Book Binding Textured Chic Painted Posies Card

No Comments

I like the style of the book binding fold cards and the Textured Chic designer series paper from Stampin’ Up is one of my favorite packs of paper.  The Painted Posies embossing folder is really pretty as well, so I used some of the white core card stock and then sanded it down a bit so that the embossed outline is white on the petal pink paper and then just colored in the flowers. 

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

  • Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Petal Pink white core card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Textured Chic designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder (Stampin’ Up)
  • Magnolia Mood stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
  • Petal Pink ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends – Dark (Stampin’ Up)
  • Gold Ribbon – Shimmer Ribbon (Stampin’ Up)
  • Brushed Brass Butterflies embellishments (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With a piece of Petal Pink card stock, cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 4 ¼” and 5 ½”.  From the Petal Pink white core card stock cut two pieces to 3 ¾” x 3 ¾”.  From the Texture Chic designer series paper pack, find the piece that is pink and orange with the diagonal design, cut two pieces to 4” x 4” and a third to 1” x 4”.

Take one of your 3 ¾” x 3 ¾” Petal Pink white core pieces and emboss with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder.  With your Petal Pink Dark Stampin’ Blends market color in the flowers.  Use a sanding block (nail sanding blocks work well) and sand over the top to show the white core of the embossed design.   Add three of the brass butterflies around the embossed design. 

Use adhesive, I would probably recommend glue, to adhere the 1 ¼” binding to the back of the card.  Cut two pieces of ribbon and cross in the middle and adhere to each end of the 1” x 4” designer series paper piece.  Adhere that to the front of the book binding part of the card.  Adhere the embossed piece to one of the 4” x 4” designer series paper pieces and then adhere that to the front of your card. 

Use the “Happy Birthday” stamp from the Magnolia Mood stamp set and stamp on the other piece of Petal Pink white core card stock.  Adhere that to the other piece of designer series paper and adhere that to the inside of your card. 

That gives you this pretty book binding birthday card.

With the Night of Navy card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½”, folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  From the Blueberry Bushel cut two pieces 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”.  Find the star paper you would like to use from the Stargazing designer series paper pack and cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Then from your white card stock cut a piece to 1 3/8” x 3 5/8” and another to 3 ¼” x 3 ¼”. 

Take one of your Stargazing designer series paper pieces and your larger circle die and center it the same distance from the top and two sides with the tab to the top and cut.  Adhere it to one of your Blueberry Bushel pieces and then adhere to the front of your card.  Take the smaller circle die and align in the center of your larger cut out, aligning the tab to the top as well and cut.

Toadstool Gardens Angled Window Card

1 Comment

This angled window card made with the Toadstool Gardens designer series paper is very cute and while I am not usually a brights fan, this paper pack has won my heart.  It took a bit of playing with to get it to work but was so worth it.    

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

  • Melon Mambo card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Toadstool Gardens designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Mixed Labels stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
  • Square dies, largest measuring about 1 ¼” and then the next size down
  • Square dies, largest measuring about 1 ¾” and then the next size up
  • Melon Mambo ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Melon Mambo Ribbon (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With your Melon Mambo cut a card base to 5 ½” x 11” and score at 3 ¼” and 7 5/8”.  On the inside right panel make a mark down 1 ¼” and at the bottom mark in from the first score mark 1 5/8”.  With your paper trimmer place the first score mark at the cutting edge and angle down to the 1 ¼” mark and cut the angle.  Then from the bottom 1 5/8” mark up to the point from your first cut and cut your second angle, which gives you your front panel angles.  For the left panel, mark down 1” and cut an angle from the left score mark to your 1” mark.  Take the larger of the two square dies and angle it along your angles of the front panel and cut a hole about ¼” in from each side.

Grab your Toadstool Gardens designer series paper pack and find the multi-color dot paper, a piece of the wavy paper and also the paper that has the little flowers on it.  With the multi-color dot paper, cut two piece to 3 1/8” x 5 ¼”.  Take one piece and mark down 1 ¼” on the dot side and in from the right side on the bottom mark at 1 ½” and then cut your angles and adhere to the front right panel of your card.  On the second dot piece, mark down 1” on the left side and cut the angle down. 

I think the easiest way to line up your box for the back panel is to align your paper on the front of the panel and close the front panel onto it and then use a pencil to lightly draw your box, and then use the same bigger square die and cut the hole.  Then adhere it to the front of the left panel.  Now with some white card stock cut out a smaller square and adhere that in the center of the left panel square cutout.  With the floral designer series paper you pulled out, cut out one of the flowers and adhere that to your white square so you see it through the front panel when closed. 

Take the white piece of card stock you cut and adhere that to the inside of your card.  With your Mixed Labels stamp set and your Melon Mambo ink and stamp the “I’m so glad we’re friends” greeting on a spare piece of white card stock and cut out with a 1 ¾” square and then cut the next size up die out of Melen Mambo card stock.  Adhere the white greeting to the Melon Mambo and then to the inside of your card. 

For your belly band cut a piece of Melon Mambo card stock to 1” x 9 ½”, loosely fold this over your card side and meet in the back and adhere the ends together.  Now cut a piece of the wavy designer series paper to ¾” x 4 ¼” and adhere to your adhered ends side to hide your ends.  Then wrap the belly band with ribbon and tie a not and trim ends. 

You have now created the Toadstool Gardens Angled Window card and it wasn’t so bad, when you have directions.

Impressions Abloom Easel Card

1 Comment

I was excited to use this new Stampin’ Up Online Exclusive set called Impressions Abloom suite.  It uses a few of the new In Colors, this card is made with the new Strawberry Slush In Color.  I am already in love with this new color as it isn’t pale but it also isn’t really bright. 

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

  • Strawberry Slush card stock (Stampin’ Up 2025-2027 In Colors)
  • White card stock
  • Vellum
  • Floral Impressions designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Impressions Abloom stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Strawberry Slush ink (Stampin’ Up 2025-2027 In Colors)
  • Strawberry Slush and Pretty In Pink Gems
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scissors
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

To start this card you need to take your Strawberry Slush card stock and cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 11”, folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  From your Floral Impressions designer series paper, find the Strawberry Slush floret piece that has the small florals on the other side which is needed as well.  Cut two pieces of this paper to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Adhere the Strawberry Slush floret piece to the front of your card base, make sure you only put adhesive around the edges as you will have to be able to slide your vellum piece in.  Use your scoring board or scoring blade and score the front portion in half, scored at 2 ¾” and folded.  Now take the other oval die that has the dotted edge, cut an oval in the middle of your card front.  Keep both of the edge pieces. 

With your white card stock cut and oval with the Impressions Abloom dies oval without the decorative dots.  With your vellum cut a piece to 3 3/8” x 4 ½”, then with the same oval die cut halfway down leaving the bottom portion in tacked.   Cut the top portion of the vellum outside. 

 The hardest part is to then get your card stock and Strawberry Slush card front to split apart so you can insert the piece of vellum in between them.  Get the vellum inserted and centered.  Take the Strawberry Slush dotted oval edge from when you cut your front ovel and adhere to the vellum, inserting it into your oval with the front laying flat so it is all lined up.  Then take the Strawberry Slush floret piece and adhere to the back of your vellum oval. 

Now from your Floral Impressions designer series paper pack find the piece that has all the different florals from the pack on one and with the two pinks on the left side cut out three different larger flowers with stems, three of the lighter pink daisy flowers and three of the small Strawberry Slush flowers (or you can use stamps and dies to cut out flowers from the Impressions Abloom dies if you prefer not to have to “fussy cut” the flowers like I did).  Arrange these around your oval on the front of your card for decoration.

For the inside of your card take the floral piece you cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the inside of your card.  Then take the white card stock oval and the “Thanks” and “so very much” stamps and stamp them centered on the oval.  Put adhesive on the back of your oval and put it into the oval from your card base (behind the vellum) to align and then close your card on to it.  Now add three of the smaller Strawberry Slush embellishments below your greeting for the folded card front to be able to stand against.  

You now have a great card to give to someone you appreciate for what they do for you.

Wildflower Birthday Tent Pop-Up Card

4 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.
