Memorable Blooms Window Card

No Comments

Using Blackberry Bliss and this lovely Bloom Impressions designer series paper from the 2025 Sale-a-bration make a rich and elegant card. 

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

  • Blackberry Bliss card stock
  • White card stock
  • Bloom Impressions designer series paper from 2025 Sale-a-bration
  • Memorable Blooms stamp set and dies
  • Blackberry Bliss ink
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

Take your piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock and cut your card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to measure 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Also cut a piece to ¾” x 4”.  Find the blackberry floral piece in the Bloom Impressions designer series paper pack from the 2025 Sale-a-bration pack.  Cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼” and one piece to 3 ¾” x 5” and another to ½” x 4”.  Take on of the 4” x 5 ¼” pieces using the plain non-floral side and the 3 ¾” x 5” piece with the floral side.  Adhere the floral piece to the plain piece and then the plain piece to the front of your card base, but only putting adhesive along the outer edges so that you can use the cut out pieces from the window. 

Take your outer octagon die and cut out your windows toward the top of your card front.  Now take the blackberry bliss piece from your window cut out and cut out the floral die cut from the center of it.  Now take the plain purple piece from the window cut out and adhere it to the back of the floral cut out.  Grab the white piece of card stock you cut for the inside and adhere it on the inside.  Put adhesive on the back of the floral piece, close your card front and adhere the floral piece into the windows so it is lined up when you open the card. 

With your Blackberry Bliss ink and the two strips of white and purple, find the “you mean the world to me” stamp from the Memorable Blooms stamp set and stamp it onto the white strip.  Adhere the white strip to the purple strip and adhere the purple strip centered at the bottom of your card front. 

That is all it takes to make this elegant window card.

Thoughtful Expressions Diamond Hummingbird Card

No Comments

This is such a bright card, but it just makes me happy to look at it.  I just love it and I am not a big fan of bright colors.    

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

  • Melon Mambo card stock
  • White card stock
  • Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper from the 2025 Sale-a-bration
  • Jet Black Staz-On ink pad
  • Melon Mabo ink pad
  • Thoughtful Expressions stamp set and dies
  • Stampin’ Blends pens
    • Melon Mambo Light
    • Melon Mambo Dark
    • Shy Shamrock Light
    • Shy Shamrock Dark
    • Daffodil Delight Dark
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop-Dots

Take the Melon Mambo card stock and cut your base card to 4 ¼” x 8 ¾” and another piece 3” x 3”.  Score the 4 ¼” x 8 ¾” at 5 ½” and fold to make your card base.  With the white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” , one to 3 1/8” x 4” and another to 2 ¾” x 2 ¾”.  Now pick your floral designer series paper from the Bloom Impressions paper pack and cut one piece 3” x 3 ¾” and another to 2” x 3 ¾”. 

Take the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of white cards stock and adhere the floral paper piece measuring 2” x 3 ¾” to on end of it, then adhere that to the inside of your card base.  Then get the 3 1/8” x 4” piece of white card stock and adhere the 3” x 3 ¾” floral piece and then adhere that to the front short piece of your Melen Mambo card front.  When closed it should look like it is all one piece. 

Take your 3” x 3” Melon Mambo piece and put adhesive on one half and then adhere that lined up with the front short ends and with the edge of the right side of the card as shown below. 

Then adhere the white card stock that measures 2 ¾” x 2 ¾” piece to that Melon Mambo diamond.  Take the “enjoy your day” stamp and use Melon Mambo ink to stamp the greeting in the left corner.  Use a small piece of the leftover floral paper and cut out one of the floral groupings, then apply pop-dots to the back and adhere to the bottom portion of the diamond. 

Now take your Jet Black Staz-On ink and the hummingbird stamp from the stamp set and stamp the hummingbird onto an extra piece of white card stock.  Take the Melon Mambo light Stampin’ Blends pen to color the through and belly of the hummingbird and then highlight with the dark Melen Mambo Stampin’ Blends pen.  Then use the light Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends pen to color the upper portion of the head and lower portion of the wing and back, then use the dark Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends pen to color the upper portion of the wings and the tail feathers.  Use the dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends pen to color the beak. 

Cut the hummingbird out with the hummingbird die, put pop-dots on the back and adhere it to the right side of the diamond on the front of your card with the upper wings and tail feathers hanging out of the diamond, but make sure it isn’t crossing over your card base. 

Take another small leftover piece of white card stock and stamp the small spray flowers.  Use the light Melen Mambo Stampin’ Blends to color the flowers and the light and dark Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends to color the leaves.  Use the die and cut out the flowers and adhere that to the left inside corner of the card. 

I am not usually a bright card fan, but I love this card and all the colors, it is just cheerful.
