Mixed Media Florals

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.

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.
