Beautiful Gallery Sympathy Tent Card

This floral paper from the Beautiful Gallery designer series paper from Stampin’ Up made a lovely sympathy card for when it is needed.  This tent style card is the perfect design for this paper. 

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

  • Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Beautiful Gallery designer series paper (2025 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Lasting Lily stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Score board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From your Basic Beige card stock cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 5 ½ for the card base.  Cut a piece to 3 ½” x 4 ½” and score at 4 ¼”.  Cut another piece for the greeting label to 7/8” x 3 1/8” and for the inside cut a piece to 2 5/8” x 3 ½”.  Then from Mossy Meadow card stock cut two pieces to 3 3/8” x 4 ¼” and two pieces to 7/8” x 4 ¼” and one for the label to 1” x 3 3/8”.  Find the white rose floral paper from the Beautiful Gallery designer series paper pack, cut about ¼” off of the top to get rid of the box outline.  Then cut the bottom off at 4 ¼” and trim about ¼” off of each side to get rid to the box outline.  Cut two pieces to ¾” and a third to 3 ¼” x 4 ¼”. 

Take the to pieces of Basic Beige you cut for you card base, the 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece is the bottom and then the 3 ½” x 4 ½” scored piece fold the ¼” score down.  Find the two Mossy Meadow 7/8” x 4 ¼” pieces and adhere one to each side of the card base with an edge on the outside of about 1/16”.  Then adhere the center piece by adhering the 1/4″ part to the back of the card in the center between your two Mossy Meadow pieces.  Adhere to two ¾” x 4 ¼” strips of floral to each side onto the Mossy Meadow.  Then adhere your 3 3/8” x 4 ¼” piece of Mossy Meadow to the front of your center panel and then the floral piece to the center of that. 

Now take the label piece of Mossy Meadow and adhere across your front center panel toward the bottom, up about ¼”.  Then take your label piece of Basic Beige, your Mossy Meadow ink and the “With Sympathy” greeting stamp and stamp on your label.  Adhere your Basic Beige label over the Mossy Meadow label piece. 

For the inside adhere your piece of Mossy Meadow and then the piece of Basic Beige.  With the “Our thoughts are with you” greeting stamp and the Mossy Meadow ink and stamp on the upper center of the Basic Beige piece. 

This card just fell together and while I wasn’t a great fan of the paper, I love it on this card, I think it is just a beautiful sympathy card.

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.
