Rustic Crate True Friend Card

April 6, 2025 No Comments

I went a bit old school for today’s card with the Rustic Crate set and using an old tool that roughs up the edges and then I sponged them to antique the paper. It was fun to go back to using some old ways of doing things.

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

Natural card stock
A brighter color card stock for gloves
Tan card stock to cut the rake
Timeless Plaid designer series paper
Rustic Crate stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
Flowering Rain Boots dies (Stampin’ Up)
Dragonfly Garden stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
Early Expresso Black ink (Stampin’ Up)
Cinnamon Cider ink (Stampin’ Up)
Cinnamon Cider twine (Stampin’ Up)
Stampin Blends
- Old Olive light and dark
- Lemon Lime Twist light and dark
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

Cut your card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” using the Natural card stock then fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. With your Timeless Plaid card stock find the Old Olive green plaid piece, cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and then you should have a piece left that is ¾” x 4” to use for your inside. Take the scrapping tool (if you have one) or scissors and your two pieces of plaid paper and rough the edges, then use your sponge and Cinnamon Cider ink to sponge along your roughed edges. I also sponged the front cover edges of the card. Adhere the 4’ x 5 ¼” piece to the front of your card and the small piece to the left side of the inside of your card.

With some scrap Natural card stock, the plant stamp from the Rustic Crate stamp set and your Early Expresso ink and stamp two of the plants. Use your four green Stampin’ Blend markers to color the plants in different shades, I did Lemon Lime Twist Light, Old Olive Dark, Lemon Lime Twist Dark and then the Old Olive Light from left to right. Use the die from Rustic Crate to cut out your plants. Also cut a small tag with a die from the Natural card stock. Take a scrap piece of Cinnamon Cider card stock and the crate die from Rustic Crate and cut your crate. Use a brighter color card stock to cut the gloves from the Rustic Crate dies. Take a scrap piece of tan and the rake die from the Flowering Rain Boots dies and cut out the rake.

Take your plants and the crate and align the first row of plants to where you want them. If any of the roots are showing then cut them off leaving enough room to adhere to the crate. For the second row of plants, I cut the first two together and then cut the other two individually. Align them along the back spaced to your liking and adhere. Adhere the crate with plants to the front of your card, slightly to the left so you have room for your tag. Adhere the gloves and rake.

Take your tag, Cinnamon Cider ink and the “For a True Friend” greeting from Dragonfly Garden and stamp on your tag. Adhere your tag like it is tied to the plants. Take some of your twine and tie a bow and adhere to the top of your tag. For the inside of your card take the “May good things grow all year long” greeting and the Cinnamon Cider in and stamp on the inside of the card.

That completes your Rustic Crate True Friend card. Give it to a special friend to let them know you care.

Chalked Detailed Dogwood Sympathy Card

April 5, 2025 No Comments

I love dogwood trees, and it is almost time for them to start blooming. That has inspired me to use the Detailed Dogwood set for this card.

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

Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Harvest Meadow designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Detailed Dogwood stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Mixed Labels stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
Tag die
Crumb Cake ink (Stampin’ Up)
Chalk marker (Stampin’ Up)
Adhesive Backed Swirl Dots (Stampin’ Up)
Twine
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

Take your Crumb Cake card stock cut a card base to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut another piece to 3 5/8” x 4 7/8” for the inside and one more piece to 2 7/8” x 3 5/8” for the dogwood front piece. With white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” for the front of your card, a piece to 3 ¾”x 5” for the inside of your card, a piece to 3” x 3 ¾” for the front dogwood and then a piece to 2 1/8” x 4 ½” for the inside. From the Harvest Meadow designer series paper find the Crumb Cake colored piece with the branches and buds, cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.

Take the 2 7/8” x 3 5/8” piece of Crumb Cake card stock and the Crumb Cake ink and stamp the large dogwood from the Detailed Dogwood stamp set. On the inside piece of Crumb Cake you cut to 3 5/8” x 4 7/8”” stamp the smaller dogwood to the lower left corner. For both of your stamped dogwoods use the chalk marker to color in the flowers, it will probably take two layers to make the white really stand out. Then on the white piece measuring 2 1/8” x 4 ½” stamp the “Just a note to let you know you’re on my mind” greeting from the Mixed Labels stamp set toward the top. With a spare piece of white card stock, stamp the “with Sympathy” greeting, also from the Mixed Labels stamp set, and use a label die to cut it out. If there isn’t a string hole on your label die, you will need to punch one.

Adhere to the branches and buds piece of designer series paper and adhere to the white piece, then adhere to your card front. Take your large colored dogwood piece and adhere to the white. With your twine, wrap it around the large dogwood piece, string through your tag and then tie into a knot. Use pop dots to adhere that to the front of your card. Add a few of the crumb cake colored swirl dots.

For the inside of your card, take the Crumb Cake piece with the smaller dogwood and adhere to the white piece, then adhere your greeting piece to the right side of the dogwood. Adhere that to the inside of your card.

You have now made a lovely chalked detailed dogwood card to give to someone who has lost a loved one and you would like to let know you are there for them.

These adorable pigs just won my heart and I had to have this die set. I started thinking last night that I wanted to do a card with some of the plaid paper from Stampin’ Ups Timeless Plaid designer series paper and these pigs just popped into my head and that was it, they were getting used.

Then with your pink plaid paper cut a piece to 3 7/8” x 5” and a second piece to 7/8” x 3 7/8”. Now take your white card stock and cut it to 4” x 5 ¼”.

Grab some spare scraps of your Powder Pink card stock and cut 5 pigs, one with all four and then cut an extra with the one you like the most. Then with the Crumb Cake card stock and cut the wooden pen and then with a small piece cut out a corner with some of the grass cut to 7/8” x 1 ¾” with the grass extending past the 7/8”. Take your Tip Top Taupe market and color the grass areas on the wooden pen.

Now take a piece of spare white card stock and the “Hooray for you!” greeting stamp from the Quite Curvy stamp set. With the curvy die, make sure the curvy greeting is lined up in the same shape as the curved die so that it will line up when you cut it. Stamp it with the Rich Razzleberry ink. Take the die and line it up to cut the bottom of “Hooray for You” and cut which will leave the dots border. Do the same at the top which will cut it straight.

Take your piece of Rich Razzleberry and the large plaid and adhere the plaid to the Rich Razzleberry and then adhere that to the front of your card. Then adhere the wooden pen to the bottom of the front plaid piece. Align four of your pigs along the top of the wooden pen and then adhere each of them. Now adhere your Hooray for You greeting to the center of your plaid.

For the inside of your card, adhere the small piece of plaid to the left side of the white inside piece. If you haven’t already, color the grass hanging out on the small wooden pen you cut and then adhere to the lower left corner over part of the plaid. Adhere your last pig to the to of the wooden pen.

Mixed Floral Z-Fold Pop-Up Card

April 1, 2025 No Comments

This is a z-fold card, but with a pop-up twist, so there is a middle layer that pops up when you start to open the card. I love the colors, I saw someone else use them for a card so I decided to use the colors to make this style card.

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

Pretty in Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Mixed Floral designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)

With the Pretty in Pink card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” then score at 2 1/8 and 4 ¼” and fold the card in half and the fold the front quarter forward to form your z-fold. Cut another piece with the Pretty in Pink to 2 ¾” x 4 ¼”. With your white card stock cut a piece to 2” x 4 1/8”, one to 4 3/8” x 4 5/8” and a third piece to 2 5/8” x 4 1/8” and lastly one to 2 ½” x 3” scored at ½”, 1 ¼” and 2”.

Take the coneflower stamp from the Mixed Florals set and the Jet Black Staz-On ink and stamp on to a spare piece of white card stock. Color the leaves with the Mint Macaroon dark Stampin’ Blends, the dainty flowers and large flower centers with the Lemon Lolly light and dark Stampin’ Blends and the large flowers with the light and dark Pretty in Pink Stampin Blends. With the white piece measuring 2 5/8” x 4 1/8” and stamps from the Mixed Labels stamp set stamp the dainty flower stamp once or twice in the lower left corner and the “I’m so glad we’re friends” greeting in the upper left corner.

Now let’s assemble the card. Adhere the white piece of card stock measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” to the back of the card, and the black floral piece measuring 4” x 5 ¼” to the white card stock piece.

With the 2 ½” x 3” scored piece, fold into a square. Put adhesive on the top of the right side of ½” part. Fold in half with the glue half down, line up with the middle fold so it will lay flat with card closed. The put adhesive on the upper ½” section and fold card onto it again making sure it all lays flat. Take the Pretty in Pink piece and adhere your stamped white piece to it. Put adhesive on the top of your box piece and adhere this greeting piece to it centered.

Take the last white piece and adhere the black floral piece to that and adhere to the front of the card. Glue your large colored flowers to the front with it partially hanging of toward the center and making sure your greeting is covered.

Love Cats Circle Flap Card

March 30, 2025 No Comments

Anyone who knows me knows I love cats, and I have been trying to design this card in my head for a while as I wanted to do a layered card but that let you see all the cats even when the card was closed. I finally sat down and played with it yesterday and this was the result, and I was really happy with it.

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

White card stock
Copper Clay Stripe and Heart designer series paper (Stampin’ Up 2023-24 In Color)
Love Cats stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Two circle dies
Copper Clay ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Basic Black Ink (Stampin’ Up)
Copper Clay Stampin’ Blends or Stampin’ Marker (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With your Copper Clay card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ¼” and score at 1 ¾”, 2 ¾”, 4 ¼” and 5 ¼”. With your white card stock cut three pieces to 2 5/8” x 5 1/8”. With the striped designer series paper cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 3”. With the heart copper clay designer series paper cut two to 2 ¾” x 5 3/8”.

Take your three pieces of white card stock you cut, the Love Cats stamps and the Basic Black ink. Stamp the hanging cat on one piece at the top. With the cat flipped, stamp that in the lower right corner of the second piece. On the third piece stamp the laying cat about 2 ¼” (top of back) down. With the laying cat piece take scissors and cut the bottom out below the ledge so the paws and tail hanging off the ledge are cut out.

Take the hanging cat layer and adhere it to one of the heart pieces of paper. With the larger circle die cut out a partial circle at the bottom to show the flipped cat. Adhere this to the middle section of your card base. For the top layer, alight the striped piece where it would go on the top layer of your card base and flip upside down and with a pencil draw on the back side of the striped paper where the circle needs to be and then use that to line the circle die up and cut that circle out. Now adhere the white upper portion with the laying cat to the top of that making sure it measures a height of 5 3/8”. Lay your larger circle die upside down over the hanging cat, align your top layer where it would adhere on the top level and find where to cut the upper partial circle out of the top layer and cut out.

Now for the lower layer with the flipped cat, take both circle dies and align as above in the upper left corner, making sure you are leaving enough room for the inside circle to stamp the “I love hanging out with you” greeting, and cut out both circles together. Adhere the lower part with the cat onto your last heart designer series paper piece. Then align your upper corner and adhere that. With the “I love hanging out with you” greeting and your Copper Clay ink, stamp your greeting. Adhere this to the back or your card base. With the Copper Clay marker color in the open hearts on each of your stamped images.

You now have the Love Cats flap card to give so someone you love spending time with. I am absolutely in love with this card and so happy with how it turned out after spending so much time trying to figure it out in my head.

The fun and easy Hexagon card is just adorable. I love this striped piece of paper from the Mixed Medial Florals designer series paper pack from Stampin’ Up.

Now let’s get our hexagon edges created. On the 4 ¼” ends of your Peach Pie card base lightly mark the center with a pencil and then with a triangle die (mine are triangle nested dies from InLove Arts) align the point to that center and make it look even at each point on your edges then cut in about an inch, you don’t want to go too far or you will cut the rest of the triangle into your card. Repeat on the other end. If you don’t have a triangle die you can just cut to your center mark with scissors.

On both of your white pieces turn upside down and lay a cut end of your card base on, push out toward one end about ¼” and with your pencil draw the same shape onto you white then push out to the other end and do the same, cut those ends. Then with your white cut piece do the same to your Peach Pie striped piece. Now adhere the white to the front of your Peach Pie card base and the striped piece to the front of that.

With a scrap piece of your Peach Pie card stock cut out the floral label die from the Sentimntal Park dies retired from Stampin’ Up and cut a label. With a scrap piece of White card stock cut the insert label. Insert your white label into your Peach Pie floral label and adhere. Take your With You In Mind stamps from Stampin’ Up and use the “Best Wishes” greeting and your Peach Pie ink and stamp “Best Wishes” on your label. Adhere your label, centered, on the front of your card.

Now take your second white piece and adhere inside of your card. With a scrap piece of Peach Pie card stock cut another floral label and cut off the floral ends and use to decorate each side point of your card as shown below.

Lovely Garden Step Card

March 22, 2025 No Comments

Lovely Garden Step Card

I made this card up in my mind this morning with this fun step card design using the Lovely Garden designer series paper. I had to cut three before I figured out the measurements, but I got there in the end and was really happy with it.

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

Fresh Fresia card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Boho Blue card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Lovely Garden designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Happy Birthday Label dies (Spellbinders Advent Calendar 2024)
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Scissor
Adhesive of choice

The base takes a bit of measuring, cutting and scoring, but once you are done with that it is really easy to put together. Take your Fresh Fresia and cut a card base of 5 ½” x 7 ¾”. Now the tricky part, score on the long edge at 3” all the way across and then at 5 7/8 going in only about 1 ¼” and then at 6 ¾” only going in 1 ¼”. Then the same at the last 1 ¼” at those 5 7/8” and 6 ¾”. Now with your paper cutter cut 1 ¼” in from the center score and stopping at the 1” score. Do the same on the other side. Then with your center panel cut ½” down from the center score toward the scored steps so the rest of your center panel is free. Now fold the bottom 1” down to the front, fold the next one down to create your step. Fold your card into the final shape, so your step is folded in and the center panel is now up above your base card. Lift the center panel and put glue on the ½” section in the center and fold your center panel down onto it.

With your Boho Blue card stock cut the following:

Two pieces to 1 1/8” x 2 ¾” for the sides
One piece to 7/8” x 5 3/8” for the bottom step
One to 2 7/8” x 4 1/8” for the center panel
One to 2 7/8” x 5 3/8” for the inside

With the white card stock cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼”.

From your Lovely Garden designer series paper pack find the Fresh Fresia piece with the little flowers on it and the blue piece with the medium size purple flowers. With the Fresh Fresia with the little flowers, cut two pieces to 1” x 2 5/8” and one to ¾” x 5 ¼” (make sure you are paying attention to the direction of the design). From the medium blue floral paper cut a piece for your center panel to 2 ¾” x 4”.

Adhere the Fresh Fresia designer series paper measuring ¾” x 5 1/4” to the Boho Blue strip measuring 7/8” x 5 3/8” and adhere that to the front of the step. Take the two pieces of Boho Blue measuring 1 1/8” x 2 ¾” and adhere the two purple pieces measuring 1” x 2 5/8” to the blue and then adhere on of each to each side of the card.

Take the medium floral piece cut for the center panel and the blue piece cut for here and adhere the floral piece to the blue and then to the center panel.

Now adhere the white card stock piece and the Boho Blue piece cut for the inside and then adhere the inside of your card. Take a scrap section of the blue with medium purple flowers and cut out two flowers and two leaves for each side of the front of the step for decoration and one full flower with a leaf and one of the buds for the inside. Adhere each for decoration. With a scrap piece of the Fresh Fresia card stock and your happy birthday die and matching label die and cut your happy birthday label and adhere to the front.

That creates this lovely floral step happy birthday card.

Mixed Floral Angled Z-Fold Card

March 20, 2025 No Comments

It has taken me a long time to come up with a card design I am happy with for this stamp set, but I am really happy with what I finally came up with. And of course a Z-fold card is where I landed, but the angled Z-fold, which I haven’t made of like this for a while.

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

Daffodil Delight card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Soft Sea Foam (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Delightful Wishes designer series paper
Mixed Floral stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
Magnolia Mood (Stampin’ Up)
Jet Black StazOn ink
Light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’ Up)
Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin Blends (Stampin’ Up)
Dark Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’ Up)
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Scissors
Adhesive of choice

Take a piece of Daffodil Delight card stock and cut to 5 ½” x 11” and then on your paper trimmer line the left edge at the 5 ½” edge and then move the right end up so it is at 3 ½” and cut to get your angle. With your straight bottom edge of your card base so starting at the long edge, score at 4 ¼” and at 7 5/8”, folding the middle to the right and the top panel to the left to form your Z-fold.

With the polka dot designer series paper from the Delightful Wishes paper pack, cut a piece to 5 ¼” x 11” and cut the same angle with 5 ¼” at the left end and 3 ¼” on the right edge. Cut from the small edge for your front panel to 3 1/8” wide, then cut off a ¼” and cut another piece 3 1/8” wide for the middle panel and then cut off a ¼” and cut your back panel to 4” wide. Take the middle panel and cut another going the opposite direction out of the polka dot paper and one the same direction from a piece of white card stock.

Take your card base and your small panel for the front and adhere. Then adhere your large panel to the back panel. Adhere the middle panel to the middle panel when the card is fully open, and the opposite direct one goes on the back side of the middle panel so when the card it closed it has the same decorative paper.

With your remaining piece of angled white card stock with the highest part of your angle to the left. With the Magnolia Mood “Happy Birrthday” greeting stamp and your Jet Black StazOn stamp the greeting. Adhere this to the back panel of your card aligning to the left side and aligning the bottom so it doesn’t show when your card is closed.

With your large tulip stamp from Mixed Florals and your Jet Black StazOn Ink stamp the design and then stamp the right half again for the inside. Color the leaves of both with the Dark Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends, color the tulips with the Light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends, highlight with the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends if you would like, and color the little flowers with the Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. Use the Mixed Florals dies to cut out the full image and also the partial. Then take a pair of scissors and trim down the partial one along the large leave between the two tulips to the right so you just get the one tulip.

Then with your Soft Sea Foam card stock cut two of the large leaves with the die from Mixed Florals. Adhere the to leaf cut outs to the front of your card with the one toward the right hanging over the edge a bit and both hanging over the top, but not higher than your 5 ½” card height. Now adhere the full size colored tulip cut-out to the front centered between the two leaf pieces. Take the small cut out and adhere that to the inside panel to the right aligned along the side of you white panel but to the right edge so it shows with the full size one when closed.

Now that I finally came up with a design, I am happy with I really like this card and I hope you do as well.

Nests of Winter Warbler Card

March 18, 2025 No Comments

This is a fun card and pretty easy and straight forward to make. I have mentioned before but I love my birds, so this paper is one of my favorites. I feed the birds daily and I get a warbler every once in a while, but that is maybe once a year if I am lucky that I get to see one so at least I can make a card with them on it.

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

Daffodil Delight card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Blueberry Bushel card stock (Stampin’s Up)
White card stock
Nests of Winter designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder (Stampin’ Up)
Framed Florets stamp set
Blueberry Bushel ink (Stampin’ Up)
Daffodil Delight ink (Stampin’ Up)
Blue cord
Sponge
Paper trimmer
Scissors
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With your Daffodil Delight card stock, cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Take your Blueberry Bushel card stock and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and cut a piece to 1 ½” x 1 ¾” for the label. Now with your white card stock cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 5” and another for the inside of your card to 4” x 5 ¼ inch and one for the label to 1 3/8” x 1 5/8”. Get your Nest of Winter designers series paper pack and find the paper that has the birds on it and cut out one of the warblers, which is the blue and yellow bird.

Take the Birch Wood embossing folder and your white piece measuring 3 ¾” x 5” and emboss. Take your Daffodil Delight ink and your sponge and sponge all four edges of your embossed white piece. With your blue cord, tie a piece around the white embossed piece and tie into a knot or bow. Adhere that to the Blueberry Bushel piece cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and then adhere that to the front of your card base. Take the bird you cut out and adhere to the front of your card toward the upper left corner.

With your Framed Florets stamp set find the “For a special person for a special friend” greeting and the Blueberry Bushel ink and stamp on the small piece of white you cut earlier. Adhere that to the small piece of Bluberry Bushel you cut and adhere that to the lower right corner of the front of your card.

Take the last piece of white you cut for the inside of your card and with the “Wishes for a beautiful birthday” greeting stamp and your Blueberry Bushel ink stamp for your inside greeting. Then with your Blueberry Bushel ink and your sponge, sponge all four edges and adhere that to the inside of your card.

That is your Nests of Winter Warbler card and a great birthday card for anyone.
