Violet Dreams 2-4-6-8 Birthday Card

August 11, 2026 No Comments

This card is made with Violet Dreams designer series paper and the Framed Violets stamps and dies, all from Stampin’ Up. It is called a 2-4-6-8 Card and has two decorated layers to open. The design came from my Stampin’ Up up-line and you can watch the video from August 6 on her Facebook page My Stampin’ Style or on her Youtube site.

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

Fresh Freesia card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Violet Dreams designer series paper (July 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Framed Violets stamp set and dies (July 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Stitched Scalloped Oval die (retired Stampin’ Up)
Fresh Freesia Ink (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

With a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. The from the Violet Dreams designer series paper pack find the Cloud Cover with the violets paper and cut a piece to 5 ¼” x 12, scoring at 2”, 4”, 6” and 8”. From the 2” side, fold the first piece down, then up, down and up again for form you folds. I adhered mine together to form two flaps as I like it better, but you can also leave them to open the full piece as long as the back of your paper matches the colors of your card. Adhere the back of the large panel to your Fresh Freesia card base.

Now using the scalloped oval die from Framed Violets cut one out of Fresh Freesia card stock and one of the oval out of white card stock. Then using a stitched scalloped oval die cut two for the flaps. From the Violet Dreams designer series paper find the piece that has the violet cut-outs and grab three of the purple full flowers and three of the buds or smaller flowers and two leaves.

From the Framed Violets stamp set, use the Fresh Freesia ink to stamp the “happy birthday to you” greeting on the left side of one of the small ovals and adhere a leaf and three of your cut-outs. On the second oval stamp the “sending love” greeting to the left side and adhere the other three flowers and leaf.

Adhere your large white oval to the Fresh Freesia scalloped oval and adhere to the back panel of your card. Adhere the Sending Love oval to the middle panel covering the bottom of your large white oval on the back panel. Then do the same with the “Happy birthday to you” oval on the front panel covering the upper portion of your large white oval.

A nice quick and easy card that will work with most designer series papers.
