Brushed With Beauty Just Because Card

No Comments

A vertical take on a book binding card.  This floral card is made with Brushed With Beauty designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and using the Petals of Beauty and Words of Beauty coordinating stamp sets and dies. 

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

  • Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Brushed With Beauty designer series paper (November 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Petals of Beauty stamp set and dies (November 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Words of Beauty stamp set (November 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Nested Die 138281 (Sizzix)
  • Calypso Coral ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Petal Pink ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Pink Pirouette (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From a piece of Crumb Cake card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 2 ¾” and 4 ¼”.  Fold in half and then fold the 2 ¾” flap up.  With your white card stock cut a piece to 2 ½” x 5 ¼” for the inside.  Take the Brushed With Beauty designer series paper pack and find the one with the smaller floral print, cut a piece to 2 ½” x 5 ¼”. 

With some white card stock and the Petals of Beauty stamps and dies stamp and die cut the flowers.  I made three different flowers to help match the paper’s flowers:

  • Stamp the base in Pink Pirouette and then the outline in Petal Pink
  • Stamp the base in Pink Pirouette and then the outline stamped off in Petal Pink
  • Stamp the base in Petal Pink and then the outline stamped off in Calypso Coral

Use the larger size of the yellow 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds for the centers of the flowers.  With some scrap Mossy Meadow card stock use the leaf die from Petals of Beauty to cut one out and cut it into single leaves to use. 

With your card base, adhere the 1 ½” section to the back of the inside of your card to form the Book Binding.  Adhere to floral piece to the front right side of the card.  Adhere the three flowers evenly to the left side on the book binding with the leaves behind to your liking.  Take three of the pink 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds to the blank spaces around the flowers.  On a scrap piece of white card stock stamp the “just”, “because” and “…” in Calypso Coral and use a label die to cut it out, I use a nested Sizzix die that was about 1 ½” high but any shape will work.

For the inside of the card adhere you white piece and stamp the “you’ve been on my mind” stamp in Calypso Coral ink.

A pretty card to brighten someone’s day and let them know you are thinking of them.
