Wildflower Birthday 40th Card

I made this pretty card for a friend of mine who was turning 40.  It uses the Wildflower Birthday designer series paper and cut outs and while there are a lot of layers it is just some cutting and assembly so it is really easy to make.

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

  • Blueberry Bushel Card Stock
  • Pretty in Pink card stock
  • White card stock
  • Wildflower Birthday designer series paper and cut outs
  • Blueberry Bushel ink
  • Birthday stamp (random die I have had for a long time and not from a specific set)
  • Layered Number Dies (old school Sizzix dies)
  • Tag Die
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

For your card base take a piece of Blueberry Bushel paper and cut to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Cut another piece to 2 ¾” x 4”.  With your Pretty in Pink card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one to 4” x 5 ¼” for the inside and then one to 2 5/8” x 3 7/8”.  Now grab your Wildflower Birthday paper pack and find the floral piece with the light blue background and also the angled stripe piece. Cut the light blue floral piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and the stripes piece to 2 ½” x 3 ¾”. 

Take the large piece of Pretty in Pink and adhere the light blue floral piece to it and adhere that to the front of your card.  Then build the second layer by adhering the striped piece to the Pretty in Pink and that to the Blueberry Bushel and then adhere that to the center of the front of your card.  Take some spare pieces of Blueberry Bushel and Pretty in Pink card stock and cut your “40”.  From the Wildflower Birthday pack find the cut outs page and take the large pink tiered cake and one of the medium pink flowers.  Put pop dots on the back of the cake and adhere to the center of the striped paper.  Put pop dots on the back of your layered “40” and adhere those in the lower left corner and then pop dot the flower and adhere to the lower right side. 

For the inside of the card adhere your white card stock piece to the Pretty in Pink piece and adhere to the inside of your card.  Find the two large floral corner cut outs from the Wildflower Birthday pack and adhere in the upper left and lower right corners.  With a scrap piece of Pretty in Pink card stock and your Blueberry Bushel ink, stamp your “Birthday Wishes” and cut out with a label die and layer some Blueberry Bushel behind that.  Adhere with your flowers in the upper left corner. 

This is just an adorable birthday card and really easy to make, just takes a little time to cut the layers but otherwise it is just building it up with the cut outs that are all ready to go.

Inked Botanicals Sectional Birthday Card

This card started out being completely different that where it ended up, I had seen a reverse step card and was trying to make it but didn’t like the way it laid so I took it back apart and used everything but the card base.  So now we have what I am calling this card the Inked Botanicals Sectional Card.  This paper is just so beautiful, I actually didn’t even know I had it but found it in a stack I hadn’t touched in a while so had to use it. 

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

  • Watermelon Wonder card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Verry Vanilla card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Inked Botanicals designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • With you In Mind stamp set
  • Thoughtful Expressions stamp set
  • Watermelon Wonder ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Very Vanilla twine (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scissors
  • Adhesive of choice

Cut a card base from the Watermelon Wonder card stock to 4 ¼” x 11”, folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  With your Very Vanilla card stock cut an inside piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and another piece to 1” x 4” and another to 1 ½” x 3 ¼”.  Take you Inked Botanicals paper and find the dainty floral multicolor piece and the multicolor flowers with stems.  With the dainty floral piece cut a two piece to 1 ¾” x 4”.  With the flowers with stems piece cut a piece to 2 5/8” x 4”. 

With your With You In Mind stamp set and your Watermelon Wonder ink stamp the “Happy Birthday” greeting onto the 1 ½” x 3 ¼” Very Vanilla piece.  From the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set use the “enjoy your day” greeting and stamp onto the 1” x 4” piece lightly to the right.  Take a spare piece of the large floral paper and hand cut out two of the flowers.  Adhere one to the left side of the “enjoy your day” greeting. 

Now take your card base and adhere the “enjoy your day piece to the bottom.  Then adhere the dainty floral paper to the top of the card, and then the “Happy Birthday” piece to the center of the dainty floral paper.  Now take your larger floral paper and adhere in the middle of the others.  Take your vanilla twine and wrap around your card twice and tie into a bow.  Align this toward the top of your large floral paper. 

For the inside, adhere your Very Vanilla piece to the inside of your card.  Then adhere the dainty floral piece toward the bottom, leaving a little bit of the Very Vanilla at the bottom.  Take the other flower you cut out and adhere that to the left with most of the stem on the dainty floral paper but the flower on your Very Vanilla. 

That is all there is to this Inked Botanicals sectional birthday card.

Simply Elegant Black and Copper Anniversary Card

This beautiful paper has been waiting to get used and this seemed like the perfect design to use it on.  It is really easy but also elegant.    

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

  • Basic Black card stock
  • Copper Metallic card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Light gray card stock
  • Simply Elegant designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Memorable Blooms stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
  • Happy Anniversary stamp
  • Jet Black StazOn ink or Basic Black ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

For your card base take your Basic Black card stock and cut a piece to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 8 ½”.  With the Copper Metallic card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From the Simply Elegant designer series paper find the floral black and copper piece and cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 4 ½” and cut it on the diagonal from the left corner to the lower right corner.  Cut another piece to 1 ½” x 4”.  With the light gray card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

Take your Basic Black card base and adhere the copper piece to the front panel  Align your diagonal pieces and adhere in each corner.  Adhere the light gray piece to the inside and the copper floral strip to the bottom. 

With your Memorable Blooms stamp set find the greeting that says “You mean the world to me” and stamp that with the black in centered in the angle on the front of your card.  NOTE:  If you have Jet Black StazOn in I would suggest that as it will dry faster, the Basic Black was slow to dry on the copper.  The other suggestion is to be careful when stamping on the copper as it is slippery and your stamp could slide.

With your black ink stamp Happy Anniversary on the upper portion of the light gray card stock on the inside of your card. 

This is a nice anniversary card for anyone, as with the colors could be masculine enough even though it is floral.

With the Night of Navy card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½”, folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  From the Blueberry Bushel cut two pieces 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”.  Find the star paper you would like to use from the Stargazing designer series paper pack and cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Then from your white card stock cut a piece to 1 3/8” x 3 5/8” and another to 3 ¼” x 3 ¼”.

Toadstool Gardens Angled Window Card

This angled window card made with the Toadstool Gardens designer series paper is very cute and while I am not usually a brights fan, this paper pack has won my heart.  It took a bit of playing with to get it to work but was so worth it.    

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

  • Melon Mambo card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Toadstool Gardens designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Mixed Labels stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
  • Square dies, largest measuring about 1 ¼” and then the next size down
  • Square dies, largest measuring about 1 ¾” and then the next size up
  • Melon Mambo ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Melon Mambo Ribbon (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With your Melon Mambo cut a card base to 5 ½” x 11” and score at 3 ¼” and 7 5/8”.  On the inside right panel make a mark down 1 ¼” and at the bottom mark in from the first score mark 1 5/8”.  With your paper trimmer place the first score mark at the cutting edge and angle down to the 1 ¼” mark and cut the angle.  Then from the bottom 1 5/8” mark up to the point from your first cut and cut your second angle, which gives you your front panel angles.  For the left panel, mark down 1” and cut an angle from the left score mark to your 1” mark.  Take the larger of the two square dies and angle it along your angles of the front panel and cut a hole about ¼” in from each side.

Grab your Toadstool Gardens designer series paper pack and find the multi-color dot paper, a piece of the wavy paper and also the paper that has the little flowers on it.  With the multi-color dot paper, cut two piece to 3 1/8” x 5 ¼”.  Take one piece and mark down 1 ¼” on the dot side and in from the right side on the bottom mark at 1 ½” and then cut your angles and adhere to the front right panel of your card.  On the second dot piece, mark down 1” on the left side and cut the angle down. 

I think the easiest way to line up your box for the back panel is to align your paper on the front of the panel and close the front panel onto it and then use a pencil to lightly draw your box, and then use the same bigger square die and cut the hole.  Then adhere it to the front of the left panel.  Now with some white card stock cut out a smaller square and adhere that in the center of the left panel square cutout.  With the floral designer series paper you pulled out, cut out one of the flowers and adhere that to your white square so you see it through the front panel when closed. 

Take the white piece of card stock you cut and adhere that to the inside of your card.  With your Mixed Labels stamp set and your Melon Mambo ink and stamp the “I’m so glad we’re friends” greeting on a spare piece of white card stock and cut out with a 1 ¾” square and then cut the next size up die out of Melen Mambo card stock.  Adhere the white greeting to the Melon Mambo and then to the inside of your card. 

For your belly band cut a piece of Melon Mambo card stock to 1” x 9 ½”, loosely fold this over your card side and meet in the back and adhere the ends together.  Now cut a piece of the wavy designer series paper to ¾” x 4 ¼” and adhere to your adhered ends side to hide your ends.  Then wrap the belly band with ribbon and tie a not and trim ends. 

You have now created the Toadstool Gardens Angled Window card and it wasn’t so bad, when you have directions.

Impressions Abloom Easel Card

I was excited to use this new Stampin’ Up Online Exclusive set called Impressions Abloom suite.  It uses a few of the new In Colors, this card is made with the new Strawberry Slush In Color.  I am already in love with this new color as it isn’t pale but it also isn’t really bright. 

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

  • Strawberry Slush card stock (Stampin’ Up 2025-2027 In Colors)
  • White card stock
  • Vellum
  • Floral Impressions designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Impressions Abloom stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Strawberry Slush ink (Stampin’ Up 2025-2027 In Colors)
  • Strawberry Slush and Pretty In Pink Gems
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scissors
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

To start this card you need to take your Strawberry Slush card stock and cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 11”, folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  From your Floral Impressions designer series paper, find the Strawberry Slush floret piece that has the small florals on the other side which is needed as well.  Cut two pieces of this paper to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Adhere the Strawberry Slush floret piece to the front of your card base, make sure you only put adhesive around the edges as you will have to be able to slide your vellum piece in.  Use your scoring board or scoring blade and score the front portion in half, scored at 2 ¾” and folded.  Now take the other oval die that has the dotted edge, cut an oval in the middle of your card front.  Keep both of the edge pieces. 

With your white card stock cut and oval with the Impressions Abloom dies oval without the decorative dots.  With your vellum cut a piece to 3 3/8” x 4 ½”, then with the same oval die cut halfway down leaving the bottom portion in tacked.   Cut the top portion of the vellum outside. 

 The hardest part is to then get your card stock and Strawberry Slush card front to split apart so you can insert the piece of vellum in between them.  Get the vellum inserted and centered.  Take the Strawberry Slush dotted oval edge from when you cut your front ovel and adhere to the vellum, inserting it into your oval with the front laying flat so it is all lined up.  Then take the Strawberry Slush floret piece and adhere to the back of your vellum oval. 

Now from your Floral Impressions designer series paper pack find the piece that has all the different florals from the pack on one and with the two pinks on the left side cut out three different larger flowers with stems, three of the lighter pink daisy flowers and three of the small Strawberry Slush flowers (or you can use stamps and dies to cut out flowers from the Impressions Abloom dies if you prefer not to have to “fussy cut” the flowers like I did).  Arrange these around your oval on the front of your card for decoration.

For the inside of your card take the floral piece you cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the inside of your card.  Then take the white card stock oval and the “Thanks” and “so very much” stamps and stamp them centered on the oval.  Put adhesive on the back of your oval and put it into the oval from your card base (behind the vellum) to align and then close your card on to it.  Now add three of the smaller Strawberry Slush embellishments below your greeting for the folded card front to be able to stand against.  

You now have a great card to give to someone you appreciate for what they do for you.
