Memorable Blooms Window Card

March 5, 2025 No Comments

Using Blackberry Bliss and this lovely Bloom Impressions designer series paper from the 2025 Sale-a-bration make a rich and elegant card.

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

Blackberry Bliss card stock
White card stock
Bloom Impressions designer series paper from 2025 Sale-a-bration
Memorable Blooms stamp set and dies
Blackberry Bliss ink
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

Take your piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock and cut your card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to measure 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Also cut a piece to ¾” x 4”. Find the blackberry floral piece in the Bloom Impressions designer series paper pack from the 2025 Sale-a-bration pack. Cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼” and one piece to 3 ¾” x 5” and another to ½” x 4”. Take on of the 4” x 5 ¼” pieces using the plain non-floral side and the 3 ¾” x 5” piece with the floral side. Adhere the floral piece to the plain piece and then the plain piece to the front of your card base, but only putting adhesive along the outer edges so that you can use the cut out pieces from the window.

Take your outer octagon die and cut out your windows toward the top of your card front. Now take the blackberry bliss piece from your window cut out and cut out the floral die cut from the center of it. Now take the plain purple piece from the window cut out and adhere it to the back of the floral cut out. Grab the white piece of card stock you cut for the inside and adhere it on the inside. Put adhesive on the back of the floral piece, close your card front and adhere the floral piece into the windows so it is lined up when you open the card.

With your Blackberry Bliss ink and the two strips of white and purple, find the “you mean the world to me” stamp from the Memorable Blooms stamp set and stamp it onto the white strip. Adhere the white strip to the purple strip and adhere the purple strip centered at the bottom of your card front.

That is all it takes to make this elegant window card.

Thoughtful Journey Slant Front Card

March 2, 2025 No Comments

The paper in the Thoughtful Journey designer series paper pack from Stampin’ Up is so beautiful that it doesn’t need much help with decoration, it is the star of every card it is used on.

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

Petunia Pop card stock
Fresh Freesia card stock
Thoughtful Journey designer series paper
Memorable Blooms stamp set
Fresh Freesia ink
Brushed Brass Butterfies embellishments
Scoring board or scoring blade for your paper trimmer
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

With your Petunia Pop card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 10” and score at 5 ½”. Fold on the score mark. With the Fresh Freesia card stock cut a piece to 4” x 4 3/8” and a second piece to 4” x 5 ¼” for the inside. Then choose a piece of the Thoughtful Journey designer series paper that matches the card stock and cut to 3 ¾” x 4 1/8” and a piece to 1” x 3 ¾”. I choose the one with bunches of purple flowers, but you could also use one of the two thistle papers. Layer your Thoughful Journey piece on top of the smaller Fresh Freesia and then onto the shorter front piece of your card base, all aligned to the right end of the front and cut your slant so they will all align when you adhere them. Once cut, you can then adhere the Fresh Freesia to the Petunia Pop card front and the Thoughtful Journey piece on to that.

Take your inside piece of Fresh Freesia you cut earlier and adhere to the inside of your card. Now with the “Thanks so much” stamp from the Memorable Blooms stamp set from Stampin-Up and your Fresh Freesia ink and stamp your greeting in the upper right corner centering in the space. With your Brushed Brass Butterflies embellishments, adhere a few to the front of your card and one with your greeting. With the 1” x 3 ¾” piece of Thoughtful Journey paper, adhere that to the left side of the inside of your card for decoration.

Delightful Wishes Double Gate Fold Card

February 25, 2025 No Comments

Send some appreciation to someone with this bright and cheerful double gate fold card. This Delightful Wishes set is so beautiful and you can’t beat the Floral Delight designer series paper.

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

Daffodil Delight card stock
Lemon Lolly card stock
Crumb Cake card stock
White card stock
Floral Delight designer series paper
Delightful Wishes stamp set and dies
Memorable Blooms stamp set and dies
Limon Lolly ink
Daffodil Delight ink
Old Olive ink
Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
Paper trimmer
Bone folder
Adhesive of choice
Pop-Dots

With your Lemon Lolly card stock cut your card base to 5 ½” x 11” and score at 1 ¼”, 3 3/8”, 7 5/8” and 9 ¾” and fold up from the center and then out on the ends. Take a piece of White card stock and cut that to 3 ½” x 8 ¼” and score at 1 1/8”, 2 5/8”, 5 5/8” and 7 1/8” and fold the same with coming up from the center and out on the ends. Use a bone folder on all your fold edges to make sure they are folding flat. Then take your Daffodil Delight and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and two strips at 1” x 5 ¼”. With your floral delight designer series paper find the Forsythia paper and cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 5”.

Now take your Delight Wishes stamp set and dies and the Crumb Cake card stock and cut two sticks with the stick die. Get your Old Olive ink, White card stock and the double leave stamp and stamp and die cut out 5 of them. Take more White card stock, your Lemon Lolly ink and the solid Forsythia back group stamp and stamp three of these. Then change the stamp to the Forsythia detail stamp and with your Daffodil Delight ink and light up the stamp and stamp on the detail over the background stamped items that you stamped in Lemon Lolly. Use the Forsythia die and cut out the three sets of flowers. Arrange and adhere one set to each and two leaves to each of the sticks. Find your White scored piece of card stock for your inside and with your Memorable Blooms stamp set stamp “I appreciate your thoughtfulness” on the inside as a greeting and then decorate with the remaining set of Forsythia flowers and one last leaf. Take a spare piece of White card stock and your Old Olive ink and stamp “Thanks so much” from the same Memorable Blooms set and use the small label die from that set to cut it out.

Now it is time to put all the pieces together. Start with your Lemon Lolly card base and adhere the Daffodil Delight 4” x 5 1/4 “ piece to the center and then adhere the Forsythia designer series paper centered on the Daffodil Delight piece. Then take the scored white piece and adhere one side centered to the top fold on each side of your Lemon Lolly card base which leave it floating up about ¾” from the back of the card. Find your two 1” x 5 ¼” strips of Daffodil Delight and adhere that over the white and the other flaps on each side. Then take you Forsythia sticks and adhere to each side, making sure they are not hanging over in the middle so that the card can close. Adhere the “Thanks so much” label to the lower right flap.

There is the Double Gate Fold card. You may want to incorporate a ribbon in to tie at the front to help keep it closed, but I think it being open is the appeal of this card.
