Wildflower Birthday Tent Pop-Up Card

No Comments

This card is so fun and it’s easy to make and is a great birthday card for anyone. 

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

  • Pool Party card stock
  • White card stock
  • Wildflower Birthday specialty designer series paper
  • Delightful Wishes stamp and die set
  • A die for the window
  • A die with a scalloped or decorative edge
  • Pool Party ink
  • Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop-Dots

With the Pool Party card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 11” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Cut another piece to 3” x 4 ¼” and score it at every half inch and accordion fold it.  Cut a piece of white card stock to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Get a piece of the cake designer series paper from the Wildflower Birthday pack and cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”.   Also get one of the balloon cutouts from the Wildflower Birthday pack.

Take your card base and the two pieces of cut cake paper.  Adhere one of the cake pieces to the front of the card and take the second piece and flip it over to the striped side and adhere that to the inside of the card. 

Get your die to cut out the front window of the card, make sure it is sized to show the balloons through it and cut it out.  Take a scalloped or decorative die and cut a piece long enough to cover your front cut out and about 2” high and score at ½” from the top and fold.  Adhere the half inch portion to the top edge of the striped designer series paper.  Align your balloons in the window and adhere to the white folded piece.  Trim the bottom of the ballons to the bottom of the striped paper.  Now take your according piece and adhere one side to the back bottom of your card with the accordion folds pointing up.  Adhere the bottom of your balloons to the front of the middle accordion fold so that it will be at the middle level.  Then adhere the front of the accordion fold piece to the back of the front flap of the card. 

Take a spare piece of white card stock and your Pool Party ink and stamp the “wishing” stamp from the Delightful Wishes stamp set and use the wishing die to cut it out.  Then stamp the “you a happy birthday” and use the long label die to cut it out.  Adhere the “wishing” across the front of your opening angled up on the right.  Adhere the “you a happy birthday” across the bottom of your window.   

Take the white piece you cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the back of the card.  Add a few more decorative cut outs from the Wildflower Birthday designer series paper pack, I used one of the pink balloons and the small flowers.

I love this card, mainly as I love setting my cards out and the cards that are vertically cut tend to not stay standing very well, but the accordion bottom fixes that.  So cute as well.

Mixed Floral Angled Z-Fold Card

No Comments

It has taken me a long time to come up with a card design I am happy with for this stamp set, but I am really happy with what I finally came up with.  And of course a Z-fold card is where I landed, but the angled Z-fold, which I haven’t made of like this for a while.    

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

  • Daffodil Delight card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Soft Sea Foam (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Delightful Wishes designer series paper
  • Mixed Floral stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Magnolia Mood (Stampin’ Up)
  • Jet Black StazOn ink
  • Light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’ Up)
  • Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin Blends (Stampin’ Up)
  • Dark Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scissors
  • Adhesive of choice

Take a piece of Daffodil Delight card stock and cut to 5 ½” x 11” and then on your paper trimmer line the left edge at the 5 ½” edge and then move the right end up so it is at 3 ½” and cut to get your angle.  With your straight bottom edge of your card base so starting at the long edge, score at 4 ¼” and at 7 5/8”, folding the middle to the right and the top panel to the left to form your Z-fold. 

With the polka dot designer series paper from the Delightful Wishes paper pack, cut a piece to 5 ¼” x 11” and cut the same angle with 5 ¼” at the left end and 3 ¼” on the right edge.  Cut from the small edge for your front panel to 3 1/8” wide, then cut off a ¼” and cut another piece 3 1/8” wide for the middle panel and then cut off a ¼” and cut your back panel to 4” wide.  Take the middle panel and cut another going the opposite direction out of the polka dot paper and one the same direction from a piece of white card stock. 

Take your card base and your small panel for the front and adhere.  Then adhere your large panel to the back panel.  Adhere the middle panel to the middle panel when the card is fully open, and the opposite direct one goes on the back side of the middle panel so when the card it closed it has the same decorative paper. 

With your remaining piece of angled white card stock with the highest part of your angle to the left.  With the Magnolia Mood “Happy Birrthday” greeting stamp and your Jet Black StazOn stamp the greeting.  Adhere this to the back panel of your card aligning to the left side and aligning the bottom so it doesn’t show when your card is closed. 

With your large tulip stamp from Mixed Florals and your Jet Black StazOn Ink stamp the design and then stamp the right half again for the inside.  Color the leaves of both with the Dark Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends, color the tulips with the Light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends, highlight with the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends if you would like, and color the little flowers with the Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends.  Use the Mixed Florals dies to cut out the full image and also the partial.  Then take a pair of scissors and trim down the partial one along the large leave between the two tulips to the right so you just get the one tulip. 

Then with your Soft Sea Foam card stock cut two of the large leaves with the die from Mixed Florals.  Adhere the to leaf cut outs to the front of your card with the one toward the right hanging over the edge a bit and both hanging over the top, but not higher than your 5 ½” card height.  Now adhere the full size colored tulip cut-out to the front centered between the two leaf pieces.  Take the small cut out and adhere that to the inside panel to the right aligned along the side of you white panel but to the right edge so it shows with the full size one when closed. 

Now that I finally came up with a design, I am happy with I really like this card and I hope you do as well.

Delightful Wishes Double Gate Fold Card

No Comments

Send some appreciation to someone with this bright and cheerful double gate fold card.  This Delightful Wishes set is so beautiful and you can’t beat the Floral Delight designer series paper. 

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

  • Daffodil Delight card stock
  • Lemon Lolly card stock
  • Crumb Cake card stock
  • White card stock
  • Floral Delight designer series paper
  • Delightful Wishes stamp set and dies
  • Memorable Blooms stamp set and dies
  • Limon Lolly ink
  • Daffodil Delight ink
  • Old Olive ink
  • Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
  • Paper trimmer
  • Bone folder
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop-Dots

With your Lemon Lolly card stock cut your card base to 5 ½” x 11” and score at 1 ¼”, 3 3/8”, 7 5/8” and 9 ¾” and fold up from the center and then out on the ends.  Take a piece of White card stock and cut that to 3 ½” x 8 ¼” and score at 1 1/8”, 2 5/8”, 5 5/8” and 7 1/8” and fold the same with coming up from the center and out on the ends.  Use a bone folder on all your fold edges to make sure they are folding flat.  Then take your Daffodil Delight and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and two strips at 1” x 5 ¼”.  With your floral delight designer series paper find the Forsythia paper and cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 5”. 

Now take your Delight Wishes stamp set and dies and the Crumb Cake card stock and cut two sticks with the stick die.  Get your Old Olive ink, White card stock and the double leave stamp and stamp and die cut out 5 of them.  Take more White card stock, your Lemon Lolly ink and the solid Forsythia back group stamp and stamp three of these.  Then change the stamp to the Forsythia detail stamp and with your Daffodil Delight ink and light up the stamp and stamp on the detail over the background stamped items that you stamped in Lemon Lolly.  Use the Forsythia die and cut out the three sets of flowers.  Arrange and adhere one set to each and two leaves to each of the sticks.  Find your White scored piece of card stock for your inside and with your Memorable Blooms stamp set stamp “I appreciate your thoughtfulness” on the inside as a greeting and then decorate with the remaining set of Forsythia flowers and one last leaf.  Take a spare piece of White card stock and your Old Olive ink and stamp “Thanks so much” from the same Memorable Blooms set and use the small label die from that set to cut it out. 

Now it is time to put all the pieces together.  Start with your Lemon Lolly card base and adhere the Daffodil Delight 4” x 5 1/4 “ piece to the center and then adhere the Forsythia designer series paper centered on the Daffodil Delight piece.  Then take the scored white piece and adhere one side centered to the top fold on each side of your Lemon Lolly card base which leave it floating up about ¾” from the back of the card.  Find your two 1” x 5 ¼” strips of Daffodil Delight and adhere that over the white and the other flaps on each side.  Then take you Forsythia sticks and adhere to each side, making sure they are not hanging over in the middle so that the card can close.  Adhere the “Thanks so much” label to the lower right flap. 

There is the Double Gate Fold card.  You may want to incorporate a ribbon in to tie at the front to help keep it closed, but I think it being open is the appeal of this card.

Delightful Wishes Angled Z-Fold Card

No Comments

This Wishing You Well angled z-fold card  is fun to make and so fun and bright, it just makes you smile. 

To create this card you just need a few things:

  • Daffodil Delight card stock
  • White card stock
  • Floral Delight designer series paper pack
  • Delightful Wishes stamp and die bundle
  • Lemon Lolly ink pad
  • Daffodil Delight ink pad
  • Old Olive ink pad
  • Pecan Pie ink pad (I didn’t have so I used Copper Clay ink pad instead)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scissors
  • Adhesive of choice

With a piece of Daffodil Delight card stock, cut your card base to 5 ½” x 11”.  Score at 3 3/8” and at 6 ¾”.  Cut the angle staring in the upper right-hand corner and down to 3” at the left side.  Fold into the z-shape on the left side of the card. 

Take the Floral Delight designer series paper pack and pull out three pieces to use, I used the floral doily, gingham and flowers on stick papers.  Take the flowers on stick paper and cut a piece 4” x 5 ¼” and angle from 5 ¼” on the right down to 4 3/8” on the right.  Then cut a piece of the gingham to 3 1/8 x 4 ¼” and angle this from 4 ¼” on the right side down to 3 ½” on the left side and a piece of white card stock to the same dimensions but angle to the right.  Now take the floral doily piece and cut it to 3 1/8” x 3 3/8” and angle from the right side down to 2 5/8” on the left. 

With a piece of spare white card stock and the Delightful Wishes stamp set.  Stamp the filled in floral stamp in the Lemon Lolly ink, then use the highlight floral stamp in Daffodil Delight ink and line up and stamp over the Lemon Lolly.  Now use the Pecan Pie ink (or in my case the Copper Clay ink as I couldn’t find my Pecan Pie ink pad) and line up and stamp the stem.  Then take the Old Olive ink with the leave stamp and line up and stamp the leaves.  This gives you a beautiful floral decoration for the front of your card, you will need to cut out the floral decoration by hand. 

Take a piece of Daffodil Delight card stock and white card stock and use the two wishing dies from the Delightful Wishes die set.  Cut the think wishing out of the Daffodil Delight and the background wishing out of the white. Adhere together.  Use the long label die from the die set and cut out a label.  Use the Old Olive ink and stamp the You Well onto the label.  The cut off the other end of the label by lining it up to cut it to your desired length.  Adhere the wishing die cut to the front of your card down toward the bottom, the “g” will hang off a bit over the middle.  Adhere the You Well center below the wishing.  The adhere the floral decoration you created above and hanging over the angle.  Adhere the white angled piece to the inside on
the back center angle.

Wildflower Birthday Cake Cut-Out Card

No Comments


This adorable card is so easy to make and hardly even requires stamping, it is mainly using the cut-outs that come with the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper pack from Stampin’ Up’s January-April 2025 Mini catalog.  It comes with the normal double-sided paper and then two sheets to cut-outs as well. 

To create this card you just need a few things:

  • White card stock
  • Peach Pie card stock
  • Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper pack
  • Peach Pie ink pad
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop-Dots

To start cut your Peach Pie card stock into 4 ¼” x 11” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Then cut another piece of the Peach Pie card stock to 2 ¾” x 4 ¼”.  Now take your piece of white card stock and cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼” and another to 2 ½” x 4”.  The last is to take a piece of the Peach Pie Daisy paper from your Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper pack and cut a piece 3 ¾” x 5”.  That takes care of all the cutting.

Let’s build our layers for the front of the card.  Take your card base and adhere one of the 4” x 5 ¼” pieces of white card stock to the front of the card.  Then adhere your Peach Pie Daisy piece of card stock onto the white.  Add the 2 ¾” x 4 ¼” piece of Peach Pie card stock and then lastly the 2 ½” x 4” white piece of card stock.  From the Wildflower Birthday pack take the larger peach cake cut-out from one of your pieces, along with one of the very small flower groupings and one of the cupcakes, I used the one with the peach paper and teal frosting. 

First, take the small flower cut-out and adhere it to the cake base for decoration, then take the cake cut-out and add Pop-Dots to the back of the cake and adhere it to the center of the top white piece of card stock to finish the front of your card.


Take the last piece of white card stock for the inside of your card and adhere the cupcake to the lower right corner.  For the inside greeting I used the Delightful Wishes stamp and die set where I took my Peach Pie ink and stamped “wishing” onto a piece of white card stock and then took the wishing die and cut out my stamped wishing.  I adhered that to the top of the white card stock inside piece.  Finally, I stamped “you a happy birthday” under the wishing die cut greeting.  Now adhere your white inside piece to the inside of your card.

Wasn’t that easy and quick, and it is such a cute card.
