Lovely Blossoms You Are So Lovely Reverse Buckle Card

I guess you can call this design the reverse buckle card, as I saw a buckle card and came up with this design from seeing that.  This beautiful Lovely Blossoms designer series paper and Lovely Arrangement stamps and dies help to make this lovely card. 

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

  • Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Lovely Blossoms designer series paper (January 2025 Online Exclusive Stamin’ Up)
  • Lovely Arrangements stamp set and dies (January 2025 Online Exlcusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Secret Sea ink (2025-2027 In Color stamping’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scoring board or blade for trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Mini Pop dots

From white card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 5 ½” and another piece cut to 2 ¼” x 7”, scored at 3 ½” and fold both in half.  From the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper find the Secret Sea paper with the diamonds, the Petal Pink piece with the florets and the Petal Pink with the large flowers.  From the Secret Sea diamonds paper cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”, and the same with the Petal Pink florets piece.  From the large floral piece cut a piece to 2” x 3 ¼”. 

Take a piece of Petal Pink card stock and the Lovely Arrangement dies and cut out one of the dots background pieces, and then cut it a second time cutting off one row, leaving three rows.  Then with Secret Sea ink, stamp the “Hello Friend” greeting on the Petal Pink card stock and use the larger oval shaped die to cut it out. 

On a piece of white card stock stamp the “You are so lovely” greeting in Secret Sea ink and use the smaller rectangle die.  Then with the full flower stamp, ink the flower in Cloud Cover ink and then use the Secret Sea Stampin’ Write marker to color the center and huff on the stamp to warm up the ink and stamp.  Clean between stamps.  Stamp two of the full flowers and two of the half flowers.  Then stamp two of the leaf stamp in Secret Sea ink.  Use the flower and leaf dies to cut each of them out. 

Now time to assemble.  Take your card base measuring 4 ¼” x 11” folded in half and adhere the Secret Sea diamonds piece to the front.  Then adhere the Petal Pink circles piece you cut to the right side of the card front leaving about 1/8” of the Secret Sea diamonds paper to the right.  Use the oval label die to cut out your hole about 1/8” to the left side of the Petal Pink circles piece, cutting through to the inside.  Take your flowers and leaves and curl the edges to add dimension.  Then adhere one of the full flowers to the lower section of the Petal Pink circles piece and the half flower to the upper section.  Take one of the leaves pieces and cut the three leaves into separate leaves and adhere behind your flowers to your licking.  The use mini pop dots cut in half to adhere the “You are so lovely” greeting label to the bottom of your cut out. 

For the inside of your card start by adhering the Petal Pink floret paper to the inside back of your card.  Then take the smaller white folded piece and adhere to the center of your card back facing the back of your card so that it will slide through the slot.  Adhere your large floral paper to the front of it.  Adhere the “Hello Friend” Petal Pink label to the inside of the small white portion.  Now adhere to two flowers and leaves in the lower left corner of the inside of your card, overlapping onto the white piece as well. 

What a pretty card to give to a friend, I can’t wait to send it out.

Floral Z-Fold Lace Cards

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)
  • Marina Mist ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

Rust Butterfly Card

  • Ridinghood Red card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • 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.

Adhere the piece of cloud cover paper to the front of the flap.  From a scrap piece of Secret Sea cut one of the large labels with the larger die in the Peace on Earth dies and use the smaller die to cut a label from some scrap white.  From Cloud Cover card stock and the leafy die, cut two. 

With the “Sending” and “Heartfelt Prayers” greeting stamps from the Peace on Earth stamp set stamp as one greeting on the small white label in Secret Sea ink, stamping slightly to the right so you have room for your leaf pieces.  Adhere the white label to the Secret Sea label and adhere your two leaf pieces overlapping to the left side of your label.  Adhere to the front of your cloud cover paper on the smaller flap. 

On your white piece of card stock stamp the “With Deepest Sympathy” greetings in Secret Sea ink and adhere to piece to the inside of your smaller 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.

True Blue Floral Hinge Sympathy Card

I finally made a hinge style card, I have had a sample in my craft room as an example for a while and saw it the other day and decided to make one.  This is made with the True Blue Floral designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and using the Peace on Earth and Petals of Beauty stamps and dies.

From a scrap piece of the large floral paper cut out one of the larger flowers and three of the smaller flowers and the one set of leaves.  Then from white card stock use the large open leaf die from the Petals of Beauty dies and cut out one of the leaves.  The use a smaller die (I used an old Stampin’ Up dies, not sure the name of the set) to cut out three from Night of Navy.

Lovely Blossoms Floral Double Z-Fold Card

I am infatuated with this card made with the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper and the Lovely Arrangements stamps and dies.  This is one of those card where I came up with what I wanted to do in my head and it actually turned out just like I pictured it, which doesn’t usually happen. 

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

  • Cloud Cover card stock (2025-2027 Incolor Stampin’ Up)
  • Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Lovely Blossoms designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Lovely Arrangements stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Cloud Cover ink (2025-2027 Incolor Stampin’ Up)
  • Secret Sea Stampin’ Write Marker (2025-2027 Incolor Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scoring Board or scoring blade from trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From a piece of Cloud Cover card stock cut a card base to 7” x 8 ½” and score at 2 1/8” and 4 ¼” and fold into your “Z” shape.  Cut 1 ½” off the top to make your card base measure 5 ½” x 8 ½” and then you have a matching strip for you double “Z”.  With your white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and two pieces to 2” x 5 3/8”

Take the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper pack and pull out a piece of the Cloud Cover striped paper and a piece of the Cloud Clover with white flowers.  From the striped paper cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Take the floral piece and cut two pieces to 1 7/8” x 5 ¼”.  Adhere each of these pieces to the white pieces.  Adhere the stripes paper on the white to the back of your card base.  Take one for floral pieces on white and adhere to the front half fold and the other to the inside center section.  Then take the 1 ½” long “Z” fold and adhere the long end to the front of your card and the short end to the back of your card to form your Double “Z” fold. 

Grab a piece of white card stock along with your Cloud Cover ink, Secret Sea Stampin’ Write marker and your Lovely Arrangements stamps and dies.  With the full flower stamp, tap your stamp onto your Cloud Cover ink and then take the marker and color the center and stamp on your white card stock.  Clean your stamp and repeat 3 more times.  Then do the same 4 times with the half flower.  Use your dies to cut these all out.  Then with some Old Olive card stock and the single and double leaf dies, cut two of each. 

Also stamp the “Thank You” and then the “So very much” underneath it, both in Cloud Cover Ink and use a label die to cut it out. 

To start building your flowers across your strip, adhere your label hanging above the strip, then adhere two full flowers and one half and a double leaf and two single leaves. 

Then adhere one full and one half to each of the small sections and divide your double leave into two singles and use one on each part.  The thing you may want to pay a little attention to, which I didn’t, is the flowers showing when the card it closed, but I don’t think it is a big deal, just mentioning if it will bother you. 

For the inside I used a label I had laying around as it was the perfect size, but I would say you can just cut a piece to 1 7/8” x 3” and adhere to the upper left side.  Then I adhere the last half flower to the bottom which looks like it is in the background of all the flowers on the strip and decorates your label.  This card turned out exactly as I picture I my head when I planned it, which is not usually the case.

Use the trees stamp from the Magical Meadow stamp set and stamp in the lower left corner of your label in Blueberry Bushel ink.  The stamp the “Winter Wishes” with Blueberry Bushel ink in the upper right corner of your label.  Adhere your label to the front of the small folded piece with pop dots.  Put a few random silver Adhesive-Backed Pearls around on the label. 

For the inside of your card use a scrap piece of Blueberry Bushel card stock and the two sizes of tree dies in the Magical Meadows dies and cut out one of each size.  Adhere these to the lower left corner on the white card stock on the inside of your card.  Then in Blueberry Bushel ink stamp the “may this season of sparkle bring joy and delight” greeting stamp in the upper center of the white inside.
