Beautiful Gallery Double Vision Celebrate Card

What a great masculine card with the double vision card design.  It is made with the Beautiful Gallery designer series paper and the Beautiful Motifs stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up.  My friend and upline did this on a Facebook Live going vertical instead of this horizontal at her My Stampin’ Style page. 

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

  • Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Beautiful Gallery designer series paper (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Beautiful Motifs stamp set and dies (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • “Happy Birthday to You” stamp (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

I have designed this to the pieces are all the same size, most of them are two different sizes depending on if up or down piece.  For your card base cut a piece of Mossy Meadow  to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  From the Beautiful Gallery find three pieces of the cottage paper, or one piece and you can use Basic Beige for the other two pieces.  Cut two pieces of the back of the cottage paper to 4” x 5 ¼” and one for a label to ½” x 2”.  Cut the cottage piece out to 3 ¾” x 5”, getting the part you want for your card front.  Then cut that into five 1” strips, or you can do ten ½” strips if you prefer to make them smaller.

Take one of the tan pieces and adhere to the front of your card base.  Use pop dots to adhere your first strip to the front of that leaving about 1/8” to the left, adhere the next one directly to the paper and keep going with every other so you have three up on pop dots (if you choose to use the ½” strips your starter will end up popped up and the last one down, if you do the 5 then both ends will be popped up).  With some Mossy Meadow ink and the “celebrate” greeting stamp on your label strip you cut out.  Adhere that to the lower left corner adhering to two of the raised pieces, so watch where you put your adhesive as it won’t need it in the middle. 

For the inside take your other tan piece and use the leaf die from your Beautiful Motif dies to cut in the lower left corner, which cuts a leaf pattern, but doesn’t cut the whole thing.  Adhere to the inside back of your card base.  Use the Mossy Meadow ink to stamp the “Happy birthday to you!” greeting (an old Stampin’ Up stamp but I don’t know the set name).

What a great masculine birthday card in the double vision design.

Let’s Celebrate Birthday Card

I love this Everyday Happiness paper from Stampin’ Up but I have a hard time designing some cards with it, but I thought this one turned out cute.  It was influenced by the Happy Day banner dies that I got in the 2025 Spellbinders Advent. 

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

  • White card stock
  • Everyday Happiness designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Simply Sketched stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Sentimental Park stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Label layered dies – not sure from what set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Banners Spellbinder S1-168 W9 (2025 Advent Calendar Spellbinder)
  • Lost Lagoon ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Bakers Twine Essentials Pack (Stampin’ Up)
  • Opaque Faceted Gems (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With a piece of white card stock cut a card base to 5 1/2” x 11” an then angle the top from the 5 ½” to 3 3/8”.  Then score at 4 ¼” and 7 5/8” starting from the high end as you want the high back panel to be full size and the other two panels will be skinnier.  Folding from the higher back panel with the high side on the right, fold the middle panel up and the front panel back to form a z-fold.

Get your Everyday Happiness designer series paper pack and find the floral paper, the gold with the stars, the blue to gold variegated and the blue checked papers.  Use the blue checked paper for the back panel, cutting to 4” x 5 ¼” and angling to the left to 4 3/8”.  Use the blue gradient paper for the inside middle panel, cutting to 3 1/8” x 4 ¼” and angle to the left to 3 ½”.  For the front back panel use the gold star paper and cut to 3 1/8” x 4 ¼” and angle to the right to 3 ½”.  Then for the front panel use the floral paper cut to 3 1/8” x 3 ½” and angle to 2 7/8”.  Finally cut a panel from white card stock to 3 1/8” x 4 ¼” and angle to the right to 3 ½”. 

Adhere each to their perspective panels and then adhere to white piece to the back panel onto the blue checked paper so it is hiding under the other panels when folded, same as the inside middle panel but going the opposite direction.  Cut out two of the flowers from a scrap piece of the floral paper and two of the grey leaves and adhere those to the bottom left of the white inside panel.  Use the “Happy Birthday Wishes” greeting stamp from the Simply Sketched stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink and stamp to the upper portion of that inside white panel. 

Take some of the gold star paper and your Happy Day Banner Dies and cut out the Happy Day banner and then from white card stock cut out the two solid banner dies.  Adhere the white banners to the back of the Happy Day banners.  Cut your Happy Day banner into to and adhere across your inside middle panel with happy going across the top and day coming from the left meeting up with the bottom of the “a” banner. 

For the front panel stamp the “let’s celebrate” greeting from Sentimental Park in Lost Lagoon ink onto white card stock and then use a layered label die (not sure what set these are from) and the bottom layer can be cut from the gold star paper.  Adhere your labels together and adhere to the front of your card overhanging across some of your showing blue checked paper.  Add a few embellishment gems for decoration and a bow tied from the Bakers Twine Essentials pack in the grey color to match the leaves in the floral paper. 

What a great birthday card for anyone you know

Floral Delight Happy Birthday Card

I saw a card like this and hadn’t saw this style in a while so thought I would make one.  I used the Floral Delight designer series paper and Delightful Wishes stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up to make this one. 

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

  • Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Pecan Pie card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Daffodil Delight (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Floral Delight designer series paper (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Delightful Wishes stamp set and dies (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Lemon Lolly ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

To start your card base, cut a piece of Old Olive to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  From white card stock cut a piece to 5 ¼” x 6” and fold in half to 3” x 5 ¼” and another piece to 1” x 5 ¼”.  Take your Floral Delight designer series paper find the yellow gingham paper and cut a piece to 2 7/8” x 5 1/8” and the yellow floral with the branches to 7/8” x 5 1/8”.

Take the white folded piece and adhere to the left side of the Old Olive card base, opening from the right.  Adhere the yellow gingham piece to the front of it.  Adhere your 1” white piece to the right side of your Old Olive card base and adhere the floral strip to it. 

From a scrap piece of old olive use the larger wishing die to cut out.  From Daffodil Delight cut out the smaller wishing, adhere them together.  Tip, use adhesive sheets to back your Daffodil Delight card stock piece before you cut it out, but not your Old Olive piece as some of that won’t have adhesive because it hangs over the edge.  From a scrap piece of white card stock stamp the multi-flower stamp base in Lemon Lolly and then the top layer in Daffodil Delight and cut out with the die.  Use Pecan Pie card stock and the stick die to cut out.  Stamp two of the double leaves, cut out with the dies and then cut them into individuals so you have four leaves.  Adhere your leaves and flower pieces randomly to your stem and then adhere your stem to the front left side of your card front toward the top.  Then on a scrap piece of white stamp the “you a happy birthday” in Old Olive ink and use the long slim die to cut it out.  Adhere that at the bottom of your card centered on the full card, so hanging over the edge of the card opening slightly and then adhere your “wishing” above that, again with part of your “g” hanging over. 

For the inside is used an old block stamp greeting saying ”I can’t think of a nicer person to celebrate!” in Old Olive ink, I don’t know what stamp set it was from. 

What a bright and cheery birthday card for someone you care about.
