This dainty floral-patterned paper from the Peaceful Garden designer series paper from Stampin’ up seemed like the perfect paper for this birds on a branch die. I think it turned out adorable, loving it.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
Secret Sea card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Wisteria Wonder card stock (retired Stampin’ UP)
White card stock
Peaceful Garden designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Birds on a Branch die (unknown)
Impressions Abloom dies (Stampin’ Up)
Birthday stamps (unknown)
Wisteria Wonder ink (retired Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Take a piece of Secret Sea card stock and cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half. Cut another piece to 1” x 3”. The dainty floral piece of designer series paper seemed more purple than Misty Moonlight and Cloud Cover so I used Wisteria Wonder, but you could use Cloud Cover as well. From the Wisteria Wonder card stock cut two pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and another to 7/8” x 2 7/8”. From the white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and another to ¾” x 2 ¾”. Then from the Peaceful Garden designer series paper pack find the dainty floral piece and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.
With one piece of the Wisteria Wonder adhere it to the front of your Secret Sea card stock and then adhere the dainty floral piece to that. With a spare piece of Secret Sea cut two of the birds on a branch die, and then again with a spare piece of Wisteria Wonder. Cut the birds off the one of the Wisteria Wonder pieces and adhere over one of the Secret Sea birds. With the second piece of Secret Sea birds on a branch you cut, cut off the left end leaving 3 leaves to the front of the bird and then cut that bird off the second Wisteria Wonder birds and adhere to this branch. Then with a spare piece of white card stock and the two small flowers dies from the Impressions Abloom dies and cut six white flowers. Adhere five of the white flowers to the full birds on a branch set and the sixth flower on the small one.
Adhere to full birds on a branch that you created to the front of your card. Then with the ¾” x 2 ¾” white piece and a “Birthday Wishes” greeting stamp and Wisteria Wonder ink, stamp the greeting. Adhere the white piece to the Wisteria Wonder piece and then to the Secret Sea piece and adhere to the lower right corner of your card.
For the inside of your card, stamp the “I can’t think of a nicer person to celebrate!” stamp with Wisteria Wonder ink toward the top center. Adhere your smaller bird on a branch piece to the lower left corner. Adhere this to the Wisteria Wonder and then to the inside of your card.
You now have the birds on a branch card made with Peaceful Garden.

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 finally got the Layers of Beauty bundle, I am not sure why I didn’t have it already. I made this anniversary card which is great to have a set to do something different. Using the masks was a lot of fun and it adds a layer of elegance.

With the white cards stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 8 ½”, folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and two pieces to 3 ¾” x 5”. From the Impressions Abloom designer series paper, find the Darling Duckling grid paper and cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”.
With a spare piece of white card stock and your Black StazOn ink, stamp the large three roses stamp twice. Gather up your three yellow inks and Wild Wasabi ink, a blending brush and your masks. With Mask #1 align over your stamped roses and use either washi tape or a Post-It note to hold in place. Then use your Darling Duckling ink and rub your blending brush around on your ink pad and then swirl around on a spare piece of paper to get the ink lightened and then swirl across your mask to color in a portion of the roses. Do the same process with mask #2 and the Daffodil Delight ink and then mask #3 and the Crushed Curry ink. Now with mask #4 and the Wild Wasabi ink put a light layer on the leaves and with mask #5 I used Wild Wasabi ink again but as a second layer and a little darker to highlight the leaves. Use the large die to cut the rose grouping out. Follow the same process for the second set which you will be using the large rose and the small rose individually. Use the large rose die to cut out that rose individually and then cut out the small rose with a pair of scissors.
On a scrap piece of white cards stock find the “Happy Anniversary” stamp from the Layers of Beauty stamp set and stamp with your Black StazOn. Use a smaller label die to cut out and then with a larger label die cut a piece of the Darling Ducking grid designer series paper and layer the labels.
Take on of the Darling Duckling grid paper pieces you cut and adhere to the front of your white card base. Then adhere one of the white cut pieces to the front of that. Now with your full rose set that you colored and cut out, align where you would like it, I did cut off a few leaves to make it fit the way I wanted. Take the large colored and cut out rose and align that to the upper right to fill in the rest. Now adhere your layered label in the lower right corner. Take a few of the yellow opal embellishments and sprinkle around to your liking.
With the remaining piece of Darling Duckling grid paper and adhere to the inside of your card and then the piece of white card stock to that. Adhere the small rose you cut out in the lower left corner and then find the “you make my heart smile” stamp and stamp to the upper center with your Black StazOn.
There you are, you have an elegant anniversary card for someone you love or for a couple celebrating an anniversary.

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.
