This lovely paper needs to be the star and this pop-up design offers that. The paper flows across both sides of the card and is so easy to make. It is made with the Velvet Meadow designer series paper and the Flowering Meadows stamps from Stampin’ Up.

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

Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Peaceful Pine card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Velvet Meadow designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Flowering Meadow stamp set (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Peaceful Pine Ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Adhesive-backed Dragonflies and Birds
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

For your card base cut a piece of Basic Beige to 4 ¼” x 10” and score at ½”, 2 ½”, 4 ½”, 6 ½” and 8 ½” and then from the ½” side fold up and then the next 3 panels down and the last one up. Cut another piece to 1 ¾” x 4”. From a piece of Peaceful Pine cut four pieces to 1 7/8” x 4 1/8” and two pieces to 1 3/8” x 4 1/8”. Now in the Flowering Meadow designer series paper pack find the piece with the flowers at the top and the bottom and cut one flower edge to 4” high. Then from the right side so that it all flows, cut a piece to 1 ¼”, 1 ¾”, 1 ¾”, 1 ¾” and 1 ¼”.

Take the flower pieces and the small Basic Beige and adhere to all of the Peaceful Pine backgrounds. Then adhere your first 1 3/8” piece on the left panel, next a Basic Beige, and then three more of your floral panels that are 1 7/8” pieces, leaving your ½” panel empty and your last 1 3/8” floral piece.

With the Flowering Meadow stamps set, find the “you always make me smile” greeting and stamp in Peaceful Pine ink along the left edge of the Basic Beige panel going vertically.

Then on the last floral panel to the right take the “just because” greeting stamp and stamp in Peaceful Pine ink along the top. Now on the back side of the ½” piece apply adhesive and adhere to the left side of the last Basic Beige panel, making sure you card lays flat. Then adhere the last floral piece to the panel. Push from the left side to make it pop out and stand. Now to finish ad a few of the adhesive-backed dragonflies to your liking.

I just love this card and it was so easy and is just cheerful.

Velvet Meadow Standing Arches Card

June 28, 2026 No Comments

This Velvet Meadow flocked designer series paper is so pretty and I really wanted to the use the pink paper on the back so this Standing Arches pop-up card was the perfect design to showcase it. The accenting with the Velveteen Assortment pink flocked paper and the Flowering Meadow stamps and dies were the perfect combination.

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

Berry Burst card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Bubble Bath flocked card stock from Velveteen Assortment (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Velvet Meadow designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Flowering Meadow stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Arches dies (Stampin’ Up or Senhai)
Berry Burst ink (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

From a piece of Berry Burst card stock cut out an arch measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” for the back, one to 2 ¾” x 4” for the middle and 1 ¾” x 3” for the front. Then cut a piece to 1 5/8” x 2 ¼” and another to 2 ¼” x 2 ¾”, score each along the 2 ¼” edge at ½”, 1”, 1 ½” and 2”. Fold each section in for both and adhere the ¼” section to the first section to form a box. From white card stock use the 2 ½” x 3 ¾” arch die to cut your back panel and the ½” x 1 7/8” to create your label.

With the Velvet Meadow designer series paper, find the Bubble Bath piece with the white flocking leaves and then the Bubble Bath flowers piece. From the Bubble Bath piece with the white flocking leaves cut out with the 3 7/8” x 5 1/8” arch die. Use the 2 ½” x 3 ¾” arch die to cut out the floral paper. Then take a piece of the Flocked Bubble Bath paper from Velveteen Assortment and cut with the 1 ½” x 2 ¾” arch die.

From a scrap piece of the Bubble Bath with white flocking leaves use the two sprig dies from Flowering Meadow to cut out one of each of the two. From the floral paper use the double flower die to cut out one of the flowers and then hand cut out two leaves from the same paper. Use the small flower dies to cut out three small flowers from a scrap piece of Berry Burst.

Take the largest Berry Burst arch and adhere the white arch to the back and the Bubble Bath with the white flocked leaves to the front. Take the middle side Berry Burst arch and adhere the floral arch piece to it. Take the small Berry Burst arch and adhere the pink flocked piece to it. Now adhere the small square piece to the back of the small arch and the other square piece to the back of the middle piece. Now adhere the back of the middle size square piece to the front of your large arch and then the small square piece to the front of the middle arch.

Now adhere your two sprigs that you cut out to the front left bottom corner of your smallest arch and your three Berry Burst flowers over them to your liking. Take the small white arch label you cut and with your Berry Burst ink stamp the “just because” and adhere the label angling down with the flat end going under your tallest sprig.

For the back panel adhere your double flowers you cut out in the lower left corner and the two leaves where you like slightly under the flowers. Use the Berry Burst ink and stamp the “you always make me smile” greeting in the upper center.

Such a pretty card to let a tell someone you are thinking about them and they make you smile.

Velvet Meadow Diagonal Z-Fold Card

June 24, 2026 No Comments

This large bold paper from the Velvet Meadow designer series paper with the flocking is so beautiful, it can stand alone. Adding the pink velveteen paper for an accent and stamps from the Flowering Meadow stamps and dies, all from Stampin’ Up just made this card shine.

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

Peaceful Pine card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Barely Blush Velveteen card stock (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Velvet Meadow designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Flowering Meadow stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Scalloped Blooms dies (2026 Annual Catalog)
Peaceful Pine ink (Stampin’ Up)
Daffodil Delight ink (Stampin’ Up)
Berry Burst Stampin’ Write Market (retired Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer

This card is all about the cutting, after that it just goes together quickly. From a piece of Peaceful Pine card stock cut a piece to 5 ½” x 11” and from the right-side angle down to 3” and then score from the right high side at 4 ¼ and 8 ½”. Fold into you’re Z-fold with the small front piece folding to the left.

From your white card stock cut the following:

Back panel – 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and 3 ½” x 3 ¾”
Middle panel (front and back) – two pieces to 4 1/8” x 4 3/8”
Front panel – 2 3/8” x 3 3/8”

Now from the Velvet Meadow find the piece with the bright large flowers and the Peaceful Pine background and cut a strip to 5 ¼” x 12”. Then cut into three pieces measuring 4” each. And from the Barely Blush velveteen paper from the Velveteen Assortment Specialty designer series paper cut a piece to 2 ¼” x 3 ¼”.

For the back panel take the floral piece you cut from the right side and the white piece measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and line up and cut the angle to match your back panel. There are many ways to cut your angles to match, I tend to align the floral on the white and move up from the bottom 1/8” more and then align the white on the Peaceful Pine and again move up 1/8” more and then line up the diagonal on my cutter and cut them, but you can mark them and cut them that way or what works for you. Then take one of the white pieces for the middle panel and the middle floral piece and cut that diagonally. Then take the other white piece for the middle panel and the third floral piece, but you will cut the opposite angle as this goes on the back side of your middle panel so that it shows from the front. Then take the small white piece and the Barely Blush velveteen and do the same. Now adhere them all down to their appropriate panels.

With a piece of scrap white card stock and the Flowering Meadow stamp set find the daisy flower. Ink the stem part of the stamp in Peaceful Pine ink and then use your Berry Burst Stampin’ Write marker to ink the flower and stamp on your white card stock. Then find the large floral center stamp and stamp in Daffodil Delight ink. Use the dies to cut out both. Now take the “thanks” greeting stamp and stamp in Peaceful Pine ink and use the small label die from the Scalloped Blooms dies to cut out your label. Adhere your label to the front panel on your Barely Blush velveteen and then adhere the flower center to your daisy and then the flower stem over the straight left side of your label.

For the inside take your last piece of white card stock you cut and angle it to the same angle, since it is smaller you can use any of the angles. Adhere to your back panel center on three-sided from the bottom, making sure it will be covered when you close your card. Use the Peaceful Pine ink and stamp the “you always make me smile” greeting.

Such a bright and beautiful card to say thanks.

Use an arch die measuring about 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” to cut four pieces from Basic Beige card stock. Then use an arch die measuring about 3 7/8” x 5 1/8” and cut three panels from the floral piece from the Velvet Meadows designer series paper pack. Adhere each of the floral arch pieces to the Basic Beige arches, keeping them in order so they flow well. Adhere each of your arch pieces to your Peaceful Pine base, leaving about an 1/8” around the three sides for each panel.

Use your Peaceful Pine Ink and the “happy birthday” stamp from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set and stamp on the upper right of your front panel. With the Adhesive-backed Dragonflies and Birds embellishments and adhere six of the dragonflies, two per panel around.

For the back of your card adhere the fourth arch, aligning with the one on the front. Use the Peaceful Pine ink and stamp the”wishing you a day of relaxation, happiness, and love” greeting on the upper center. You could also adhere a few dragonflies here as well, I didn’t think about it until now so I may go back and do that.

What a lovely birthday card for any female in your life.

The flocked paper from the Velvet Meadow designer series paper from Stampin’ Up is so pretty, and this muted piece is my favorite piece so I had to find a card design that would showcase it. This popup card with a simple little daisy and tag just made it perfect.

1 3/8” x 2 ¾” for the back label

Adhere two of the 7/8” wide floral flocked pieces to each outside panel.

Adhere together and then use mini pop dots to adhere the flower to the left side of your center panel. In Cloud Cover ink stamp the “hello” greeting from the Fabulous Sayings stamp set. Use the tag die from Scalloped Blooms dies to cut out and then with two pieces of linen thread folded in half to feed through the hole and then feed the ends through the loop, then trim.

Velvet Meadow Floral Lineup Card

June 9, 2026 No Comments

This cute card uses the Velvet Meadow designer series paper with the white flocking and the dies from Flowering Meadow and stamps and dies from Scalloped Blooms, all from Stampin’ Up. I used the die to cut out the flowers for the side from the paper instead of trying to color them.

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

Peaceful Pine card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Velvet Meadow designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Flowering Meadow dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Scalloped Blooms stamps and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Peaceful Pine ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

From a piece of Basic Beige card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½”, then fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. From a piece of Peaceful Pine cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 5”. With the Velvet Meadow designer series paper find the Basic Beige piece with the pink flowers and then the Basic Beige slightly textured looking paper. From the Basic Beige textured looking paper cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. Then with the pink floral paper cut a piece to 2 ½” x 4 ¾”.

Take the double flower die from the Flowering Meadow dies and die cut 5 of the double pink flowers from some of the extra pink floral paper, or you can stamp and color them if you prefer not to cut up your paper. Then cut 7 of the leaves from the paper with a pair of scissors, or you can use the three leaf due and cut some out of Peaceful Pine card stock and cut them up.

Adhere the floral piece measuring 2 ½” x 4 ¾” to the Peaceful Pine card stock piece. Now adhere three of your double cut flowers to the back on the right side, starting to adhere one in the center and then the other two to the top and bottom. Adhere four of the leaves to the back of the flowers as desired. From a scrap piece of Basic Beige use the longer label die with the scallops on the right end to cut out a label. Use Peaceful Pine ink to stamp the “you’re a blessing to me” greeting to the right side of your label. Take one of the double cut flowers and a pair of scissors to cut the flowers apart and use the full flower to adhere to the left end of your label and use one of the cut-out leaves with it.

Use pop dots to adhere the large piece with your flowers to the front of your card base. Then use more pop dots to adhere the label to the lower portion of your floral paper, about ½” up from the Peaceful Pine border with the right scalloped side hanging over.

For the inside of your card adhere your last double flowers to the lower left corner of the back panel along with the two remaining leaves. Use Peaceful Pine ink to stamp the “thank you” greeting in the upper center of the back panel of the inside of your card.

A lovely card to thank someone special to you who helps when you really need it.

Velvet Meadow Z-Fold Panel Card

June 5, 2026 No Comments

I finally got a chance to play with the Velvet Meadows designer series paper and Flowering Meadow stamps and dies set from Stampin’ Up. I use it to make this beautiful Z-Fold Panel card, or at least that is what I am calling it. This floral paper which has some bright colors that stand out but also muted colors as well along with flocking on some of the white flowers, I really like it and it was perfect for this card design.

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

Cloud Cover card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Bubble Bath card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Velvet Meadow designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
ink (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

From a piece of Cloud Cover card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. From some Bubble Bath card stock cut a piece to 4 ¾” x 10 ½” and score at 3 ½” and 7”, then fold the center panel to the right and the top panel to the left forming your z-fold. From white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” for the front of your Cloud Cover base. Then three pieces measuring 3 3/8” x 4 5/8”, one to 2 ¾” x 4” and one to 1 34” x 2 ¼”. From the Velvet Meadow designer series paper pack find the Cloud Cover piece that has a light design and then the full floral piece. With the Cloud Cover piece cut one to 4” x 5 ¼” and one to 1 5/8” x 2”. Cut three of the floral paper to 3 ¼” x 4 ½” and keep in order so it flows when card is open.

Take your Cloud Cover card base and adhere the white piece measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” to the front of it, and then the Cloud Cover designer series paper piece measuring 4” x 5 ¼” to that. Now adhere the back right panel of the z-fold Bubble Bath piece to the center of the card base. Adhere the three white pieces to each panel of your pink z-fold. Then one of each of the floral pieces to the front of each of the white pieces. Adhere the white piece measuring 2 ¾” x 4” over the back floral piece of your card base.

From a scrap piece of Cloud Cover use the square label with scallop edge from the Scalloped Blooms dies. Adhere the white piece and then the small Cloud Cover designer series paper piece. Use Peaceful Pine ink to stamp the 3-flower stems (I did stamp off so they were not so dark), Daffodil Delight ink to stamp the three flowers and Berry Burst ink (stamped off) for the flower centers and use the dies to cut them out. Build the flower to the left side of your label. Use the tag die from the Scalloped Blooms dies and cut out a white tag, stamp the “thanks” stamp from the Flowering Meadows and stamp off and then stamp on the label. Then take a piece of Peaceful Pine Bordered Ribbon, feed it through the whole of your tag folded half and use a piece of white twine to wrap around the ribbon and tie into a bow. Adhere the tag slightly over your flowers to the right side of your label. Adhere the label to the front of your card in the lower center of the front panel.

Take the “you always make me smile” stamp from the Flowering Meadows stamp set and stamp (stamped off) in Peaceful Pine ink along the left side of your inside label.

What a beautiful card to tell someone they are special to you.
