Painterly Pears Green Themed Friend Card

No Comments

This layered card turned out so cute, I still am in love with this Painterly Pears designer series paper and the Perfectly Pears stamp and dies set from Stampin’ Up. 

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

  • Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Painterly Pears designer series paper (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Perfectly Pears stamp set and dies (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Traditional Label Dies (August 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Corner rounder punch
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scissors
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

With a piece of Old Olive card stock cut your card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Cut another piece to 2 ¼” x 4 5/8”.  From a piece of white card stock cut a piece for the inside of your card to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From the Painterly Pears designer series paper find the Old Olive Leaf piece and cut to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From the white paper with pear edges cut one of the edge pieces to 2” x 4 3/8”.  Use your corner rounder punch to round the four corners of each piece you just cut, including your card base. 

From some of the spare pear paper cut out one of the single reddish pears and one of the green double pears with a pair of scissors.  From a spare piece of white card stock stamp “A good friend is a gift” from the Perfectly Pears stamp set and stamp in Old Olive ink  Use the smaller decorative oval from Traditional Label dies to cut out the stamped white piece and the larger oval to cut out a piece of Old Olive card stock and also one of the branches with leaves dies.   

Adhere your green leaf designer series paper piece to the front of your card base.  Then adhere your white pear designer series paper piece to the Old Olive piece and adhere to the front of your card about ½” down from the top and about ¾” in from the left.  Then adhere your white oval label to the green one.  Tear up the sections of the leaves you cut and adhere around the back of your label for decoration, leaving one section to adhere to the lower right corner of your label.  Adhere your reddish pear you cut out with those last leaves in the lower right corner of the label.  Now adhere your label slightly below the middle on the right side of the front of your card. 

On the inside of your card adhere your white piece of card stock to the inside and adhere the double green pears you cut out to the lower left corner of the white piece.  Use the “So grateful” greeting from the Soft Seedlings stamp set and stamp on the upper center of the inside of your card in Old Olive ink.

I think this card is just so lovely, anyone would be so thrilled to receive it in the mail letting them know you are grateful for their friendship.

Sweeter With You Strawberry Hello Card

No Comments

I am loving this July 2025 Sweeter With You Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin’ Up.  This kit is all based around strawberries for the season and has a bunch of adorable punch-outs to build cards with included instructions or to make up your own.  I am really having fun making cards and tags with it.

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

  • July 2025 Sweeter With You Paper Pumpkin Kit (Stampin’ Up)
  • Poppy Parade or Sweet Sorbet card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Poppy Parade or Sweet Sorbet ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring Board or blade for trimmer
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice (Some included in kit)
  • Pop dots (Included in kit)

With your Poppy Parade (or Sweet Sorbet) card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼” and 6 3/8” and fold into a Z.  From the kit find the pink card stock with the red dots and cut two pieces to 2” x 5 3/8” each.  Adhere one to the small front of your Z.  Adhere the other to the right side of the back of your card lining them up. 

From the cut-outs in the Sweeter With You kit, find one of the rectangle scallop pieces, one of the pre-cut shapes to stamp “Hello, Friend” greeting, three of the white blossoms, one of the small strawberries and one of the stems with strawberries.  Adhere the left half of the stem with strawberries to the front of your card, leaving the right half hanging off over the back pink with dots paper.  Add the three flowers around on the stem piece for decoration. 

Take the “Hello, Friend” greeting stamp from the Sweeter With You stamp set and your Poppy Parade or Sweet Sorbet ink and stamp on the cut-out shape for it.  Acdhere the left side Hello portion with pop dots below the stem with strawberries on the front of your card. 

Take your scallop cut-out and your “Life is Sweeter with you” greeting stamp from the same Sweeter With You stamp set and stamp in the Poppy Parade or Sweet Sorbet ink.  Adhere the small strawberry to the lower left of it and adhere under the front with the right scallop showing through the stem to see when folded. 

What a lovely way to tell a friend you care.
