Pop-up Floral Envelope Get Well Card

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.

Wildflower Birthday Tent Pop-Up Card

This card is so fun and it’s easy to make and is a great birthday card for anyone. 

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

  • Pool Party card stock
  • White card stock
  • Wildflower Birthday specialty designer series paper
  • Delightful Wishes stamp and die set
  • A die for the window
  • A die with a scalloped or decorative edge
  • Pool Party ink
  • Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop-Dots

With the Pool Party card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 11” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Cut another piece to 3” x 4 ¼” and score it at every half inch and accordion fold it.  Cut a piece of white card stock to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Get a piece of the cake designer series paper from the Wildflower Birthday pack and cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”.   Also get one of the balloon cutouts from the Wildflower Birthday pack.

Take your card base and the two pieces of cut cake paper.  Adhere one of the cake pieces to the front of the card and take the second piece and flip it over to the striped side and adhere that to the inside of the card. 

Get your die to cut out the front window of the card, make sure it is sized to show the balloons through it and cut it out.  Take a scalloped or decorative die and cut a piece long enough to cover your front cut out and about 2” high and score at ½” from the top and fold.  Adhere the half inch portion to the top edge of the striped designer series paper.  Align your balloons in the window and adhere to the white folded piece.  Trim the bottom of the ballons to the bottom of the striped paper.  Now take your according piece and adhere one side to the back bottom of your card with the accordion folds pointing up.  Adhere the bottom of your balloons to the front of the middle accordion fold so that it will be at the middle level.  Then adhere the front of the accordion fold piece to the back of the front flap of the card. 

Take a spare piece of white card stock and your Pool Party ink and stamp the “wishing” stamp from the Delightful Wishes stamp set and use the wishing die to cut it out.  Then stamp the “you a happy birthday” and use the long label die to cut it out.  Adhere the “wishing” across the front of your opening angled up on the right.  Adhere the “you a happy birthday” across the bottom of your window.   

Take the white piece you cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the back of the card.  Add a few more decorative cut outs from the Wildflower Birthday designer series paper pack, I used one of the pink balloons and the small flowers.

I love this card, mainly as I love setting my cards out and the cards that are vertically cut tend to not stay standing very well, but the accordion bottom fixes that.  So cute as well.

Mixed Floral Z-Fold Pop-Up Card

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.

Nests of Winter Banner Pop-Up Card


The Winterly Tree Tops paper is so pretty and can take so much of the work out of making a card.  This card is the perfect example of that.    

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

  • Grey Granite card stock
  • White card stock
  • Nests of Winter designer series paper
  • Winterly Tree Tops stamp set
  • Grey Granite Ink
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop-Dots

With the Grey Granite card stock cut a card to 4 1/4” x 11” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Also cut a strip of Grey Granite to 1” x 11” scored at 2 ¾”, 5 ½” and 8 ¼”.  Cut a piece of White card stock to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the front of your Grey Granite card base.  Get your Nests of Winter designer series paper out and find one of the pieces that have the pussy willows with the birds on the bottom and top of the paper.  Cut a section to 4” x 4 ¼” making sure you have the birds positioned where you want them for the section of paper you are using.  Find two spots with birds that you can cut to 1 ¾” x 1 ¾” and also cut two pieces of White card stock to the same 1 ¾” x 1 ¾”.  I also cut a ½” x 1 ¾” of a bit of pussy willow for the bottom of one of the white pieces.  Cut four squares out of the Grey Granite to 2” x 2”.  Adhere your 4 pieces cut to 1 ¾” x 1 ¾” to each of the Grey Granite pieces.  On the plain white one get the  “many thanks and much love” stamp from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set and stamp it with your Grey Granite ink.

Find a piece of designer series paper from your Nests of Winter pack that has the white birch trees with the birds.  Cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere one to the inside top portion of your card and the other to the inside bottom portion.  Now take the Grey Granite strip you cut and scored and accordion fold it.  Adhere the top section centered to the top of your card with the center part of your accordion fold popping up and then adhere the bottom section to the bottom of your card.  Now adhere you 2” x 2” pieces from top down centered in each section of your grey accordion strip with one of the birds in the top section.  Your word stamped piece in the second section, the second bird one in the third section and the plain white with the strip of pussy willow to the bottom section.

And that is it, you have an adorable, easy pop-up card.
