Thank You Card – Welcome

Lovely Blossoms Thank You Layered Card

January 22, 2026 No Comments

This Thank You card uses the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper from Stampin’ Up to create floral layers. It is a fairly simple card, but really pretty at the same time.

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

Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Lovely Blossoms designer series paper (January 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Lovely Arrangements stamp set (January 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Decorative Rectangle Scallop dies (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Secret Sea ink (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

Take a piece of Petal Pink card stock and cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. From your Lovely Blossoms designer series paper find the piece with woven Old Olive and cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”, one for the front and one for the inside of your card. The find the Petal Pink piece with the dainty florets and cut a piece of that to 1 ½” x 2 ¾”. The find the piece that has all the different floral sections and cut out the Petal Pink with small white flowers from the bottom square pieces, cut to 2” x 2” which is what it should cut out to. Then find the larger Petal Pink with white flowers and Old Olive leaves and cut that out to 2 11/16” x 4”.

From your white card stock, cut out a square scallop that measures about 2 ¼” x 2 ¼”, and then a rectangle to 1 ¾” x 3 1/8” and lastly a scallop rectangle measuring about 3 1/8” x 4 ½”. Adhere your cut out designer series paper pieces to your rectangles. Cut a piece of white to 1” x 2 ¼” and stamp the “thank you” greeting and then the “so very much” greeting below in Secret Sea ink. Adhere to the front of the smaller rectangle with the Petal Pink florets.

With your Petal Pink card base, adhere one of the Old Olive woven pieces to the front. Adhere your larger rectangle piece with the floral paper to the upper left of the Old Olive woven paper, leaving about 1/8” to the left and top areas. Then take the square scallop piece and adhere it to the lower right corner leaving about 1/8” to the right and bottom. Now adhere your rectangle with the greeting in the upper right corner, centered between the top and the lower square piece.

For the inside of your card adhere the second Old Olive woven piece and then cut a white piece of card stock to 3 ¾” x 5” and adhere that to the front of your Old Olive piece. I didn’t stamp anything on the inside as I have been requested to create some thank you cards that are blank on the inside, but feel free to stamp any appropriate greeting as you like using Secret Sea ink.

What a pretty layered card to say thank you for any little deed.

An Open Heart Thank You Card

June 20, 2025 No Comments

The wren was outside my craftroom window today which seemed like a sign that I needed to make a wren card. I used a few antiquing features on this one as I haven’t in a while and I love cards that look a little old or weathered.

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

Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Peaceful Garden designer series paper (July 2025 Online Exclusive from Stampin’ Up)
Pear Pizzaz ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Crumb Cake ink (Stampin’ Up)
Scrapper (Retired Stampin’ Up) or Scissors
Sponge
Blending Brush – Small (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

From your Crumb Cake card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. With your white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, and two to 3 ½” x 4 ¾”. In the Peaceful Garden designer series paper pack, find the only sheet that is Crumb Cake colored with the white florets, cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.

With some spare Crumb Cake cut out three floret pieces, these are teasel burrs (I don’t know where this die is from). Take one of your 3 ½” x 4 ¾” pieces of white you cut along with the Pear Pizzaz ink and your blending brush, lightly run your blending brush through the ink and blend around on your paper. Tear all four edges and then use your Crumb Cake ink and a piece of sponge and sponge along your torn edges and also add a bit to your Pear Pizzaz. Then from An Open Heart stamp set take the wren bird stamp and stamp to the left side of your piece. Take your “So much my heart would like to say . . .” stamp and stamp in Crumb Cake ink on a small spare piece of white card stock. Again tear your edges on all four sides and sponge Crumb Cake onto the edge.

Now with the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” piece of white you cut, use your scrapper or one edge of a pair of scissors and scrape along the edge to roughen. Do the same to the Crumb Cake Floret piece of designer series paper you cut. Use your sponge and Crumb Cake ink to sponge the roughened edges.

Adhere the Crumb Cake Floret piece to the white piece and then adhere that to the front of your Crumb Cake card base. Adhere your wren piece toward the left side of the Crumb Cake Floret piece. Adhere two of the Tessel Burrs you die cut to the right side of the card front. With pop dots adhere your greeting over the stems of the Tessel Burrs and your wren piece.

For the inside of your card take the last piece of white card stock you cut and your Crumb Cake ink and stamp the “Thank You” greeting in the upper center. Adhere your last die cut tessel burr to the left side. Sponge around the edges using your Crumb Cake ink. Adhere to the back inside of your card.

I think the Wrens outside my craftroom would love the tribute card to them.
