From the Darling Ducking card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 1 ¼” and 5 ½” and fold both ends up. With your white card stock cut a piece for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the Painterly Pears designer series paper, find the piece of Darling Duckling paper with the pears and the piece with the pink lined grids. From the pears piece cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” and then from the grid paper cut a piece to 1” x 5 ¼”.
Grab some spare white card stock and your black Momento ink and stamp two of the small pears and one of the group of three flowers. For the small pears, take your Darling Duckling ink and the small pear inside stamp and stamp the inside of the pears. Then use your Old Olive Blender Pen light and do some shading and then with the Mossy Meadow light a bit more. For the branch color with the Pecan Pie light and for the leaves I colored them in Old Olive Light and Mossy Meadow dark. For the flower bunch I just used the full flower and cut it apart from the others. Then I used the center stamp with Pecan Pie ink and stamped the center. Then I used Darling Duckling Blender pens, light for the full flower and then dark coming in a bit from the center for highlights.
With some spare Darling Duckling card stock use the label die from the Perfect Pears die set to cut the large label. On another spare piece find the “Hello” greeting from the Perfect Pears stamp set and stamp in Old Olive ink. Use the small square label die to cut that out. Now take a spare piece of Old Olive card stock and cut out the hash design die and also a stem of leaves.
Grab your Darling Duckling card base and adhere to pears paper to the right side and the grid paper to the left side. Take the Mossy Meadow and Gold Trim ribbon and wrap around the inside of your card and tie in a knot and position to the right side of your card.
Now take the Darling Duckling large label you cut and let’s get that decorated. Start by adhering the hash cutout toward the left side of the label. Take your leaves cut-out and break it up into two pieces and then take one leaf off to use with your flower. Adhere the leaves to the back of one of your stamped pears sets and then use pop dots to adhere you pears to the right side of your tag. Adhere the single leaf you saved to the back of your flower and then adhere your flower to the upper right of the tag. Then use pop dots to adhere your hello in the space left over the hash cutout. Put adhesive to the left side of your tag and adhere to the lower front of your card with the adhesive side on the pear paper section.
For the inside, take the piece of white card stock you cut earlier and adhere your other set of pears in the lower right corner and then adhere to the inside of your card.
That finishes off your Perfect Pears card to send out to someone just to say hello.

I like the blue added with the peaches for this paper and card from the You’re a Peach designer series paper from Stampin’ Up. It is a pretty easy card as it is mainly cutting some paper and just stamp a few greetings.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
White card stock
You’re a Peach designer series paper (retired Stampin’ Up)
Sweet as a Peach stamp set
Balmy Blue or Marina Mist stamped off ink (retired Stampin’ Up)
Circle die
Artistry Bloom Adhesive-Backed Sequins
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Scissors
Adhesive of choice
With your white cards stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 1 ¼” and 4 ¼” and fold both up to form your card base. From the You’re a Peach designer series paper find the blue stripe piece and the blue with peaches piece. From the blue with peaches piece, cut two pieces to 3” x 5 ½”. From the blue stripes piece cut two pieces 1 ¼” x 5 ½”.
From a spare piece of the blue with peaches paper and a pair of scissors cut two of the peaches with leaves out, or you can also choose to stamp them and die cut them out. From a spare piece of white card stock cut a 2 5/8” circle.
Take your white card base and your two blue stripe pieces and adhere one to the right edge of the inside of your card and the other to the 1 ¼” flap on the front of your card, which when closed forms 2 ½” of stripes on the right side of your card. Take one of the blue with peaches pieces and adhere to the left side of the front of your card going under the blue stripe flap. Adhere the other to the inside left of your card.
Find your blue ink which is listed as Balmy Blue, but I didn’t have that so I used Marina Mist and stamped off to lighten it. Take your circle and your blue ink and stamp the “Have a Peachy day” from the Sweet as a Peach stamp set to the lower right side of the circle. Adhere your two cut out peaches to the left side of the circle around your greeting. Then use three of the orange sequins from the Artistry Bloom Adhesive-Backed Sequins around the blank area. Adhere to the front of your blue stripe front flap. Use some of the blue sequins from the Artistry Bloom Adhesive-Backed Sequins randomly on the blue stripes.
Use your “To a sweet friend” greeting stamp from Sweet as a Peach stamp set and your blue ink and stamp on the upper white portion of the inside of your card.
This gives you an adorable card to let a friend know you care.

I finally made a bandstand style card, as it has been on my list to try but was waiting for something that seemed like it fit well. The Fine Art Floral that had the matching Golden Garden transparent designer series paper from Stampin’ Up a few years ago seemed like the perfect fit as the Golden Garden paper lines up to match with the Fine Art Floral paper.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
Crushed Curry card stock
White card stock
Fine Art Floaral designer series paper (retired Stampin’ Up)
Golden Garden transparent designer series paper (retired Stampin’ Up)
Art Gallery stamps and dies (retired Stampin’ Up)
Crushed Curry ink (Stampin’ Up)
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
I used Crushed Curry but it isn’t one of the colors listed, looks like it is So Saffron but I couldn’t find a piece of that. This card is actually pretty quick to make, a bit of cutting but not really any stampings, so just cut and put together.
With your Crushed Curry card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 5 ½ and score at 1 1/8” and 3 1/8” and fold both sides to the front. The cut another two pieces to 1 ¼” x 4 ¾” scored at ¼”, 1 3/8”, 3 3/8” and 4 ½” and fold all to the back. With your white card stock cut a piece to 1 7/8” x 5 3/8” for the back of your card.
From the Fine Art Floral designer series paper of and the piece that has the floral and white space in the upper left that matches up with the piece of Golden Garden transparent designer series paper. You will want to cut the same sections of each so they line up, cut each to 3 7/8” x 5 3/8” and cut 1” off of each side of both pieces. Then find the yellow design piece of paper and cut two pieces to 1 1/8” x 3 7/8” and then cut 1” off of each side, keeping them aligned together.
Take your three pieces of floral paper and adhere to the front three panels of your card base. Take the two outside pieces of your Golden Garden and adhere to each side of the back of your card base, and adhere the white piece to the back. Use a general birthday greeting stamp to the upper center of your white piece in Crushed Curry ink. I used a stamp greeting that says “wishing you the best today and always.”
Take your two Crushed Curry stripes and adhere the yellow designer series paper pieces to the three sections of each. Adhere the Golden Garden to the back of one of the yellow stripe center sections, leaving about 1/16” and then adhere to the other piece. Adhere all four ¼” tabs to the front of your card base.
With a spare piece of white card stock and Crushed Curry ink stamp the “Happy Birthday” greeting from the Art Gallery stamp set and use the long postage edge die to cut it out. I did cut it twice, closer on one end to short it and the lined up and cut off the other end. Adhere onto a small piece of Crushed Curry and adhere to the lower front.
This was a quick fun card to make, not sure why I waited so long to try making one.

I have been working on this one for a bit trying to get it planned out the way I wanted it. I have created this card to lay flat and fit into a standard 4 ½” x 5 ¾” envelop. With measurement it isn’t as hard as it looks, just some time to die cut flowers and leaves. This pop-up envelope full of flowers get well card is cheerful and will brighten anyone’s day.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
Card stock (All Stampin’ Up colors)
Pool Party
Lemon Lolly
Daffodil Delight
Peach Pie
Powder Pink or Pretty in Pink
Old Olive
Mossy Meadow
Floral Impression designer series paper
Impressions Abloom dies
Small tag die
Mini Mates stamp set (retired Stampin’ Up)
SSC 1221 stamp set (Stampendous)
Pool Party ink (Stampin’ Up)
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Corner Punch
Adhesive of choice
With your Pool Party card stock cut a piece to 5 3/4” x 8 ½” and along the 8 ½” length score at 1 ¾”, 2 ½”, 6” and 6 ¾”, then turn and score the length of the 8 ½” at 3”. Along the 8 ½” long score mark take a pair of scissors and cut from each edge in 2 ½” leaving your center section uncut. The cut down the 2 ¾” part to leave just the center section. On each of your 1 ¾” sides, mark down ¾” and cut on a angle. On your single center section, mark the top at 1 ¾” center and cut your angles to form your envelope flap. Use a corner punch to round the top of the flap.
Now still with your Pool Party card stock cut a piece to 2” x 3 ½”, mark your 3 ½” length at 1 ¾” and angle from each edge to form a triangle. Cut another piece to 3” x 4” and score on the 4” side at ¼” and 3 ¾” and another piece to 2 ½” x 4” and score on the 4” side at ¼” and 3 ¾”. Now from the Floral Impressions designer series paper find the Pool Party piece with the dotted circles and cut two pieces to 1 ½” x 3” and angle mark down ¾” and cut the angle, and then cut the opposite angle to the second piece. Cut another piece to 2” x 3 1/4” and angle into a triangle and use the corner round to cut the top. Cut one last piece to for the back flap to 2 ½” x 3 ¼” and angle into a triangle for the top back flap and use a corner rounder to match. These last two cuts are different than the picture shows as I had to adjust as I went.
Adhere the top back flap designer series paper to the flap. Fold your scores all inward. Adhere to two angled side designer series paper pieces to each side. Now take your 3 ½” x 4” piece and fold your scored sides down. Adhere each side to the inside section of your card with the fold pushed all the way to the back leaving a ¼” gap between the back of the card and the section. Then do the same with the 2 ½” x 4” piece, pushing the scored flaps to the first section leaving another ¼” gap. Adhere the other triangle designer series paper to the Pool Party triangle and then adhere one side to the bottom of one of the angel sides and then to the other to hold your pop-up box together. Having the open bottom allows you to be able to fold your envelope flat to put into an envelope.
Next let’s cut some flowers. With the Impressions Abloom dies use the daisy looking die and center cut die to cut four pink flower from your Powder Pink or Pretty in Pink card stock and four flower centers from Daffodil Delight with the smaller size center die and the decorative center die. Cut three of the single stems from the Old Olive card stock and build your flowers, leaving one without a stem.
Now from your Peach Pie card stock and your smaller flower die and the center impression die and cut five along with five centers from the Daffodil Delight card stock but without the center impression die, adhere centers to the flowers (set one flower aside for the back of your card).
With your Lemon Lolly card stock and the small half flower double die cut four sets (eight total) and with your Daffodil Delight cut four of the large half flower. With Old Olive cut one single and two of the double stems. With three of your large half flowers arrange and adhere two of the small yellow half flowers to the back to form a full two-color flower. With the two small flowers tear a section of the one large flower to form your two small flowers. Add the single stem to one of the large and use one large and one small on the two double stems, and then cut them apart so you can use them separately.
From some scrap Pool Party and the dainty small 3-flower dies cut enough to fill three double stems with 3-5 flowers on each stem, to your liking. Cut these stems into individual stems as well.
Now with your Old Olive and your two matching leaf dies cut 5 sets to use randomly and with the Mossy Meadow and the four-leaf die cut three of those to use (set one of the individual leaves aside with your peach flower for the back of your card).
Arrange the flowers to your liking on the three different levels leaving one pink, one peach, and three of the individual leave for the front. Adhere these to the front once you have arranged and adhered all the others.
With your “Get Well Soon” stamp from the Mini Mates stamp set from Stampin’ Up and with the Pool Party ink stamp on a piece of Lemon Lolly and use a small tag die to cut it out. Adhere to the front of your card.
For the back of your card cut a piece of Lemon Lolly to 2 ¾” x 3 ¼”. Adhere the Peach Pie flower and leaf you set aside in the lower left corner. Use your Pool Party ink and the “A bouquet . . . to celebrate you!” greeting from the SSC 1221 Stampendous stamp set and stamp in the upper center. Adhere to the back of your card.
You have created a beautiful get well card to have for when needed.

I like the style of the book binding fold cards and the Textured Chic designer series paper from Stampin’ Up is one of my favorite packs of paper. The Painted Posies embossing folder is really pretty as well, so I used some of the white core card stock and then sanded it down a bit so that the embossed outline is white on the petal pink paper and then just colored in the flowers.
With a piece of Petal Pink card stock, cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 4 ¼” and 5 ½”. From the Petal Pink white core card stock cut two pieces to 3 ¾” x 3 ¾”. From the Texture Chic designer series paper pack, find the piece that is pink and orange with the diagonal design, cut two pieces to 4” x 4” and a third to 1” x 4”.
Take one of your 3 ¾” x 3 ¾” Petal Pink white core pieces and emboss with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder. With your Petal Pink Dark Stampin’ Blends market color in the flowers. Use a sanding block (nail sanding blocks work well) and sand over the top to show the white core of the embossed design. Add three of the brass butterflies around the embossed design.
Use adhesive, I would probably recommend glue, to adhere the 1 ¼” binding to the back of the card. Cut two pieces of ribbon and cross in the middle and adhere to each end of the 1” x 4” designer series paper piece. Adhere that to the front of the book binding part of the card. Adhere the embossed piece to one of the 4” x 4” designer series paper pieces and then adhere that to the front of your card.
Use the “Happy Birthday” stamp from the Magnolia Mood stamp set and stamp on the other piece of Petal Pink white core card stock. Adhere that to the other piece of designer series paper and adhere that to the inside of your card.
That gives you this pretty book binding birthday card.

This angled window card made with the Toadstool Gardens designer series paper is very cute and while I am not usually a brights fan, this paper pack has won my heart. It took a bit of playing with to get it to work but was so worth it.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
Melon Mambo card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Toadstool Gardens designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Mixed Labels stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
Square dies, largest measuring about 1 ¼” and then the next size down
Square dies, largest measuring about 1 ¾” and then the next size up
Melon Mambo ink (Stampin’ Up)
Melon Mambo Ribbon (Stampin’ Up)
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
With your Melon Mambo cut a card base to 5 ½” x 11” and score at 3 ¼” and 7 5/8”. On the inside right panel make a mark down 1 ¼” and at the bottom mark in from the first score mark 1 5/8”. With your paper trimmer place the first score mark at the cutting edge and angle down to the 1 ¼” mark and cut the angle. Then from the bottom 1 5/8” mark up to the point from your first cut and cut your second angle, which gives you your front panel angles. For the left panel, mark down 1” and cut an angle from the left score mark to your 1” mark. Take the larger of the two square dies and angle it along your angles of the front panel and cut a hole about ¼” in from each side.
Grab your Toadstool Gardens designer series paper pack and find the multi-color dot paper, a piece of the wavy paper and also the paper that has the little flowers on it. With the multi-color dot paper, cut two piece to 3 1/8” x 5 ¼”. Take one piece and mark down 1 ¼” on the dot side and in from the right side on the bottom mark at 1 ½” and then cut your angles and adhere to the front right panel of your card. On the second dot piece, mark down 1” on the left side and cut the angle down.
I think the easiest way to line up your box for the back panel is to align your paper on the front of the panel and close the front panel onto it and then use a pencil to lightly draw your box, and then use the same bigger square die and cut the hole. Then adhere it to the front of the left panel. Now with some white card stock cut out a smaller square and adhere that in the center of the left panel square cutout. With the floral designer series paper you pulled out, cut out one of the flowers and adhere that to your white square so you see it through the front panel when closed.
Take the white piece of card stock you cut and adhere that to the inside of your card. With your Mixed Labels stamp set and your Melon Mambo ink and stamp the “I’m so glad we’re friends” greeting on a spare piece of white card stock and cut out with a 1 ¾” square and then cut the next size up die out of Melen Mambo card stock. Adhere the white greeting to the Melon Mambo and then to the inside of your card.
For your belly band cut a piece of Melon Mambo card stock to 1” x 9 ½”, loosely fold this over your card side and meet in the back and adhere the ends together. Now cut a piece of the wavy designer series paper to ¾” x 4 ¼” and adhere to your adhered ends side to hide your ends. Then wrap the belly band with ribbon and tie a not and trim ends.
You have now created the Toadstool Gardens Angled Window card and it wasn’t so bad, when you have directions.
