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.

Bloom Boutique Happy Birthday Card

May 29, 2026 No Comments

Used some angles for this card to give it a unique design. This beautiful floral paper from the Bloom Boutique designer series paper pack along with the stamps and dies of the Boutique Blossoms and Scalloped Blooms sets from Stampin’ Up made this lovely card.

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

Crisp Cantaloupe card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Bloom Boutique designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Boutique Blossoms stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Scalloped Blooms stamp set (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
2026-2028 In Color Dots (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Crisp Cantaloupe ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Peaceful Pine Light Blender Pen (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

For your card base cut a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe card stock to 4 ¼” x 11” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. With your white card stock cut a piece for the front to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and one for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the Bloom Boutique designer series paper find the light colored florals with the crisp cantaloupe theme and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.

Take your floral piece and a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe and angle the Crisp Cantaloupe piece across the right side of your floral piece in about 1” on the top right corner and about 1 ½” on the bottom left corner, adhere down and then flip over and cut your edges of the Crisp Cantaloupe up to your floral piece edges. Now angle the Petal Pink piece across the bottom about ¾” up on the left side and about 2” up on the right side, adhere down and flip over and trip again to your floral piece edges.

Now with your Crisp Cantaloupe ink and the filled in daisy stamp from the Boutique Blossoms stamp set and stamp five flowers and cut them out with the die. Also, with a piece of white card stock use the large leave sprig die to cut out one and then take the Peaceful Pine Light Blender Pen and color in the leaves, gives a lighter sprig than cut direct from Peaceful Pine which was what I tried first. Adhere your leaves sprig on the center of the Crisp Cantaloupe part of your card front and then four of the flowers on pop dots over them. Take the fifth flower and adhere to the left side of the Petal Pink piece. Now use your Crisp Cantaloupe ink and stamp the “happy birthday” from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set on the right side of the Petal Pink piece. Now adhere this to the white piece measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and then adhere to the front of your card base.

For the inside of your card, adhere the white piece to the back panel. Use your Crisp Cantaloupe ink to stamp the same daisy flower in the lower left corner and the “wishing you a day of relaxation, happiness and lover greeting in the upper center.

What a bright and cheery birthday card for any friend of family member.

Bloom Boutique Split Fold Card

May 23, 2026 No Comments

This card turned out really pretty with the new Hydrangea Hue color from 2026-2028 In Colors from Stampin’ Up. This card is made with the Bloom Boutique designer series paper and the Boutique Blossoms and Scalloped Blooms stamp and die sets. I have been wanting to make this split fold card as it has been a while and this paper worked perfectly.

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

Hydrangea Hue Pearlized Specialty Paper (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Bloom Boutique designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Boutique Blossoms stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Scalloped Blooms stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Hydrangea Hue ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Golden Glow Light Blender Pen (2026-28 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

There is a bit of cutting, but then this card goes together quick. For you card base cut a piece of the Hydrangea Hue Pearlized 12” x 12” paper to 5 ½” x 12” and score at 2”, 4”, 6” and 8” and then starting for the large back panel, fold in, out, in and back out. Then with your paper trimmer cut 1 ¼” down from the top on panels 2 and 3. And then the same at the bottom, 1 ¼” up from the bottom on panels 2 and 3. Cut another piece to 2 7/8” x 3 3/8”.

From the Bloom Boutique designer series paper pack find the Hydrangea Hue colored pieces with the small flowers and then the piece with the florets. Cut the following:

Small flowers piece:

One piece to 3 ¾” x 5 ¼” for the back of your card
Two pieces to 1 ¾” x 5 ¼” for panel 1 and 4

Blue florets piece:

Two pieces to 1 ¾” x 3 ¾” for the center of panels 2 and 3
Four pieces to 1” x 1 ¾” for the top and bottom of panels 2 and 3

White card stock:

One piece to 3 7/8” x 5 3/8” for the back panel
One piece to 2 ¾” x 3 ¼” for the center of your back panel
Two pieces to 1 7/8” x 5 3/8” for panel 1 and 4
Two pieces to 1 7/8” x 2 7/8” for the center of panels 2 and 3
Four pieces to 1 1/8” x 1 7/8” for the top and bottom of panels 2 and 3

Now that the cutting is done just assembly each flower or floret piece to the coordinating white piece and adhere to the appropriate panel and laid out above. For panels 2 and three, the small top and bottom sections fold in while the larger center section folds out.

For the stamping, with your Hydrangea Hue ink stamp two of the medium sized flower by stamping the background stamped off and then stamping the outline over it. Use the Golden Glow Light Blender Pen to color the centers. Then stamp four of the small daisy flower outlines and color the centers of those with the Golden Glow Light Blender Pen. Use the appropriate dies to cut them out. Then cut out the large leaf and two of the three leaves dies in Hydrangia Hue card stock or Pearlized Specialty paper. From white card stock cut out the square label with the scalloped edge from the Scalloped Blooms dies and stamp the “you’re a blessing to me” greeting at the bottom above the scallops.

Adhere the large leaf leaving to the left and up leaving about an 1” from the top. Cut one leaf off where it won’t show. Adhere the two larger flowers as desired and then the three daisies around them. Adhere the two three leaf sets to the left and right sides of the others and then use the single leaf you cut off with one of the daisies.

For the inside I left it blank and just added one of the daisy flowers in the right corner.

What a lovely card to let someone know how much they mean to you.

Moonlit Flora Amazing Friend Moth Double Z-Fold Card

May 15, 2026 No Comments

I love this Moonlit Flora designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and I have wanted to do something to highlight the green moth so this is the design I came up with to do that. A double Z-fold card with the Moonlit Flora designer series paper and the Fern & Flora stamp set and dies.

Dewdrops Embellishments (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)

Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

For you card base cut a piece of Secret Sea card stock 7 ½” x 10 ¼” and score at 4 ¼” and 7 ¼”, then cut 2” off the bottom to make a 5 ½” x 10 ¼” card base. From white card stock cut the following:

Two 2 7/8” x 5 3/8”
One 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”
One 1 ½” x 2 ½”

Take the Moonlit Flora designer series paper and find the firms piece with the white moths and large green moth and the one with the Secret Sea diamond shapes. Cut out the large moth. Cut the white moth paper into three sections with the first two measuring 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” and the last section to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the Secret Sea blue diamond paper cut one piece to 1 ¾” x 4” and two to 1 ¾” x 2 ¾”. Fussy cut out the large green moth.

Take your scored card base with the large section of the right and fold the two sections to the right and then the last section to the left. Adhere each white piece to each section and then your fern pieces to the front of each white piece in order so they flow. Do the same with the long strip except it goes the opposite direction with the large section as the top first piece and the short section to the back of the card. Adhere the long section of the strip to the front short section of your card about 1” up from the bottom making sure to only put adhesive where needed. Then adhere the short section to the back of your card base.

With some white card stock stamp the “you’re an amazing friend” greeting in Secret Sea ink and then stamp the label stamp around it. Then use the label die to cut it out. Adhere to the front left side of the blue diamond paper on the strip using pop dots. Then adhere the large moth you cut out with pop dots overlaying on your label. Ad a few of the Secret Sea embellishments from the Dewdrops Embellishments around your moth and label area.

Beautiful Gallery Double Vision Celebrate Card

May 11, 2026 No Comments

What a great masculine card with the double vision card design. It is made with the Beautiful Gallery designer series paper and the Beautiful Motifs stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up. My friend and upline did this on a Facebook Live going vertical instead of this horizontal at her My Stampin’ Style page.

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

Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Beautiful Gallery designer series paper (retired Stampin’ Up)
Beautiful Motifs stamp set and dies (retired Stampin’ Up)
“Happy Birthday to You” stamp (retired Stampin’ Up)
Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

I have designed this to the pieces are all the same size, most of them are two different sizes depending on if up or down piece. For your card base cut a piece of Mossy Meadow to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. From the Beautiful Gallery find three pieces of the cottage paper, or one piece and you can use Basic Beige for the other two pieces. Cut two pieces of the back of the cottage paper to 4” x 5 ¼” and one for a label to ½” x 2”. Cut the cottage piece out to 3 ¾” x 5”, getting the part you want for your card front. Then cut that into five 1” strips, or you can do ten ½” strips if you prefer to make them smaller.

Take one of the tan pieces and adhere to the front of your card base. Use pop dots to adhere your first strip to the front of that leaving about 1/8” to the left, adhere the next one directly to the paper and keep going with every other so you have three up on pop dots (if you choose to use the ½” strips your starter will end up popped up and the last one down, if you do the 5 then both ends will be popped up). With some Mossy Meadow ink and the “celebrate” greeting stamp on your label strip you cut out. Adhere that to the lower left corner adhering to two of the raised pieces, so watch where you put your adhesive as it won’t need it in the middle.

For the inside take your other tan piece and use the leaf die from your Beautiful Motif dies to cut in the lower left corner, which cuts a leaf pattern, but doesn’t cut the whole thing. Adhere to the inside back of your card base. Use the Mossy Meadow ink to stamp the “Happy birthday to you!” greeting (an old Stampin’ Up stamp but I don’t know the set name).

What a great masculine birthday card in the double vision design.

Let’s Celebrate Birthday Card

April 29, 2026 No Comments

I love this Everyday Happiness paper from Stampin’ Up but I have a hard time designing some cards with it, but I thought this one turned out cute. It was influenced by the Happy Day banner dies that I got in the 2025 Spellbinders Advent.

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

White card stock
Everyday Happiness designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Simply Sketched stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Sentimental Park stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Label layered dies – not sure from what set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Banners Spellbinder S1-168 W9 (2025 Advent Calendar Spellbinder)
Lost Lagoon ink (Stampin’ Up)
Bakers Twine Essentials Pack (Stampin’ Up)
Opaque Faceted Gems (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

With a piece of white card stock cut a card base to 5 1/2” x 11” an then angle the top from the 5 ½” to 3 3/8”. Then score at 4 ¼” and 7 5/8” starting from the high end as you want the high back panel to be full size and the other two panels will be skinnier. Folding from the higher back panel with the high side on the right, fold the middle panel up and the front panel back to form a z-fold.

Get your Everyday Happiness designer series paper pack and find the floral paper, the gold with the stars, the blue to gold variegated and the blue checked papers. Use the blue checked paper for the back panel, cutting to 4” x 5 ¼” and angling to the left to 4 3/8”. Use the blue gradient paper for the inside middle panel, cutting to 3 1/8” x 4 ¼” and angle to the left to 3 ½”. For the front back panel use the gold star paper and cut to 3 1/8” x 4 ¼” and angle to the right to 3 ½”. Then for the front panel use the floral paper cut to 3 1/8” x 3 ½” and angle to 2 7/8”. Finally cut a panel from white card stock to 3 1/8” x 4 ¼” and angle to the right to 3 ½”.

Adhere each to their perspective panels and then adhere to white piece to the back panel onto the blue checked paper so it is hiding under the other panels when folded, same as the inside middle panel but going the opposite direction. Cut out two of the flowers from a scrap piece of the floral paper and two of the grey leaves and adhere those to the bottom left of the white inside panel. Use the “Happy Birthday Wishes” greeting stamp from the Simply Sketched stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink and stamp to the upper portion of that inside white panel.

Take some of the gold star paper and your Happy Day Banner Dies and cut out the Happy Day banner and then from white card stock cut out the two solid banner dies. Adhere the white banners to the back of the Happy Day banners. Cut your Happy Day banner into to and adhere across your inside middle panel with happy going across the top and day coming from the left meeting up with the bottom of the “a” banner.

For the front panel stamp the “let’s celebrate” greeting from Sentimental Park in Lost Lagoon ink onto white card stock and then use a layered label die (not sure what set these are from) and the bottom layer can be cut from the gold star paper. Adhere your labels together and adhere to the front of your card overhanging across some of your showing blue checked paper. Add a few embellishment gems for decoration and a bow tied from the Bakers Twine Essentials pack in the grey color to match the leaves in the floral paper.

What a great birthday card for anyone you know

Floral Delight Happy Birthday Card

April 27, 2026 No Comments

I saw a card like this and hadn’t saw this style in a while so thought I would make one. I used the Floral Delight designer series paper and Delightful Wishes stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up to make this one.

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

Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Pecan Pie card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Daffodil Delight (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Floral Delight designer series paper (retired Stampin’ Up)
Delightful Wishes stamp set and dies (retired Stampin’ Up)
Lemon Lolly ink (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

To start your card base, cut a piece of Old Olive to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. From white card stock cut a piece to 5 ¼” x 6” and fold in half to 3” x 5 ¼” and another piece to 1” x 5 ¼”. Take your Floral Delight designer series paper find the yellow gingham paper and cut a piece to 2 7/8” x 5 1/8” and the yellow floral with the branches to 7/8” x 5 1/8”.

Take the white folded piece and adhere to the left side of the Old Olive card base, opening from the right. Adhere the yellow gingham piece to the front of it. Adhere your 1” white piece to the right side of your Old Olive card base and adhere the floral strip to it.

From a scrap piece of old olive use the larger wishing die to cut out. From Daffodil Delight cut out the smaller wishing, adhere them together. Tip, use adhesive sheets to back your Daffodil Delight card stock piece before you cut it out, but not your Old Olive piece as some of that won’t have adhesive because it hangs over the edge. From a scrap piece of white card stock stamp the multi-flower stamp base in Lemon Lolly and then the top layer in Daffodil Delight and cut out with the die. Use Pecan Pie card stock and the stick die to cut out. Stamp two of the double leaves, cut out with the dies and then cut them into individuals so you have four leaves. Adhere your leaves and flower pieces randomly to your stem and then adhere your stem to the front left side of your card front toward the top. Then on a scrap piece of white stamp the “you a happy birthday” in Old Olive ink and use the long slim die to cut it out. Adhere that at the bottom of your card centered on the full card, so hanging over the edge of the card opening slightly and then adhere your “wishing” above that, again with part of your “g” hanging over.

For the inside is used an old block stamp greeting saying ”I can’t think of a nicer person to celebrate!” in Old Olive ink, I don’t know what stamp set it was from.

What a bright and cheery birthday card for someone you care about.

Delicate Dreams Scalloped Wishes Thanks Card

April 22, 2026 No Comments

I had some triangle pieces left from a different card I made so I came up with this design so that I could use them on this gate fold that opens in the middle. It uses the blue floral paper from the Delicate Dreams designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and the Scalloped Wishes dies and stamps.

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

Hydrangea Hue card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Pear Pizzaz card stock (retired Stamp’ Up)
White card stock
Delicate Dreams designer series paper (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Scalloped Wishes stamp set and dies (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Hydrangea Hue ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Bordered Ribbon Hydrangea Hue (2026-2028 In Color Stampin Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

To cut your card base take a piece of white card stock and cut to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 2 ¾” and 8 ¼”. Cut another white piece to 3 ¾” x 5” for the inside of your card. From the Hydrangea Hue card stock cut a piece to 2 7/8” x 2 7/8” and cut on the diagonal into to halves. In your Delicate Dreams designer series paper pack find the blue and white floral piece and cut two pieces to 2 5/8” x 4 1/8” and a piece to 2 ¾” x 2 ¾” which you cut in half on the diagonal as well.

From the Scalloped Wishes dies take a scrap piece of white card stock and cut the large plain label and dragonfly wings. With some scrap Hydranea Hue card stock cut the larger scalloped designed label and four flowers (two sets of two), along with a dragonfly body. Take a scrap of Pear Pizzaz card stock and cut out two of the longer leaf sprigs.

Now we can assemble, starting with taking your white card base and folding each side in to meet at the center. Take the two rectangle floral pieces and adhere one to each side of the front of your card. Take your floral triangles and adhere to the Hydrangea Hue triangles and adhere one of each to the outside edge of your floral pieces.

With the Hydrangea Hue label, adhere it to the larger white label. Then adhere one of your leaf springs to the left side along with two of the flowers. Grab your Hydrangea Hue ink and the “with sincere thanks” greeting from Scalloped Wishes and stamp to the right side. With your Bordered Ribbon cut a piece and tie a bow and adhere to the upper right side of your label. Adhere the left side of your label to the left side centered in your card front. Adhere the dragonfly body to the front of wings and adhere the dragonfly to the upper right of your card, making sure it doesn’t interfere with your card label when opening the card.

For the inside of your card take the 4” x 5 ¼” Hydrangea Hue paper and adhere the 3 ¾” x 5” white piece to it and adhere to the inside of your card. Adhere the leaf spring and two remaining flowers in the lower left corner of the inside.

What a lovely thank you card for a girlfriend or work mate who does something you should say thanks for.
