This pop-up gate fold card made with the Velvet Meadow designer series paper from Stampin’ Up is just adorable and such a surprise when you open the card. The addition of a bit of the Velveteen Assortment flocked pink paper adds a wonderful touch. Then I used the Flowering Meadow stamps and dies to complete it all.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Cloud Cover card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Velveteen Assortment specialty paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
- Velvet Meadow designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
- Flowering Meadow stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
- Cloud Cover Ink (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
- Cloud Cover Linen Ribbon (Stampin’ Up)
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
There is a bunch of cutting to start and then it all just goes together quick. Start with a piece of Cloud Cover card stock for your card base by cutting to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 2 1/8” and 6 3/8” and fold each outside piece in. Now with your paper trimmer cut 1” down from the top on your center panel, and then 1” up from the bottom. The score each of your 1” section of the center at 5 ½” from the left end. The score the middle center panel at 3 1/8” and 5 3/8” in from the left side.
Now from white card stock cut:
- Four panels to 2” x 5 3/8”
- Four panels to 7/8” x 2”
- One to 2 1/8” x 3 3/8”
- Two panels to 7/8” x 3 3/8”
Floral paper from the Velvet Meadow designer series paper:
- Four panels to 1 7/8” x 5 ¼”
From the Pink flocked paper from the Velveteen Assortment Specialty designer series paper pack cut:
- Four panels to ¾” x 1 7/8”
From the Cloud Cover checked designer series paper from the Velvet Meadow pack cut:
- Two panels to ¾” x 3 ½”
Now it is time to assemble, starting with the four white panels measuring 2” x 5 3/8” and the four floral panel, and here one of each together. With your card base open adhere one panel to the left side and one panel to the right side. Now fold your card closed. With the Cloud Cover Linen ribbon cut two pieces about 9” long and adhere one to the back left side of one of the panels and then adhere to the front left panel, and the do the same for the right side.
Now take the four white panels measuring 7/8” x 2” and the four pink panels and adhere together and then adhere one of each to each side of your top and bottom section of the center. Now adhere the two 7/8” x 3 5/8” white panels and the two Cloud Cover checked panels together and adhere to each side of the middle center panel. Then adhere the larger white piece left to the middle center panel.
From the Flowering Meadows stamp set stamp one of the sprigs in cloud cover ink on a scrap piece of white. Also stamp the “Thanks” greeting in Cloud Cover Ink and cut out as a label and do the same with the “for showing you care” greeting.
Cut out the sprig with the appropriate die and adhere to the lower left corner of the middle center panel. Now take the “for showing you care” label you cut and adhere to a Cloud Cover scrap and cut out the label with about a 1/8” edge. Adhere this label over the sprig across the bottom of your middle center panel.
Now take the “thanks” greeting and adhere to a scrap piece of Cloud Cover card stock and trim around your label with a 1/8” boarder. Adhere your label to the lower left corner on an angle. Tie a bow to hold your card closed.
What a lovely way to say thanks to someone you care about.
