Wildflower Birthday Tent Pop-Up Card

April 25, 2025 No Comments

This card is so fun and it’s easy to make and is a great birthday card for anyone.

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

Pool Party card stock
White card stock
Wildflower Birthday specialty designer series paper
Delightful Wishes stamp and die set
A die for the window
A die with a scalloped or decorative edge
Pool Party ink
Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop-Dots

With the Pool Party card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 11” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut another piece to 3” x 4 ¼” and score it at every half inch and accordion fold it. Cut a piece of white card stock to 4” x 5 ¼”. Get a piece of the cake designer series paper from the Wildflower Birthday pack and cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”. Also get one of the balloon cutouts from the Wildflower Birthday pack.

Take your card base and the two pieces of cut cake paper. Adhere one of the cake pieces to the front of the card and take the second piece and flip it over to the striped side and adhere that to the inside of the card.

Get your die to cut out the front window of the card, make sure it is sized to show the balloons through it and cut it out. Take a scalloped or decorative die and cut a piece long enough to cover your front cut out and about 2” high and score at ½” from the top and fold. Adhere the half inch portion to the top edge of the striped designer series paper. Align your balloons in the window and adhere to the white folded piece. Trim the bottom of the ballons to the bottom of the striped paper. Now take your according piece and adhere one side to the back bottom of your card with the accordion folds pointing up. Adhere the bottom of your balloons to the front of the middle accordion fold so that it will be at the middle level. Then adhere the front of the accordion fold piece to the back of the front flap of the card.

Take a spare piece of white card stock and your Pool Party ink and stamp the “wishing” stamp from the Delightful Wishes stamp set and use the wishing die to cut it out. Then stamp the “you a happy birthday” and use the long label die to cut it out. Adhere the “wishing” across the front of your opening angled up on the right. Adhere the “you a happy birthday” across the bottom of your window.

Take the white piece you cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the back of the card. Add a few more decorative cut outs from the Wildflower Birthday designer series paper pack, I used one of the pink balloons and the small flowers.

I love this card, mainly as I love setting my cards out and the cards that are vertically cut tend to not stay standing very well, but the accordion bottom fixes that. So cute as well.

Irresistible Blooms Bridge Tower Card

April 21, 2025 No Comments

This is the first time I have made a tower card and it took me a little bit of playing. My instructions will be correct, though my card is a half an inch too long to fit into a standard envelope. I haven’t use the Irresistible Blooms suite in a while and I forgot how beautiful the paper is.

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

Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Hello, Irresistible designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Irresistible Blooms dies (Stampin’ Up)
Decaled Circle dies (Stampin’ Up)
Daffodil Delight ink (Stampin’ Up)
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With the Petal Pink card stock cut two pieces 4 ¼” x 4 ½”, and score along the 4 ½” side at 1”, 2”, 3”, 4” for your towers. Cut another piece to 3” x 4 ¼” scored at ½” and 2 ½” for the center.

From the Hello, Irresistible designer series paper pack, find the piece that has the flowers on the front you can cut out with dies that is the lighter piece with the petal pink and daffodil delight colors and on the back has the same colors with a triangle design. Then also a piece that is just the Petal Pink and Daffodil Delight and then also a piece with white leaf designs.

With one piece on the triangle side cut 6 pieces to ¾” x 4”. With the plain Petal Pink and Daffodil Delight piece cut two pieces to 2 ¼” x 4”.

Now take your two Decaled Circle dies, the larger should be about 3 ½” or so and then the next smaller one. With the larger cut two Petal Pink and with the smaller one cut one with the white leaf designer series paper piece and one from white card stock. Also use the three decorative leaf dies and cut 5 different leaves. Take the two flower dies and cut out one large flower from the designer series paper and two of the smaller size.

Now let’s start assembling. Take the two pieces of Petal Pink cut to 4 ¼” x 4 ½” scored and your 6 pieces of designer series paper with the triangles and adhere three to one piece in the three 1” sections from the ½” side and then put adhesive on the ½” section and form your tower. Do the same with the other tower.

Take the Petal Pink piece you cut for the center and adhere the two pieces of designer series paper to each side. Put adhesive on both ½” side and adhere each tower, centering your center on each tower. Take one of your Petal Pink Decaled Circles and the circle with the white leaves and adhere to the Petal Pink circle, making sure the leaves don’t hang down too far). Take the one large flower and one of the small flowers you cut and with pop dots adhere to the bottom of the circle and adhere three leaves for decoration.

With the Irresistible Bloom stamp set and the Daffodil Delight ink stamp on a spare piece of white stamp the “Hello” greeting and use an appropriate size label die to cut it out. Use pop dots to adhere to your Decaled Circle above the flowers. Put some adhesive on the center of both of your towers and fold down so it is lying flat and adhere your decaled circle with the flowers at the bottom.

Now take your second Decaled Petal Pink circle and the white one and adhere together. With the Irresistible Blooms stamp set and the Daffodil Delight ink stamp the “I Couldn’t be happier to have you as my friend” greeting. Take the second small flower and adhere with pop dots and then add the two leaves.

You now have a lovely card to send to a friend to let them know you are thinking of them.

Mixed Floral Z-Fold Pop-Up Card

April 1, 2025 No Comments

This is a z-fold card, but with a pop-up twist, so there is a middle layer that pops up when you start to open the card. I love the colors, I saw someone else use them for a card so I decided to use the colors to make this style card.

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

Pretty in Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Mixed Floral designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Jet Black Staz-On ink

- Lemon Lolly Dark
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

With the Pretty in Pink card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” then score at 2 1/8 and 4 ¼” and fold the card in half and the fold the front quarter forward to form your z-fold. Cut another piece with the Pretty in Pink to 2 ¾” x 4 ¼”. With your white card stock cut a piece to 2” x 4 1/8”, one to 4 3/8” x 4 5/8” and a third piece to 2 5/8” x 4 1/8” and lastly one to 2 ½” x 3” scored at ½”, 1 ¼” and 2”. With the black floral designer series paper from the Mixed Floral designer series paper pack. Cut a piece to 4 x 5 ¼” and a second to 1 7/8” x 4”.

Take the coneflower stamp from the Mixed Florals set and the Jet Black Staz-On ink and stamp on to a spare piece of white card stock. Color the leaves with the Mint Macaroon dark Stampin’ Blends, the dainty flowers and large flower centers with the Lemon Lolly light and dark Stampin’ Blends and the large flowers with the light and dark Pretty in Pink Stampin Blends. With the white piece measuring 2 5/8” x 4 1/8” and stamps from the Mixed Labels stamp set stamp the dainty flower stamp once or twice in the lower left corner and the “I’m so glad we’re friends” greeting in the upper left corner.

Now let’s assemble the card. Adhere the white piece of card stock measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” to the back of the card, and the black floral piece measuring 4” x 5 ¼” to the white card stock piece.

With the 2 ½” x 3” scored piece, fold into a square. Put adhesive on the top of the right side of ½” part. Fold in half with the glue half down, line up with the middle fold so it will lay flat with card closed. The put adhesive on the upper ½” section and fold card onto it again making sure it all lays flat. Take the Pretty in Pink piece and adhere your stamped white piece to it. Put adhesive on the top of your box piece and adhere this greeting piece to it centered.

Take the last white piece and adhere the black floral piece to that and adhere to the front of the card. Glue your large colored flowers to the front with it partially hanging of toward the center and making sure your greeting is covered.

That gives you the pop-up z-fold card in these lovely pops of pink with the black background.

Love Cats Circle Flap Card

March 30, 2025 No Comments

Anyone who knows me knows I love cats, and I have been trying to design this card in my head for a while as I wanted to do a layered card but that let you see all the cats even when the card was closed. I finally sat down and played with it yesterday and this was the result, and I was really happy with it.

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

White card stock
Copper Clay Stripe and Heart designer series paper (Stampin’ Up 2023-24 In Color)
Love Cats stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Two circle dies
Copper Clay ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Basic Black Ink (Stampin’ Up)
Copper Clay Stampin’ Blends or Stampin’ Marker (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With your Copper Clay card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ¼” and score at 1 ¾”, 2 ¾”, 4 ¼” and 5 ¼”. With your white card stock cut three pieces to 2 5/8” x 5 1/8”. With the striped designer series paper cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 3”. With the heart copper clay designer series paper cut two to 2 ¾” x 5 3/8”.

Take your three pieces of white card stock you cut, the Love Cats stamps and the Basic Black ink. Stamp the hanging cat on one piece at the top. With the cat flipped, stamp that in the lower right corner of the second piece. On the third piece stamp the laying cat about 2 ¼” (top of back) down. With the laying cat piece take scissors and cut the bottom out below the ledge so the paws and tail hanging off the ledge are cut out.

Take the hanging cat layer and adhere it to one of the heart pieces of paper. With the larger circle die cut out a partial circle at the bottom to show the flipped cat. Adhere this to the middle section of your card base. For the top layer, alight the striped piece where it would go on the top layer of your card base and flip upside down and with a pencil draw on the back side of the striped paper where the circle needs to be and then use that to line the circle die up and cut that circle out. Now adhere the white upper portion with the laying cat to the top of that making sure it measures a height of 5 3/8”. Lay your larger circle die upside down over the hanging cat, align your top layer where it would adhere on the top level and find where to cut the upper partial circle out of the top layer and cut out.

Now for the lower layer with the flipped cat, take both circle dies and align as above in the upper left corner, making sure you are leaving enough room for the inside circle to stamp the “I love hanging out with you” greeting, and cut out both circles together. Adhere the lower part with the cat onto your last heart designer series paper piece. Then align your upper corner and adhere that. With the “I love hanging out with you” greeting and your Copper Clay ink, stamp your greeting. Adhere this to the back or your card base. With the Copper Clay marker color in the open hearts on each of your stamped images.

You now have the Love Cats flap card to give so someone you love spending time with. I am absolutely in love with this card and so happy with how it turned out after spending so much time trying to figure it out in my head.

March 27, 2025 No Comments

The fun and easy Hexagon card is just adorable. I love this striped piece of paper from the Mixed Medial Florals designer series paper pack from Stampin’ Up.

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

Peach Pie card stock
White card stock
Mixed Media Florals Stamp Set

Now let’s get our hexagon edges created. On the 4 ¼” ends of your Peach Pie card base lightly mark the center with a pencil and then with a triangle die (mine are triangle nested dies from InLove Arts) align the point to that center and make it look even at each point on your edges then cut in about an inch, you don’t want to go too far or you will cut the rest of the triangle into your card. Repeat on the other end. If you don’t have a triangle die you can just cut to your center mark with scissors.

On both of your white pieces turn upside down and lay a cut end of your card base on, push out toward one end about ¼” and with your pencil draw the same shape onto you white then push out to the other end and do the same, cut those ends. Then with your white cut piece do the same to your Peach Pie striped piece. Now adhere the white to the front of your Peach Pie card base and the striped piece to the front of that.

With a scrap piece of your Peach Pie card stock cut out the floral label die from the Sentimntal Park dies retired from Stampin’ Up and cut a label. With a scrap piece of White card stock cut the insert label. Insert your white label into your Peach Pie floral label and adhere. Take your With You In Mind stamps from Stampin’ Up and use the “Best Wishes” greeting and your Peach Pie ink and stamp “Best Wishes” on your label. Adhere your label, centered, on the front of your card.

Now take your second white piece and adhere inside of your card. With a scrap piece of Peach Pie card stock cut another floral label and cut off the floral ends and use to decorate each side point of your card as shown below.

That is it, you have made this cute and easy hexagon card.

March 24, 2025 No Comments

I have been wanting to make one of these Side Tower pop up card but it took me a bit to figure out what I wanted to use the make it and then I remembered the vase and flower dies I got from the Spellbinders Advent Calendar 2024 and decided that would be perfect for this card along with the Countryside Inn designer series paper would go perfect with it. I received the Spellbinders Advent Calendar from one of my close friends and it was so much fun and there were so many wonderful dies, sequins, stamps and stencils (24 days worth), I had a blast opening it each morning.

Lovely Garden Step Card

March 22, 2025 No Comments

Lovely Garden Step Card

I made this card up in my mind this morning with this fun step card design using the Lovely Garden designer series paper. I had to cut three before I figured out the measurements, but I got there in the end and was really happy with it.

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

Fresh Fresia card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Boho Blue card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Lovely Garden designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Happy Birthday Label dies (Spellbinders Advent Calendar 2024)
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Scissor
Adhesive of choice

The base takes a bit of measuring, cutting and scoring, but once you are done with that it is really easy to put together. Take your Fresh Fresia and cut a card base of 5 ½” x 7 ¾”. Now the tricky part, score on the long edge at 3” all the way across and then at 5 7/8 going in only about 1 ¼” and then at 6 ¾” only going in 1 ¼”. Then the same at the last 1 ¼” at those 5 7/8” and 6 ¾”. Now with your paper cutter cut 1 ¼” in from the center score and stopping at the 1” score. Do the same on the other side. Then with your center panel cut ½” down from the center score toward the scored steps so the rest of your center panel is free. Now fold the bottom 1” down to the front, fold the next one down to create your step. Fold your card into the final shape, so your step is folded in and the center panel is now up above your base card. Lift the center panel and put glue on the ½” section in the center and fold your center panel down onto it.

With your Boho Blue card stock cut the following:

Two pieces to 1 1/8” x 2 ¾” for the sides
One piece to 7/8” x 5 3/8” for the bottom step
One to 2 7/8” x 4 1/8” for the center panel
One to 2 7/8” x 5 3/8” for the inside

With the white card stock cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼”.

From your Lovely Garden designer series paper pack find the Fresh Fresia piece with the little flowers on it and the blue piece with the medium size purple flowers. With the Fresh Fresia with the little flowers, cut two pieces to 1” x 2 5/8” and one to ¾” x 5 ¼” (make sure you are paying attention to the direction of the design). From the medium blue floral paper cut a piece for your center panel to 2 ¾” x 4”.

Adhere the Fresh Fresia designer series paper measuring ¾” x 5 1/4” to the Boho Blue strip measuring 7/8” x 5 3/8” and adhere that to the front of the step. Take the two pieces of Boho Blue measuring 1 1/8” x 2 ¾” and adhere the two purple pieces measuring 1” x 2 5/8” to the blue and then adhere on of each to each side of the card.

Take the medium floral piece cut for the center panel and the blue piece cut for here and adhere the floral piece to the blue and then to the center panel.

Now adhere the white card stock piece and the Boho Blue piece cut for the inside and then adhere the inside of your card. Take a scrap section of the blue with medium purple flowers and cut out two flowers and two leaves for each side of the front of the step for decoration and one full flower with a leaf and one of the buds for the inside. Adhere each for decoration. With a scrap piece of the Fresh Fresia card stock and your happy birthday die and matching label die and cut your happy birthday label and adhere to the front.

That creates this lovely floral step happy birthday card.

Mixed Floral Angled Z-Fold Card

March 20, 2025 No Comments

It has taken me a long time to come up with a card design I am happy with for this stamp set, but I am really happy with what I finally came up with. And of course a Z-fold card is where I landed, but the angled Z-fold, which I haven’t made of like this for a while.

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

Daffodil Delight card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Soft Sea Foam (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Delightful Wishes designer series paper
Mixed Floral stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
Magnolia Mood (Stampin’ Up)
Jet Black StazOn ink
Light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’ Up)
Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin Blends (Stampin’ Up)
Dark Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’ Up)
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Scissors
Adhesive of choice

Take a piece of Daffodil Delight card stock and cut to 5 ½” x 11” and then on your paper trimmer line the left edge at the 5 ½” edge and then move the right end up so it is at 3 ½” and cut to get your angle. With your straight bottom edge of your card base so starting at the long edge, score at 4 ¼” and at 7 5/8”, folding the middle to the right and the top panel to the left to form your Z-fold.

With the polka dot designer series paper from the Delightful Wishes paper pack, cut a piece to 5 ¼” x 11” and cut the same angle with 5 ¼” at the left end and 3 ¼” on the right edge. Cut from the small edge for your front panel to 3 1/8” wide, then cut off a ¼” and cut another piece 3 1/8” wide for the middle panel and then cut off a ¼” and cut your back panel to 4” wide. Take the middle panel and cut another going the opposite direction out of the polka dot paper and one the same direction from a piece of white card stock.

Take your card base and your small panel for the front and adhere. Then adhere your large panel to the back panel. Adhere the middle panel to the middle panel when the card is fully open, and the opposite direct one goes on the back side of the middle panel so when the card it closed it has the same decorative paper.

With your remaining piece of angled white card stock with the highest part of your angle to the left. With the Magnolia Mood “Happy Birrthday” greeting stamp and your Jet Black StazOn stamp the greeting. Adhere this to the back panel of your card aligning to the left side and aligning the bottom so it doesn’t show when your card is closed.

With your large tulip stamp from Mixed Florals and your Jet Black StazOn Ink stamp the design and then stamp the right half again for the inside. Color the leaves of both with the Dark Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends, color the tulips with the Light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends, highlight with the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends if you would like, and color the little flowers with the Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. Use the Mixed Florals dies to cut out the full image and also the partial. Then take a pair of scissors and trim down the partial one along the large leave between the two tulips to the right so you just get the one tulip.

Then with your Soft Sea Foam card stock cut two of the large leaves with the die from Mixed Florals. Adhere the to leaf cut outs to the front of your card with the one toward the right hanging over the edge a bit and both hanging over the top, but not higher than your 5 ½” card height. Now adhere the full size colored tulip cut-out to the front centered between the two leaf pieces. Take the small cut out and adhere that to the inside panel to the right aligned along the side of you white panel but to the right edge so it shows with the full size one when closed.

Now that I finally came up with a design, I am happy with I really like this card and I hope you do as well.

Black and white are my favorite colors, so I love this Botanical Textures designer series paper from Stampin’ Up. I also used the new Fancy Boader Dies which are really cute, as well with both being part of the Stampin’ Up Online Exclusives starting in March 2025.

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

Basic Black card stock
White card stock
Botanical Textures designer series paper
Memorable Blooms stamp set and dies (leaf die)
Fancy Border Dies
Two nested stitched oval dies
Basic Black ink
Black lace
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With your Basic Black card stock cut a card base of 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 1/4 “ x 5 ½”. Cut two white card stock pieces to 4” x 5 ¼” and a strip to ¾” x 3 ¾”. With the Botanical Textures designer series paper, find a piece of the white small leaf paper and a piece of the black small leaf paper. With the white small leaf paper, cut a piece to 2 ¼” x 3 ¾” and with the black small leaf paper cut a piece to 3” x 3 ¾”.

Take the white strip you cut to ¾” x 3 ¾” and use the smaller design Fancy Border Dies die to cut one side of the strip. Take some spare Basic Black card stock and cut out a leaf with the leaf die from the Memorable Blooms die set and then also cut a larger stitched oval with your oval dies. With the smaller oval die cut out with a spare piece of white card stock. With the Memorable Blooms stamp set and your Basic Black ink stamp the “You are awesome!” greeting in the middle of the white oval.

Now let’s put the card together. Take your Basic Black card base and adhere the plain White card stock piece you cut to 4” x 5 ¼” to the front of the card base. Adhere the piece of black small leaves paper to the bottom of the white base and then the white small leaves paper to the top portion of the card. Adhere the white strip you cut with the fancy cut edge facing the bottom of your card. With a piece of black lace, or if you don’t have black lace you can cut a smaller strip of black card stock cut with the same Fancy Border Die. Adhere this to the top portion of your white strip. Take your “You are awesome” white oval and adhere to the center of the black oval and with pop dots adhere your black oval centered over your borders.

With the black leaf you cut out, adhere that to the right side of the White card stock you cut to 4” x 5 ¼”. Then with your Memborable Blooms stamp set and your Basic Black ink and stamp the “Thanks so much” greeting toward the upper right corner. Adhere this White piece to the inside of your card.

There is your lovely black and white Botanical Textures You Are Awesome card to give to someone you care about and make their day!
