Framed Florets Stepper Card

No Comments

I was working on cleaning up my craft room and found a few cards that were cut but never put together.  This stepper card base was one of them, so I made this card which I am loving with this Fitting Florets designer series paper from Stampin’ Up.  I used the Framed Florets stamps with it.   

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

  • Night of Navy card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Balmy Blue card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Fitting Florets designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Framed Florets stamp set and dies (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Night of Navy ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Moody Palate Glossy Dots (January 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scoring board or scoring blade for trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From a piece of Night of Navy card stock cut a piece to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 3 ¼”, 6 ½” and 7 ½” and fold the 3 ¼” to the 3 ¼” and then the 2” end up and then the last 1” down for form your step.  Cut another piece to 3” x 8 ½” and score at 4 ¼” and old in half.  Now take your Balmy Blue card stock and cut a piece to 3 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one to 2 7/8” x 4 1/8” and a third piece to 7/8” x 5 3/8”.  From your white card stock cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 4” and one to 2 7/8” x 5”.  With the Fitting Florets designer series paper find the Night of Navy piece with the Balmy Blue Flowers and cut a piece to 3” x 5 3/8”, one to 1 5/8” x 2 5/8” and a third piece to ¾” x 5 3/8”. 

Take your large piece of Balmy Blue and adhere to the front of your back step and then the larger floral piece to that.  Adhere the strip of Balmy Blue to the front of your small step and then the floral strip to that.  Now take your 3” folded piece of Night of Navy and adhere to the front of your small step, centered, and then adhere to the back of your large step.  Adhere the medium piece of Balmy Blue to the front of that. 

Take the small piece of white and adhere the small floral piece to the bottom portion of the white leaving a small edge around three sides.  Then stamp the “Wishes for a Beautiful Birthday” greeting from the Framed Florets stamp set in Night of Navy ink in the top portion.   Adhere this to the front of your Balmy Blue.  Add a few Moody Palate Glossy Dots around the white for decoration. 

Take your floral die from the Framed Florets and cut out two of the flowers from the designer series paper, or stamp two in Balmy Blue ink and cut them out.  Adhere to the lower left corner of your piece of white for the inside of your card.  Take the “For a special person on a special day” stamp and stamp in Night of Navy ink.  Adhere your white piece to the last piece of Balmy Blue and adhere that to the inside of your card.

What a lovely birthday card for anyone special in your life.

Sophisticated Sled Step Christmas Card

No Comments

This was one of the Christmas cards I sent out in 2025 and received so many compliments.  This set is so pretty and reminds me of the holidays and being a kid sledding with my friends on the local hill.    

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

  • Soft Succulent card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Silver card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Real Red card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Light green card stock (? It isn’t Soft Sea Foam so not sure what color it is)
  • White card stock
  • Soft Succulent and Silver designer series paper (Stampin’ Up but I don’t remember from what specific pack)
  • Sophisticated Sled stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Embellished Ornaments stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
  • Decorative label die about 1” x 2”
  • Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder (Stampin’ Up)
  • Soft Succulent ink
  • Thin Twine
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From the Soft Succulent card stock cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 9 ½” and score on the long side at 1 ¼”, 2 ½” and 6”.  This forms the step portion of your card.  Cut another piece to 2 ¾” x 11”, folded in half. 

With the light green card stock cut a piece to 3 ¼” x 4”.  Use the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder and adhere to the front panel of the step portion of the soft succulent card base. 

With the Soft Succulent and Silver designer series paper cut a piece to 1”x 4” and adhere to the front of the step.  Then cut another piece to 2 ½” x 5 ¼” and adhere that to the front of the 2 ¾” x 11” piece.  Adhere the 2 ¾” x 11” with the front adhered to the front of the step and the back adhered to the back of the card, centered. 

Grab some white card stock and your Soft Succulent ink and the “Thinking of You at Christmas” greeting from the Embellished Ornaments stamp set and stamp and then use your label die to cut.  Adhere to the lower right corner of the front of your card.  Cut a piece to 3 ¼” x 4” for the inside of your card and stamp with the Soft Succulent ink and the “With loving wishes for a bright and beautiful season” greeting and adhere to the inside of your card. 

That gets your card all done except for building the sled.  With the silver card stock cut the sled rails.  With the Crumb Cake card stock cut the wood base for the sled and the wood rail for the front of the sled.  With your thin twin feed through the two holes of the wood rail for the front of the sled.  Then adhere both of the wood looking pieces to the silver rails.  Cut one of the leafy pieces out of soft succulent card stock and another out of the light green card stock, adhering the light green to the top of the Soft Succulent one, angled a bit so they both show and adhere that to the upper part of the wood base.  With the Real Red card stock cut a bow and adhere that to the front of the leaves.  Adhere the sled to the front upper portion of your card with pop dots to set it off. 

That is how you make this lovely card with the Sophisticated Sled set.

I love the way this card turned out, a floral step card made with the Beautiful Gallery Suite from Stampin’ Up.  The colors are lovely and it is just so pretty. 

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

  • Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Beautiful Gallery designer series paper (2025 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Beautiful Motifs stamp set (Stampin’ Up)

  • Pressed Flower Motif embelishments (2025 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From your Mossy Meadow card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 2”, 4” and 7 ½” and fold the big section together and the smaller section together to form your step card base. 

Grab your Beautiful Gallery designer series paper and find the Mossy Meadow piece with the white roses and the painted looking piece of Mossy Meadow paper.  From the painted piece cut a piece to 3 ¼” x 4” and another to 1 ¾” x 4” and adhere each to the front of your steps. 

Now get your Oval Flat End dies and cut the following:

               White Card Stock: 2 3/8” x 3 13/16”

                  2 13/16” x 4 ¼”

                                                                  3 ¾” x 5 ¼”

3 ¼” x 4 13/16”

               Mossy Meadow Floral:             2” x 3 7/16”

                                                                 3 ¼” x 4 13/16”

For the back step, take the 3 ¾” x 5 ¼” white piece and adhere the 3 ¼” x 4 13/16” floral designer series paper piece and adhere to the front of the large step.  Then take the 2 3/8”x 3 13/16” piece of white and the small floral designer series paper piece and adhere together and then adhere to the front of the small step.  Take the 2” x 3 7 1/6” piece of Mossy Meadow and adhere to the back of your small step piece, it just gives is a bit more support for your card to stand well.  Now from Mossy Meadow die cut out a label base and from white card stock cut out the top of your label.  Stamp in Mossy Meadow ink the “Celebrate” from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set.  Adhere to the lower portion of your front step with pop dots.  Use the Pressed Flower Motif embellishments to decorate each end of your label.

Then take the Mossy Meadow piece that is left and the white piece and adhere to the white to the Mossy Meadow.  With your Mossy Meadow ink and a “happy Birthday” greeting stamp and stamp in the upper portion of the white.  Adhere to the back of your card. 

This gives you a beautiful birthday card for one of your girlfriends of family members.

Tent Fold Stepper Peaceful Garden Card

No Comments

I have seen a few of these online as ideas, but this one came from my Stampin’ Up upline in one of her Thursday night Facebook lives at My Stamping Style.  It was a really cute design that I hadn’t seen before, but I have now saw a few times since.  It folds into a normal 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card but forms a stand for a 4” x 4 ¼” card with a front step.    I used the Peaceful Gardens to make this charming card. 

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

  • Secret Sea card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Cloud Cover card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Peaceful Garden designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Secret Sea ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Hues of Blue flower embellishments (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With your Secret Sea card stock a piece to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 4”, 8”, 9” and 10”.  From the 4” end, fold the 4” to the 8” score, fold the 9” score up and then the 10” score down.  With your Cloud Cover card stock, cut two pieces to 3 7/8” x 4 1/8” and a piece to 7/8” x 3 7/8”.  From the Peaceful Garden designers series paper, find the white hydrangea paper and cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 4”.  Then find the Cloud Cover paper and cut a piece to ¾” x 3 ¾”. 

Adhere one of the pieces of Cloud Cover to the front of the 4” x 4 ¼” fold up piece and then adhere the white hydrangea designer series paper.  Adhere the 7/8” x 4 1/8” piece of Coud Cover to the front of the step and then the Cloud Cover designer series paper piece to the front of that. 

Take a spare piece of Cloud Cover card stock and the small label from the Peace on Earth dies and cut a label, and then with the larger label die cut one from Secret Sea, adhere together.  From white card stock die cut the dove with wings up.  With the Peace on Earth stamp set and your Secret Sea ink stamp the “Sending” and “Heartfelt Prayers” together on your label.  Adhere the dove to the upper left of your label and add one large and two small flower embellishments from the Hues of Blue flower embellishments.  Adhere the label to the front of you step about ½’ up from the bottom of your step. 

With the second piece of Cloud Cover you cut, your Secret Sea ink and the “with deepest sympathy” greeting from the Peace on Earth stamp set.  Adhere to the inside of your card. 

That makes your Peaceful Garden Tent Fold Stepper card.
