Impressions Abloom Easel Card

I was excited to use this new Stampin’ Up Online Exclusive set called Impressions Abloom suite.  It uses a few of the new In Colors, this card is made with the new Strawberry Slush In Color.  I am already in love with this new color as it isn’t pale but it also isn’t really bright. 

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

  • Strawberry Slush card stock (Stampin’ Up 2025-2027 In Colors)
  • White card stock
  • Vellum
  • Floral Impressions designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Impressions Abloom stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Strawberry Slush ink (Stampin’ Up 2025-2027 In Colors)
  • Strawberry Slush and Pretty In Pink Gems
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scissors
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

To start this card you need to take your Strawberry Slush card stock and cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 11”, folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  From your Floral Impressions designer series paper, find the Strawberry Slush floret piece that has the small florals on the other side which is needed as well.  Cut two pieces of this paper to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Adhere the Strawberry Slush floret piece to the front of your card base, make sure you only put adhesive around the edges as you will have to be able to slide your vellum piece in.  Use your scoring board or scoring blade and score the front portion in half, scored at 2 ¾” and folded.  Now take the other oval die that has the dotted edge, cut an oval in the middle of your card front.  Keep both of the edge pieces. 

With your white card stock cut and oval with the Impressions Abloom dies oval without the decorative dots.  With your vellum cut a piece to 3 3/8” x 4 ½”, then with the same oval die cut halfway down leaving the bottom portion in tacked.   Cut the top portion of the vellum outside. 

 The hardest part is to then get your card stock and Strawberry Slush card front to split apart so you can insert the piece of vellum in between them.  Get the vellum inserted and centered.  Take the Strawberry Slush dotted oval edge from when you cut your front ovel and adhere to the vellum, inserting it into your oval with the front laying flat so it is all lined up.  Then take the Strawberry Slush floret piece and adhere to the back of your vellum oval. 

Now from your Floral Impressions designer series paper pack find the piece that has all the different florals from the pack on one and with the two pinks on the left side cut out three different larger flowers with stems, three of the lighter pink daisy flowers and three of the small Strawberry Slush flowers (or you can use stamps and dies to cut out flowers from the Impressions Abloom dies if you prefer not to have to “fussy cut” the flowers like I did).  Arrange these around your oval on the front of your card for decoration.

For the inside of your card take the floral piece you cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the inside of your card.  Then take the white card stock oval and the “Thanks” and “so very much” stamps and stamp them centered on the oval.  Put adhesive on the back of your oval and put it into the oval from your card base (behind the vellum) to align and then close your card on to it.  Now add three of the smaller Strawberry Slush embellishments below your greeting for the folded card front to be able to stand against.  

You now have a great card to give to someone you appreciate for what they do for you.

  • A die for the window
  • A die with a scalloped or decorative edge
  • Pool Party ink

With the Pool Party card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 11” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Cut another piece to 3” x 4 ¼” and score it at every half inch and accordion fold it.  Cut a piece of white card stock to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Get a piece of the cake designer series paper from the Wildflower Birthday pack and cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”.   Also get one of the balloon cutouts from the Wildflower Birthday pack.

Take your card base and the two pieces of cut cake paper.  Adhere one of the cake pieces to the front of the card and take the second piece and flip it over to the striped side and adhere that to the inside of the card. 

Get your die to cut out the front window of the card, make sure it is sized to show the balloons through it and cut it out.  Take a scalloped or decorative die and cut a piece long enough to cover your front cut out and about 2” high and score at ½” from the top and fold.  Adhere the half inch portion to the top edge of the striped designer series paper.  Align your balloons in the window and adhere to the white folded piece.  Trim the bottom of the ballons to the bottom of the striped paper.  Now take your according piece and adhere one side to the back bottom of your card with the accordion folds pointing up.  Adhere the bottom of your balloons to the front of the middle accordion fold so that it will be at the middle level.  Then adhere the front of the accordion fold piece to the back of the front flap of the card.

Irresistible Blooms Bridge Tower Card

This is the first time I have made a tower card and it took me a little bit of playing.  My instructions will be correct, though my card is a half an inch too long to fit into a standard envelope.  I haven’t use the Irresistible Blooms suite in a while and I forgot how beautiful the paper is. 

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

  • Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Hello, Irresistible designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Irresistible Blooms dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Decaled Circle dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Daffodil Delight ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

With the Petal Pink card stock cut two pieces 4 ¼” x 4 ½”, and score along the 4 ½” side at 1”, 2”, 3”, 4” for your towers.  Cut another piece to 3” x 4 ¼” scored at ½” and 2 ½” for the center. 

From the Hello, Irresistible designer series paper pack, find the piece that has the flowers on the front you can cut out with dies that is the lighter piece with the petal pink and daffodil delight colors and on the back has the same colors with a triangle design.  Then also a piece that is just the Petal Pink and Daffodil Delight and then also a piece with white leaf designs. 

With one piece on the triangle side cut 6 pieces to ¾” x 4”.  With the plain Petal Pink and Daffodil Delight piece cut two pieces to 2 ¼” x 4”. 

Now take your two Decaled Circle dies, the larger should be about 3 ½” or so and then the next smaller one.  With the larger cut two Petal Pink and with the smaller one cut one with the white leaf designer series paper piece and one from white card stock.  Also use the three decorative leaf dies and cut 5 different leaves.  Take the two flower dies and cut out one large flower from the designer series paper and two of the smaller size. 

Now let’s start assembling.  Take the two pieces of Petal Pink cut to 4 ¼” x 4 ½” scored and your 6 pieces of designer series paper with the triangles and adhere three to one piece in the three 1” sections from the ½” side and then put adhesive on the ½” section and form your tower.  Do the same with the other tower. 

Take the Petal Pink piece you cut for the center and adhere the two pieces of designer series paper to each side.  Put adhesive on both ½” side and adhere each tower, centering your center on each tower.  Take one of your Petal Pink Decaled Circles and the circle with the white leaves and adhere to the Petal Pink circle, making sure the leaves don’t hang down too far).  Take the one large flower and one of the small flowers you cut and with pop dots adhere to the bottom of the circle and adhere three leaves for decoration. 

With the Irresistible Bloom stamp set and the Daffodil Delight ink stamp on a spare piece of white stamp the “Hello” greeting and use an appropriate size label die to cut it out.  Use pop dots to adhere to your Decaled Circle above the flowers.  Put some adhesive on the center of both of your towers and fold down so it is lying flat and adhere your decaled circle with the flowers at the bottom. 

Now take your second Decaled Petal Pink circle and the white one and adhere together.  With the Irresistible Blooms  stamp set and the Daffodil Delight ink stamp the “I Couldn’t be happier to have you as my friend” greeting.  Take the second small flower and adhere with pop dots and then add the two leaves. 

You now have a lovely card to send to a friend to let them know you are thinking of them.

Mixed Floral Z-Fold Pop-Up Card

This is a z-fold card, but with a pop-up twist, so there is a middle layer that pops up when you start to open the card.  I love the colors, I saw someone else use them for a card so I decided to use the colors to make this style card. 

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

  • Pretty in Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Mixed Floral designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Jet Black Staz-On ink
  • Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’ Up)
    • Pretty in Pink Light
    • Pretty in Pink Dark
    • Mint Macaroon Dark
    • Lemon Lolly Light
    • Lemon Lolly Dark
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With the Pretty in Pink card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” then score at 2 1/8 and 4 ¼” and fold the card in half and the fold the front quarter forward to form your z-fold.  Cut another piece with the Pretty in Pink to 2 ¾” x 4 ¼”.  With your white card stock cut a piece to 2” x 4 1/8”, one to 4 3/8” x 4 5/8” and a third piece to 2 5/8” x 4 1/8” and lastly one to 2 ½” x 3” scored at ½”, 1 ¼” and 2”.   With the black floral designer series paper from the Mixed Floral designer series paper pack.  Cut a piece to 4 x 5 ¼” and a second to 1 7/8” x 4”.

Take the coneflower stamp from the Mixed Florals set and the Jet Black Staz-On ink and stamp on to a spare piece of white card stock.  Color the leaves with the Mint Macaroon dark Stampin’ Blends, the dainty flowers and large flower centers with the Lemon Lolly light and dark Stampin’ Blends and the large flowers with the light and dark Pretty in Pink Stampin Blends.  With the white piece measuring 2 5/8” x 4 1/8” and stamps from the Mixed Labels stamp set stamp the dainty flower stamp once or twice in the lower left corner and the “I’m so glad we’re friends” greeting in the upper left corner. 

Now let’s assemble the card.  Adhere the white piece of card stock measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” to the back of the card, and the black floral piece measuring 4” x 5 ¼” to the white card stock piece. 

With the 2 ½” x 3” scored piece, fold into a square.  Put adhesive on the top of the right side of ½” part.  Fold in half with the glue half down, line up with the middle fold so it will lay flat with card closed.  The put adhesive on the upper ½” section and fold card onto it again making sure it all lays flat.  Take the Pretty in Pink piece and adhere your stamped white piece to it.  Put adhesive on the top of your box piece and adhere this greeting piece to it centered. 

Take the last white piece and adhere the black floral piece to that and adhere to the front of the card.  Glue your large colored flowers to the front with it partially hanging of toward the center and making sure your greeting is covered. 

That gives you the pop-up z-fold card in these lovely pops of pink with the black background.

Love Cats Circle Flap Card

Anyone who knows me knows I love cats, and I have been trying to design this card in my head for a while as I wanted to do a layered card but that let you see all the cats even when the card was closed.  I finally sat down and played with it yesterday and this was the result, and I was really happy with it.    

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

  • White card stock
  • Copper Clay Stripe and Heart designer series paper (Stampin’ Up 2023-24 In Color)
  • Love Cats stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Two circle dies
  • Copper Clay ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Basic Black Ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Copper Clay Stampin’ Blends or Stampin’ Marker (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

With your Copper Clay card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ¼” and score at 1 ¾”, 2 ¾”, 4 ¼” and 5 ¼”.  With your white card stock cut three pieces to 2 5/8” x 5 1/8”.  With the striped designer series paper cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 3”.  With the heart copper clay designer series paper cut two to 2 ¾” x 5 3/8”. 

Take your three pieces of white card stock you cut, the Love Cats stamps and the Basic Black ink.  Stamp the hanging cat on one piece at the top.  With the cat flipped, stamp that in the lower right corner of the second piece.  On the third piece stamp the laying cat about 2 ¼” (top of back) down.  With the laying cat piece take scissors and cut the bottom out below the ledge so the paws and tail hanging off the ledge are cut out. 

Take the hanging cat layer and adhere it to one of the heart pieces of paper.  With the larger circle die cut out a partial circle at the bottom to show the flipped cat.  Adhere this to the middle section of your card base.  For the top layer, alight the striped piece where it would go on the top layer of your card base and flip upside down and with a pencil draw on the back side of the striped paper where the circle needs to be and then use that to line the circle die up and cut that circle out.  Now adhere the white upper portion with the laying cat to the top of that making sure it measures a height of 5 3/8”.  Lay your larger circle die upside down over the hanging cat, align your top layer where it would adhere on the top level and find where to cut the upper partial circle out of the top layer and cut out. 

Now for the lower layer with the flipped cat, take both circle dies and align as above in the upper left corner, making sure you are leaving enough room for the inside circle to stamp the “I love hanging out with you” greeting, and cut out both circles together.  Adhere the lower part with the cat onto your last heart designer series paper piece.  Then align your upper corner and adhere that.  With the  “I love hanging out with you” greeting and your Copper Clay ink, stamp your greeting.  Adhere this to the back or your card base. With the Copper Clay marker color in the open hearts on each of your stamped images.

You now have the Love Cats flap card to give so someone you love spending time with.  I am absolutely in love with this card and so happy with how it turned out after spending so much time trying to figure it out in my head.

With You in Mind Hexagon Card

The fun and easy Hexagon card is just adorable.  I love this striped piece of paper from the Mixed Medial Florals designer series paper pack from Stampin’ Up.

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

  • Peach Pie card stock
  • White card stock
  • Mixed Media Florals Stamp Set
  • With You in Mind Stamp Set
  • Sentimental Park dies
  • Triangle die or sciscors
  • Peach Pie ink
  • Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
  • Paper trimmer
  • Pencil
  • Adhesive of choice

With your Peach Pie card stock cut a 5 ½” x 8 ½” card base and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Cut two pieces of white card stock 4” x 5 ¼” and then a piece of the peach striped designer series paper from the Stampin’ Up Mixed Media Florals pack and cut it to 3 ¾” x 5”. 

Now let’s get our hexagon edges created.  On the 4 ¼” ends of your Peach Pie card base lightly mark the center with a pencil and then with a triangle die (mine are triangle nested dies from InLove Arts) align the point to that center and make it look even at each point on your edges then cut in about an inch, you don’t want to go too far or you will cut the rest of the triangle into your card.  Repeat on the other end.  If you don’t have a triangle die you can just cut to your center mark with scissors. 

On both of your white pieces turn upside down and lay a cut end of your card base on, push out toward one end about ¼” and with your pencil draw the same shape onto you white then push out to the other end and do the same, cut those ends.  Then with your white cut piece do the same to your Peach Pie striped piece.  Now adhere the white to the front of your Peach Pie card base and the striped piece to the front of that. 

With a scrap piece of your Peach Pie card stock cut out the floral label die from the Sentimntal Park dies retired from Stampin’ Up and cut a label.  With a scrap piece of White card stock cut the insert label.  Insert your white label into your Peach Pie floral label and adhere.  Take your With You In Mind stamps from Stampin’ Up and use the “Best Wishes” greeting and your Peach Pie ink and stamp “Best Wishes” on your label.  Adhere your label, centered, on the front of your card. 

Now take your second white piece and adhere inside of your card.  With a scrap piece of Peach Pie card stock cut another floral label and cut off the floral ends and use to decorate each side point of your card as shown below. 

That is it, you have made this cute and easy hexagon card.

Side Tower Pop-Up Flower Vase Card

I have been wanting to make one of these Side Tower pop up card but it took me a bit to figure out what I wanted to use the make it and then I remembered the vase and flower dies I got from the Spellbinders Advent Calendar 2024 and decided that would be perfect for this card along with the Countryside Inn designer series paper would go perfect with it.  I received the Spellbinders Advent Calendar from one of my close friends and it was so much fun and there were so many wonderful dies, sequins, stamps and stencils (24 days worth), I had a blast opening it each morning.

Take your Boho Blue card base that is 4 ¼” x 9 ¼” and fold all of your small pieces scored upwards for form your pop up tower to the right side of your card.  With one of your floral pieces adhere that to the front 4 1/4 “ x 5 ½” part of the card.  Take the three strips of the dark blue designer series paper and adhere to each of the folds on the back side, then adhere your ¼” end piece to the front of your card, forming your tower on the left.  Make sure when you go to adhere the ¼” strip you fold the square down flat so your are sure your card will fold flat properly. 

Now take the other scored piece of Boho Blue and fold the scores down.  Adhere the dark blue designer series paper to the center of the large portion and the white one stamped with the “Wishing You Ridiculous Amounts of Happiness to the center of that.  Put adhesive on the ¼” strip and fold both scored section in and align to the right side of your card so that you know that is aligned to not go over the edge when your card is folded flat.  Then fold both sections down and adhere the other end to your tower. 

With one of the flowers, put an embellishment in the center of one of the full flowers and adhere it to the right lower corner of the front top of your card.  Then adhere your other two flowers to the two stems and add the leaves to the stems as well.  Adhere to the upper left of the front of your tower and then adhere your vase over the stems. 

For the back of your card, adhere the other piece of floral paper.  Adhere your white stamped piece to the Night of Navy piece and adhere that to the center of the back.

That is the Side Tower Pop Up card made with the flowers and vase.
