Delicate Dreams Thank You Kindly Card

No Comments

I love the tan and blue color combinations of this new Delicate Dreams designer series paper from Stampin’ Up.  The florals are all pretty and then this linen paper is a great background.  The Delicate Whispers stamps and dies offer a lot of great foliage and floral options to add to the cards as well. 

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

  • Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Delicate Dreams designer series paper (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Delicate Whisters stamp set and dies (March 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Stitched Hexagon dies (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From you Crumb Cake card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  From you white card stock cut a piece for the inside 4” x 5 ¼”.  Take the Delicate Dreams designer series paper pack and find the Mossy Meadow piece, the Crumb Cake linen piece and the floral with the smaller flowers.  From the Mossy Meadow piece (or you can use Mossy Meadow card stock if you prefer) cut two pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and another to 3 1/8” x 4 3/8”.  From the Crumb Cake linen paper cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.  The with the floral piece cut one to 3” x 4 ¼”. 

Grab your Stitched Hexagon dies and find the one that measures 1 ½” and the next one up that measures 1 ¾’ wide.  From scrap white card stock cut the 1 ½” label and from your Mossy Meadow paper cut one of the 1 ¾” wide ones.  Adhere them together.  Then cut one of the angled ends off to make your label.  Use the Mossy Meadow ink and the “Thank you kindly” greeting stamp from the Delicate Whispers stamp set and stamp to the right side of your label, pointed end, with the top of the stamp lining up with the point. 

Take a scrap piece of the floral paper and the small flower and leaves die and cut out two of the crumb cake flowers from the paper, or you can stamp and color your own.  Take one of the flower you cut out and adhere to the left side of your label. 

Now lets get the card put together.  Start with adhering your linen piece to one of the two larger Mossy Meadow pieces and then adhere that to the front of your card base.  Then adhere the floral piece to the smaller Mossy Meadow piece and adhere that in the center of your linen paper leaving about ½” on all four sides.  Now adhere you label in the lower left portion of your card over the floral paper and lining up on the outside Mossy Meadow edge. 

For the inside of the card adhere your second large Mossy Meadow paper to the inside and then the white card stock piece on top of that.  Now adhere the second cut out flower in the lower left corner of the white card stock.  If you would like to stamp a greeting on the inside feel free to do so, I didn’t as my friend has asked for some thank you cards that don’t have inside greetings and this is for her.

What a lovely card, I love these color combinations, and a great thank you card for anyone.

Wood Grain Wonders Scalloped Wishes Card

No Comments

The cat tails in the new Scalloped Wishes stamp set is a must have for masculine or outdoor cards, not to mention the adorable little dragonfly.  The new Wood Grain Wonders paper from Stampin’ Up is the perfect match to go with it.  This is a quick and easy card for any occasion. 

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

  • Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Wood Grain Wonders designer series paper (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Scalloped Wishes stamp set and dies (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Early Expresso ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Early Expresso Stampin’ Write Marker (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Bakers Twine (Stampin’ Up)
  • Antiquing Tools – Rough Edge Blade (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Sponge piece (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From your Basic Beige card stock cut a base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. With the Wood Grain Wonders designer series paper find one of the Early Expresso dark colored pieces and cut it to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

Take your antiquing tools, take the gray one and scrape across all four edges of your wood grain piece to rough them.  Then take a piece of a sponge and your Early Expresso ink and sponge ink over the edges of your wood grain piece and also the front of your card base. 

From the Scalloped Wishes dies, find the smaller of the two scalloped dies and use that to cut out of the upper portion of the wood grain paper.  Then with your Bakers Twine, cut four pieces to about 6” each and tie the together with a knot in the middle.  Adhere your knot to the center of the lower portion of your card and divide one set of four into two that you pull up and two you pull down and adhere them on the back, repeat for the other side.  Align this on the front of your card (not adhering) and use Early Expresso ink to stamp your greeting in the window so you know it lines up properly, I used the “so very happy for you” greeting from the Scalloped Wishes. 

Grab a scrap piece of Basic Beige card stock and your Mossy Meadow ink and stamp the small dragonfly and cut out with the die.  Then ink the cat tails in the Mossy Meadow ink and use your Early Expresso Stampin’ Write marker to color the three cat tail tops and then stamp on Basic Beige and cut out with the die.  Adhere to cat tails to the left side of the scallop cut out on your wood grain paper, and the dragonfly in the upper right corner above your scallop cut out.  Use pop dots to adhere this to the front of your card base. 

For the inside stamp the dragonfly in Mossy Meadow ink in the upper right corner and the cat tails (repeating the coloring process) in the lower left corner.

What and easy card for any occasion for those men in your life.

This is an adorable baby card to make for anyone.  I love this little hippo die from Sizzix and I have used it for many different baby cards.

From the light pink card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and folded it in half, a second piece to 2 1/2” x 3 ½” and a label piece to 7/8” x 1 3/8”.  Then from the Smokey Slate card stock cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”, another to 2 3/8” x 3 3/8” and a label to 1” x 1 ½”.  From white card stock cut a piece for the inside of your card to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”.  Take the Floral on Brick designer series paper and cut a piece to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8” and another to 2 ¼” x 3 ¼”.

From a spare piece of Smokey Slate use the medium Hippo die to cut out two of the hippos and then a small piece of the pink card stock cut four of the little hearts. 

Take your pink card base and one of the Smokey Slate bases and adhere to the front of the card and then adhere the Floral on Brink piece to the front of that.  Then take the medium size light pink piece and adhere the medium sized Smokey Slate piece to it and then the Floral on Brick piece to that.  Use pop dots to adhere the hippo to the top of the Floral on Brick piece and adhere one of the small hearts to the hippos behind.  Adhere the whole piece to the front of your card front leaving an even amount of space on three sides. 

Take your Smokey Slate label piece and the light pink label piece and adhere together.  With your “baby” greeting stamp and the Smokey Slate ink and stamp onto the label.  Adhere the label to the lower right corner of your card front. 

For the inside of your card take your Smokey Slate piece for the inside and the white card stock and adhere together.  Grab your Smokey Slate ink and the “Twinkle Poem” stamp and stamp in the upper portion of the white piece.  Take the second hippo you cut and cut it into half and adhere to the right lower portion of the white card stock.  Adhere a heart on the hippo and the other two around your Twinkle Poem.  Adhere to the inside of your card.
