I have looked at making this pop-up style card for a while and this paper from the Painted Illusions designer series paper from Stampin’ Up seemed perfect for it. I am not usually a fan of bright papers so breaking it up into small pieces with a calming background warmed it all up. I love how it turned out and while there was a bit more cutting that usual, especially since I did two layers, it really went together fairly fast.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
Lost Lagoon card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Painted Illusions designer series paper (March 2026 Product of the Month Stampin’ Up)
2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
Lost Lagoon ink (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
From a piece of Lost Lagoon card stock cut these pieces:
A card base to 4 ¼” x 8 ½” and score at 1 ½” and 3”. Fold the middle small panel in and the outside small panel out to form a “z” fold.
3 ¼” x 4 ½” and score at 1 ¼”, 3”, and 4 ¼” and fold all inwards
2 ¼” x 3 ¾” and score at 1”, 2 ½” and 3 ½” and fold all inwards
1 ¼” x 3” and score at ¾”, 2” and 2 ¾” and fold all inwards
From white card stock cut the following:
Two pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” for the back of the card base and back panel
Two to 1 3/8” x 4 1/8”
1 5/8” x 3 1/8”
1 3/8” x 2 1/8”
1 1/8” x 1 1/8”
From the Painted Illusions designer series paper find the Lost Lagoon decorative piece and also the Lost Lagoon and Granny Apple Green “swooshy” piece. From the Lost Lagoon decorative piece cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the swooshy piece cut the following:
Three pieces to 1 ¼” x 4”
1 ½” x 3”
1 ¼” x 2
1” x 1”
For one of the 1 ¼” x 4” and each of the other three, if you need a pattern to align, as I did, then cut them all from the same piece in order and then an even about off the top and bottom of the last three pieces.
Adhere the large white piece to the back panel of your card base and then the Lost Lagoon decorative piece to the top of that. Adhere your first 1 ¼” x 4” “swooshy” piece that starts your patterns that align to one of the white pieces measuring 1 3/8” x 4 1/8”, and then adhere that to the top of your front panel. Use one of the other two “ swooshy” pieces to adhere to one of the white pieces and adhere to the front of the middle panel.
Now time to create your steps. Adhere each of your smaller “swooshy” pieces to their appropriate white pieces and then adhere each to the second section of each of the appropriate steps. Take your largest step and adhere adhesive to the first panel, adhere in the center of the middle card base panel, then put adhesive on the ¼” section of the block, fold the third and fourth panel up and then fold your card down to find the appropriate spot, repeat for the next two sections.
With the large floral stamp with the three flowers and your Lost Lagoon ink, stamp them on a scrap piece of white. Color the leaves with the Light Garden Green Stampin’ Blends pen. Fussy cut out the three flowers and the colored leaves. Then stamp the “happy birthday” greeting and cut out a rectangle around it. Adhere the large flower to the bottom of the first panel with a single leaf and the triple leaves and then adhere the Happy Birthday greeting, angled up above the second and third pop-up blocks. Adhere the middle flower and one of the two leaves to the upper portion of the second panel and the small flower and two leaves to the fourth pane.
For the back of the card adhere the large piece of white to the back and then the last “swooshy” piece to the left side of the right. Stamp a birthday greeting in Lost Lagoon ink centered in the upper portion of the rest of the white. I used a stamp that says “wishing you a day of little treasures and simple pleasures, happy birthday” which is a single stamp I have had for a long time but don’t know who made it.
This card turned out so cute, and it is so out of my normal range, so I was so excited about it.

The Delicate Dreams floral designer series papers from Stampin’ Up are so pretty and cheerful.

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.

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.

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.
