Framed Florets Stepper Card

February 19, 2026 No Comments

I was working on cleaning up my craft room and found a few cards that were cut but never put together. This stepper card base was one of them, so I made this card which I am loving with this Fitting Florets designer series paper from Stampin’ Up. I used the Framed Florets stamps with it.

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

Night of Navy card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Balmy Blue card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Fitting Florets designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Framed Florets stamp set and dies (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Night of Navy ink (Stampin’ Up)
Moody Palate Glossy Dots (January 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Scoring board or scoring blade for trimmer
Adhesive of choice

From a piece of Night of Navy card stock cut a piece to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 3 ¼”, 6 ½” and 7 ½” and fold the 3 ¼” to the 3 ¼” and then the 2” end up and then the last 1” down for form your step. Cut another piece to 3” x 8 ½” and score at 4 ¼” and old in half. Now take your Balmy Blue card stock and cut a piece to 3 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one to 2 7/8” x 4 1/8” and a third piece to 7/8” x 5 3/8”. From your white card stock cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 4” and one to 2 7/8” x 5”. With the Fitting Florets designer series paper find the Night of Navy piece with the Balmy Blue Flowers and cut a piece to 3” x 5 3/8”, one to 1 5/8” x 2 5/8” and a third piece to ¾” x 5 3/8”.

Take your large piece of Balmy Blue and adhere to the front of your back step and then the larger floral piece to that. Adhere the strip of Balmy Blue to the front of your small step and then the floral strip to that. Now take your 3” folded piece of Night of Navy and adhere to the front of your small step, centered, and then adhere to the back of your large step. Adhere the medium piece of Balmy Blue to the front of that.

Take the small piece of white and adhere the small floral piece to the bottom portion of the white leaving a small edge around three sides. Then stamp the “Wishes for a Beautiful Birthday” greeting from the Framed Florets stamp set in Night of Navy ink in the top portion. Adhere this to the front of your Balmy Blue. Add a few Moody Palate Glossy Dots around the white for decoration.

Take your floral die from the Framed Florets and cut out two of the flowers from the designer series paper, or stamp two in Balmy Blue ink and cut them out. Adhere to the lower left corner of your piece of white for the inside of your card. Take the “For a special person on a special day” stamp and stamp in Night of Navy ink. Adhere your white piece to the last piece of Balmy Blue and adhere that to the inside of your card.

What a lovely birthday card for anyone special in your life.

Framed Florets Bi-Fold Card

December 23, 2025 No Comments

This bi-fold card made with Fitting Florets designer series paper from Stampin’ Up turned out really cute. I actually had two pre-cut and scored stepper card cut but didn’t want to make two so I used it to make this bi-fold card. It used the Framed Florets stamps and dies as well.

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

Night of Navy card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Balmy Blue card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Fitting Florets designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Framed Florets stamp set and dies (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Pre-cut label (unknown Stampin’ Up)
Night of Navy ink (Stampin’ Up)
Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

From a piece of Night of Navy card stock, cut a card base to 5 ½ x 6 ½ and fold in half to 3 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut another piece to 3” x 6 ½” and fold in half to 3” x 3 ¼”. From the Balmy Blue card stock cut a piece to 2 7/8” x 3 1/8” and another to 3 1/8” x 5 1/8”. With a piece of white card stock cut a piece for the inside to 2 7/8” x 3 1/8”.

Grab your Fitting Florets designer series paper pack and find the piece of Night of Navy with the Balmy Blue sprigs and pink berries. Cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 3” and two pieces to 3” x 5 ¼” (there is a bit of a direction to this paper so you may want to pay attention). Also find the piece that has the large floral groups on it and find the pink set and cut out with the die.

Take the card base measuring 3 ¼” x 5 ½” and adhere one of the larger pieces of Balmy Blue to the front and then one of the larger pieces of the designer series paper. Do the same for the inside back. Then take your Night of Navy piece that you folded to 3” x 3 ¼” and adhere the Balmy Blue to the front and then the designer series paper piece, and adhere the white piece to the back of the inside.

Take your small folded piece and put glue on 2” of the back and adhere to the inside of your larger piece in the center leaving 1” hanging off and 1” from the inside edge, making your card measure 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.

Now take the pre-cut label (or any other label that works) and stamp the “Celebrate!” greeting angled on your label in Night of Navy ink and adhere with pop dots toward the upper left corner of your small front section. Adhere the flower you die cut with po dots to the lower right corner, over the lower part of your label. Add a few of the Strawberry Slush and Pretty In Pink Gems to decorate.

For the inside stamp the “Wishes for a beautiful birthday” greeting in Night of Navy ink.

There is an adorable birthday card for anyone in your life.

Nests of Winter Warbler Card

March 18, 2025 No Comments

This is a fun card and pretty easy and straight forward to make. I have mentioned before but I love my birds, so this paper is one of my favorites. I feed the birds daily and I get a warbler every once in a while, but that is maybe once a year if I am lucky that I get to see one so at least I can make a card with them on it.

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

Daffodil Delight card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Blueberry Bushel card stock (Stampin’s Up)
White card stock
Nests of Winter designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder (Stampin’ Up)
Framed Florets stamp set
Blueberry Bushel ink (Stampin’ Up)
Daffodil Delight ink (Stampin’ Up)
Blue cord
Sponge
Paper trimmer
Scissors
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With your Daffodil Delight card stock, cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Take your Blueberry Bushel card stock and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and cut a piece to 1 ½” x 1 ¾” for the label. Now with your white card stock cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 5” and another for the inside of your card to 4” x 5 ¼ inch and one for the label to 1 3/8” x 1 5/8”. Get your Nest of Winter designers series paper pack and find the paper that has the birds on it and cut out one of the warblers, which is the blue and yellow bird.

Take the Birch Wood embossing folder and your white piece measuring 3 ¾” x 5” and emboss. Take your Daffodil Delight ink and your sponge and sponge all four edges of your embossed white piece. With your blue cord, tie a piece around the white embossed piece and tie into a knot or bow. Adhere that to the Blueberry Bushel piece cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and then adhere that to the front of your card base. Take the bird you cut out and adhere to the front of your card toward the upper left corner.

With your Framed Florets stamp set find the “For a special person for a special friend” greeting and the Blueberry Bushel ink and stamp on the small piece of white you cut earlier. Adhere that to the small piece of Bluberry Bushel you cut and adhere that to the lower right corner of the front of your card.

Take the last piece of white you cut for the inside of your card and with the “Wishes for a beautiful birthday” greeting stamp and your Blueberry Bushel ink stamp for your inside greeting. Then with your Blueberry Bushel ink and your sponge, sponge all four edges and adhere that to the inside of your card.

That is your Nests of Winter Warbler card and a great birthday card for anyone.

Countryside Inn Foxy Tri-Fold Card

February 28, 2025 No Comments

This elegant foxy tri-fold card made with the Countryside Inn designer series paper from Stampin’ Up is just adorable and easy to make.

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

Night of Navy card stock
Balmy Blue card stock
White card stock
Countryside Inn designer series paper
Three stacked Oblong Nested dies
Sizzix Forest Friends (not sure on the name) dies
Small floral dies
Framed Florets stamps
Night of Navy ink
Embellishments to decorate the center of the flowers
Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

With the Night of Navy card stock cut a piece to 3” x 9” and another to 3” x 4 ¼”. Score the 3” x 9” piece at 4 ¼” and at 8 ½”. Fold the 9” piece in half and then fold the half inch piece in the opposite direction. Put adhesive on the ½” piece and adhere the 3” x 4 ¼” piece to make a z-fold. Find the blue striped piece from the Countryside Inn designer series paper pack. Cut three pieces to 2 ¾” x 4” and adhere to each panel of the z-folded card base.

With your Night of Navy card stock die cut three of the largest panels which are about 4 ½” long. In the Countryside Inn designer series paper pack find the paper that has the foxes on it, use the middle size die or next size down to cut three of these. With White card stock us the next size down cut two. Cut out one each of the fox and the racoon (which looks like a fox) with Night of Navy card stock and Balmy Blue card stock and adhere the pieces together. For the racoon version, just take the Balmy Blue tail and cut it with a jagged edge instead of the double stripes for the racoon. With Night of Navy, Balmy Blue and White card stock scraps cut some flowers for decoration.

With the two white oblong octagons, Night of Navy ink and the “wishes for a beautiful birthday” and stamp that on one toward the top, then with the “for a special person on a special day” stamp that onto the other white one toward the top as well.

Now take all the oblong octagon pieces and adhere the three fox designer series paper to the three Night of Navy pieces. Add the two white ones to two of the pieces. Take the back one with the “for a special person on a special day” and put adhesive slightly less than half way up from the bottom and adhere to the back panel. You want it to measure 5 ½” in total so that it is the proper size for an envelope. Put adhesive about 1/3 of the way up for the piece that doesn’t have a white panel, line it up face down on the back one and fold the middle panel down so that they line up perfectly. Now put adhesive on the front panel about 1/3 of the way up and with the card folded, align with the other panels so that when the card is folded it should only show the front panel.

This now gives you the Countryside Inn Foxy tri-fold card with this beautiful fox paper in these elegant blues.
