Wildflower Birthday 40th Card

May 28, 2025 No Comments

I made this pretty card for a friend of mine who was turning 40. It uses the Wildflower Birthday designer series paper and cut outs and while there are a lot of layers it is just some cutting and assembly so it is really easy to make.

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

Blueberry Bushel Card Stock
Pretty in Pink card stock
White card stock
Wildflower Birthday designer series paper and cut outs
Blueberry Bushel ink
Birthday stamp (random die I have had for a long time and not from a specific set)
Layered Number Dies (old school Sizzix dies)
Tag Die
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

For your card base take a piece of Blueberry Bushel paper and cut to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut another piece to 2 ¾” x 4”. With your Pretty in Pink card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one to 4” x 5 ¼” for the inside and then one to 2 5/8” x 3 7/8”. Now grab your Wildflower Birthday paper pack and find the floral piece with the light blue background and also the angled stripe piece. Cut the light blue floral piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and the stripes piece to 2 ½” x 3 ¾”.

Take the large piece of Pretty in Pink and adhere the light blue floral piece to it and adhere that to the front of your card. Then build the second layer by adhering the striped piece to the Pretty in Pink and that to the Blueberry Bushel and then adhere that to the center of the front of your card. Take some spare pieces of Blueberry Bushel and Pretty in Pink card stock and cut your “40”. From the Wildflower Birthday pack find the cut outs page and take the large pink tiered cake and one of the medium pink flowers. Put pop dots on the back of the cake and adhere to the center of the striped paper. Put pop dots on the back of your layered “40” and adhere those in the lower left corner and then pop dot the flower and adhere to the lower right side.

For the inside of the card adhere your white card stock piece to the Pretty in Pink piece and adhere to the inside of your card. Find the two large floral corner cut outs from the Wildflower Birthday pack and adhere in the upper left and lower right corners. With a scrap piece of Pretty in Pink card stock and your Blueberry Bushel ink, stamp your “Birthday Wishes” and cut out with a label die and layer some Blueberry Bushel behind that. Adhere with your flowers in the upper left corner.

This is just an adorable birthday card and really easy to make, just takes a little time to cut the layers but otherwise it is just building it up with the cut outs that are all ready to go.

Inked Botanicals Sectional Birthday Card

May 25, 2025 No Comments

This card started out being completely different that where it ended up, I had seen a reverse step card and was trying to make it but didn’t like the way it laid so I took it back apart and used everything but the card base. So now we have what I am calling this card the Inked Botanicals Sectional Card. This paper is just so beautiful, I actually didn’t even know I had it but found it in a stack I hadn’t touched in a while so had to use it.

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

Watermelon Wonder card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Verry Vanilla card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Inked Botanicals designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
With you In Mind stamp set
Thoughtful Expressions stamp set
Watermelon Wonder ink (Stampin’ Up)
Very Vanilla twine (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Scissors
Adhesive of choice

Cut a card base from the Watermelon Wonder card stock to 4 ¼” x 11”, folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. With your Very Vanilla card stock cut an inside piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and another piece to 1” x 4” and another to 1 ½” x 3 ¼”. Take you Inked Botanicals paper and find the dainty floral multicolor piece and the multicolor flowers with stems. With the dainty floral piece cut a two piece to 1 ¾” x 4”. With the flowers with stems piece cut a piece to 2 5/8” x 4”.

With your With You In Mind stamp set and your Watermelon Wonder ink stamp the “Happy Birthday” greeting onto the 1 ½” x 3 ¼” Very Vanilla piece. From the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set use the “enjoy your day” greeting and stamp onto the 1” x 4” piece lightly to the right. Take a spare piece of the large floral paper and hand cut out two of the flowers. Adhere one to the left side of the “enjoy your day” greeting.

Now take your card base and adhere the “enjoy your day piece to the bottom. Then adhere the dainty floral paper to the top of the card, and then the “Happy Birthday” piece to the center of the dainty floral paper. Now take your larger floral paper and adhere in the middle of the others. Take your vanilla twine and wrap around your card twice and tie into a bow. Align this toward the top of your large floral paper.

For the inside, adhere your Very Vanilla piece to the inside of your card. Then adhere the dainty floral piece toward the bottom, leaving a little bit of the Very Vanilla at the bottom. Take the other flower you cut out and adhere that to the left with most of the stem on the dainty floral paper but the flower on your Very Vanilla.

That is all there is to this Inked Botanicals sectional birthday card.

Floral Impressions Thank You Card

May 18, 2025 No Comments

With the Floral Impressions designer series paper and the Impressions Abloom stamp set you can make this nice thank you card.

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

Fresh Freesia card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Floral Impressions designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Impressions Abloom stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
Fancy Border dies (Stampin’ Up)
Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems
Fresh Freesia ink (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Scissors
Adhesive of choice

With a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock cut a piece to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half for your card base. Cut another piece to 1 ¾” x 3” and one to 3” x 5 ½”. From the white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and a second piece to 1 ½” x 2 ¾”. With the Floral Impressions designer series paper find the piece with the Fresh Freesia strips and then also the floral piece with the blue and purple flowers. Cut a piece of each to 3” x 5 ½”. With the Fresh Freesia strip piece cut another to 1” x 4”.

Take the border die and the Fresh Freesia and Fresh Freesia strip piece you cut to 3” x 5 ½” and push the strip piece in ¼” over the Fresh Freesia piece on the left side, take the die and cut both pieces together on the right side a few inches in or so. Adhere the floral piece to the right side of your card base, then the fresh freesia piece to the right and then the strip piece to the right as well, forming a Fresh Freesia border between the two designer series papers.

Take an extra piece of the floral paper and cut out some of the flowers. I used one of the larger purple flowers, one of the larger blue flowers and then two each of the smaller purple and light blue flowers. Also cut three of the leaves. With the Strawberry Slush gems add as centers to the three purple and the large blue flowers.

With the Fresh Freesia piece cut to 1 ¾” x 3” and the white piece that was cut to 1 ½” x 2 ¾”. Put the two pieces together and cut with the border die. Align to the left and adhere together. With your Impressions Abloom stamp set find the “Thanks” and “So very much” greeting stamps and with your Fresh Fressia ink stamp toward the right side. Adhere about 1” in toward the bottom of your card front. Then adhere your cut out flowers to the left side of the label.

With the “I appreciate you” greeting from the Floral Impressions stamp set and the Fresh Freesia ink stamp on the upper center of the white insert for the inside of your card. Take the Fresh Freesia strip piece adhere that toward the bottom of the white insert. Adhere to the inside of your card.

Now you have a nice Thank You card for the next time you need one.
