Wildflower Birthday Stepper Card

No Comments

This birthday stepper card turned out cute with the Wildflower Birthday paper from Stampin’ Up.  Then then large Happy Birthday on this inside from the With You In Mind stamp set from was perfect. 

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

  • Pool Party card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Pretty In Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Wildflower Birthday designer series paper and cut outs (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Sentimental Park stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • With You In Mind stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Tempting Turqoise ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

With your Pool Party card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 1 ¼”, 2 ½” and 5 1/5” and fold into an “m” shape.  From the Pretty in Pink card stock cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 8 ½” and score at 4 ¼” and fold in half.  Take your Wildflower Birthday designer series paper pack and find the cake paper and the Pool Party and gold banner paper.  From the cake paper (which is directional) cut a piece to 2 ½” x 4”.  With the Pool Party and gold banner paper cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” and another to 1” x 5 ¼”, watching your direction as well. 

With your “m” shaped pool party card base adhere the 1” strip of the banner paper to the front of your small step.  Then adhere the larger banner paper to the front of the larger section.  Then take your cake paper and adhere to one section of your Pretty In Pink piece and adhere the back of the part with the cake paper to the center of the 1 ¼” step front.  Then adhere the pink piece to the back of your “m” shaped card base. 

With a scrap piece of Pool Party card stock stamp the “let’s celebrate” greeting stamp in Tempting Turquise ink.  Use the stitched label die to cut it out.  Then use pop dots to adhere it to the center to right side of the front over the small step.  Then find a cut-out, I used a flower, from the Wildflower Birthday paper cut-outs and adhere to the left side of your front small step. 

For the inside of your card use the “happy birthday” greeting stamp from the With You In Mind stamp set and stamp in Tempting Turquise on the inside center back of your card. 

It is just a nice bright card that will be great to give to anyone.

Floral Z-Fold Lace Cards

No Comments

These cards are a Z-Fold style card, but the design makes a full-front card.  These cards were made with some floral paper that I don’t know what they are from and then use a border lace punch from Stampin’ Up to decorate the front edge. 

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

Blue Rose Card

  • Marina Mist card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Very Vanilla card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Floral designer series paper (Unknown)
  • Gallery Blooms stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Words of Beauty stamps and dies (November 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Marina Mist ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

Rust Butterfly Card

  • Ridinghood Red card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Floral designer series paper (Unknown)
  • Sentimental Park stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Double Layer Butterfly die (Spellbinders ?)
  • Ridinghood Red ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

To make a similar card, since I don’t know where the floral paper came from, cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 1 ½” x 4 ¼”.  Fold in half and then fold the small portion toward you.  From your neutral color (white or vanilla) cut a piece for the inside of your card to 4” x 5 ¼”, a piece for the front to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” and for the middle inside panel cut a piece to 2 ½” x 5 ¼”.  For the lace piece cut a piece to 2” x 5 ½” and then use the lace punch (or a decorative border die if you have one) to cut the border edge.  Adhere this to the back of the front flap, you may need to trim off a bit to have it line up where you would like for it to show well. 

From your floral paper cut a piece for the front to 2 5/8” x 5”, a piece for your inside panel to 2 1/8” x 5” and a piece for the middle panel to 1 1/8” x 5”.  Take your neutral piece measuring 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” piece and the 2 5/8” x 5” floral piece and adhere the floral piece to it and then adhere the left side of the neutral piece to the front flap.  Use the 2 1/8” x 5” floral piece to the 4” x 5 ¼” piece (to either side, use your preference as I did one of each) and then adhere this to the back panel of the inside of your card.  Then adhere the last floral piece to the neutral piece and adhere that to the middle panel on the inside. 

Use a decorative stamp and\or die to decorate the front and use a greeting stamp and label to go with it on the front.  Stamp a greeting on the inside back panel of the card if you wish. 

This gives you a really nice card design to use for any type of card you prefer.
