Sweeter With You Strawberry Hello Card

No Comments

I am loving this July 2025 Sweeter With You Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin’ Up.  This kit is all based around strawberries for the season and has a bunch of adorable punch-outs to build cards with included instructions or to make up your own.  I am really having fun making cards and tags with it.

  • July 2025 Sweeter With You Paper Pumpkin Kit (Stampin’ Up)
  • Poppy Parade or Sweet Sorbet card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Poppy Parade or Sweet Sorbet ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring Board or blade for trimmer
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice (Some included in kit)
  • Pop dots (Included in kit)

With your Poppy Parade (or Sweet Sorbet) card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼” and 6 3/8” and fold into a Z.  From the kit find the pink card stock with the red dots and cut two pieces to 2” x 5 3/8” each.  Adhere one to the small front of your Z.  Adhere the other to the right side of the back of your card lining them up. 

From the cut-outs in the Sweeter With You kit, find one of the rectangle scallop pieces, one of the pre-cut shapes to stamp “Hello, Friend” greeting, three of the white blossoms, one of the small strawberries and one of the stems with strawberries.  Adhere the left half of the stem with strawberries to the front of your card, leaving the right half hanging off over the back pink with dots paper.  Add the three flowers around on the stem piece for decoration. 

Take the “Hello, Friend” greeting stamp from the Sweeter With You stamp set and your Poppy Parade or Sweet Sorbet ink and stamp on the cut-out shape for it.  Acdhere the left side Hello portion with pop dots below the stem with strawberries on the front of your card. 

Take your scallop cut-out and your “Life is Sweeter with you” greeting stamp from the same Sweeter With You stamp set and stamp in the Poppy Parade or Sweet Sorbet ink.  Adhere the small strawberry to the lower left of it and adhere under the front with the right scallop showing through the stem to see when folded. 

What a lovely way to tell a friend you care.

Bouquet of Roses Charming Day Card

No Comments

This card is made with the rose die from the Stampin’ Up Charming Day stamps and dies.  This lovely rose die in the Charming Day suite makes such pretty roses and were perfect for my card.  I saw a similar card on Facebook and thought it was such a great idea though I can’t find what site I found it on, and this die was perfect for what I wanted.

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

  • Darling Duckling card stock (2025-2027 In Colors from Stampin’ Up)
  • Strawberry Slush (2025-2027 In Colors from Stampin’ Up)
  • Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Subtle 3D embossing folder (Stampin’ Up)
  • Charming Day stamps and dies (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Fancy Border Dies (2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Strawberry Slush ink (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
  • White Crinkle Ribbon (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop Dots

With white card stock cut your card base to 5 1/2” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Then cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and two pieces to 3 ¾” x 5”.  Then with your Darling Ducking card stock cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

With the Subtle 3D embossing folder emboss the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” white card stock and one of the 3 ¾” x 5”.  Now with the 3 ¾” x 5” embossed white piece and one of your Darling Duckling pieces and align the white over the Darling Duckling with the right upper corner hanging over the right upper about 1/8” on each side then use the simple Fancy Border Die along each corner and cut to cut the corner to make a spot to hold your flowers like they are wrapped in paper.  Then adhere the white piece to the Darling Duckling. 

Now cut three roses from the rose die in the Charming Day dies from the Strawberry Slush card stock, and another three from Old Olive card stock.  Then also cut one of the leaves with the die from Old Olive.  The cut the rose tops off the Strawberry Slush roses you cut and adhere to the Old Olive roses you cut so you have the green for stems and leave and the pink rose.  Align your roses through the slot you cut and adhere to the back and then adhere the whole thing to the larger white embossed piece.  Then adhere your leaves die cut piece to the back of your three roses just to add a bit of filler. 

Cut a Darling Duckling tag and a smaller white tag and adhere together.  Stamp the “you made my day” greeting on the white label with Strawberry Slush ink.  Adhere to the front of your card.  Take a piece of White Crinkle Ribbon and tie a bow and adhere to the base of the roses.

Now for the inside of your card take the white piece and adhere to the Darling Duckling piece.  Take the “Thanks for being you” greeting and stamp on the upper portion of your white card stock.  Adhere to the inside of your card.

This gives you a lovely bouquet card to make someone’s day.

Floral Charm Twist Card

No Comments

This is my take on a twist card as I changed it to my own version as the regular twist cards I’ve seen don’t make a normal size card, so this version does and it turned out pretty cool.  It was the perfect design for this paper from the Floral Charm designer series paper from Stampin’ Up. 

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

  • Timid Tiger card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Floral Charm designer series paper (2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Charming Day stamp set
  • Birthday greeting for card inside
  • Layered label dies
  • Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop Dots

With your Timid Tiger card stock cut a card base to 4 ¾” x 5 ½” and score at ¼” and 4 ½” and fold both scores up.  Then cut two pieces to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and score at a diagonal and fold and then trim off the overhanging area on the long edge.  Now adhere each to the ¼” scored edges of your card base making sure they align in the middle. 

From the Mossy Meadow card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and then cut diagonally in the direction to match your card.  Adhere under the front flap so shows in the lower left corner and the upper right corner. 

Find the Floral Charm designer series paper and grab the piece with the orange and pink flowers and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and cut in half to match your diagonal on your card.  You will need to trim to match your angles, then adhere.  Cut another piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and cut on the diagonal for the inside of the card.  Cut on a diagonal and adhere to the inside angles of your card.

With your white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” for the inside of your card.  Choose a layered label die with two dies and cut the smaller layer out of the white card stock and the larger layer out of a scrap piece of Timid Tiger. 

Grab your Charming Day stamp set and find the “Happy Birthday” greeting and with your Mossy Meadow ink stamp on your white label.  Adhere your white label to the Timid Tiger label with pop dots.  Adhere your label to the front center of the card, only applying adhesive to the half that will adhere to the left side of the card. 

With the white piece of card stock for the inside of your card and the Mossy Meadow ink stamp a birthday greeting, mine was “May this birthday bring life’s true gifts – good health, friendships, and love” from an old Stampin’ Up set. 

There, you now have my take on a twisted card, it looks more complicated than it is when you have instructions.  Was a bit harder when I was just trying to figure it out on my own.

Painterly Pears Angled Gate Fold Card

No Comments

This angled gate fold card evolved into a different card than it started as, but I am now happy with it.  This Painterly Pair suite is quickly becoming one of my favorites from Stampin’ Up as I just love the colors, they fall right in my wheelhouse, and the papers are so pretty.   

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

  • Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Painterly Pears designer series paper (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Perfectly Pears stamps and dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Free as a Bird stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Ink
    • Darling Duckling ink (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
    • Old Olve ink (Stampin’ Up)
    • Black Momento ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Blender Pens (Stampin’ Up)
    • Petal Pink (dark)
    • Old Olive (light and dark)
    • Mossy Meadow (light)
    • Pecan Pie (Dark)
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

With so me Petal Pink card stock cut the back card base to 5” x 5 ½” and score at 3/8” and 4 5/8” and fold both side up and in.  Cut two pieces to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and score both at 2 1/8”.  Mark down 2” and cut your angle and do the opposite direction with the other piece.  From the white card stock cut two pieces to 1 7/8” x 5 ¼” and angle to match the inside angles. 

Take your Painterly Pear designer series paper and find the white sheet with the pears and pink flowers, cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” for the back of your card.  Find the Petal Pink piece with the small designs and cut two pieces to 1 7/8” x 5 ¼” and angle to match the front back panels.  Now get the Petal Pink piece with pears and flowers and cut that to 1 7/8” x 4 ¼” and angle to match the front two panels. 

With a scrap piece of white card stock and your black Momento ink, find the small pear outline stamp and stamp on your card stock.  Then with Darling Duckling ink stamp the inside stamp to color your pears and give them some dimension.  With your Pecan Pie Dark Blender Pen color the tree branch.  For the leaves I colored them with the Old Olive Dark Blender Pen and then outlined the lower halves of them with the Mossy Meadow Dark Blender Pen.  For the pears I blended colors from the outside lower edge in with Mossy Meadow Light, Old Olive Light and then Petal Pink Dark Blender Pens leaving the edges jagged instead of solid for more dimension. 

Take a scrap piece of Petal Pink and die cut out a label that is about 1” x 2”.  Adhere the pears to the left side.  Take a label from the Perfect Pears dies and cut, then stamp the “A Good Friend is a gift” in Old Olive ink.  Adhere that with pop dots to the right side of the label, overlapping the pears slightly. 

Now start building your card by taking the Petal Pink card base and each of the Petal Pink angled pieces and adhere one of the angled pieces to each side on the two tabs.  Cut the tabs where they hang out over the angle.  Fold each side out at the score to form your angled gate fold.  Now adhere your tag to the left front panel of your card with the other half hanging over the other panel (but not adhered to the panel). 

Now open the card and adhere each of the white pieces to each side of the white pear paper.  With the Free as a Bird stamp set and Old Olive ink, stamp the “your friendship means the world to me” greeting on the left white panel, and the “thanks for being you” greeting no the right white panel. 

This card started with a belly-band wrapped in the Mossy Meadow and Gold Trim ribbon and a label on it layered with more stuff and it was just too much on the card so I changed it over to the label.  You could still do a belly-band but I would keep it fairly plain if you do.  I am now in love with this card and I always love gate fold cards.
