Fine Art Floral Golden Garden Thank You Card

August 9, 2025 No Comments

This elegant and easy to make card is a great thank you card for anyone to show your gratitude. It is made with the Fine Art Floral and Golden Garden designer series papers from Stampin’ Up.

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

Calypso Coral card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Fine Art Floral designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Golden Garden transparent designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Art Gallery stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Stitched Rectangle dies (Stampin’ Up)
Calypso Coral ink (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Foam Adhesive Strips or pop dots

With the Calypso Coral cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. With the white card stock take the 3 ¾” x 5 ¼” die and the 3 3/8” x 4 ¾” and align both and cut a rectangle frame. Use the larger die to cut another piece of white for the inside.

With the Fine Art Floral designer series paper find the piece with the light blue brush stroked background that multi-colored flowers. Then from the Golden Garden transparency sheets find the one that matches. Align the papers so the gold is in place over the appropriate area and cut them together to 3 ¾” x 5 ¼” and then cut another section to 1 1/2” x 5”.

With the large piece of floral designer series paper and the Calypso Coral ink, stamp the “thank you” greeting from the Art Gallery stamp set. Adhere the frame to the front of the Golden Garden piece. Use Foam Adhesive strips or cut pop dots in half and align to the outside and adhere to the piece of the floral designer series paper (be careful in your placement as you can’t easily get them back off as the film will peel off, you can guess how I know). Now adhere this to the front of the Calypso Coral card base.

For the inside of your card, take your white piece of card stock and adhere the floral paper to the inside of the stitches to the left side and then adhere the Golden Garden on top. With the Calypso Coral ink and the “Thank you for making a difference in my life” greeting from the On the Dock stamp set and stamp to the right upper portion. Adhere to the inside of your card.

No you just need to figure out who has made a difference in your life and send them a card to thank them.

The Wilderness Awaits Fox Birthday Card

August 6, 2025 No Comments

This is a great birthday card for the men in your life. Masculine cards for some reason are much harder to create over floral or femine cards, but I am going to make myself do more of them. This card uses Timeless Plaid paper and the The Wilderness Awaits stamp set from Stampin’ Up.

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

Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)

The Wilderness Awaits stamp set (retired Stampin’ Up)
By the Dock stamp set (retired Stampin’ Up)
Border die
Two label dies (small and medium)
Cajan Craze ink (Stampin’ Up)
Blender Pens (Stampin’ Up)
Cajan Craze (light)
Wild Wheat (light)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

To start take a piece of Basic Beige card stock and cut to 4 ¼” x 11” and fold in half to form a 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut a second piece to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”” for the inside. From your Cajan Craze cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 ¼” and a second for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the Timeless Plaid designer series paper pack find the piece that goes with the Cajan Craze and cut a piece to 4” x 5” and cut a second piece to 1” x 3 7/8”.

Take the Cajan Craze piece cut to 4 1/8” x 5 ¼” and the Basic Beige piece that is 4” x 5” and stack them together and alight evenly at the bottom edge. Take your border die of choice and angle across both pieces toward the bottom to your liking and cut, forming the angled front pieces.

Take a spare piece of Basic Beige and the Jet Black Momento ink and stamp the fox from The Wilderness Awaits stamp set. Use your Cajan Craze Light Blender Pen to color the fox leaving a bit uncolored around the eyes and nose. With the Wild Wheat Light Blender Pen color the grass. Then use your medium size die to cut out the fox. Take a small whole punch and cut two holes on each side about ½” apart. Cut two pieces of the twine and string through the wholes on each side. Adhere the plaid paper to the center of the Cajan Craze piece. Add pop dots to the back of the fox piece and adhere toward the top and centered and wrap the twine around the edges. Then adhere to the front top portion of your Basic Beige card base.

On a spare piece of Basic Beige take the “Happy Birthday” greeting from the By The Dock stamp sent and stamp with Cajan Craze ink. Then use the small die to cut out and use pop dots to adhere to the lower Basic Beige portion of your card.

For the inside of your card take the Basic Beige piece and adhere to the piece of Cajan Craze and then adhere the plaid strip across the bottom. Use your Cajan Craze ink and a birthday greeting and stamp, I use a “Wishing you the very best of birthdays” stamp. Adhere to the inside of the card.

This is a great card for any males in your life with a birthday coming up.

Painterly Pears Gift Box

August 1, 2025 No Comments

This is another gift box I created to fill with candy for a friend. It was made with the Painterly Pear suite from Stampin’ Up and uses the Sizzix die called Bigz Die Box #3 and is big enough to hold a small gift for a handful of candy.

To create the larger yellow box, you just need a few things:

Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Night of Navy card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock

Perfectly Pears Stamps and Dies (2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Darling Duckling ink (2025 – 2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)

Sizzix Bigz Die Box #3
Bigz XL Matchbox Die (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Low Profile Sparkle Dots (2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer

Take your two pieces of Darling Duckling card stock and cut to 4 pieces 5 ½” x 8 ½”. With Sizzix Bigz Box #3 die cut two each of both box pieces.

From the Painterly Pears designer series paper, find the Night of Navy pieces with the flowers and pear and cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 12”.

Take one of the larger pieces and fold in at the two score marks, and one of the smaller pieces and fold the flaps in. The two smaller pieces are the side, adhere three of the sides of each to the two pieces to form your box. Take the designer series paper piece and put adhesive on the back. Starting on the front of the box adhere to the center of the flap and start wrapping it around the box folding as you go. Trim excess at the flap.

Take a spare piece of white card stock, your Black Momento Ink and your small pear stamp outline and stamp. Take your Darling Duckling ink and the inside small pear stamp and stamp inside. Use your Mossey Meadow Blender Pens (light and dark) and color the leaves. Use the Old Olive Blender Pens (light and dark) and if needed your Darling Duckling Blender Pens (Light and Dark) and shade the pears to your liking. Use the die to cut them out.

With the Bigz XL Matchbox Die cut one each of the three labels with a piece of Darling Duckling card stock and a piece of Night of Navy card stock. Also cut out some of the tiny flowers with the Perfectly Pears dies. With a spare piece of Mossy Meadow card stock cut some leaves for behind the flowers. Take the small Darling Duckling labels you cut and stamp the “friend” greeting from the Perfectly Pears stamp set. Adhere to one of the larger Night of Navy labels and then decorate the label with the pears, leaves and flowers and adhere to the top of your box.

This gives you an adorable gift box to fill with a handful of candy or a small gift for a friend.
