Delightful Wishes Angled Z-Fold Card

February 12, 2025 No Comments

This Wishing You Well angled z-fold card is fun to make and so fun and bright, it just makes you smile.

To create this card you just need a few things:

Daffodil Delight card stock
White card stock
Floral Delight designer series paper pack
Delightful Wishes stamp and die bundle
Lemon Lolly ink pad
Daffodil Delight ink pad
Old Olive ink pad
Pecan Pie ink pad (I didn’t have so I used Copper Clay ink pad instead)
Paper trimmer
Scissors
Adhesive of choice

With a piece of Daffodil Delight card stock, cut your card base to 5 ½” x 11”. Score at 3 3/8” and at 6 ¾”. Cut the angle staring in the upper right-hand corner and down to 3” at the left side. Fold into the z-shape on the left side of the card.

Take the Floral Delight designer series paper pack and pull out three pieces to use, I used the floral doily, gingham and flowers on stick papers. Take the flowers on stick paper and cut a piece 4” x 5 ¼” and angle from 5 ¼” on the right down to 4 3/8” on the right. Then cut a piece of the gingham to 3 1/8 x 4 ¼” and angle this from 4 ¼” on the right side down to 3 ½” on the left side and a piece of white card stock to the same dimensions but angle to the right. Now take the floral doily piece and cut it to 3 1/8” x 3 3/8” and angle from the right side down to 2 5/8” on the left.

With a piece of spare white card stock and the Delightful Wishes stamp set. Stamp the filled in floral stamp in the Lemon Lolly ink, then use the highlight floral stamp in Daffodil Delight ink and line up and stamp over the Lemon Lolly. Now use the Pecan Pie ink (or in my case the Copper Clay ink as I couldn’t find my Pecan Pie ink pad) and line up and stamp the stem. Then take the Old Olive ink with the leave stamp and line up and stamp the leaves. This gives you a beautiful floral decoration for the front of your card, you will need to cut out the floral decoration by hand.

Take a piece of Daffodil Delight card stock and white card stock and use the two wishing dies from the Delightful Wishes die set. Cut the think wishing out of the Daffodil Delight and the background wishing out of the white. Adhere together. Use the long label die from the die set and cut out a label. Use the Old Olive ink and stamp the You Well onto the label. The cut off the other end of the label by lining it up to cut it to your desired length. Adhere the wishing die cut to the front of your card down toward the bottom, the “g” will hang off a bit over the middle. Adhere the You Well center below the wishing. The adhere the floral decoration you created above and hanging over the angle. Adhere the white angled piece to the inside on
the back center angle.

Thoughtful Expressions Diamond Hummingbird Card

February 12, 2025 No Comments

This is such a bright card, but it just makes me happy to look at it. I just love it and I am not a big fan of bright colors.

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

Melon Mambo card stock
White card stock
Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper from the 2025 Sale-a-bration
Jet Black Staz-On ink pad
Melon Mabo ink pad
Thoughtful Expressions stamp set and dies
Stampin’ Blends pens
- Melon Mambo Light
- Melon Mambo Dark
- Shy Shamrock Light
- Shy Shamrock Dark
- Daffodil Delight Dark
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop-Dots

Take the Melon Mambo card stock and cut your base card to 4 ¼” x 8 ¾” and another piece 3” x 3”. Score the 4 ¼” x 8 ¾” at 5 ½” and fold to make your card base. With the white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” , one to 3 1/8” x 4” and another to 2 ¾” x 2 ¾”. Now pick your floral designer series paper from the Bloom Impressions paper pack and cut one piece 3” x 3 ¾” and another to 2” x 3 ¾”.

Take the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of white cards stock and adhere the floral paper piece measuring 2” x 3 ¾” to on end of it, then adhere that to the inside of your card base. Then get the 3 1/8” x 4” piece of white card stock and adhere the 3” x 3 ¾” floral piece and then adhere that to the front short piece of your Melen Mambo card front. When closed it should look like it is all one piece.

Take your 3” x 3” Melon Mambo piece and put adhesive on one half and then adhere that lined up with the front short ends and with the edge of the right side of the card as shown below.

Then adhere the white card stock that measures 2 ¾” x 2 ¾” piece to that Melon Mambo diamond. Take the “enjoy your day” stamp and use Melon Mambo ink to stamp the greeting in the left corner. Use a small piece of the leftover floral paper and cut out one of the floral groupings, then apply pop-dots to the back and adhere to the bottom portion of the diamond.

Now take your Jet Black Staz-On ink and the hummingbird stamp from the stamp set and stamp the hummingbird onto an extra piece of white card stock. Take the Melon Mambo light Stampin’ Blends pen to color the through and belly of the hummingbird and then highlight with the dark Melen Mambo Stampin’ Blends pen. Then use the light Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends pen to color the upper portion of the head and lower portion of the wing and back, then use the dark Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends pen to color the upper portion of the wings and the tail feathers. Use the dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends pen to color the beak.

Cut the hummingbird out with the hummingbird die, put pop-dots on the back and adhere it to the right side of the diamond on the front of your card with the upper wings and tail feathers hanging out of the diamond, but make sure it isn’t crossing over your card base.

Take another small leftover piece of white card stock and stamp the small spray flowers. Use the light Melen Mambo Stampin’ Blends to color the flowers and the light and dark Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends to color the leaves. Use the die and cut out the flowers and adhere that to the left inside corner of the card.

I am not usually a bright card fan, but I love this card and all the colors, it is just cheerful.

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

Lemon Lolly card stock
White card stock
Floral Delight designer series paper
- Large floral piece (both sides)
- Dainty little flower piece
Spring Corners stamp set
Three rectangle nesting dies – I used the Stampin’ Up Rectangle Stitched dies
Old Olive ink
Lemon Lolly ink
Old Olive Stampin’ Write marker
Paper trimmer
Scoring board or scoring blade for your paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop-Dots

With your Lemon Lolly piece of card stock, cut a piece to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 5 ½ x 4 ¼”. Take the white card stock and cut to 5” x 8” and score at 2”, 4” and 6”. Fold the 2” part down, the 6” part down and the 8” part up. Take the dainty flower paper from the Floral Delight designer series paper and cut a piece to 4” x 5” and score in half at 2”. Fold that in half and adhere to the 4” and 6” center sections of your scored white card stock (see photo below).

Take your largest of the tree nested rectangular dies and center it at the front half of your Lemon Lolly base and cut the front panel. Then use the back of the large floral piece of designer series paper that is Old Olive and cut a rectangle with the middle size die. Then take some white card stock and cut the smallest size rectangle. Take the front side of the large floral designer series paper and cut out one of the flowers for the front of your card.

Now grab your Spring Corners stamp set and stamp the “you brighten my day” stamp toward the top of the white rectangle piece and adhere your cut out flower to the bottom of the white piece. Adhere the white rectangle to the Old Olive rectangle and then the Old Olive rectangle to the Lemon Lolly rectangle.

With your Spring Corners stamp set and the Old Olive ink stamp the “happy we are friends” corners stamp in the upper right corners of the back of your white card stock insert. Then take the little coneflower stamp and ink it with your Lemon Lolly ink pad and then take your Old Olive Stampin’ Write Market with the large calligraphy end and ink the stems and leaves of the stamp and also the flower centers. Huff (blow a warm breath onto the stamp to re-moisten then stamp it in the center of your “happy we are friends” on the back of your card insert.

Lets assemble the card. Take your white insert piece and the card base, and on the inside front cover of your card base put adhesive to the center edge of your cut out and across the top and bottom of your cut out halfway, but make sure that you leave a half inch without adhesive at the top and bottom. Now adhere the front 2” white section of your cardstock to the back of your cutout on the card base. Now put adhesive on the back of your back white panel, fold it all to the front of the card and then close the back of the card which will align it so it will open to the square it needs to.

All that is left to do is put adhesive on the back left side of your rectangle cutout and adhere that to the dainty floral side with the card closed so you can just put it back in the cut-out, so it is lined up properly.

This beautiful tri-fold valentine card is so fun to make and give to anyone. It is very basic wit just some cutting, scoring, folding and die cutting a bunch of different hearts and the arranging them however you like.

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

Real Red card stock
Flirty Flamingo card stock
White card stock
Variety of heart dies and\or punches
Paper trimmer with a scoring blade or a score pad
Adhesive of choice
Pop-Dots

Take your Real Red card stock and cut a piece 5 ½ x 8 ¼”. Then you will need to score that at 2 1/8”, 3 1/8”, 5 1/8” and 6 1/8”. Then fold accordingly to fold your card as below.

Then take your pink Flirty Flamingo card stock and cut two pieces to 1 7/8” x 5 ¼” and one piece to 1 ¾” x 5 ¼”. Now with the white card stock cut two pieces to 1 5/8” x 5” and one piece to 1 ½” x 5”.

Now just die cut and\or punch a bunch of different heart shapes, sizes and decorations and arrange them how you like on each panel. Just make sure they show how you want when the panels are flat as well. I put the big red heart on the front panel and then placed the rest around that so they all showed nicely. I also put a few of the hearts on the front panel on pop-dots just to add some depth. I also found a cute little saying and put it on at tag on the front large heart.

Deer in the Forest Birthday Card

February 3, 2025 No Comments

I made this lovely guy card for my husband for his birthday but wanted to share it as well. Another card that is easy to make as long as you have the Deer in the Forest Background die from Inlovearts. Excluding the dies, the rest of the card is made with Stampin’ Up products.

To create this card you just need a few things:

Crumb Cake card stock
Blue Plaid paper from the Timeless Plaid designer series paper pack
Boho Blue card stock
White card stock
With You in Mind stamp set
Inlovearts Deer in the Forest Background Die
Inlovearts Deer in the Forst Frame Die Set using the small deer die
Twine
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

For the base card cut a piece of Boho Blue card stock to 4 ¼” x 5 ¾”, the background die is 5 ½” so you need to make your card slightly larger than normal. Take your blue plaid piece of designer series paper and cut that to 4 1/8” x 5 5/8” and a strip cut to 1” x 4” for the inside of your card. Then cut your Crumb Cake card stock to 4 ½” x 5 ¾” just to give you some space for the die to cut out. You will also need a piece of white card stock cut to 4” x 5 ½” for the inside of your card.

Grab your piece of Crumb Cake card stock and the Deer in the Forest background die and cut out the deer in the forest. Take your twine and using two holes in the upper left corner tie a bow. Then adhere your brown deer background to blue plaid paper, and adhere to plaid paper to the front of your blue card front.

Now take the white piece of card stock for the inside of your card and adhere the plaid 1” x 4” strip toward the bottom of it, leaving about ¼” of white showing at the bottom. Now take a small piece of Crumb Cake card stock and your small deer die and cut out the deer. Adhere that just above the plaid strip in the lower right corner of your inside piece. Use the Happy Birthday stamp from the With You in Mind stamp set from Stampin’ Ups’ January to April 2025 Mini Catalog along with Crumb Cake ink to stamp your greeting.

This is an easy card to make for the men in your life.

Wildflower Birthday Cake Cut-Out Card

February 1, 2025 No Comments

This adorable card is so easy to make and hardly even requires stamping, it is mainly using the cut-outs that come with the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper pack from Stampin’ Up’s January-April 2025 Mini catalog. It comes with the normal double-sided paper and then two sheets to cut-outs as well.

To create this card you just need a few things:

White card stock
Peach Pie card stock
Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper pack
Peach Pie ink pad
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop-Dots

To start cut your Peach Pie card stock into 4 ¼” x 11” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Then cut another piece of the Peach Pie card stock to 2 ¾” x 4 ¼”. Now take your piece of white card stock and cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼” and another to 2 ½” x 4”. The last is to take a piece of the Peach Pie Daisy paper from your Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper pack and cut a piece 3 ¾” x 5”. That takes care of all the cutting.

Let’s build our layers for the front of the card. Take your card base and adhere one of the 4” x 5 ¼” pieces of white card stock to the front of the card. Then adhere your Peach Pie Daisy piece of card stock onto the white. Add the 2 ¾” x 4 ¼” piece of Peach Pie card stock and then lastly the 2 ½” x 4” white piece of card stock. From the Wildflower Birthday pack take the larger peach cake cut-out from one of your pieces, along with one of the very small flower groupings and one of the cupcakes, I used the one with the peach paper and teal frosting.

First, take the small flower cut-out and adhere it to the cake base for decoration, then take the cake cut-out and add Pop-Dots to the back of the cake and adhere it to the center of the top white piece of card stock to finish the front of your card.

Take the last piece of white card stock for the inside of your card and adhere the cupcake to the lower right corner. For the inside greeting I used the Delightful Wishes stamp and die set where I took my Peach Pie ink and stamped “wishing” onto a piece of white card stock and then took the wishing die and cut out my stamped wishing. I adhered that to the top of the white card stock inside piece. Finally, I stamped “you a happy birthday” under the wishing die cut greeting. Now adhere your white inside piece to the inside of your card.

Wasn’t that easy and quick, and it is such a cute card.
