Cottage Rose Trellis Card

April 14, 2025 No Comments

This is a cute see through card with a beautiful rose for a touch of elegance. I used the Wild Wheat as the color tones to keep it a bit vintage to go with the trellis cut out.

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

Very Vanilla card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Softly Stippled designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Cottage Rose stamp set and dies (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Trellis die
Textured Notes dies
Jet Black Staz-On ink
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With the Very Vanilla card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 11” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. With the Softly Stippled designer series paper, find the piece that is Wild Wheat colored with a look of painted texture. Cut two pieces of that to 4” x 5 ¼”. Adhere one piece to the front of your card and the other to the inside of your card.

Take a spare piece of Very Vanilla and the trellis die and cut it out. Then take the medium rectangle die from the Textured Notes dies and cut a frame that measures about 3 ¾” wide. Use the same medium rectangle die and cut out a rectangle on the front of your card, which will leave about ¼” on each side for support. Trim your Trellis piece to just under the size of the rectangle you cut out, adhere to the back and then adhere that over the hole on the front of your card, giving you the trellis window.

Take another spare piece of Very Vanilla and your Jet Black StazOn ink and stamp the large rose and the leaf stem from the Cottage Rose stamp set. Use the light and dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends to color the leaves, the dark Cajin Craze Stampin’ Blends to color the dainty flowers, use the light Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends to color the stems and then the light and dark Wild Wheat to color the rose. Use the dies from the Cottage Rose set to cut out the large rose and the leaf stem. Adhere the stems to the lower right below your trellis cut out. Use pop dots on the large rose and adhere to the lower left corner overlook

For the inside cut two rectangle pieces from some Very Vanilla. On one of them stamp the “Happy Birthday” greeting from the Cottage Rose stamp set. Adhere that one to the top of the inside of your card. On the other one stamp one of the small roses from the Cottage Rose stamp set to the left side leaving room for signatures and a note. Use your same Stampin’ Blends to color that rose. Adhere this to the bottom of the inside of your card.

That gives you the Cottage Rose Trellis card for a lovely sentiment for anyone’s birthday.

Magnolia Mood Rustic Thank You Card

April 10, 2025 No Comments

I felt like going a bit rustic today with this Magnolia Mood card. This set is so lovely and so detailed that it really doesn’t even need any color. I gave the leaves a bit of color but otherwise just let the stamp do all the work.

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

Early Expresso card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Sahara Sand card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Magnolia Mood stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
Soft Suede ink (Stampin’ Up)
Old Olive Dark Stampin’ Blends
Woodgrain embossing Folder (Stampin’ Up)
Two label dies that layer
Rustic Metal Adhesive-Backed Dots (Stampin’ Up)
Sponge
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

Start with taking your Early Expresso card stock and cutting into a card base at 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Then with your Sahara Sand card stock cut two pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and a third piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. Cut a piece of white card stock to 4” x 5/14”.

Take the Sahara Sand piece cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and your woodgrain embossing folder and emboss. Take your Soft Suede ink pad and lightly run it over your embossed piece to highlight the wood grain. You can also use a brayer to ink if you want it to only ink the grain and be a bit more neat, but I like the more rusticness of running the ink pad instead for this one.

With some scrap white paper and your Soft Suede ink stamp one of the large magnolias and one of the small single flowers. Use your Old Olive Dark Stampin’ Blends to color the leaves and then cut them out with the dies. Then take your cut piece of white card stock that you cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and stamp another of the small single flowers slightly off the card in the lower left corner. Find the “just a not no let you know that you are loved” greeting and stamp toward the top center for the inside of your card. With the “Thank you for being you” greeting stamp onto a piece of scrap white card stock.

Take on of your pieces of Sahara Sand and adhere your wood grain piece to it and then adhere that to the front of your card base. With pop dots, adhere the large magnolia in the slower left of your card and then the small flower to the right side with the stem hidden slightly under the large magnolia. With your “Thank you for being you” greeting use the smaller of two label dies to cut that out greeting. With a scrap piece of Sahara Sand and the larger label die cut out a piece. I used a sponge to sponge the edges of both labels, then adhere together and then with pop dots adhere to the upper part of your card front. Adhere a few metal embellishments around your label.

Take you stamped white inside piece and adhere to the second piece of Sahara Sand card stock and adhere to the inside of your card.

That is all there is to making this rustic Magnolia Mood thank you card. I was really happy with how it turned out and can’t wait to give it to someone.

Mixed Media Floral Z-Fold Card

March 11, 2025 No Comments

This cheery floral z-fold card made with Mixed Media Floral designer series paper from Stampin’ Up was so easy and quick to make.

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

Daffodil Delight card stock
White card stock
Mixed Media Floral designer series paper
Mixed Florals stamps and dies
Mixed Labels stamps and dies
Basic Black ink
Calypso Coral Dark Stampin’ Blends ben
Scissors
Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

Take the Daffodil Delight card stock and cut to 5 ½” x 11” and score at 3 3/8” and 6 ¾” and fold. With the white card stock cut two pieces 3 1/8” x 5 ¼” and one to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the Mixed Media Floral designer series paper pack, find the piece with the mixed florals of yellow cone flowers and peach tulips. Hand cut around the flowers with the even portion on the right side and up to the large cone flower on the right side. Then cut another portion of the two cone flowers from the rest of the left side to use in the middle section.

Note: The other easier option if you don’t care about the additional flowers on the middle panel is to not cut the white cardstock, but to just cut your Mixed Media Floral designer series paper to the three sizes of the white card stock and then you don’t have to the cutting out of the flowers. The other just ads a bit more dimension and I wanted the additional flowers in the middle section.

Take the first 3 1/8” piece of white card stock and line up the right side of the floral paper you cut out to line the right and bottom, and cut to size. Take the second 3 1/8” piece of white card stock and cut the next section of the floral paper to match for the lower portion and use the piece of two cone flowers you cut separate to the right and line up to look like they go together. Then take the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of white card stock and line up and cut the last section of the floral paper to match. Adhere all pieces to the white portions and adhere to the Daffodil Delight card base.

With the Mixed Florals stamp set, stamp two ladybugs with the Basic Black ink, color them in with the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends pen. Die cut out each of the ladybugs and adhere one to the white portion of the middle panel and the other to the upper right side of the back panel. With the Mixed Labels stamp set and the Basic Black ink, stamp the small “Thank You” and cut out with the small label die and then cut out the next size up label die in Daffadil Delight and adhere together and to the upper left corner of the back panel of the card.

That is all it takes to make this cute card.
