Fold the 4 ¼” side in and the 5 ½” down to form you card base. From Crumb Cake cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and cut in half on the diagonal and adhere to each side. Then with the floral piece from the Delicate Dreams designer series paper pack cut to 3 ¾” x 5” and cut on the diagonal and adhere to your Crumb Cake pieces.

With a white piece of card stock cut out a 3” circle with a die. To the lower right side use the “for someone extra special” greeting from the 12 Days of Crafting stamp set and stamp in Secret Sea ink. On a scrap piece of white card stock use the large flower stamp from the 12 Days of Crafting stamp set and stamp in Hydrangea Hue ink, use the die to cut it out. Then use Secret Sea ink to stamp the flower center. Use the leaf spray die and the Mossy Meadow paper from the Delicate Dreams designer series paper to cut out.

April 11, 2026 No Comments

This card design I have been looking at for a while and finally made, I am calling it a split frame card. This one is made with the Painted Illusions designer series paper from Stampin’ Up.

From a piece of white card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 5 5/8” and score at 1 3/8”. Then cut a piece to 1 3/8” x 5 ½”, one to 1 1/8” x 3” and three to 1 3/8” x 1 3/8”. From a transparency or clear sheet cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. From the Painted Illusions designer series paper find the pink floral paper and then the swirl paper that has the blue floral back.

With the white card base, fold at the score mark. Take the transparency piece and adhere to the front of the 1 3/8” section, making sure you keep the adhesive away from the edge so it won’t show outside the paper boundaries, about 1/8” all the way around. Now adhere the white piece measuring 1 3/8” x 5 ½” and adhere that to the right side to the back of the transparency.

Take the white squares and three of the floral squares and adhere each floral square to the white squares. Adhere one to the top portion of the clear center strip, one to the bottom and then the third to the middle.

For the inside of the card adhere the other three floral squares to the triangles on the left side to cover the adhesive from the front. Adhere the floral strip to the left side of the card back. In Flirty Flamingo ink stamp the “happy birthday” greeting from the Fabulous Sayings stamp set to the white strip. Adhere to the center of the floral strip. Cut two of the small flower bunches from the Forever Florals dies and adhere one bunch to each end of your happy birthday greeting making sure they are on the white so the centers of the flowers are white.

The inside is as cute and the outside and this card design could be used for any occasion card.

Painted Illusions Happy Birthday Pop-Up Blocks Card

March 13, 2026 No Comments

I have looked at making this pop-up style card for a while and this paper from the Painted Illusions designer series paper from Stampin’ Up seemed perfect for it. I am not usually a fan of bright papers so breaking it up into small pieces with a calming background warmed it all up. I love how it turned out and while there was a bit more cutting that usual, especially since I did two layers, it really went together fairly fast.

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

Lost Lagoon card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Painted Illusions designer series paper (March 2026 Product of the Month Stampin’ Up)
2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
Lost Lagoon ink (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

From a piece of Lost Lagoon card stock cut these pieces:

A card base to 4 ¼” x 8 ½” and score at 1 ½” and 3”. Fold the middle small panel in and the outside small panel out to form a “z” fold.
3 ¼” x 4 ½” and score at 1 ¼”, 3”, and 4 ¼” and fold all inwards
2 ¼” x 3 ¾” and score at 1”, 2 ½” and 3 ½” and fold all inwards
1 ¼” x 3” and score at ¾”, 2” and 2 ¾” and fold all inwards

From white card stock cut the following:

Two pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” for the back of the card base and back panel
Two to 1 3/8” x 4 1/8”
1 5/8” x 3 1/8”
1 3/8” x 2 1/8”
1 1/8” x 1 1/8”

From the Painted Illusions designer series paper find the Lost Lagoon decorative piece and also the Lost Lagoon and Granny Apple Green “swooshy” piece. From the Lost Lagoon decorative piece cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the swooshy piece cut the following:

Three pieces to 1 ¼” x 4”
1 ½” x 3”
1 ¼” x 2
1” x 1”

For one of the 1 ¼” x 4” and each of the other three, if you need a pattern to align, as I did, then cut them all from the same piece in order and then an even about off the top and bottom of the last three pieces.

Adhere the large white piece to the back panel of your card base and then the Lost Lagoon decorative piece to the top of that. Adhere your first 1 ¼” x 4” “swooshy” piece that starts your patterns that align to one of the white pieces measuring 1 3/8” x 4 1/8”, and then adhere that to the top of your front panel. Use one of the other two “ swooshy” pieces to adhere to one of the white pieces and adhere to the front of the middle panel.

Now time to create your steps. Adhere each of your smaller “swooshy” pieces to their appropriate white pieces and then adhere each to the second section of each of the appropriate steps. Take your largest step and adhere adhesive to the first panel, adhere in the center of the middle card base panel, then put adhesive on the ¼” section of the block, fold the third and fourth panel up and then fold your card down to find the appropriate spot, repeat for the next two sections.

With the large floral stamp with the three flowers and your Lost Lagoon ink, stamp them on a scrap piece of white. Color the leaves with the Light Garden Green Stampin’ Blends pen. Fussy cut out the three flowers and the colored leaves. Then stamp the “happy birthday” greeting and cut out a rectangle around it. Adhere the large flower to the bottom of the first panel with a single leaf and the triple leaves and then adhere the Happy Birthday greeting, angled up above the second and third pop-up blocks. Adhere the middle flower and one of the two leaves to the upper portion of the second panel and the small flower and two leaves to the fourth pane.

For the back of the card adhere the large piece of white to the back and then the last “swooshy” piece to the left side of the right. Stamp a birthday greeting in Lost Lagoon ink centered in the upper portion of the rest of the white. I used a stamp that says “wishing you a day of little treasures and simple pleasures, happy birthday” which is a single stamp I have had for a long time but don’t know who made it.

This card turned out so cute, and it is so out of my normal range, so I was so excited about it.

Floral Z-Fold Lace Cards

February 11, 2026 No Comments

These cards are a Z-Fold style card, but the design makes a full-front card. These cards were made with some floral paper that I don’t know what they are from and then use a border lace punch from Stampin’ Up to decorate the front edge.

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

Blue Rose Card

Marina Mist card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Very Vanilla card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Floral designer series paper (Unknown)
Gallery Blooms stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
Words of Beauty stamps and dies (November 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)

Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

White card stock
Floral designer series paper (Unknown)
Sentimental Park stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Double Layer Butterfly die (Spellbinders ?)
Ridinghood Red ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

To make a similar card, since I don’t know where the floral paper came from, cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 1 ½” x 4 ¼”. Fold in half and then fold the small portion toward you. From your neutral color (white or vanilla) cut a piece for the inside of your card to 4” x 5 ¼”, a piece for the front to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” and for the middle inside panel cut a piece to 2 ½” x 5 ¼”. For the lace piece cut a piece to 2” x 5 ½” and then use the lace punch (or a decorative border die if you have one) to cut the border edge. Adhere this to the back of the front flap, you may need to trim off a bit to have it line up where you would like for it to show well.

From your floral paper cut a piece for the front to 2 5/8” x 5”, a piece for your inside panel to 2 1/8” x 5” and a piece for the middle panel to 1 1/8” x 5”. Take your neutral piece measuring 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” piece and the 2 5/8” x 5” floral piece and adhere the floral piece to it and then adhere the left side of the neutral piece to the front flap. Use the 2 1/8” x 5” floral piece to the 4” x 5 ¼” piece (to either side, use your preference as I did one of each) and then adhere this to the back panel of the inside of your card. Then adhere the last floral piece to the neutral piece and adhere that to the middle panel on the inside.

Use a decorative stamp and\or die to decorate the front and use a greeting stamp and label to go with it on the front. Stamp a greeting on the inside back panel of the card if you wish.

This gives you a really nice card design to use for any type of card you prefer.

This card looks a bit complicated but it really wasn’t too bad, it is just paying attention to make sure you get your angles going the correct directions. To start, take a piece of 8 ½” x 11” Cloud Cover card stock and score in half both directions creating four blocks. Holding your paper vertical, cut out the upper left corner completely. For the upper right corner, cut your angle from corner to corner, cutting from the upper left corner to the lower right corner, creating your flap the folds down. For the lower left corner, cut your angle from the lower left corner to the upper right corner, forming your under flap.

From white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and cut from the upper left corner to the lower right corner, this gives you the layers for your flaps. Cut a piece for the inside of your card to 4 1/16” x 5 5/16”. From the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper find the Cloud Cover stripes paper and the Cloud Cover floral paper, cut a piece of each to 3 ¾” x 5”. The cut the stripes piece from the upper left to the lower right corner and use the bottom piece for your under flap. The cut the floral piece from the lower left to the upper right (this paper is directional) and use the upper corner for your upper flap.

Now take the large flower stamp from the Lovely Arrangements stamp set and tap in your Cloud Cover ink and then use your Secret Sea Stampin’ Write Marker to color the center of the flower. Then huff on your stamp (blow warm breathe to remoisten your ink) and stamp on a piece of white card stock. Use the die to cut out the flower and also the two leaf dies to cut out leaves from Old Olive card stock.

Let’s get your card adhered together, start with adhering your two white diagonal pieces to your flaps, and then the stripes paper to the lower flap onto the white and the floral piece to the white on the upper flap. Then adhere your full piece of white card stock to the inside of your card. Adhere your flower to your upper flap overhanging where your diagonals cross over the white and the adhere your leaves as well.

For the inside piece showing where your diagonals cross, stamp the “wishing you the best birthdays ever” greeting form the Season of Chic stamp set in Cloud Cover ink.

Then take the Night of Navy piece measuring 4 ¼” x 4 ¼” and adhere the white piece measuring 4 1/8” x 4 1/8” to that and then the large floral 4” x 4” piece to that. Now adhere the right side of that to the right side of your card front, creating your card front and forming the “hinge” as shown below.

To decorate your card front start with cutting your white leaf in half and adhering the top half in the upper left corner of the 4 ¼” square part of your card front. Add on two of the Night of Navy pieces and then the Balmy Blue leaves you cut out. Now adhere your white label to the Night of Navy label and adhere that over your decorative leaves with pop dots. Now adhere three of your cut out flowers and the third Night of Navy leaf piece to the left side of your label.

For the inside adhere the 4 1/8” x 4 1/8” of white to the inside of your card and then the Balmy Blue leaf piece to the right side of that, leaving a small white boarder on three sides. Adhere the fourth flower your cut out to the lower left corner. Stamp the “heartfelt prayers” greeting in Night of Navy ink in the upper center of the white portion of the inside of your card.

You have made a lovely card to share your sympathy with someone who has had a loss.
