼”. Adhere to the front of your card

Now from the Waterside Retreat designer series paper find the paper that has the life jackets and oars and cut out one single oar and one of the smaller life jackets, I did the green one but the pink striped one would look nice as well. Use pop dots to adhere the oar to the lower portion of your card on the dock so it looks like you are getting ready to go out in the boat (it looked best with the handle off the paper so I trimmed it off), then adhere the life jacket over that with pop dots, making sure you place your pop-dots so you don’t hit the oar.

Take a scrap piece of white card stock and your Pecan Pie ink (I used Baked Brown Sugar as I don’t have Pecan Pie) and the wood grain looking stamp from Nature’s Symphany stamp set, stamp off and then stamp onto your white card stock. Then take the “Dad” and “today is your day” greeting stamps from Relaxing Retreat and stack together on a block, then stamp over the wood grain. Cut out into a rectangle shape as desired. Stamp the flying seagull from Relaxing Retreat and stamp on a scrap piece of white card stock in Peaceful Pine (or Soft Succulent because I couldn’t get the Peaceful Fine ink yet) ink and use the die to cut it out. Adhere the seagull to the upper right corner of your label. Then adhere your label with pop dots to the upper right corner of your card front.

For the inside use the wood grain stamp again with your Pecan Pie ink and stamp off and then stamp in the upper center of your white inside piece. Then with Pecan Pie ink stamp the “Happy Father’s Day” greeting over the wood grain. Use Peaceful Pine ink and larger grass stamp and stamp in the lower left corner.

What a beautiful card for any occasion, but this one was made specifically for my dad on Father’s Day, hope he doesn’t look at my site before Father’s Day.
