Fine Art Floral Golden Garden Thank You Card

No Comments

This elegant and easy to make card is a great thank you card for anyone to show your gratitude.  It is made with the Fine Art Floral and Golden Garden designer series papers from Stampin’ Up. 

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

  • Calypso Coral card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Fine Art Floral designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Golden Garden transparent designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Art Gallery stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Stitched Rectangle dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Calypso Coral ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Foam Adhesive Strips or pop dots

With the Calypso Coral cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  With the white card stock take the 3 ¾” x 5 ¼” die and the 3 3/8” x 4 ¾” and align both and cut a rectangle frame.  Use the larger die to cut another piece of white for the inside. 

With the Fine Art Floral designer series paper find the piece with the light blue brush stroked background that multi-colored flowers.  Then from the Golden Garden transparency sheets find the one that matches.  Align the papers so the gold is in place over the appropriate area and cut them together to 3 ¾” x 5 ¼” and then cut another section to 1 1/2” x 5”. 

With the large piece of floral designer series paper and the Calypso Coral ink, stamp the “thank you” greeting from the Art Gallery stamp set.  Adhere the frame to the front of the Golden Garden piece.  Use Foam Adhesive strips or cut pop dots in half and align to the outside and adhere to the piece of the floral designer series paper (be careful in your placement as you can’t easily get them back off as the film will peel off, you can guess how I know).  Now adhere this to the front of the Calypso Coral card base.

For the inside of your card, take your white piece of card stock and adhere the floral paper to the inside of the stitches to the left side and then adhere the Golden Garden on top.  With the Calypso Coral ink and the “Thank you for making a difference in my life” greeting from the On the Dock stamp set and stamp to the right upper portion.  Adhere to the inside of your card.

No you just need to figure out who has made a difference in your life and send them a card to thank them.

Fine Art Floral Lovely Card

No Comments

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

No Comments

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.
