Fine Art Floral Lovely Card

This beautiful card is made with the Fine Art Floral designer series paper from Stampin’ Up.  This section of the paper was just calling out to be the star of a card (though the pinks look a lot different in the photos, they matched in person).    

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

  • Petal Pink card stock
  • Poppy Parade card stock
  • Fine Art Floral designer series paper (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Poppy Parade or Sweet Sorbet ink (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Art Gallery stamps (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With the Petal Pink card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Then cut another piece to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8” for the inside and a piece to ¾” x 3 7/8” for the bottom greeting portion of the card.  From Poppy Parade cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From the Fine Art Floral designer series paper pack find the Petal Pink with pink flowers piece and choose one section to showcase on your card, cut to 3 7/8” x 4 ½”.

Adhere the floral piece to the top of one of the Poppy Parade Pieces.  Take your ¾” x 3 7/8” piece of Petal Pink you cut along with the “you are lovely” greeting from the Art Gallery stamp set and stamp in Poppy Parade (or in my case Sweet Sorbet).  Adhere to the bottom portion below the floral piece. 

Wrap some of the white Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon between the two and adhere to the back of the Poppy Parade.  Adhere this to the front of your Petal Pink card  base. 

Take the Petal Pink piece you cut to the Poppy Parade piece and adhere to the inside of your card.  I decided not to stamp a greeting to the inside so it could be used for a variety of reasons. 

This card was so fast and easy, it just took a few minutes to put together and I would give it to anyone of my friends or family.

Fine Art Floral Bandstand Card

I finally made a bandstand style card, as it has been on my list to try but was waiting for something that seemed like it fit well.  The Fine Art Floral that had the matching Golden Garden transparent designer series paper from Stampin’ Up a few years ago seemed like the perfect fit as the Golden Garden paper lines up to match with the Fine Art Floral paper. 

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

  • Crushed Curry card stock
  • White card stock
  • Fine Art Floaral designer series paper (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Golden Garden transparent designer series paper (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Art Gallery stamps and dies (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Crushed Curry ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

I used Crushed Curry but it isn’t one of the colors listed, looks like it is So Saffron but I couldn’t find a piece of that.  This card is actually pretty quick to make, a bit of cutting but not really any stampings, so just cut and put together. 

With your Crushed Curry card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 5 ½ and score at 1 1/8” and 3 1/8” and fold both sides to the front.  The cut another two pieces to 1 ¼” x 4 ¾” scored at ¼”, 1 3/8”, 3 3/8” and 4 ½” and fold all to the back.  With your white card stock cut a piece to 1 7/8” x 5 3/8” for the back of your card. 

From the Fine Art Floral designer series paper of and the piece that has the floral and white space in the upper left that matches up with the piece of Golden Garden transparent designer series paper.  You will want to cut the same sections of each so they line up, cut each to 3 7/8” x 5 3/8” and cut 1” off of each side of both pieces.  Then find the yellow design piece of paper and cut two pieces to 1 1/8” x 3 7/8” and then cut 1” off of each side, keeping them aligned together.

Take your three pieces of floral paper and adhere to the front three panels of your card base.  Take the two outside pieces of your Golden Garden and adhere to each side of the back of your card base, and adhere the white piece to the back.  Use a general birthday greeting stamp to the upper center of your white piece in Crushed Curry ink.  I used a stamp greeting that says “wishing you the best today and always.”

Take your two Crushed Curry stripes and adhere the yellow designer series paper pieces to the three sections of each.  Adhere the Golden Garden to the back of one of the yellow stripe center sections, leaving about 1/16” and then adhere to the other piece.  Adhere all four ¼” tabs to the front of your card base. 

With a spare piece of white card stock and Crushed Curry ink stamp the “Happy Birthday” greeting from the Art Gallery stamp set and use the long postage edge die to cut it out.  I did cut it twice, closer on one end to short it and the lined up and cut off the other end.  Adhere onto a small piece of Crushed Curry and adhere to the lower front. 

This was a quick fun card to make, not sure why I waited so long to try making one.

An Open Heart Thank You Card

The wren was outside my craftroom window today which seemed like a sign that I needed to make a wren card.  I used a few antiquing features on this one as I haven’t in a while and I love cards that look a little old or weathered. 

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

  • Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  •  Peaceful Garden designer series paper (July 2025 Online Exclusive from Stampin’ Up)
  • Pear Pizzaz ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  •  Crumb Cake ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scrapper (Retired Stampin’ Up) or Scissors
  • Sponge
  • Blending Brush – Small (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From 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”.  With your white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, and two to 3 ½” x 4 ¾”.  In the Peaceful Garden designer series paper pack, find the only sheet that is Crumb Cake colored with the white florets, cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

With some spare Crumb Cake cut out three floret pieces, these are teasel burrs (I don’t know where this die is from).  Take one of your 3 ½” x 4 ¾” pieces of white you cut along with the Pear Pizzaz ink and your blending brush, lightly run your blending brush through the ink and blend around on your paper.  Tear all four edges and then use your Crumb Cake ink and a piece of sponge and sponge along your torn edges and also add a bit to your Pear Pizzaz.  Then from An Open Heart stamp set take the wren bird stamp and stamp to the left side of your piece.  Take your “So much my heart would like to say . . .” stamp and stamp in Crumb Cake ink on a small spare piece of white card stock.  Again tear your edges on all four sides and sponge Crumb Cake onto the edge. 

Now with the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” piece of white you cut, use your scrapper or one edge of a pair of scissors and scrape along the edge to roughen.  Do the same to the Crumb Cake Floret piece of designer series paper you cut.  Use your sponge and Crumb Cake ink to sponge the roughened edges. 

Adhere the Crumb Cake Floret piece to the white piece and then adhere that to the front of your Crumb Cake card base.  Adhere your wren piece toward the left side of the Crumb Cake Floret piece.  Adhere two of the Tessel Burrs you die cut to the right side of the card front.  With pop dots adhere your greeting over the stems of the Tessel Burrs and your wren piece.

For the inside of your card take the last piece of white card stock you cut  and your Crumb Cake ink and stamp the “Thank You” greeting in the upper center.  Adhere your last die cut tessel burr to the left side.  Sponge around the edges using your Crumb Cake ink.  Adhere to the back inside of your card. 

I think the Wrens outside my craftroom would love the tribute card to them.

Pop-up Floral Envelope Get Well Card

I have been working on this one for a bit trying to get it planned out the way I wanted it.  I have created this card to lay flat and fit into a standard 4 ½” x 5 ¾” envelop.  With measurement it isn’t as hard as it looks, just some time to die cut flowers and leaves.  This pop-up envelope full of flowers get well card is cheerful and will brighten anyone’s day.

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

  • Card stock (All Stampin’ Up colors)
    • Pool Party
    • Lemon Lolly
    • Daffodil Delight
    • Peach Pie
    • Powder Pink or Pretty in Pink
    • Old Olive
    • Mossy Meadow
  • Floral Impression designer series paper
  • Impressions Abloom dies
  • Small tag die
  • Mini Mates stamp set (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • SSC 1221 stamp set (Stampendous)
  • Pool Party ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Corner Punch
  • Adhesive of choice

With your Pool Party card stock cut a piece to 5 3/4” x 8 ½” and along the 8 ½” length score at 1 ¾”, 2 ½”, 6” and 6 ¾”, then turn and score the length of the 8 ½” at 3”.  Along the 8 ½” long score mark take a pair of scissors and cut from each edge in 2 ½” leaving your center section uncut.  The cut down the 2 ¾” part to leave just the center section.  On each of your 1 ¾” sides, mark down ¾” and cut on a angle.  On your single center section, mark the top at 1 ¾” center and cut your angles to form your envelope flap.  Use a corner punch to round the top of the flap. 

Now still with your Pool Party card stock cut a piece to 2” x 3 ½”, mark your 3 ½” length at 1 ¾” and angle from each edge to form a triangle.  Cut another piece to 3” x 4” and score on the 4” side at ¼” and 3 ¾” and another piece to 2 ½” x 4” and score on the 4” side at ¼” and 3 ¾”.  Now from the Floral Impressions designer series paper find the Pool Party piece with the dotted circles and cut two pieces to 1 ½” x 3” and angle mark down ¾” and cut the angle, and then cut the opposite angle to the second piece.  Cut another piece to 2” x 3 1/4” and angle into a triangle and use the corner round to cut the top.  Cut one last piece to for the back flap to 2 ½” x 3 ¼” and angle into a triangle for the top back flap and use a corner rounder to match.  These last two cuts are different than the picture shows as I had to adjust as I went.

Adhere the top back flap designer series paper to the flap.  Fold your scores all inward.  Adhere to two angled side designer series paper pieces to each side.  Now take your 3 ½” x 4” piece and fold your scored sides down.  Adhere each side to the inside section of your card with the fold pushed all the way to the back leaving a ¼” gap between the back of the card and the section.  Then do the same with the 2 ½” x 4” piece, pushing the scored flaps to the first section leaving another ¼” gap.  Adhere the other triangle designer series paper to the Pool Party triangle and then adhere one side to the bottom of one of the angel sides and then to the other to hold your pop-up box together.  Having the open bottom allows you to be able to fold your envelope flat to put into an envelope. 

Next let’s cut some flowers.  With the Impressions Abloom dies use the daisy looking die and center cut die to cut four pink flower from your Powder Pink or Pretty in Pink card stock and four flower centers from Daffodil Delight with the smaller size center die and the decorative center die.  Cut three of the single stems from the Old Olive card stock and build your flowers, leaving one without a stem. 

Now from your Peach Pie card stock and your smaller flower die and the center impression die and cut five along with five centers from the Daffodil Delight card stock but without the center impression die, adhere centers to the flowers (set one flower aside for the back of your card).

With your Lemon Lolly card stock and the small half flower double die cut four sets (eight total) and with your Daffodil Delight cut four of the large half flower.  With Old Olive cut one single and two of the double stems.  With three of your large half flowers arrange and adhere two of the small yellow half flowers to the back to form a full two-color flower.  With the two small flowers tear a section of the one large flower to form your two small flowers.  Add the single stem to one of the large and use one large and one small on the two double stems, and then cut them apart so you can use them separately. 

From some scrap Pool Party and the dainty small 3-flower dies cut enough to fill three double stems with 3-5 flowers on each stem, to your liking.  Cut these stems into individual stems as well. 

Now with your Old Olive and your two matching leaf dies cut 5 sets to use randomly and with the Mossy Meadow and the four-leaf die cut three of those to use (set one of the individual leaves aside with your peach flower for the back of your card). 

Arrange the flowers to your liking on the three different levels leaving one pink, one peach, and three of the individual leave for the front.  Adhere these to the front once you have arranged and adhered all the others.

With your “Get Well Soon” stamp from the Mini Mates stamp set from Stampin’ Up and with the Pool Party ink stamp on a piece of Lemon Lolly and use a small tag die to cut it out. Adhere to the front of your card. 

For the back of your card cut a piece of Lemon Lolly to 2 ¾” x 3 ¼”.  Adhere the Peach Pie flower and leaf you set aside in the lower left corner.  Use your Pool Party ink and the “A bouquet . . . to celebrate you!” greeting from the SSC 1221 Stampendous stamp set and stamp in the upper center.  Adhere to the back of your card.

You have created a beautiful get well card to have for when needed.

Tulip Birthday Card

I went old school with this one, this is the first stamp set I ever bought from Stampin’ Up almost 20 years ago.  I decided to get it out and make a card today.  Unfortunately, it is so old that it doesn’t have a label anymore so I don’t know the name of the set, but it is beautiful just the same. 

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

  • Strawberry Slush card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Melon Mambo card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Tulip stamps (Retired Stampin’ Up set but I don’t know the name)
  • Happy Birthday and Inside birthday greeting stamps (Retired Stampin’ Up but also don’t know from what set)
  • Strawberry Slush and Pretty and Pink Gems (Stampin’ Up)
  • Strawberry Slush ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Old Olive ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder or an old-style corrugator
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With your Strawberry Slush card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  From your Melon Mambo or another piece of Strawberry Slush, cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 4 ½”.  From your white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 6”, one to 3 ½” x 4 ¼” and a third piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Take the 4” x 6” piece and corrugate with either an embossing folder and a corrugator and then cut to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

Gather your 3 ½” x 4 ¼” piece of white card stock, your tulip stamp set and your Strawberry Slush and Old Olive inks.  Start with the outside outline tulip stamp and stamp that in Strawberry Slush three times, arranging at different levels to the left side of the card stock.  Then with the fuller tulip stamp, stamp off (stamp once on scrap paper) and then stamp to the inside of the first stamp to form your tulips.  Then with your Old Olive ink stamp three stems and leaves as you like.  Then stamp your “happy birthday” greeting to the lower right. 

Adhere your white corrugated piece to the front of your card base.  Then center the Melon Mambo (or Strawberry Slush) piece and then your stamped piece on top of the Melon Mambo.  Then take your Strawberry Slush larger size embellishments and adhere three in a row in the upper right corner of your stamped piece. 

For your inside piece, stamp another tulip in the lower right corner and your birthday greeting of choice in the upper center.  Adhere to the inside of your card. 

There is my old school tulip birthday card.

Layers of Beauty Anniversary Card

I finally got the Layers of Beauty bundle, I am not sure why I didn’t have it already.  I made this anniversary card which is great to have a set to do something different.  Using the masks was a lot of fun and it adds a layer of elegance. 

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

  • White card stock
  • Impressions Abloom designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Layers of Beauty stamps, dies and masks (Stampin’ Up)
  • Two layering label dies
  • Inks
    • Black StazOn ink
    • Darling Duckling ink (Stampin’ Up)
    • Daffodil Delight ink (Stampin’ Up)
    • Crushed Curry (Stampin’ Up
    • Wild Wasabi (Stampin’ Up)
  • Blending brushes (Stampin’ Up)
  • 2021-23 In Color Opal Rounds
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With the white cards stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 8 ½”, folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and two pieces to 3 ¾” x 5”.  From the Impressions Abloom designer series paper, find the Darling Duckling grid paper and cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

With a spare piece of white card stock and your Black StazOn ink, stamp the large three roses stamp twice.  Gather up your three yellow inks and Wild Wasabi ink, a blending brush and your masks.  With Mask #1 align over your stamped roses and use either washi tape or a Post-It note to hold in place.  Then use your Darling Duckling ink and rub your blending brush around on your ink pad and then swirl around on a spare piece of paper to get the ink lightened and then swirl across your mask to color in a portion of the roses.  Do the same process with mask #2 and the Daffodil Delight ink and then mask #3 and the Crushed Curry ink.  Now with mask #4 and the Wild Wasabi ink put a light layer on the leaves and with mask #5 I used Wild Wasabi ink again but as a second layer and a little darker to highlight the leaves.  Use the large die to cut the rose grouping out.  Follow the same process for the second set which you will be using the large rose and the small rose individually.  Use the large rose die to cut out that rose individually and then cut out the small rose with a pair of scissors. 

On a scrap piece of white cards stock find the “Happy Anniversary” stamp from the Layers of Beauty stamp set and stamp with your Black StazOn.  Use a smaller label die to cut out and then with a larger label die cut a piece of the Darling Ducking grid designer series paper and layer the labels. 

Take on of the Darling Duckling grid paper pieces you cut and adhere to the front of your white card base.  Then adhere one of the white cut pieces to the front of that.  Now with your full rose set that you colored and cut out, align where you would like it, I did cut off a few leaves to make it fit the way I wanted.  Take the large colored and cut out rose and align that to the upper right to fill in the rest.  Now adhere your layered label in the lower right corner.  Take a few of the yellow opal embellishments and sprinkle around to your liking. 

With the remaining piece of Darling Duckling grid paper and adhere to the inside of your card and then the piece of white card stock to that.  Adhere the small rose you cut out in the lower left corner and then find the “you make my heart smile” stamp and stamp to the upper center with your Black StazOn. 

There you are, you have an elegant anniversary card for someone you love or for a couple celebrating an anniversary.

Plaid Vintage Leaves Father’s Day Card

This is a great easy card that is a great guy card.  I made this card for my dad for Father’s Day, but it would also be a good card for anything. 

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

  • Cajan Craze card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Natural Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Timeless Plaid DSP designer series paper
  • Vintage Leaves dies (Retired Stampin Up)
  • The Wilderness Awaits (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Going Global (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Cajan Craze ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Baker’s Twine (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

With your Cajan Craze card stock cut a piece to 5 ½” x 8 ½”, folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Cut another piece to 3 ¾” x 5”.  Take the Cajan Craze colored plaid paper from the Timeless Plaid designer series paper pack, cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”, use the strip you cut off the bottom of that and cut a piece to ¾” x 3 ¾”.  With your Natural Beige card stock cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 5” for your card inside. 

From your Vintage Leaves dies, take the oak leaf die and cut a leave out of the remaining Timeless Plaid designer series paper and then take the 3 ¾” x 5” piece of Cajan Craze your cut and use the leaf die to cut out a leave to the left hand side. 

Adhere the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Timeless Plaid designer series paper and adhere it to the front of your card.  Then adhere your piece of Cajan Craze with the leaf cut out to the front of the plaid.  Use pop dots to adhere the plaid leaf to the right of the cut-out leaf.  Take a small scrap piece of Natural Beige card stock and the “You mean the world to me” stamp from the Going Global stamp set and stamp with the Cajan Craze.  I just cut the tag out by hand by making the top pointed and then just angled each bottom corner, but of course you could use a tag die to cut this out.  Tie a bow with the Baker’s Twine and adhere to the top of your tag. 

For the inside of the card I actually ended up using two different stamps to say what I wanted, the “admired, respected, loved…that’s you” from The Wilderness Awaits” stamp set and then a “Happy Father’s Day” which is a single wood block stamp that I am not sure where it is from.  Stamp these stamps in Cajan Craze and adhere the plaid strip to the bottom and adhere to the inside of your card. 

I think any guy would love to get this card.

Take a piece of Petal Pink card stock and cut it to 4 ¼” x 11”, scored at 5 ½” and folded in half.  Cut another piece to 3 ½” x 4 ¾”.  With your white card stock cut a piece for the inside of your card measuring 4” x 5 ¼”.  Find the green leafy piece of card stock that has the mini pink flowers and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

With the oval dotted die from the Impressions Abloom dies and the Petal Pink piece you cut to 3 ½” x 4 ¾” and cut the oval out of the center.

With your Crushed Curry card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 8 ½” and fold in half.  Find the sunflower paper from the Floral Impression designer series paper pack and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From the white card stock cut a piece to 3” x 3” and another to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

With your Impressions Abloom dies cut three of the large sunflower with the die and center impression die from some spare Crushed Curry card stock.  From a piece of Pecan Pie card stock cut four of the smaller size centers with the die and center impression die.  From a spare piece of white card stock cut a white medium flower with the die and center impression die.  Then take a spare piece of the sunflower paper and cut out three of the leaves, or takes a piece of Garden Green cards stock and the leaf die and center impression die and cut. 

Take the four flower centers your and the dark Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends pen and ink around the edges of each.  Take the light Darling Duckling Stampin’ Blends pen and your four flowers and color all of the impressions cuts as a highlight.  Glue the flower centers into the center of each flower. 

With the 3” x 3” piece of white card stock and the Crushed Curry ink stamp the “Thanks “ greeting and stamp that on a diagonal toward the upper corner.  Take the 4” x 5 ¼” piece and stamp the “I appreciate you” greeting with the Crushed Curry ink.

Adhere the 3” x 3” piece in the upper right corner of your card front.  Then adhere the three other corners of the sunflower designer series paper.  Then fold down the upper right corner that is over the white piece and adhere down.  Glue two of your sunflowers, one white flower and the three leaves onto the folded down flap. 

Adhere your “I appreciate you” piece to the inside of your card and adhere the last sunflower to the lower left corner. 

This gives you a bright, cheerful sunflower thank you card.
