Painterly Pears Double Z-Fold Card

No Comments

I am in love with this card, the colors go together so well (even though they are University of Michigan colors, Michigan State fan here 😊).  All of the paper in this Painterly Pears designer series paper pack from Stampin’ Up is just so elegant.  And it is a different take on a Z-Fold card which is one of my favorites. 

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

  • Secret Sea card stock (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
  • Darling Duckling card stock (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
  • Painterly Pears designer series paper (2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Perfectly Pears stamp and dies set (Stampin’ Up)
  • Low-Profile Sparkle Dots
  • Secret Sea ink (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From a piece of Secret Sea card stock cut your card base to 5 ½” x 8 ¼” and score at 2 ¾” and 5 ½” and fold into a “Z” shape.  With your Darling Duckling card stock cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 8 ¼” and score at 2 ¾” and at 5 ½” and fold into the same “Z” fold. 

In your Painterly Pears designer series paper pack find the Secret Sea color pear paper, the Darling Duckling pear paper and the Darling Duckling checker paper.  From the Secret Sea pear paper cut three pieces to 2 ½” x 5 ¼” and adhere to each of your three Secret Sea card base pieces.  Then cut two of the Darling Ducking pear pieces to 2 ½” x 2 ½” and adhere to the first and second panels of the Darling Duckling “Z” fold.  From the Darling Duckling checker designer series paper cut a piece to 2 ½” x 2 ½” and adhere that to the third panel of the Darling Duckling card stock. 

To adhere your “Z” folds together, center the Darling Duckling “Z-fold” paper into the Blue “Z-Fold” and then measure to make your yellow hang out about half way and making your card measure 4” or so across and then adhere down, making sure you are only putting adhesive on the part that hits the blue “Z”. 

Cut a piece of 2” x 2” Darling Duckling card stock and with your “A good friend is a gift” greeting stamp from the Perfectly Pears stamp set and Secret Sea ink stamp and then adhere to the back panel of your Darling Duckling “Z-fold”.  On a small scrap piece of Darling Duckling and your Secret Sea ink stamp the “Friend” greeting and use the small label die from Perfectly Pear dies to cut it out, or cut out by hand.  Adhere the Friend label on a angle in the lower right corner of your front Darling Duckling panel and then add three small Low-Profile Sparkle Dots that come in the Perfectly Pears suite around on that front panel. 

This is such an elegant card for any friend to show you care!

Tent Fold Stepper Peaceful Garden Card

No Comments

I have seen a few of these online as ideas, but this one came from my Stampin’ Up upline in one of her Thursday night Facebook lives at My Stamping Style.  It was a really cute design that I hadn’t seen before, but I have now saw a few times since.  It folds into a normal 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card but forms a stand for a 4” x 4 ¼” card with a front step.    I used the Peaceful Gardens to make this charming card. 

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

  • Secret Sea card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Cloud Cover card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Peaceful Garden designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Secret Sea ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Hues of Blue flower embellishments (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With your Secret Sea card stock a piece to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 4”, 8”, 9” and 10”.  From the 4” end, fold the 4” to the 8” score, fold the 9” score up and then the 10” score down.  With your Cloud Cover card stock, cut two pieces to 3 7/8” x 4 1/8” and a piece to 7/8” x 3 7/8”.  From the Peaceful Garden designers series paper, find the white hydrangea paper and cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 4”.  Then find the Cloud Cover paper and cut a piece to ¾” x 3 ¾”. 

Adhere one of the pieces of Cloud Cover to the front of the 4” x 4 ¼” fold up piece and then adhere the white hydrangea designer series paper.  Adhere the 7/8” x 4 1/8” piece of Coud Cover to the front of the step and then the Cloud Cover designer series paper piece to the front of that. 

Take a spare piece of Cloud Cover card stock and the small label from the Peace on Earth dies and cut a label, and then with the larger label die cut one from Secret Sea, adhere together.  From white card stock die cut the dove with wings up.  With the Peace on Earth stamp set and your Secret Sea ink stamp the “Sending” and “Heartfelt Prayers” together on your label.  Adhere the dove to the upper left of your label and add one large and two small flower embellishments from the Hues of Blue flower embellishments.  Adhere the label to the front of you step about ½’ up from the bottom of your step. 

With the second piece of Cloud Cover you cut, your Secret Sea ink and the “with deepest sympathy” greeting from the Peace on Earth stamp set.  Adhere to the inside of your card. 

That makes your Peaceful Garden Tent Fold Stepper card.

Take the Timid Tiger piece you cut to 2 ½” x 4” and the Mossy Meadow piece you cut to 2 3/8” x 3” along with your two larger label tags dies, one measuring about 2” wide and one about 1 ¾” wide.  I then partially cut from the decorative side but not all the way to the end and then finished cutting them with scissors for length.  Then I trimmed the length of the Timid Tiger piece to 3 ½” long and scored in from the flat edge ½”.  Then I trimmed the Mossy Meadow piece to 3 3/8” in length to layer.  Fold the Timid Tiger at the score mark and with the ½” score facing down, adhere the Mossy Meadow piece to the top lining up at the straight scored edge.  To adhere place on the front of your card and fold the ½” score down and adhere to the center of the inside of your card.

Beautiful Gallery Marina Accordion Fold Card

No Comments

This is a great masculine card for any male in your life and is so lovely.  It is fairly quick and easy since the paper does the work, just takes a little time cutting the paper to line up. 

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

  • Secret Sea card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Beautiful Garden designer series paper (2025 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Label die
  • Happiest of Birthdays stamp set (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Secret Sea ink (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or scoring blade for trimmer
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

Take your Secret Sea card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 11” and score at 3 ¼”, 5 1/8”, 8” and 9 ½”.  From the 3 ¼” first score, fold the next section in and then accordion fold from there with the last piece forming your card front. 

From the Beautiful Gallery designer series paper find the piece of brown paint and then two of the marina painting.  From the brown paint piece cut a piece to 1 3/8” x 5 3/8” and a second to 1 ¾” x 5 3/8”.  Adhere the 1 3/8” wide piece to the second panel and the 1 ¾” piece to the 4th panel. 

Cutting the marina papers is where it takes a bit of paying attention to get it to all line up to form the same picture when the card is closed.  Trim both pieces of the Marina paper together to 5 3/8” in height so that the picture is the same exact height for both.  Start by cutting the piece for the back, I cut a bit off the right side so it had the single boat starting at the right which then when folded will have all the boats showing, cut to 3 1/8” x 5 3/8”.  Adhere to the back portion of your card.  Fold in the middle and take the second piece of marina paper and see where the boats align to the right and trim to there.  Then cut in from the right to 2 ¾” x 5 3/8”.  Now fold in the front panel and take the leftover piece from the first piece of marina paper and again figure out where the boats need to align and trim the right and then cut to 1 3/8” 5 3/8”.  Andere to the front which gives you your picture when folded and a nice scenic view when open. 

From the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set find the “it’s your day enjoy it!” greeting and stamp onto some Basic Beige in Secret Sea ink.  Take your label die and cut out your greeting.  Adhere only a bit of the label to the front panel making your label centered when your card is closed. 

Cut a piece of Basic Beige to 3” x 5 ¼” for the back of your card.  Take the “wishing you the happiest of birthdays” greeting stamp and your Secret Sea ink and stamp in the upper center.  Adhere your piece of Basic Beige to the back of the back panel of your card. 

There is a great guy birthday card for when you need it.

Sweeter With You Strawberry Hello Card

I am loving this July 2025 Sweeter With You Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin’ Up.  This kit is all based around strawberries for the season and has a bunch of adorable punch-outs to build cards with included instructions or to make up your own.  I am really having fun making cards and tags with it.

  • Pop dots (Included in kit)

With your Poppy Parade (or Sweet Sorbet) card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼” and 6 3/8” and fold into a Z.  From the kit find the pink card stock with the red dots and cut two pieces to 2” x 5 3/8” each.  Adhere one to the small front of your Z.  Adhere the other to the right side of the back of your card lining them up. 

From the cut-outs in the Sweeter With You kit, find one of the rectangle scallop pieces, one of the pre-cut shapes to stamp “Hello, Friend” greeting, three of the white blossoms, one of the small strawberries and one of the stems with strawberries.  Adhere the left half of the stem with strawberries to the front of your card, leaving the right half hanging off over the back pink with dots paper.  Add the three flowers around on the stem piece for decoration. 

Take the “Hello, Friend” greeting stamp from the Sweeter With You stamp set and your Poppy Parade or Sweet Sorbet ink and stamp on the cut-out shape for it.  Acdhere the left side Hello portion with pop dots below the stem with strawberries on the front of your card.

Bouquet of Roses Charming Day Card

No Comments

This card is made with the rose die from the Stampin’ Up Charming Day stamps and dies.  This lovely rose die in the Charming Day suite makes such pretty roses and were perfect for my card.  I saw a similar card on Facebook and thought it was such a great idea though I can’t find what site I found it on, and this die was perfect for what I wanted.

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

  • Darling Duckling card stock (2025-2027 In Colors from Stampin’ Up)
  • Strawberry Slush (2025-2027 In Colors from Stampin’ Up)
  • Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Subtle 3D embossing folder (Stampin’ Up)
  • Charming Day stamps and dies (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Fancy Border Dies (2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Strawberry Slush ink (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
  • White Crinkle Ribbon (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop Dots

With white card stock cut your card base to 5 1/2” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Then cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and two pieces to 3 ¾” x 5”.  Then with your Darling Ducking card stock cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

With the Subtle 3D embossing folder emboss the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” white card stock and one of the 3 ¾” x 5”.  Now with the 3 ¾” x 5” embossed white piece and one of your Darling Duckling pieces and align the white over the Darling Duckling with the right upper corner hanging over the right upper about 1/8” on each side then use the simple Fancy Border Die along each corner and cut to cut the corner to make a spot to hold your flowers like they are wrapped in paper.  Then adhere the white piece to the Darling Duckling. 

Now cut three roses from the rose die in the Charming Day dies from the Strawberry Slush card stock, and another three from Old Olive card stock.  Then also cut one of the leaves with the die from Old Olive.  The cut the rose tops off the Strawberry Slush roses you cut and adhere to the Old Olive roses you cut so you have the green for stems and leave and the pink rose.  Align your roses through the slot you cut and adhere to the back and then adhere the whole thing to the larger white embossed piece.  Then adhere your leaves die cut piece to the back of your three roses just to add a bit of filler. 

Cut a Darling Duckling tag and a smaller white tag and adhere together.  Stamp the “you made my day” greeting on the white label with Strawberry Slush ink.  Adhere to the front of your card.  Take a piece of White Crinkle Ribbon and tie a bow and adhere to the base of the roses.

Now for the inside of your card take the white piece and adhere to the Darling Duckling piece.  Take the “Thanks for being you” greeting and stamp on the upper portion of your white card stock.  Adhere to the inside of your card.

This gives you a lovely bouquet card to make someone’s day.
