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.

Beautiful Gallery Floral Vase Thinking of You Card

No Comments

I used this lovely artistic roses in a vase paper from the Beautiful Gallery suite from Stampin’ Up to make this beautifully embossed card.  I embossed the whole image which makes it look even more like a painting. 

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

  • Secret Sea card stock (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
  • Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Beautiful Gallery designer series paper (2025-26 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Gallery Blooms stamp set (Stam2025-26 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Beautiful Motifs stamp set (2025-26 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • VersaMark Ink
  • Copper Clay ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Clear embossing powder
  • Heat gun
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From your Secret Sea card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half.  With your white card stock cut a piece to 4 3/16” x 5 7/16”.  Cut a piece of Basic Beige to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” for the inside of your card.  Take your Beautiful Gallery designer series paper and find the roses in a vase piece.  Trim it down to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” which basically just trims the edge of the rose on each side. 

Take your trimmed roses piece and put onto a piece of scrap paper.  With your VersaMark ink, ink up the whole piece of paper and then cover in clear embossing power, then tap off the excess and use your heat gun to melt the embossing powder to a clear finish.  Adhere this (I suggest with a lot of adhesive all over as it bubbles a bit which you can see with mine) to your piece of white card stock and then to the front of your card base. 

Take a white piece of scrap paper and stamp in Copper Clay in the “Thinking of You” greeting from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set.  Trim around your greeting for form a strip about ½” wide.  Trim a scrap strip of Secret Sea card stock to 5/8”.  Trim the end of each with a pair of scissors to form your banner end and then adhere together and trim off the flat end at about 2 ¼” and adhere to the front lower left side of your card front.

For the inside of your card the white seemed awfully bright, so I used Basic Beige.  Take your Basic Beige piece and your Copper Clay ink and stamp the “I’m here for you always” greeting from Beautiful Motifs in the upper center and then from the Gallery Blooms stamp set use the small bouquet of roses stamp and stamp in the lower left corner.  Adhere to the inside of your card. 

This is such a beautiful artsy card that I can’t wait to give to someone.
