No Comments

This is bright and fun birthday card made into a reverse double z-fold card turned out great.  It uses the Wildflower Birthday designer series paper pack from Stampin’ Up that also includes two sheets of cut outs to use to decorate. 

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
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

Cut a piece of Blueberry Bushell card stock to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 5 ½” and 8 ¼” to form you Z-fold card base.  With the Pretty in Pink card stock cut a piece to 3” x 9” and scored at 4 ¼” and 6 5/8”.  Take your white card stock and cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 4” for the front of your card and cut two pieces to 2 1/8” x 2 ¾”.  Find the pink gingham paper in the Wildflower Birthday pack and cut one piece 4” x 5 ¼”, two pieces to 2 ¾” x 4” and two to ¾” x 2 ¾”. 

Find the greeting saying “Wishes for a beautiful birthday” stamp from the Framed Florets stamp set, and with the Blueberry Bushel ink stamp on to one of the 2 1/8” x 2 3/4” pieces.  Time to start assembling your card.  Take your card base and your three large pieces of the pink gingham and adhere one to each panel of your card.  Do the same with your Pretty In Pink piece by adhering the three white panels, with the stamped panel in the middle.  Take the long side of your Pretty In Pink piece, put adhesive on the top half and adhere to the short side of the Blueberry Bushel piece.  Then put adhesive on the bottom side of the bottom panel, fold it up and then fold onto the card base. 

Take you two small pieces of pink gingham and adhere one to the bottom of the inside panel leaving a small bit of white, and the same on the large pane.  In your Wildflower Birthday pack find the cut out sheets and punch out one of the large pink tiered cake, two of the small pink flowers and one of the cupcakes.  Adhere one of the flowers next to your greeting, adhere the cupcake and the other small flower to the inside panel and the adhere the cake to the front panel.  Add a few pink party dot embellishments for some additional decoration if you choose.  I planned to do this and apparently didn’t end up doing it. 

That is all there is to making this pretty pink reverse double z-fold birthday card that will be great for any females birthday.

Daffodil Afternoon Thank You Card

No Comments

To be honest, most of this card was designed by my Stampin’ Up upline demonstrator.  I found it in a big stack I had built up in a spot in my craft room.  I had that pile built up for my mom and I to work on together and she passed away unexpectedly and I just haven’t been able to deal with it.  It has now been almost three years and I have finally dug into it and found a bunch of stuff to play with.  This was in there as a card ready to make which I modified a bit.  But it is perfect for this time of year as my daffodils are up already. 

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

  • Very Vanilla card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Basic Black card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Daffodil Afternoon designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Dainty Delight stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scallop Edge rectangular dies (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Crushed Curry crinkle ribbon (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

With your Very Vanilla card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 11” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Cut another piece for the inside of your card to 3 ½” x 4 ¼”.  Take your Mossy Meadow card stock and cut a piece to 3 3/8” x 4 7/8” and another for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Grab the Basic Black card stock and your scallop edge die that measures about 3 7/8” x 5 ¼” and cut.  Take the daffodil paper from the Daffodil Afternoon designer series paper pack and your smaller scallop die measuring around 3 1/8” x 4 ½” and cut.  Find a label die large enough for the “Celebrate You” from the Dainty Delight stamp set, stamp your greeting onto the in Mossy Meadow ink. 

Take your Very Vanilla card base and adhere the Basic Black decorative piece, then the Mossy Meadow piece  measuring 3 3/8” x 4 7/8”.  Now with the daffodil piece adhere that to the Mossy Meadow with pop dots to make it stand out a bit.  Adhere your label to the lower right.  With the Crushed Curry crinkle ribbon tie a bow and adhere to the upper left corner of your label. 

For the inside take the Very Vanilla piece and your Mossy Meadow ink and stamp the “Thank You for your Kindness”.  Adhere the Very Vanilla piece to your Mossy Meadow piece and then to the inside of your card. 

There is the Daffodil Afternoon thank you card.

Cut two leaves from the Memorable Blooms leaf die and one black one.  Adhere one of the white leaves to the left side of the card and layer the black one off-set over the white one.  Cut the second white leaves to a shorter length and adhere long ways below the label.
