Welcome Spring! I was having a hard time coming up with a card today, but I am so happy with the one I finally came up with the double stack display style card and perfect for this early spring season. It uses the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set from Stampin’ Up and the Painted Illusions designer series paper.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Darling Duckling card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Painted Illusions designer series paper (February 2026 Product of the Month Stampin’ Up)
- Flowering Rain Boots stamp set and dies (retired Stampin’ Up)
- Everything is Rosy (retired Stampin’ Up)
- Darling Duckling ink (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
- Wild Wasabi ink (retired Stampin Up)
- Smoky Slate ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Light Darling Duckling Stampin’ Blends marker
- Brushed Brass Butterflies embellishments (retired Stampin’ Up)
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop dots
From white card stock cut your card base to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and a second to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 2”, 3 ¾”, 7 ¼” and 9”, then fold in from the center and out on the outsides. Then cut one to 3 ½” x 3 ¾” for the front and a second to 3 3/8” x 3 ¾” for the back panel. From Darling Duckling to 3 ¾” x 4” for the front panel and another to 3 5/8” x 4” for the back panel. From Painted Illusions designer series paper find the piece gradiating from Darling Duckling. From the Darling Duckling section cut a piece to 3 ¼” 4” from the center inside panel.
Take the card base and adhere the center panel to the card base leaving 1” on each side. Adhere the designer series paper piece to the inside center. Adhere the smaller Darling Duckling piece to the right panel leaving 1/8” around the three sides. Adhere the other Darling Duckling piece to the left panel. Use some scrap Darling Duckling card stock and die cut out two of the trellis piece and trim down to 5 sections and repeat. Then adhere one of each to the white sides of the card base.
With some scrap white card stock stamp and die cut the following:
- With Smoky Slate ink stamp the rain can and also a pair of the rain boots
- From Darling Duckling ink stamp the daisy grouping and the tulip flowers
- From Wild Wasabi ink stamp the seed pack and the tulip stems. Use the Light Darling Duckling Stampin’ Blends market to color in the daisy on the see pack.
Take the larger white panel and stamp the “live life in full bloom” greeting from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set and stamp in the upper left corner in Wild Wasabi ink. Adhere the rain can to the lower right corner, adhere the daisy bunch to the top of the rain can with pop dots and the seed pack with pop dots in the lower left corner overlapping the bottom of the can slightly. Add one of the brass butterflies above the daisies. Adhere to the front left Darling Duckling panel.
For the right inside panel, take the other white panel and stamp the “time to celebrate all the lovely things in life starting with you” greeting from the Everything is Rosy stamp set in Wild Wasabi ink in the upper center. Add two of the brass butterflies. Adhere to the left lower Darling Duckling panel.
For the back center panel adhere the tulip steams to the top of the rain boots and adhere to the center panel over the designer series paper. Adhere the tulips to the top of the stems. Add two of the brass butterflies.
What a cheerfully Spring card.
