Flowering Fields Bright Tulips Card

This bright and bold Tulips card made with the Flowering Fields paper is just so adorable.  I love this card design and have been waiting to figure out a paper that would work and then I remembered this Flowering Fields with the polka dot paper which I thought would be perfect and I designed if from there. 

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

  • Poppy Parade of Sweet Sorbet card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Flowering Fields designer series paper
  • Pink Sequins (Spellbinders Advent Calendar 2024)
  • Poppy Parade or Sweet Sorbet ink
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With the Poppy Parade or Sweet Sorbet, cut a card base of 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. 

With the Petal Pink card stock cut:

  • 4” x 5 ¼”
  • 3 ¼” x 5 ¼”
  • 2 ¼” x 4”
  • 1 3/8” x 2 ¼”

With the white card stock cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 5” and another to 1 1/8” x 2”.  And find the polka dot paper from the Flowering Fields cut a piece to 3” x 5”.  With the bright tulip paper cut a piece to 2” x 3 ¾”, I tried to make sure there was a good combination of the red and pink tulips. 

Now that all the cutting is out of the way, take the white piece that is 3 ¾” x 5”, your Happiness Abounds stamp set and your ink and stamp the “Happy Birthday” greeting centered toward the top.  Adhere that to the Petal Pink piece cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere that to the inside of your card. 

Now take the small white piece you cut with the Happiness Abounds greeting that says “Wishing you all the happiness you can imagine” and stamp that.  Adhere that white piece to the small Petal Pink piece.  Adhere the polka dots piece to the Petal Pink piece measuring 2 ¼” x 4” and adhere that to the front of your card about a ½” from the left side.  Take the tulips piece and adhere that to the 3 ¼” x 5 ¼” piece and adhere that about 1” down from the top over your polka dot paper.  The take your greeting and adhere that about a ½” from the right and centered between the tulips and the bottom of the card.  Take some of the pink sequins and add them around the card front.

That is all there is to make this bright and cheery birthday card.

Flowering Rain Boots Card

I had to have this Flowering Rain Boots stamps and dies set when they came out as I just love goloshes, especially mine, but they are purple (though I would prefer polka dot). 

To create this card, you need a few things:

  • Sahara Sand card stock
  • Petal Pink card stock
  • Cinnamon Cider card stock
  • White card stock
  • Flowering Fields designer series paper
  • Flowering Rain Boots stamp set and dies
  • Cheerful Daisies label die
  • Umbrella die if you have one (nice touch but not required)
  • Rain drops embossing folder
  • Sahara Sand ink
  • Cinnamon Cider ink
  • Sweet Sorbet ink
  • Petal Pink Light and Dark Stampin’ Blends markers
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

The list of what you need looks like a lot, but it is all mainly little scraps excluding the Sahara Sand and Petal Pink card stock.  Take your Sahara Sand card stock and cut a piece to 5 ½” x 8 ½”, folding in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Then cut another piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.  With your Petal Pink card stock, cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and a second piece for the inside of your card to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

Now take a piece of Cinnamon Cider card stock, your Cinnamon Cider ink and the clay pot stamp from the Flowering Rain Boots set and stamp the pot.  Use the clay pot die to cut out your clay pot along with the rake. I then dabbed the hand of the rake in the Cinnamon Cider ink to give it a bit of a darker color.  Take a scrap piece of white, your Sahara Sand ink and the daisies stamp from the Flowering Rain Boots set and stamp the daisies.  Use your Petal Pink Light and Dark Stampin’ Blends marker to color in your daisies.  Then take your Petal Pink Light Stampin’ Blends marker and color a background for the seed pack, and then with your Sweet Sorbet ink stamp off first and then stamp your seed pack on your colored Petal Pink background.  “Stamp off” mean to ink your stamp as normal and then stamp it lightly onto a scrap and then stamp with it, this gives you’re a lighter color.  Take a scrap piece of Petal Pink card stock and the Sweet Sorbet ink and stamp the “rain or shine I’m here for you” and use the label die from Cheerful Daisies to cut out the greeting. 

Now take the polka dot designer series paper and your Sahara Sand ink and with the rubber boots or goloshes stamp and then use the die to cut these out.  I added an additional touch for the inside which was to die cut out an umbrella with the polka dot paper as well, but that is not part of the Flowering Rain Boots set, that is a die I have from InLoveArts, so if you don’t have an umbrella die then just skip this step. 

Let’s assemble.  Take your Saraha Sand card base and adhere the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” piece of Petal Pink to the front of it.  Take your piece of Sahara Sand card stock and run it through an embossing machine with the raindrops embossing folder and then adhere that to the front of the petal pink piece on the front of your card.  Now adhere your pieces:  Rain boots or goloshes, the pot with the daisies overlapping on the top, the seed pack slightly over the edge of the pot and the rake over top of the seed pack.  Add your greeting label to the upper right corner. 

Now for the inside, take your remaining piece of Petal Pink we cut for the inside and if you have an umbrella adhere that in the upper right corner of the Petal Pink piece.  With your Sweet Sorbet ink and the “every storm that comes also ends” stamp from the Flowering Rain Boots set stamp your greeting.  Adhere that to the inside of your card.

You now have such a cute card to give to someone who if feeling a bit down.
