Framed Florets Bi-Fold Card

No Comments

This bi-fold card made with Fitting Florets designer series paper from Stampin’ Up turned out really cute.  I actually had two pre-cut and scored stepper card cut but didn’t want to make two so I used it to make this bi-fold card.  It used the Framed Florets stamps and dies as well. 

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

  • Night of Navy card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Balmy Blue card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Fitting Florets designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Framed Florets stamp set and dies (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Pre-cut label (unknown Stampin’ Up)
  • Night of Navy ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From a piece of Night of Navy card stock, cut a card base to 5 ½ x 6 ½ and fold in half to 3 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Cut another piece to 3” x 6 ½” and fold in half to 3” x 3 ¼”.  From the Balmy Blue card stock cut a piece to 2 7/8” x 3 1/8” and another to 3 1/8” x 5 1/8”.  With a piece of white card stock cut a piece for the inside to 2 7/8” x 3 1/8”. 

Grab your Fitting Florets designer series paper pack and find the piece of Night of Navy with the Balmy Blue sprigs and pink berries.  Cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 3” and two pieces to 3” x 5 ¼” (there is a bit of a direction to this paper so you may want to pay attention).  Also find the piece that has the large floral groups on it and find the pink set and cut out with the die. 

Take the card base measuring 3 ¼” x 5 ½” and adhere one of the larger pieces of Balmy Blue to the front and then one of the larger pieces of the designer series paper.  Do the same for the inside back.  Then take your Night of Navy piece that you folded to 3” x 3 ¼” and adhere the Balmy Blue to the front and then the designer series paper piece, and adhere the white piece to the back of the inside. 

Take your small folded piece and put glue on 2” of the back and adhere to the inside of your larger piece in the center leaving 1” hanging off and 1” from the inside edge, making your card measure 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. 

Now take the pre-cut label (or any other label that works) and stamp the “Celebrate!” greeting angled on your label in Night of Navy ink and adhere with pop dots toward the upper left corner of your small front section.  Adhere the flower you die cut with po dots to the lower right corner, over the lower part of your label.  Add a few of the Strawberry Slush and Pretty In Pink Gems to decorate. 

For the inside stamp the “Wishes for a beautiful birthday” greeting in Night of Navy ink. 

There is an adorable birthday card for anyone in your life.

Peaceful Garden Birds on a Branch Card

This dainty floral-patterned paper from the Peaceful Garden designer series paper from Stampin’ up seemed like the perfect paper for this birds on a branch die.  I think it turned out adorable, loving it.    

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

  • Secret Sea card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Wisteria Wonder card stock (retired Stampin’ UP)

  • Birds on a Branch die (unknown)
  • Impressions Abloom dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Birthday stamps (unknown)
  • Wisteria Wonder ink (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

Take a piece of Secret Sea card stock and cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half.  Cut another piece to 1” x 3”.  The dainty floral piece of designer series paper seemed more purple than Misty Moonlight and Cloud Cover so I used Wisteria Wonder, but you could use Cloud Cover as well.  From the Wisteria Wonder card stock cut two pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and another to 7/8” x 2 7/8”.  From the white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and another to ¾” x 2 ¾”.  Then from the Peaceful Garden designer series paper pack find the dainty floral piece and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

With one piece of the Wisteria Wonder adhere it to the front of your Secret Sea card stock and then adhere the dainty floral piece to that.  With a spare piece of Secret Sea cut two of the birds on a branch die, and then again with a spare piece of Wisteria Wonder.  Cut the birds off the one of the Wisteria Wonder pieces and adhere over one of the Secret Sea birds.  With the second piece of Secret Sea birds on a branch you cut, cut off the left end leaving 3 leaves to the front of the bird and then cut that bird off the second Wisteria Wonder birds and adhere to this branch.  Then with a spare piece of white card stock and the two small flowers dies from the Impressions Abloom dies and cut six white flowers.  Adhere five of the white flowers to the full birds on a branch set and the sixth flower on the small one. 

Adhere to full birds on a branch that you created to the front of your card.  Then with the ¾” x 2 ¾” white piece and a “Birthday Wishes” greeting stamp and Wisteria Wonder ink, stamp the greeting.  Adhere the white piece to the Wisteria Wonder piece and then to the Secret Sea piece and adhere to the lower right corner of your card.

For the inside of your card, stamp the “I can’t think of a nicer person to celebrate!” stamp with Wisteria Wonder ink toward the top center.  Adhere your smaller bird on a branch piece to the lower left corner.  Adhere this to the Wisteria Wonder and then to the inside of your card. 

You now have the birds on a branch card made with Peaceful Garden.

Beautiful Gallery Marina Accordion Fold Card

No Comments

This is a great masculine card for any male in your life and is so lovely.  It is fairly quick and easy since the paper does the work, just takes a little time cutting the paper to line up. 

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

  • Secret Sea card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Beautiful Garden designer series paper (2025 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Label die
  • Happiest of Birthdays stamp set (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Secret Sea ink (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or scoring blade for trimmer
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

Take your Secret Sea card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 11” and score at 3 ¼”, 5 1/8”, 8” and 9 ½”.  From the 3 ¼” first score, fold the next section in and then accordion fold from there with the last piece forming your card front. 

From the Beautiful Gallery designer series paper find the piece of brown paint and then two of the marina painting.  From the brown paint piece cut a piece to 1 3/8” x 5 3/8” and a second to 1 ¾” x 5 3/8”.  Adhere the 1 3/8” wide piece to the second panel and the 1 ¾” piece to the 4th panel. 

Cutting the marina papers is where it takes a bit of paying attention to get it to all line up to form the same picture when the card is closed.  Trim both pieces of the Marina paper together to 5 3/8” in height so that the picture is the same exact height for both.  Start by cutting the piece for the back, I cut a bit off the right side so it had the single boat starting at the right which then when folded will have all the boats showing, cut to 3 1/8” x 5 3/8”.  Adhere to the back portion of your card.  Fold in the middle and take the second piece of marina paper and see where the boats align to the right and trim to there.  Then cut in from the right to 2 ¾” x 5 3/8”.  Now fold in the front panel and take the leftover piece from the first piece of marina paper and again figure out where the boats need to align and trim the right and then cut to 1 3/8” 5 3/8”.  Andere to the front which gives you your picture when folded and a nice scenic view when open. 

From the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set find the “it’s your day enjoy it!” greeting and stamp onto some Basic Beige in Secret Sea ink.  Take your label die and cut out your greeting.  Adhere only a bit of the label to the front panel making your label centered when your card is closed. 

Cut a piece of Basic Beige to 3” x 5 ¼” for the back of your card.  Take the “wishing you the happiest of birthdays” greeting stamp and your Secret Sea ink and stamp in the upper center.  Adhere your piece of Basic Beige to the back of the back panel of your card. 

There is a great guy birthday card for when you need it.

Take a spare piece of Basic Beige and the Jet Black Momento ink and stamp the fox from The Wilderness Awaits stamp set.  Use your Cajan Craze Light Blender Pen to color the fox leaving a bit uncolored around the eyes and nose.  With the Wild Wheat Light Blender Pen color the grass.  Then use your medium size die to cut out the fox.  Take a small whole punch and cut two holes on each side about ½” apart.  Cut two pieces of the twine and string through the wholes on each side.  Adhere the plaid paper to the center of the Cajan Craze piece.  Add pop dots to the back of the fox piece and adhere toward the top and centered and wrap the twine around the edges.  Then adhere to the front top portion of your Basic Beige card base.

Tulip Birthday Card

No Comments

I went old school with this one, this is the first stamp set I ever bought from Stampin’ Up almost 20 years ago.  I decided to get it out and make a card today.  Unfortunately, it is so old that it doesn’t have a label anymore so I don’t know the name of the set, but it is beautiful just the same. 

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

  • Strawberry Slush card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Melon Mambo card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Tulip stamps (Retired Stampin’ Up set but I don’t know the name)
  • Happy Birthday and Inside birthday greeting stamps (Retired Stampin’ Up but also don’t know from what set)
  • Strawberry Slush and Pretty and Pink Gems (Stampin’ Up)
  • Strawberry Slush ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Old Olive ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder or an old-style corrugator
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With your Strawberry Slush card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  From your Melon Mambo or another piece of Strawberry Slush, cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 4 ½”.  From your white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 6”, one to 3 ½” x 4 ¼” and a third piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Take the 4” x 6” piece and corrugate with either an embossing folder and a corrugator and then cut to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

Gather your 3 ½” x 4 ¼” piece of white card stock, your tulip stamp set and your Strawberry Slush and Old Olive inks.  Start with the outside outline tulip stamp and stamp that in Strawberry Slush three times, arranging at different levels to the left side of the card stock.  Then with the fuller tulip stamp, stamp off (stamp once on scrap paper) and then stamp to the inside of the first stamp to form your tulips.  Then with your Old Olive ink stamp three stems and leaves as you like.  Then stamp your “happy birthday” greeting to the lower right. 

Adhere your white corrugated piece to the front of your card base.  Then center the Melon Mambo (or Strawberry Slush) piece and then your stamped piece on top of the Melon Mambo.  Then take your Strawberry Slush larger size embellishments and adhere three in a row in the upper right corner of your stamped piece. 

For your inside piece, stamp another tulip in the lower right corner and your birthday greeting of choice in the upper center.  Adhere to the inside of your card. 

There is my old school tulip birthday card.
