Lovely Blossoms Diagonal Crossover Card

No Comments

This diagonal crossover card design is a stunning fold that I have seen a few others make.  I used the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper from Stampin’ Up for mine as I wanted to use stripes on the bottom flap and I love this paper right now.  The I used an old favorite, Season of Chic stamps for the perfect birthday greeting to show through. 

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

  • Cloud Cover card stock (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
  • Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Lovely Blossoms designer series paper (January 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Lovely Arrangements stamp set and dies (January 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Season of Chic stamps (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Cloud Cover ink (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
  • Secret Sea Stampin’ Blends Marker (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scoring Board or scoring blade for your trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

This card looks a bit complicated but it really wasn’t too bad, it is just paying attention to make sure you get your angles going the correct directions.  To start, take a piece of 8 ½” x 11” Cloud Cover card stock and score in half both directions creating four blocks.  Holding your paper vertical, cut out the upper left corner completely.  For the upper right corner, cut your angle from corner to corner, cutting from the upper left corner to the lower right corner, creating your flap the folds down.  For the lower left corner, cut your angle from the lower left corner to the upper right corner, forming your under flap. 

From white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and cut from the upper left corner to the lower right corner, this gives you the layers for your flaps.  Cut a piece for the inside of your card to 4 1/16” x 5 5/16”.  From the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper find the Cloud Cover stripes paper and the Cloud Cover floral paper, cut a piece of each to 3 ¾” x 5”.  The cut the stripes piece from the upper left to the lower right corner and use the bottom piece for your under flap.  The cut the floral piece from the lower left to the upper right (this paper is directional) and use the upper corner for your upper flap. 

Now take the large flower stamp from the Lovely Arrangements stamp set and tap in your Cloud Cover ink and then use your Secret Sea Stampin’ Write Marker to color the center of the flower.  Then huff on your stamp (blow warm breathe to remoisten your ink) and stamp on a piece of white card stock.  Use the die to cut out the flower and also the two leaf dies to cut out leaves from Old Olive card stock. 

Let’s get your card adhered together, start with adhering your two white diagonal pieces to your flaps, and then the stripes paper to the lower flap onto the white and the floral piece to the white on the upper flap.  Then adhere your full piece of white card stock to the inside of your card.  Adhere your flower to your upper flap overhanging where your diagonals cross over the white and the adhere your leaves as well. 

For the inside piece showing where your diagonals cross, stamp the “wishing you the best birthdays ever” greeting form the Season of Chic stamp set in Cloud Cover ink. 

What a beautiful birthday card for anyone.  I love this design.

Textured Chic Layered Levels Card

No Comments

I found this half-done card down in my craft room when I was doing some cleaning so I finished it up.  The Textured Chic designer series paper from Stampin’ Up is one of my all-time favorite packs of paper as they all are so pretty with the touches of gold and light colors.  This layered levels card allows a variety of these papers to get used together. 

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

  • Peekaboo Peach card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Textured Chic designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Season of Chic stamp set and dies (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Peekaboo Peach ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

Take a piece of white card stock and cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 8 ¼” and score at 3” and fold.   Then cut two pieces to 3 ¼” x 4 5/8” and one piece to 2 5/8” x 4 1/8”.  Now with your Textured Chic designer series paper find the white and pink piece with gold dots, the tiny floral piece and the orange piece with gold diagonals.  From the floral piece cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 5” and a second piece to 2 ½” x 3 7/8”.  With the orange paper cut a piece to 3” x 4 ½”.  Now from the pink with gold dots paper cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 4”.

With your card base, adhere the pink with gold dots piece to the front 3” portion of your card.  Adhere the 4 ¼” x 5” floral piece to the inside of your card.  Take one of your 3 ¼” x 4 5/8” white pieces and adhere it in the center of the inside of your card on the floral piece.  Take the other white piece cut to 3 ¼” x 4 5/8” piece and adhere the orange with gold diagonals to it.  Put adhesive on half of your orange piece and then lay it over your white inside piece so that it is where it needs to be and lay the front panel down over it to adhere it in the proper place.  Now adhere your smaller floral piece to the last piece of white card stock and adhere that center over the pink with gold dots and orange with gold diagonals pieces. 

Take your piece of Peekaboo Peach card stock and your Peekaboo Peach ink and stamp the flower inside.  Then cut that out along with a flower outside and the one of the flower outside of the daisy type flower.  Adhere the larger flower outside to the stamped flower.  On white card stock stamp the “thinking of you” greeting and cut into a label.  Adhere to the front of your card at an angle and adhere to double layered flower to the left end.

For the inside adhere the daisy type floral outline to the lower left corner of your inside white piece.  Stamp the “you are amazing beyond measure” greeting in Peekaboo Peach ink in the upper center. 

This is a cute and different style card to give to anyone you want to let know you appreciate them.
