Natures Symphony To a Great Buy Birthday Card

May 16, 2026 No Comments

This masculine birthday card made from Nature’s Symphony stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up and the Delicate Dreams designer series paper. I also used the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder to give the background great depth.

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

Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Crumb Cake White Core card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Copper Clay card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Delicate Dreams designer series paper (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Nature’s Symphony stamp set and dies (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Birthday Greetings stamp set (retired Stampin’ Up)
Copper Clay ink (Stampin’ Up)
Natural Matte Dots (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder (retired Stampin’ Up)
Sanding block
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

From the Mossy Meadow card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half. From the Crumb Cake white core card stock cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼” and another to 5/8” x 2”. From Copper Clay use the wood die from Nature’s Symphony to cut out. From a piece of the varied Mossy Meadow designers series paper from the Delicate Dreams pack cut leaves using the large leaf die and one of the small leaves.

Take one of the Crumb Cake white core pieces you cut and using the light side emboss with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder and use your sanding block to expose some of the white and make your brinks stand out. Adhere to the front of your Mossy Meadow card base.

Adhere the large leaf pieces toward the upper section of your card front. Adhere the wood piece you cut out to the bottom of the leaf piece. Take the label piece of the Crumb Cake white core paper you cut and with Copper Clay ink stamp the “to a great guy” greeting. Use the sanding block to expose some white on your label, then adhere to the top your wood piece. Adhere three of the Mossy Meadow Natural Matte Dots in the smaller size around the front of your card.

For the inside, adhere the other piece of Crumb Cake white core card stock to the inside back panel. Use your sanding block to expose some of the white. Adhere the small leave in the lower left corner and in Copper Clay ink stamp the “happy birthday” greeting from the Birthday Greeting stamp set.

What a nice masculine card for any guy you knows birthday.

Delicate Dreams Happiness and Love Card

May 1, 2026 No Comments

I had seen this card design and thought it would look great in the Delicate Dreams wheat and linen papers from Stampin’ Up and the greeting made it work for a wedding card I need for a guy I work with.

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

White card stock
Delicate Dreams designer series paper (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Delicate Whispers stamp set and dies (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Best Wishes to the Mr and Mrs stamp (Hampton Art PS0929)
Natural Matte Dots (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Crumb Cake ink (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

From a piece of white card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut another piece to 3” x 4 7/8” and cut on an angle down 2” angling to the right. From your Delicate Dreams designer series paper find the wheat looking paper and the linen piece and cut one of each to 4” x 5 ¼”. Take the wheat paper and lay on the front of your card front lined up with the top of your card and leaving about ½” at the bottom and cut down 2” angling to the right. From the linen paper also cut a strip to ¾” x 4”. From a scrap piece of white card stock cut a label of choice, this one was pre-cut so I just grabbed it.

Adhere the white angled piece to the front of your card base. Adhere the strip down about 1” on the right side from your angle. Take your label and stamp “wishing you happiness & love” greeting stacked in Crumb Cake ink. Adhere over your strip slightly to the right of center.

On a scrap piece of white card stock and stamp the wheat in Crumb Cake and use your die to cut it out. Adhere it to the left side of your label.

For the inside of your card adhere the piece of linen paper to the inside back of your card base. Then adhere your white angled piece making sure you won’t see it when you close your card. Use Crumb Cake ink and stamp the “best wishes to the Mr & Mrs” greeting in the upper portion of your white piece in your angle to the left side. Then with your Natural Matte Dots adhere three of the smaller Crumb Cake smaller dots in a line in the upper right corner of your linen paper.

What a quick and easy wedding card that is so pretty, especially when giving for the groom.

Delicate Dreams Scalloped Wishes Thanks Card

April 22, 2026 No Comments

I had some triangle pieces left from a different card I made so I came up with this design so that I could use them on this gate fold that opens in the middle. It uses the blue floral paper from the Delicate Dreams designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and the Scalloped Wishes dies and stamps.

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

Hydrangea Hue card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Pear Pizzaz card stock (retired Stamp’ Up)
White card stock
Delicate Dreams designer series paper (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Scalloped Wishes stamp set and dies (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Hydrangea Hue ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Bordered Ribbon Hydrangea Hue (2026-2028 In Color Stampin Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

To cut your card base take a piece of white card stock and cut to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 2 ¾” and 8 ¼”. Cut another white piece to 3 ¾” x 5” for the inside of your card. From the Hydrangea Hue card stock cut a piece to 2 7/8” x 2 7/8” and cut on the diagonal into to halves. In your Delicate Dreams designer series paper pack find the blue and white floral piece and cut two pieces to 2 5/8” x 4 1/8” and a piece to 2 ¾” x 2 ¾” which you cut in half on the diagonal as well.

From the Scalloped Wishes dies take a scrap piece of white card stock and cut the large plain label and dragonfly wings. With some scrap Hydranea Hue card stock cut the larger scalloped designed label and four flowers (two sets of two), along with a dragonfly body. Take a scrap of Pear Pizzaz card stock and cut out two of the longer leaf sprigs.

Now we can assemble, starting with taking your white card base and folding each side in to meet at the center. Take the two rectangle floral pieces and adhere one to each side of the front of your card. Take your floral triangles and adhere to the Hydrangea Hue triangles and adhere one of each to the outside edge of your floral pieces.

With the Hydrangea Hue label, adhere it to the larger white label. Then adhere one of your leaf springs to the left side along with two of the flowers. Grab your Hydrangea Hue ink and the “with sincere thanks” greeting from Scalloped Wishes and stamp to the right side. With your Bordered Ribbon cut a piece and tie a bow and adhere to the upper right side of your label. Adhere the left side of your label to the left side centered in your card front. Adhere the dragonfly body to the front of wings and adhere the dragonfly to the upper right of your card, making sure it doesn’t interfere with your card label when opening the card.

For the inside of your card take the 4” x 5 ¼” Hydrangea Hue paper and adhere the 3 ¾” x 5” white piece to it and adhere to the inside of your card. Adhere the leaf spring and two remaining flowers in the lower left corner of the inside.

What a lovely thank you card for a girlfriend or work mate who does something you should say thanks for.

Fold the 4 ¼” side in and the 5 ½” down to form you card base. From Crumb Cake cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and cut in half on the diagonal and adhere to each side. Then with the floral piece from the Delicate Dreams designer series paper pack cut to 3 ¾” x 5” and cut on the diagonal and adhere to your Crumb Cake pieces.

With a white piece of card stock cut out a 3” circle with a die. To the lower right side use the “for someone extra special” greeting from the 12 Days of Crafting stamp set and stamp in Secret Sea ink.

Delicate Dreams Thanks for Being You Card

March 12, 2026 No Comments

The Delicate Dreams floral designer series papers from Stampin’ Up are so pretty and cheerful. This is a really plain and simple card but turned out just like I had it in my head, which doesn’t happen most of the time. I really liked the darkness of the Secret Sea paper and the Gray Granite to pull the colors from this floral paper.

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

Secret Sea card stock (2025-27 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Gray Granite card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Delicate Dreams designer series paper (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Delicate Whisters stamp set (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Charming Day stamp set (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Circle Dies
Secret Sea ink (2025-27 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Variegated Trim ribbon (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

From your Secret Sea card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut a piece of Gray Granite for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”. With your Delicate Dreams designer series paper find the piece of Gray Granite and the floral paper that has the Gray Granite flowers. From the Gray Granite dsp paper cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and from the floral piece cut it to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”. With a scrap piece of Secret Sea use a circle die about 2 ¾” and cut one. With the Gray Granite dsp or a scrap piece of Gray Granite card stock use the 2 3/8” circle die to cut out one.

Take the two circles you cut and adhere together. Take the “Thanks for being you” stamp from the Charming Day stamp set and Secret Sea ink and stamp evenly in an upper portion so you can trim the left and bottom.

Adhere your floral piece of paper to the Gray Granite dsp paper. Adhere a piece of the Variegated Trim ribbon about ¾” up from the bottom and adhere on the back of each side. Adhere your circle in the lower left corner and trim off the overhanging portion at the left side and bottom. Now adhere this to the front of your card base.

Take the Gray Granite piece of card stock you cut and stamp the “you made my day” greeting and your Secret Sea in and stamp in the upper center. Then use the floral sprig stamp going to the right and with your Secret Sea ink and stamp in the lower left corner. Adhere to the inside of the card.

What a pretty simple floral card to thank someone for doing something special for you.

Delicate Dreams Thank You Kindly Card

March 5, 2026 No Comments

I love the tan and blue color combinations of this new Delicate Dreams designer series paper from Stampin’ Up. The florals are all pretty and then this linen paper is a great background. The Delicate Whispers stamps and dies offer a lot of great foliage and floral options to add to the cards as well.

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

Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Delicate Dreams designer series paper (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Delicate Whisters stamp set and dies (March 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Stitched Hexagon dies (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

From you Crumb Cake card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. From you white card stock cut a piece for the inside 4” x 5 ¼”. Take the Delicate Dreams designer series paper pack and find the Mossy Meadow piece, the Crumb Cake linen piece and the floral with the smaller flowers. From the Mossy Meadow piece (or you can use Mossy Meadow card stock if you prefer) cut two pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and another to 3 1/8” x 4 3/8”. From the Crumb Cake linen paper cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. The with the floral piece cut one to 3” x 4 ¼”.

Grab your Stitched Hexagon dies and find the one that measures 1 ½” and the next one up that measures 1 ¾’ wide. From scrap white card stock cut the 1 ½” label and from your Mossy Meadow paper cut one of the 1 ¾” wide ones. Adhere them together. Then cut one of the angled ends off to make your label. Use the Mossy Meadow ink and the “Thank you kindly” greeting stamp from the Delicate Whispers stamp set and stamp to the right side of your label, pointed end, with the top of the stamp lining up with the point.

Take a scrap piece of the floral paper and the small flower and leaves die and cut out two of the crumb cake flowers from the paper, or you can stamp and color your own. Take one of the flower you cut out and adhere to the left side of your label.

Now lets get the card put together. Start with adhering your linen piece to one of the two larger Mossy Meadow pieces and then adhere that to the front of your card base. Then adhere the floral piece to the smaller Mossy Meadow piece and adhere that in the center of your linen paper leaving about ½” on all four sides. Now adhere you label in the lower left portion of your card over the floral paper and lining up on the outside Mossy Meadow edge.

For the inside of the card adhere your second large Mossy Meadow paper to the inside and then the white card stock piece on top of that. Now adhere the second cut out flower in the lower left corner of the white card stock. If you would like to stamp a greeting on the inside feel free to do so, I didn’t as my friend has asked for some thank you cards that don’t have inside greetings and this is for her.

What a lovely card, I love these color combinations, and a great thank you card for anyone.
