Book Binding Textured Chic Painted Posies Card

June 7, 2025 No Comments

I like the style of the book binding fold cards and the Textured Chic designer series paper from Stampin’ Up is one of my favorite packs of paper. The Painted Posies embossing folder is really pretty as well, so I used some of the white core card stock and then sanded it down a bit so that the embossed outline is white on the petal pink paper and then just colored in the flowers.

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

Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Petal Pink white core card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Textured Chic designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder (Stampin’ Up)
Magnolia Mood stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
Petal Pink ink (Stampin’ Up)
Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends – Dark (Stampin’ Up)
Gold Ribbon – Shimmer Ribbon (Stampin’ Up)
Brushed Brass Butterflies embellishments (Stampin’ Up)
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

With a piece of Petal Pink card stock, cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 4 ¼” and 5 ½”. From the Petal Pink white core card stock cut two pieces to 3 ¾” x 3 ¾”. From the Texture Chic designer series paper pack, find the piece that is pink and orange with the diagonal design, cut two pieces to 4” x 4” and a third to 1” x 4”.

Take one of your 3 ¾” x 3 ¾” Petal Pink white core pieces and emboss with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder. With your Petal Pink Dark Stampin’ Blends market color in the flowers. Use a sanding block (nail sanding blocks work well) and sand over the top to show the white core of the embossed design. Add three of the brass butterflies around the embossed design.

Use adhesive, I would probably recommend glue, to adhere the 1 ¼” binding to the back of the card. Cut two pieces of ribbon and cross in the middle and adhere to each end of the 1” x 4” designer series paper piece. Adhere that to the front of the book binding part of the card. Adhere the embossed piece to one of the 4” x 4” designer series paper pieces and then adhere that to the front of your card.

Use the “Happy Birthday” stamp from the Magnolia Mood stamp set and stamp on the other piece of Petal Pink white core card stock. Adhere that to the other piece of designer series paper and adhere that to the inside of your card.

That gives you this pretty book binding birthday card.

I made this pretty card for a friend of mine who was turning 40. It uses the Wildflower Birthday designer series paper and cut outs and while there are a lot of layers it is just some cutting and assembly so it is really easy to make.

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

Blueberry Bushel Card Stock

Blueberry Bushel ink
Birthday stamp (random die I have had for a long time and not from a specific set)

Tag Die
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

For your card base take a piece of Blueberry Bushel paper and cut to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut another piece to 2 ¾” x 4”. With your Pretty in Pink card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one to 4” x 5 ¼” for the inside and then one to 2 5/8” x 3 7/8”. Now grab your Wildflower Birthday paper pack and find the floral piece with the light blue background and also the angled stripe piece. Cut the light blue floral piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and the stripes piece to 2 ½” x 3 ¾”.

Take the large piece of Pretty in Pink and adhere the light blue floral piece to it and adhere that to the front of your card. Then build the second layer by adhering the striped piece to the Pretty in Pink and that to the Blueberry Bushel and then adhere that to the center of the front of your card. Take some spare pieces of Blueberry Bushel and Pretty in Pink card stock and cut your “40”. From the Wildflower Birthday pack find the cut outs page and take the large pink tiered cake and one of the medium pink flowers. Put pop dots on the back of the cake and adhere to the center of the striped paper. Put pop dots on the back of your layered “40” and adhere those in the lower left corner and then pop dot the flower and adhere to the lower right side.

For the inside of the card adhere your white card stock piece to the Pretty in Pink piece and adhere to the inside of your card. Find the two large floral corner cut outs from the Wildflower Birthday pack and adhere in the upper left and lower right corners. With a scrap piece of Pretty in Pink card stock and your Blueberry Bushel ink, stamp your “Birthday Wishes” and cut out with a label die and layer some Blueberry Bushel behind that. Adhere with your flowers in the upper left corner.

This is just an adorable birthday card and really easy to make, just takes a little time to cut the layers but otherwise it is just building it up with the cut outs that are all ready to go.

May 25, 2025 No Comments

This card started out being completely different that where it ended up, I had seen a reverse step card and was trying to make it but didn’t like the way it laid so I took it back apart and used everything but the card base. So now we have what I am calling this card the Inked Botanicals Sectional Card. This paper is just so beautiful, I actually didn’t even know I had it but found it in a stack I hadn’t touched in a while so had to use it.

Cut a card base from the Watermelon Wonder card stock to 4 ¼” x 11”, folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. With your Very Vanilla card stock cut an inside piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and another piece to 1” x 4” and another to 1 ½” x 3 ¼”. Take you Inked Botanicals paper and find the dainty floral multicolor piece and the multicolor flowers with stems. With the dainty floral piece cut a two piece to 1 ¾” x 4”. With the flowers with stems piece cut a piece to 2 5/8” x 4”.

With your With You In Mind stamp set and your Watermelon Wonder ink stamp the “Happy Birthday” greeting onto the 1 ½” x 3 ¼” Very Vanilla piece. From the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set use the “enjoy your day” greeting and stamp onto the 1” x 4” piece lightly to the right. Take a spare piece of the large floral paper and hand cut out two of the flowers. Adhere one to the left side of the “enjoy your day” greeting.

Now take your card base and adhere the “enjoy your day piece to the bottom. Then adhere the dainty floral paper to the top of the card, and then the “Happy Birthday” piece to the center of the dainty floral paper. Now take your larger floral paper and adhere in the middle of the others. Take your vanilla twine and wrap around your card twice and tie into a bow. Align this toward the top of your large floral paper.

For the inside, adhere your Very Vanilla piece to the inside of your card. Then adhere the dainty floral piece toward the bottom, leaving a little bit of the Very Vanilla at the bottom. Take the other flower you cut out and adhere that to the left with most of the stem on the dainty floral paper but the flower on your Very Vanilla.

Simply Elegant Black and Copper Anniversary Card

May 20, 2025 No Comments

This beautiful paper has been waiting to get used and this seemed like the perfect design to use it on. It is really easy but also elegant.

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

Basic Black card stock
Copper Metallic card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Light gray card stock
Simply Elegant designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Memorable Blooms stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
Happy Anniversary stamp
Jet Black StazOn ink or Basic Black ink (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

For your card base take your Basic Black card stock and cut a piece to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 8 ½”. With the Copper Metallic card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the Simply Elegant designer series paper find the floral black and copper piece and cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 4 ½” and cut it on the diagonal from the left corner to the lower right corner. Cut another piece to 1 ½” x 4”. With the light gray card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.

Take your Basic Black card base and adhere the copper piece to the front panel Align your diagonal pieces and adhere in each corner. Adhere the light gray piece to the inside and the copper floral strip to the bottom.

With your Memorable Blooms stamp set find the greeting that says “You mean the world to me” and stamp that with the black in centered in the angle on the front of your card. NOTE: If you have Jet Black StazOn in I would suggest that as it will dry faster, the Basic Black was slow to dry on the copper. The other suggestion is to be careful when stamping on the copper as it is slippery and your stamp could slide.

With your black ink stamp Happy Anniversary on the upper portion of the light gray card stock on the inside of your card.

This is a nice anniversary card for anyone, as with the colors could be masculine enough even though it is floral.
