Velvet Meadow Standing Arches Card

This Velvet Meadow flocked designer series paper is so pretty and I really wanted to the use the pink paper on the back so this Standing Arches pop-up card was the perfect design to showcase it.  The accenting with the Velveteen Assortment pink flocked paper and the Flowering Meadow stamps and dies were the perfect combination. 

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

  • Berry Burst card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Bubble Bath flocked card stock from Velveteen Assortment (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Velvet Meadow designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Flowering Meadow stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Arches dies (Stampin’ Up or Senhai)
  • Berry Burst ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From a piece of Berry Burst card stock cut out an arch measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” for the back, one to 2 ¾” x 4” for the middle and 1 ¾” x 3” for the front.  Then cut a piece to 1 5/8” x 2 ¼” and another to 2 ¼” x 2 ¾”, score each along the 2 ¼” edge at ½”, 1”, 1 ½” and 2”.  Fold each section in for both and adhere the ¼” section to the first section to form a box.  From white card stock use the 2 ½” x 3 ¾” arch die to cut your back panel and the ½” x 1 7/8” to create your label. 

With the Velvet Meadow designer series paper, find the Bubble Bath piece with the white flocking leaves and then the Bubble Bath flowers piece.  From the Bubble Bath piece with the white flocking leaves cut out with the 3 7/8” x 5 1/8” arch die.  Use the 2 ½” x 3 ¾” arch die to cut out the floral paper.  Then take a piece of the Flocked Bubble Bath paper from Velveteen Assortment and cut with the 1 ½” x 2 ¾” arch die. 

From a scrap piece of the Bubble Bath with white flocking leaves use the two sprig dies from Flowering Meadow to cut out one of each of the two.  From the floral paper use the double flower die to cut out one of the flowers and then hand cut out two leaves from the same paper.  Use the small flower dies to cut out three small flowers from a scrap piece of Berry Burst. 

Take the largest Berry Burst arch and adhere the white arch to the back and the Bubble Bath with the white flocked leaves to the front.  Take the middle side Berry Burst arch and adhere the floral arch piece to it.  Take the small Berry Burst arch and adhere the pink flocked piece to it.  Now adhere the small square piece to the back of the small arch and the other square piece to the back of the middle piece.  Now adhere the back of the middle size square piece to the front of your large arch and then the small square piece to the front of the middle arch.

Now adhere your two sprigs that you cut out to the front left bottom corner of your smallest arch and your three Berry Burst flowers over them to your liking.  Take the small white arch label you cut and with your Berry Burst ink stamp the “just because” and adhere the label angling down with the flat end going under your tallest sprig.

For the back panel adhere your double flowers you cut out in the lower left corner and the two leaves where you like slightly under the flowers.  Use the Berry Burst ink and stamp the “you always make me smile” greeting in the upper center. 

Such a pretty card to let a tell someone you are thinking about them and they make you smile.
