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.

Wildflower Birthday 40th Card

May 28, 2025 No Comments

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
Pretty in Pink card stock
White card stock
Wildflower Birthday designer series paper and cut outs
Blueberry Bushel ink
Birthday stamp (random die I have had for a long time and not from a specific set)
Layered Number Dies (old school Sizzix dies)
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.

Inked Botanicals Sectional Birthday Card

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.

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

Watermelon Wonder card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Verry Vanilla card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Inked Botanicals designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
With you In Mind stamp set
Thoughtful Expressions stamp set
Watermelon Wonder ink (Stampin’ Up)
Very Vanilla twine (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Scissors
Adhesive of choice

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.

That is all there is to this Inked Botanicals sectional birthday card.

Daisy Birthday Card

April 9, 2025 2 Comments

Anyone who really knows me knows that white daisies are my favorite flower, hence why my website is www.daisychainfun.com as it had to have the word daisy and a daisy in my logo. I did struggle with this card being way too white though, so I finally decided to use some of the antiquing spray I have in many different colors and it was exactly what this card needed.

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

Lemon Lime Twist card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Lemon Lolly card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Heart and Home designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Daisy stamp (Reflections)
Basic Gray Black ink (Stampin’ Up)
Stampin’ Blends
- Lemon Lime Twist Light
- Lemon Lolly Dark
Willow Walnut Ink Antiquing Solution Spray (Tsukineko)
Yellow ribbon
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

This car is pretty straightforward, it is just a lot of layers. With some white card stock, cut a card base of 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut another piece of white to 2 ¾” x 4 5/8” and one to 5/8” x 2”. With the Lemon Lime Twist card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and a second piece to 3 1/8” x 4 7/8” and a third to 7/8” x 2 1/4”. Then cut a piece of Lemon Lolly to 4” x 5 ¼” and a second piece to 2 7/8” x 4 ¾” and a third to ¾” x 2 1/8”. Lastly, take one of the white wood designer series papers from the Heart and Home paper pack and cut a piece to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”.

Take the white piece you cut to 2 ¾” x 4 5/8”, your Basic Gray ink and your daisy stamp and stamp onto the center of the white card stock piece. Let dry for a few minutes since it isn’t StazOn ink. Color the leaves with the Lemon Lime Twist Light Stampin’ Blends and the flower centers with the Lemon Lolly Dark. Take your stamped piece and the white wood designer series paper and a piece of cardstock or cardboard you can spray on, and with your Willow Antiquing Spray and spray both pieces, then let dry for a few minutes. On the small white piece you cut stamp the “Happy Birthday” greeting from the Special Someone stamp set in your Basic Grey ink.

Now let’s get it all put together. Take the three large pieces and start with adhering the wood designer series paper piece to the yellow and then to the green and finally to your card front. Then with the middle size pieces wrap your daisy stamped piece with yellow ribbon and tie into a knot toward the left side. Now adhere your stamped daisy piece to the yellow and then to the green and now to the center of your card front. Layer up your small pieces with your Happy Birthday and adhere that over the ribbon.

For the inside take the “a very special day…” and the “for a very special someone” greeting stamps from the Special Someone stamp set and stamp in the Basic Gray ink, and then the flower stamp in the lower left corner.

There is a birthday card for anybody who loves daisies or flowers in general.
