Painterly Pears Green Themed Friend Card

This layered card turned out so cute, I still am in love with this Painterly Pears designer series paper and the Perfectly Pears stamp and dies set from Stampin’ Up. 

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

  • Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Painterly Pears designer series paper (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Perfectly Pears stamp set and dies (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Traditional Label Dies (August 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Corner rounder punch
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scissors
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

With a piece of Old Olive card stock cut your card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Cut another piece to 2 ¼” x 4 5/8”.  From a piece of white card stock cut a piece for the inside of your card to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From the Painterly Pears designer series paper find the Old Olive Leaf piece and cut to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From the white paper with pear edges cut one of the edge pieces to 2” x 4 3/8”.  Use your corner rounder punch to round the four corners of each piece you just cut, including your card base. 

From some of the spare pear paper cut out one of the single reddish pears and one of the green double pears with a pair of scissors.  From a spare piece of white card stock stamp “A good friend is a gift” from the Perfectly Pears stamp set and stamp in Old Olive ink  Use the smaller decorative oval from Traditional Label dies to cut out the stamped white piece and the larger oval to cut out a piece of Old Olive card stock and also one of the branches with leaves dies.   

Adhere your green leaf designer series paper piece to the front of your card base.  Then adhere your white pear designer series paper piece to the Old Olive piece and adhere to the front of your card about ½” down from the top and about ¾” in from the left.  Then adhere your white oval label to the green one.  Tear up the sections of the leaves you cut and adhere around the back of your label for decoration, leaving one section to adhere to the lower right corner of your label.  Adhere your reddish pear you cut out with those last leaves in the lower right corner of the label.  Now adhere your label slightly below the middle on the right side of the front of your card. 

On the inside of your card adhere your white piece of card stock to the inside and adhere the double green pears you cut out to the lower left corner of the white piece.  Use the “So grateful” greeting from the Soft Seedlings stamp set and stamp on the upper center of the inside of your card in Old Olive ink.

I think this card is just so lovely, anyone would be so thrilled to receive it in the mail letting them know you are grateful for their friendship.
