Wild Bunch Hi Friend Card

The new Wild Bunch stamp set that is the June Product of the Month from Stampin’ Up and the Bloom Boutique paper were used to make this adorable card.  I love highland cows so I had to have this.  There is some cutting up front and a bit of coloring but goes quick once you get the cutting done.

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

  • Baked Brown Sugar card stock (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Barely Blush card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Very Vanilla card stock
  • Bloom Boutique designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Wild Bunch stamp set (June 2026 Product of the Month Stampin’ Up)
  • Scalloped Bloom dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Early Expresso ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Pecan Pie Light and Dark Stampin’ Blends (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Barely Blush Light and Dark Stampin’ Blends (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

Cut the following:

From Baked Brown Sugar card stock: 

  • Card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”
  • Two measuring 2” x 2 1/16” for the highland cow and snail backgrounds
  • One measuring 1 15/16” x 2” for the Koala background
  • Two measuring 1 5/8” x 1 15/16” for the two floral backgrounds on the Koala side
  • One measuring 1 1/8” x 2” for the floral background of the one between the cow and snail

Barely Blush:

  • Cut two pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one for the card front base and one for the inside base

Very Vanilla (I used vanilla because I had it setting there, might look a bit better on white):

  • One piece measuring 4” x 5 ¼” for the inside
  • Two measuring 1 7/8” x 1 15/16”
  • One to 1 13/16” x 1 7/8”

Barely Blush floral from the Bloom Boutique designer series paper: 

  • Two pieces measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one for the front and one for the inside
  • Two pieces to 1 ½” x 1 13/16”
  • One piece to 1” x 1 15/16”

Take the three Very Vanilla pieces and the Early Expresso ink and stamp the Highland Cow and the snail on the two pieces measuring 1 ½” x 1 13/16” and the Koala on the 1” x 1 7/8” piece.  Use your Pecan Pie light and dark and Barely Blush light and dark Stampin’ Blends to color each to your liking.  Adhere each to the appropriate Baked Brown Sugar pieces.  Then adhere the floral pieces to the appropriate Baked Brown Sugar pieces. 

Now take the Barely Blush piece and start by adhering the highland cow piece in the upper left corner, the snail in the lower left corner and the small floral piece in the middle between them.  Then on the right side adhere one of the floral pieces, the Koala and then the other floral piece.  Take a scrap piece of Very Vanilla and with the Early Expresso ink and the “Hi, friend” greeting stamp stamp and then use the small label die from the Scalloped Blooms dies.  Adhere in the center of the lower right floral piece. 

For the inside take the large piece of Very Vanilla and the Early Expresso ink and stamp the “sending love” greeting in the upper center.  Use the checker stamp and stamp multiple times along the bottom to form a border.  Then stamp the cow off the edge next to the greeting and the snail above the border on the left side.  Use your Stampin’ Blends to color similar to the front.  Adhere to the second piece of Barely Blush and then adhere to the inside of your card. 

What an adorable card to let someone know you care about them.

Bloom Boutique Happy Birthday Card

Used some angles for this card to give it a unique design.  This beautiful floral paper from the Bloom Boutique designer series paper pack along with the stamps and dies of the Boutique Blossoms and Scalloped Blooms sets from Stampin’ Up made this lovely card. 

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

  • Crisp Cantaloupe card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Bloom Boutique designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Boutique Blossoms stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Scalloped Blooms stamp set (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • 2026-2028 In Color Dots (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Crisp Cantaloupe ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Peaceful Pine Light Blender Pen (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

For your card base cut a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe card stock to 4 ¼” x 11” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  With your white card stock cut a piece for the front to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and one for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From the Bloom Boutique designer series paper find the light colored florals with the crisp cantaloupe theme and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

Take your floral piece and a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe and angle the Crisp Cantaloupe piece across the right side of your floral piece in about 1” on the top right corner and about 1 ½” on the bottom left corner, adhere down and then flip over and cut your edges of the Crisp Cantaloupe up to your floral piece edges.  Now angle the Petal Pink piece across the bottom about ¾” up on the left side and about 2” up on the right side, adhere down and flip over and trip again to your floral piece edges. 

Now with your Crisp Cantaloupe ink and the filled in daisy stamp from the Boutique Blossoms stamp set and stamp five flowers and cut them out with the die.  Also, with a piece of white card stock use the large leave sprig die to cut out one and then take the Peaceful Pine Light Blender Pen and color in the leaves, gives a lighter sprig than cut direct from Peaceful Pine which was what I tried first.  Adhere your leaves sprig on the center of the Crisp Cantaloupe part of your card front and then four of the flowers on pop dots over them.  Take the fifth flower and adhere to the left side of the Petal Pink piece.  Now use your Crisp Cantaloupe ink and stamp the “happy birthday” from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set on the right side of the Petal Pink piece.  Now adhere this to the white piece measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and then adhere to the front of your card base. 

For the inside of your card, adhere the white piece to the back panel.  Use your Crisp Cantaloupe ink to stamp the same daisy flower in the lower left corner and the “wishing you a day of relaxation, happiness and lover greeting in the upper center. 

What a bright and cheery birthday card for any friend of family member.

Bloom Boutique Split Fold Card

This card turned out really pretty with the new Hydrangea Hue color from 2026-2028 In Colors from Stampin’ Up.  This card is made with the Bloom Boutique designer series paper and the Boutique Blossoms and Scalloped Blooms stamp and die sets.  I have been wanting to make this split fold card as it has been a while and this paper worked perfectly. 

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

  • Hydrangea Hue Pearlized Specialty Paper (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Bloom Boutique designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Boutique Blossoms stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Scalloped Blooms stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Hydrangea Hue ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Golden Glow Light Blender Pen (2026-28 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

There is a bit of cutting, but then this card goes together quick.  For you card base cut a piece of the Hydrangea Hue Pearlized 12” x 12” paper to 5 ½” x 12” and score at 2”, 4”, 6” and 8” and then starting for the large back panel, fold in, out, in and back out.  Then with your paper trimmer cut 1 ¼” down from the top on panels 2 and 3.  And then the same at the bottom, 1 ¼” up from the bottom on panels 2 and 3.  Cut another piece to 2 7/8” x 3 3/8”.

From the Bloom Boutique designer series paper pack find the Hydrangea Hue colored pieces with the small flowers and then the piece with the florets.  Cut the following:

Small flowers piece:

  • One piece to 3 ¾” x 5 ¼” for the back of your card
  • Two pieces to 1 ¾” x 5 ¼” for panel 1 and 4

Blue florets piece:

  • Two pieces to 1 ¾” x 3 ¾” for the center of panels 2 and 3
  • Four pieces to 1” x 1 ¾” for the top and bottom of panels 2 and 3

White card stock:

  • One piece to 3 7/8” x 5 3/8” for the back panel
  • One piece to 2 ¾” x 3 ¼” for the center of your back panel
  • Two pieces to 1 7/8” x 5 3/8” for panel 1 and 4
  • Two pieces to 1 7/8” x 2 7/8” for the center of panels 2 and 3
  • Four pieces to 1 1/8” x 1 7/8” for the top and bottom of panels 2 and 3

Now that the cutting is done just assembly each flower or floret piece to the coordinating white piece and adhere to the appropriate panel and laid out above.  For panels 2 and three, the small top and bottom sections fold in while the larger center section folds out. 

For the stamping, with your Hydrangea Hue ink stamp two of the medium sized flower by stamping the background stamped off and then stamping the outline over it.  Use the Golden Glow Light Blender Pen to color the centers.  Then stamp four of the small daisy flower outlines and color the centers of those with the Golden Glow Light Blender Pen.  Use the appropriate dies to cut them out.  Then cut out the large leaf and two of the three leaves dies in Hydrangia Hue card stock or Pearlized Specialty paper.  From white card stock cut out the square label with the scalloped edge from the Scalloped Blooms dies and stamp the “you’re a blessing to me” greeting at the bottom above the scallops. 

Adhere the large leaf leaving to the left and up leaving about an 1” from the top.  Cut one leaf off where it won’t show.  Adhere the two larger flowers as desired and then the three daisies around them.  Adhere the two three leaf sets to the left and right sides of the others and then use the single leaf you cut off with one of the daisies. 

For the inside I left it blank and just added one of the daisy flowers in the right corner.

What a lovely card to let someone know how much they mean to you.
