Bouquet of Roses Charming Day Card

No Comments

This card is made with the rose die from the Stampin’ Up Charming Day stamps and dies.  This lovely rose die in the Charming Day suite makes such pretty roses and were perfect for my card.  I saw a similar card on Facebook and thought it was such a great idea though I can’t find what site I found it on, and this die was perfect for what I wanted.

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

  • Darling Duckling card stock (2025-2027 In Colors from Stampin’ Up)
  • Strawberry Slush (2025-2027 In Colors from Stampin’ Up)
  • Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Subtle 3D embossing folder (Stampin’ Up)
  • Charming Day stamps and dies (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Fancy Border Dies (2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Strawberry Slush ink (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
  • White Crinkle Ribbon (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop Dots

With white card stock cut your card base to 5 1/2” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Then cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and two pieces to 3 ¾” x 5”.  Then with your Darling Ducking card stock cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

With the Subtle 3D embossing folder emboss the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” white card stock and one of the 3 ¾” x 5”.  Now with the 3 ¾” x 5” embossed white piece and one of your Darling Duckling pieces and align the white over the Darling Duckling with the right upper corner hanging over the right upper about 1/8” on each side then use the simple Fancy Border Die along each corner and cut to cut the corner to make a spot to hold your flowers like they are wrapped in paper.  Then adhere the white piece to the Darling Duckling. 

Now cut three roses from the rose die in the Charming Day dies from the Strawberry Slush card stock, and another three from Old Olive card stock.  Then also cut one of the leaves with the die from Old Olive.  The cut the rose tops off the Strawberry Slush roses you cut and adhere to the Old Olive roses you cut so you have the green for stems and leave and the pink rose.  Align your roses through the slot you cut and adhere to the back and then adhere the whole thing to the larger white embossed piece.  Then adhere your leaves die cut piece to the back of your three roses just to add a bit of filler. 

Cut a Darling Duckling tag and a smaller white tag and adhere together.  Stamp the “you made my day” greeting on the white label with Strawberry Slush ink.  Adhere to the front of your card.  Take a piece of White Crinkle Ribbon and tie a bow and adhere to the base of the roses.

Now for the inside of your card take the white piece and adhere to the Darling Duckling piece.  Take the “Thanks for being you” greeting and stamp on the upper portion of your white card stock.  Adhere to the inside of your card.

This gives you a lovely bouquet card to make someone’s day.

Fine Art Floral Lovely Card

No Comments

This beautiful card is made with the Fine Art Floral designer series paper from Stampin’ Up.  This section of the paper was just calling out to be the star of a card (though the pinks look a lot different in the photos, they matched in person).    

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

  • Petal Pink card stock
  • Poppy Parade card stock
  • Fine Art Floral designer series paper (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Poppy Parade or Sweet Sorbet ink (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Art Gallery stamps (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With the Petal Pink card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Then cut another piece to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8” for the inside and a piece to ¾” x 3 7/8” for the bottom greeting portion of the card.  From Poppy Parade cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From the Fine Art Floral designer series paper pack find the Petal Pink with pink flowers piece and choose one section to showcase on your card, cut to 3 7/8” x 4 ½”.

Adhere the floral piece to the top of one of the Poppy Parade Pieces.  Take your ¾” x 3 7/8” piece of Petal Pink you cut along with the “you are lovely” greeting from the Art Gallery stamp set and stamp in Poppy Parade (or in my case Sweet Sorbet).  Adhere to the bottom portion below the floral piece. 

Wrap some of the white Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon between the two and adhere to the back of the Poppy Parade.  Adhere this to the front of your Petal Pink card  base. 

Take the Petal Pink piece you cut to the Poppy Parade piece and adhere to the inside of your card.  I decided not to stamp a greeting to the inside so it could be used for a variety of reasons. 

This card was so fast and easy, it just took a few minutes to put together and I would give it to anyone of my friends or family.

Wildflower Birthday 40th Card

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

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.

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.
