Notes of Spring Notes of Thanks Card

No Comments

Such a cute deer in this Notes of Spring stamp set from Stampin’ Up and adding the little dragonfly from the Scalloped Wishes stamp set was the touch it needed.  The Wood Grain Wonders designer series paper made the perfect background. 

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

  • Pecan Pie card stock (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Wood Grain Wonders designer series paper (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Notes of Spring stamp set (March 2026 Product of the Month Stampin’ Up)
  • Scalloped Wishes stamps and dies (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Pecan Pie or Baked Brown Sugar ink (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Pear Pizzazz (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From your white card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half.  Cut a piece to 2 ½” x 2 7/8” to stamp on and one to ¾” x 2” for your label.  From Peacan Pie card stock cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  With your Wood Crain Wonders designer series paper pack, find the piece in Pecan Pie color and cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”.  Align one edge with both pieces and tear together to make a matching tear, repeat on each side giving you’re a small layer of the Pecan Pie layer. 

With the white piece measuring 2 ½” x 2 7/8” and stamp the large ground piece and then the small one next to it in Pecan Pie ink (or Baked Brown Sugar ink as I didn’t have Pecan Pie) to form the ground.  Stamp the large grass piece on the large ground piece and the small grass on the small ground.  Take the small dragonfly from the Scalloped Wishes and stamp one in the upper right corner above the small grass. 

On a scrap piece of white card stock stamp the deer outline in Pecan Pie ink and then with the fill-in stamp ink with your Pecan Pie ink and stamp off once and then stamp inside your deer outline.  Use a pair of scissors to cut out your deer.  On a small scrap of white stamp the small dragonfly in Pecan Pie ink and use the die to cut out.  Use the Pear Pizzazz ink to stamp the “A little note of thanks”greeting on your white label.  Adhere your dragonfly cutout to the upper left corner of your label with a half of a pop dot. 

Adhere your two torn pieces together and then to the front of your card base.  Adhere your stamped white piece to the upper portion of the Wood Grain paper on the front of your card.  Use pop dots to adhere the deer over the ground stamps with the grasses showing.  Adhere the label to the lower right side. 

For the inside I didn’t put a greeting as I was just leaving it as a note, but I did stamp another of the small dragonfly in the upper left corner and a deer in the lower left corner using the same technique of stamping the outline and stamping off the fill-in.

That little deer is so cute and made a pretty thank you card for anyone.

Stargazing UFO Out of This World Card

No Comments

I received the Spellbinders 2025 Advent as a gift and one of the dies and stamp sets was all related to UFOs.  There is a die set for the UFOs and a stamp set with a few sayings to coordinate.  I used In The Pines stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up for the trees on the inside of the card and their Stargazing designer series paper which matched perfect for the front of the card. 

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

  • Light Blue card stock (unknown)
  • Misty Moonlight card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Silver glitter card stock (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Gold glitter card stock (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Stargazing designer series paper (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Out of this World word stamps (Advent 2025 Spellbinders)
  • In The Pines stamps and dies (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • UFO dies S2-428 W20 (Advent 2025 Spellbinders)
  • Tempting Turquise ink (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Soft Suede ink (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow in (Stampin’ Up)
  • Wink of Stella glitter pen (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

With the light blue card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half and another piece to 3 ¾” x 5” for the inside and a label to ¾” x 2”.  From Misty Moonlight card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and another for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From the Stargazing designer series paper pack find the piece with the blue galaxy with the stary background and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” that has the galaxy running through the middle with stars showing around it.

From a scrap piece of the light blue paper cut two of the round pieces with the window holes and two of the saucer pieces.  Cut the bottom portion of the round pieces.  From the silver glitter paper cut two of the background pieces.  From the gold glitter paper die cut one of the beams pieces and break into three.  Use a sponge and sponge the edges of your round pieces and your saucer pieces and then cover each piece in Wink of Stella for a shine.  Adhere the silver glitter pieces to the back of the circle and the saucer pieces to the top bottom of your ships.  Adhere your three gold glitter pieces beaming out of the bottom of one of your ships to use on the inside of your card. 

Take the label piece you cut from light blue and stamp the “you are out of this world” greeting in Tempting Turquoise ink.  Use a sponge to sponge the edges with Tempting Turquoise ink and then cover the whole label with Wink of Stella to give it a shine. 

Now adhere the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” Misty Moonlight card stock to the front of your card and the Stargazing paper to the front of that.  Then use pop dots to adhere your no-beam space ship to the upper right corner of your card.  Adhere your label to the lower left corner with pop dots as well. 

For the inside of your card adhere your light blue piece to your Misty Moonlight piece.  Use your Tempting Turquoise in and stamp the “rolling by to say hi” greeting in the upper center of your light blue piece.  With your In The Pines stamp set stamp two of the small single trees and one of the four grouped small trees in Soft Suede ink and then the fill in pieces with Mossy Meadow ink then die cut each of them.  Adhere the two single trees in the lower left corner and your grouped trees in the lower right corner.  Then adhere your space ship with the beams going slightly under your trees.  Then adhere your piece to the inside back of your card. 

This card turned out so cute, took me a bit of time to get it finished but turned out better than I expected.

Painted Illusions Happy Birthday Pop-Up Blocks Card

No Comments

I have looked at making this pop-up style card for a while and this paper from the Painted Illusions designer series paper from Stampin’ Up seemed perfect for it.  I am not usually a fan of bright papers so breaking it up into small pieces with a calming background warmed it all up.  I love how it turned out and while there was a bit more cutting that usual, especially since I did two layers, it really went together fairly fast. 

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

  • Lost Lagoon card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Painted Illusions designer series paper (March 2026 Product of the Month Stampin’ Up)
  • 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
  • Lost Lagoon ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From a piece of Lost Lagoon card stock cut these pieces:

  • A card base to 4 ¼” x 8 ½” and score at 1 ½” and 3”. Fold the middle small panel in and the outside small panel out to form a “z” fold. 
  • 3 ¼” x 4 ½” and score at 1 ¼”, 3”, and 4 ¼” and fold all inwards
  • 2 ¼” x 3 ¾” and score at 1”, 2 ½” and 3 ½” and fold all inwards
  • 1 ¼” x 3” and score at ¾”, 2” and 2 ¾” and fold all inwards

From white card stock cut the following:

  • Two pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” for the back of the card base and back panel
  • Two to 1 3/8” x 4 1/8”
  • 1 5/8” x 3 1/8”
  • 1 3/8” x 2 1/8”
  • 1 1/8” x 1 1/8”

From the Painted Illusions designer series paper find the Lost Lagoon decorative piece and also the Lost Lagoon and Granny Apple Green “swooshy” piece.  From the Lost Lagoon decorative piece cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From the swooshy piece cut the following:

  • Three pieces to 1 ¼” x 4”
  • 1 ½” x 3”
  • 1 ¼” x 2
  • 1” x 1”

For one of the 1 ¼” x 4” and each of the other three, if you need a pattern to align, as I did, then cut them all from the same piece in order and then an even about off the top and bottom of the last three pieces. 

Adhere the large white piece to the back panel of your card base and then the Lost Lagoon decorative piece to the top of that.  Adhere your first 1 ¼” x 4” “swooshy” piece that starts your patterns that align to one of the white pieces measuring 1 3/8” x 4 1/8”, and then adhere that to the top of your front panel.  Use one of the other two “ swooshy” pieces to adhere to one of the white pieces and adhere to the front of the middle panel. 

Now time to create your steps.  Adhere each of your smaller “swooshy” pieces to their appropriate white pieces and then adhere each to the second section of each of the appropriate steps.  Take your largest step and adhere adhesive to the first panel, adhere in the center of the middle card base panel, then put adhesive on the ¼” section of the block, fold the third and fourth panel up and then fold your card down to find the appropriate spot, repeat for the next two sections. 

With the large floral stamp with the three flowers and your Lost Lagoon ink, stamp them on a scrap piece of white.  Color the leaves with the Light Garden Green Stampin’ Blends pen.  Fussy cut out the three flowers and the colored leaves.  Then stamp the “happy birthday” greeting and cut out a rectangle around it.  Adhere the large flower to the bottom of the first panel with a single leaf and the triple leaves and then adhere the Happy Birthday greeting, angled up above the second and third pop-up blocks.  Adhere the middle flower and one of the two leaves to the upper portion of the second panel and the small flower and two leaves to the fourth pane. 

For the back of the card adhere the large piece of white to the back and then the last “swooshy” piece to the left side of the right.  Stamp a birthday greeting in Lost Lagoon ink centered in the upper portion of the rest of the white.  I used a stamp that says “wishing you a day of little treasures and simple pleasures, happy birthday” which is a single stamp I have had for a long time but don’t know who made it. 

This card turned out so cute, and it is so out of my normal range, so I was so excited about it.

Delicate Dreams Thanks for Being You Card

No Comments

The Delicate Dreams floral designer series papers from Stampin’ Up are so pretty and cheerful.  This is a really plain and simple card but turned out just like I had it in my head, which doesn’t happen most of the time.  I really liked the darkness of the Secret Sea paper and the Gray Granite to pull the colors from this floral paper. 

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

  • Secret Sea card stock (2025-27 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Gray Granite card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Delicate Dreams designer series paper (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Delicate Whisters stamp set (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Charming Day stamp set (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Circle Dies
  • Secret Sea ink (2025-27 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Variegated Trim ribbon (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From your Secret Sea card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Cut a piece of Gray Granite for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”.  With your Delicate Dreams designer series paper find the piece of Gray Granite and the floral paper that has the Gray Granite flowers.  From the Gray Granite dsp paper cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and from the floral piece cut it to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”.  With a scrap piece of Secret Sea use a circle die about 2 ¾” and cut one.  With the Gray Granite dsp or a scrap piece of Gray Granite card stock use the 2 3/8” circle die to cut out one. 

Take the two circles you cut and adhere together.  Take the “Thanks for being you” stamp from the Charming Day stamp set and Secret Sea ink and stamp evenly in an upper portion so you can trim the left and bottom. 

Adhere your floral piece of paper to the Gray Granite dsp paper.  Adhere a piece of the Variegated Trim ribbon about ¾” up from the bottom and adhere on the back of each side.  Adhere your circle in the lower left corner and trim off the overhanging portion at the left side and bottom.  Now adhere this to the front of your card base. 

Take the Gray Granite piece of card stock you cut and stamp the “you made my day” greeting and your Secret Sea in and stamp in the upper center.  Then use the floral sprig stamp going to the right and with your Secret Sea ink and stamp in the lower left corner.  Adhere to the inside of the card. 

What a pretty simple floral card to thank someone for doing something special for you.
