I guess you can call this design the reverse buckle card, as I saw a buckle card and came up with this design from seeing that. This beautiful Lovely Blossoms designer series paper and Lovely Arrangement stamps and dies help to make this lovely card.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Lovely Blossoms designer series paper (January 2025 Online Exclusive Stamin’ Up)
- Lovely Arrangements stamp set and dies (January 2025 Online Exlcusive Stampin’ Up)
- Secret Sea ink (2025-2027 In Color stamping’ Up)
- Paper trimmer
- Scoring board or blade for trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Mini Pop dots
From white card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 5 ½” and another piece cut to 2 ¼” x 7”, scored at 3 ½” and fold both in half. From the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper find the Secret Sea paper with the diamonds, the Petal Pink piece with the florets and the Petal Pink with the large flowers. From the Secret Sea diamonds paper cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”, and the same with the Petal Pink florets piece. From the large floral piece cut a piece to 2” x 3 ¼”.
Take a piece of Petal Pink card stock and the Lovely Arrangement dies and cut out one of the dots background pieces, and then cut it a second time cutting off one row, leaving three rows. Then with Secret Sea ink, stamp the “Hello Friend” greeting on the Petal Pink card stock and use the larger oval shaped die to cut it out.
On a piece of white card stock stamp the “You are so lovely” greeting in Secret Sea ink and use the smaller rectangle die. Then with the full flower stamp, ink the flower in Cloud Cover ink and then use the Secret Sea Stampin’ Write marker to color the center and huff on the stamp to warm up the ink and stamp. Clean between stamps. Stamp two of the full flowers and two of the half flowers. Then stamp two of the leaf stamp in Secret Sea ink. Use the flower and leaf dies to cut each of them out.
Now time to assemble. Take your card base measuring 4 ¼” x 11” folded in half and adhere the Secret Sea diamonds piece to the front. Then adhere the Petal Pink circles piece you cut to the right side of the card front leaving about 1/8” of the Secret Sea diamonds paper to the right. Use the oval label die to cut out your hole about 1/8” to the left side of the Petal Pink circles piece, cutting through to the inside. Take your flowers and leaves and curl the edges to add dimension. Then adhere one of the full flowers to the lower section of the Petal Pink circles piece and the half flower to the upper section. Take one of the leaves pieces and cut the three leaves into separate leaves and adhere behind your flowers to your licking. The use mini pop dots cut in half to adhere the “You are so lovely” greeting label to the bottom of your cut out.
For the inside of your card start by adhering the Petal Pink floret paper to the inside back of your card. Then take the smaller white folded piece and adhere to the center of your card back facing the back of your card so that it will slide through the slot. Adhere your large floral paper to the front of it. Adhere the “Hello Friend” Petal Pink label to the inside of the small white portion. Now adhere to two flowers and leaves in the lower left corner of the inside of your card, overlapping onto the white piece as well.
What a pretty card to give to a friend, I can’t wait to send it out.
