Beautiful Gallery Double Vision Celebrate Card

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

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

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

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.

  • Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer

  • Adhesive of choice

For you card base take a piece of Hydrangea Hue card stock and cut it on the diagonal in half from the top left to the lower right.  Then score on the 11” side at 5 ½” and on the 8 ½” side at 4 ¼”.  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. 

Adhere the leaf spray to the left and upper part of your circle and then the flower to the left side of your words.  Add a few of the Natural Matte Dots embellishments to the white spaces of your circle.  Put adhesive to the upper left side of the back of your circle and adhere to the upper center of your card front, adhering only to the upper diagonal.

Painted Illusions Split Grame Happy Birthday Card

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. 

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

  • Flirty Flamingo card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Transparency clear sheet
  • Painted Illusions designer series paper (February 2026 Product of the Month Stampin’ Up)

  • Forever Florals (2025 Virtual Retreat Stampin’ Up)
  • Flirty Flamingo ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

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.  From the swirl paper cut two pieces to 1 ¼” x 5 3/8” with a section of the pink included.  From the pink floral piece cut a piece to 1 ¼” x 5 ½” and six pieces to 1 ¼” x 1 ¼”. 

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

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.

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

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)
  • 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.

With your 4 ¼” x 8 ¼” folded to 5 ½” piece, adhere to eh 4” x 5 ¼” hydrangea piece to the back panel and the 2 ½” x 4” piece to the shorter front panel.  Now take the other Secret Sea piece that measures 3” x 4” folded and put adhesive on the back and adhere the back flap to the center of the back panel of the card base, the top flap will then go over the short front flap. 

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.

This is just a beautiful sympathy card that will hopefully warm a little piece of someone’s heart in a time of need.
