No Comments

If you can’t tell from all my posts recently, this is one of my favorite sets from Stampin’ Up right now, the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper is so pretty and I absolutely love the floral stamps and dies in the Lovely Arragements set.  Then there is the Cloud Cover card stock which is one of my two favorite colors at the moment, second after Secret Sea.  Using all of these favorites to make a lovely thank you card.

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

  • Cloud Cover card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Lovely Blossoms designer series paper (January 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Lovely Arrangements stamp set and dies (January 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Cloud Cover ink (2025-27 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Secret Sea Stampin’ Write Marker (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From your Cloud Cover card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and a second piece to 3 ¼” x 4 ¾” and score this one at ½” along the short side.  From white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and another to 3 1/8” x 4 1/8”.  In the Lovely Blossom designer series paper find the Cloud Cover striped paper and the Cloud Cover with white flowers paper.  From the Cloud Cover striped paper cut two pieces to 1” x 4” and from the floral paper cut a piece to 3” x 4”, watching the direction of both pieces. 

Take your scored piece of Cloud Cover paper and adhere the ½” portion to the Cloud Cover card base, centered between each side.  Then adhere your white piece measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” centered on the card base for the inside of your card.  Now adhere each of the Cloud Cover striped pieces to each side on the white inside piece centered with the flap closed.  Adhere the other white piece you cut to the front of your flap and then the floral paper to the front of that. 

Take a scrap piece of white card stock and the two flower stamps from the Lovely Arrangement stamp set.  With one of the flower stamps, stamp in your Cloud Cover ink and then use your Secret Sea marker to color the center of the flower, then huff on the stamp to remoisten the Cloud Cover ink and stamp on your white card stock.  Do the same with the other flower.  Use the dies to cut each of these flowers out.  Then take a scrap piece of Old Olive card stock and cut out one of the two leaves dies and another of the single leaf die.  Stamp the “You are so lovely’ greeting on a scrap piece of white card stock in Cloud Cover ink and use the long label die to cut it out.  Adhere the two flowers at the bottom portion of the front of your flap, adhere the leaves behind the flowers to your liking and then adhere the label on an angle coming out of the top of the flowers, slightly hanging over the edge of the flap.

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.

Lovely Blossoms Muted Birthday Card

I am infatuated with this Lovely Blossoms designer series paper and Lovely Arrangement stamp set and dies from Stampin’ Up.  This card is a muted version with a hint of Cloud Cover blue birthday card with the pretty stamped and die cut flowers. 

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

  • Cloud Cover card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Lovely Blossoms designer series paper (January 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Lovely Arrangements stamp set and dies (January 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Crumb Cake ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Chocolate Chip Stampin’ Write Marker (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Old Olive Light Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’ Up)
  • Moody Palette Glossy Dots (January 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)

From Cloud Cover card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and cut another piece to 2 ¾” x 4 1/8”.  With the Crumb Cake card stock cut two pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and another piece to 2 5/8” x 4 1/8”.  Grab your Lovely Blossoms designer series paper and find the Crumb Cake piece with the small white flowers and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

Take the piece of Crumb Cake you cut to 2 5/8” x 4 1/8” and the die that cuts out the small florets and cut at one end and then you will have to cut another to finish the other end.  Now adhere this to the Cloud Cover background measuring 2 ¾” x 4 1/8”.  From a scrap piece of white card stock stamp one of each of the large flowers in Crumb Cake ink and then coloring the centers with your Chocolate Chip Stampin’ Write Marker and huff (blow warm air to remoisten ink) before stamping.  Also stamp two leaves in Crumb Cake ink and color them in with your Old Olive Light Stampin’ Blends, trying not to get too close to the stamped image as it will fade because of the ink used.  Cut all out with the appropriate dies.  Stamp the “Happy Birthday” greeting on to a small piece of white card stock in Crumb Cake ink and cut out a rectangle.  Adhere to a piece of Cloud Cover and hand cut a boarder. 

Adhere one of your pieces of 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” Crumb Cake card stock to the front of your Cloud Cover card base, then adhere to floral paper to the front of that.  Now adhere your strip you cut with the florets with the Cloud Cover background about ¾” in from the left side of your card.  Adhere your flowers in the lower left corner of your floret cut piece and add the leaves where you would like.  Then adhere your “Happy Birthday” greeting coming out of the flowers.  Add some of the Moody Palette Glossy Dot Cloud Cover embellishments around on your floret cut piece. 

For the inside adhere your piece of Crumb Cake card stock and then the piece of white card stock.  Stamp a birthday greeting in Crumb Cake ink, I am using an old Stampin’ Up greeting (don’t know what the name of the set was) that says “wishing you the best today and always!”.

A pretty card in light colors for those who aren’t in to really bright colors and it is a lovely birthday card as well.
