From a piece of Old Olive card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Take the Crushed Curry Card Stock and cut a strip to ½” x 4 1/8”.  Then from the Gathering Together designer series paper pack find the Old Olive striped paper and also the leaf paper with the large Old Olive leaves.  Cut the striped paper to 2” x 4 1/8” and the leaf paper to 4” 4 1/8”.   Adhere the leaf paper to the top portion of your card and the Old Olive striped paper to the bottom.  Adhere the Crushed Curry strip across the point where they meet. 

From some scrap white card stock stamp two of the large leaves in Crushed Curry, three smaller leaves in Old Olive ink along with two of the branches, two mushrooms in Cajan Craze ink and three of the small berry branches in Early Expresso ink.  Cut them all out with the applicable dies.  Then stamp the “Many Thanks” greeting in Old Olive and cut out with one of the Traditional Label Dies. 

Adhere the “Many Thanks” label to the right side over the Crushed Curry strip on the front of your card.  Decorate the top right with one of the smaller Old Olive leaves and an Early Expresso berry branch.  On the left side of the green striped paper on the bottom front of your card use a large Crushed Curry leaf, a smaller Old Olive leaf, and Old Olive branch, two Early Expresso berry branches and a Cajan Craze mushroom for the middle.  Adhere them around as desired.

Fine Art Floral Golden Garden Thank You Card

No Comments

This elegant and easy to make card is a great thank you card for anyone to show your gratitude.  It is made with the Fine Art Floral and Golden Garden designer series papers from Stampin’ Up. 

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

  • Calypso Coral card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Fine Art Floral designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Golden Garden transparent designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Art Gallery stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Stitched Rectangle dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Calypso Coral ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Foam Adhesive Strips or pop dots

With the Calypso Coral cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  With the white card stock take the 3 ¾” x 5 ¼” die and the 3 3/8” x 4 ¾” and align both and cut a rectangle frame.  Use the larger die to cut another piece of white for the inside. 

With the Fine Art Floral designer series paper find the piece with the light blue brush stroked background that multi-colored flowers.  Then from the Golden Garden transparency sheets find the one that matches.  Align the papers so the gold is in place over the appropriate area and cut them together to 3 ¾” x 5 ¼” and then cut another section to 1 1/2” x 5”. 

With the large piece of floral designer series paper and the Calypso Coral ink, stamp the “thank you” greeting from the Art Gallery stamp set.  Adhere the frame to the front of the Golden Garden piece.  Use Foam Adhesive strips or cut pop dots in half and align to the outside and adhere to the piece of the floral designer series paper (be careful in your placement as you can’t easily get them back off as the film will peel off, you can guess how I know).  Now adhere this to the front of the Calypso Coral card base.

For the inside of your card, take your white piece of card stock and adhere the floral paper to the inside of the stitches to the left side and then adhere the Golden Garden on top.  With the Calypso Coral ink and the “Thank you for making a difference in my life” greeting from the On the Dock stamp set and stamp to the right upper portion.  Adhere to the inside of your card.

Bouquet of Roses Charming Day Card

No Comments

This card is made with the rose die from the Stampin’ Up Charming Day stamps and dies.  This lovely rose die in the Charming Day suite makes such pretty roses and were perfect for my card.  I saw a similar card on Facebook and thought it was such a great idea though I can’t find what site I found it on, and this die was perfect for what I wanted.

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

  • Darling Duckling card stock (2025-2027 In Colors from Stampin’ Up)
  • Strawberry Slush (2025-2027 In Colors from Stampin’ Up)
  • Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Subtle 3D embossing folder (Stampin’ Up)
  • Charming Day stamps and dies (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Fancy Border Dies (2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Strawberry Slush ink (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
  • White Crinkle Ribbon (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop Dots

With white card stock cut your card base to 5 1/2” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Then cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and two pieces to 3 ¾” x 5”.  Then with your Darling Ducking card stock cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

With the Subtle 3D embossing folder emboss the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” white card stock and one of the 3 ¾” x 5”.  Now with the 3 ¾” x 5” embossed white piece and one of your Darling Duckling pieces and align the white over the Darling Duckling with the right upper corner hanging over the right upper about 1/8” on each side then use the simple Fancy Border Die along each corner and cut to cut the corner to make a spot to hold your flowers like they are wrapped in paper.  Then adhere the white piece to the Darling Duckling. 

Now cut three roses from the rose die in the Charming Day dies from the Strawberry Slush card stock, and another three from Old Olive card stock.  Then also cut one of the leaves with the die from Old Olive.  The cut the rose tops off the Strawberry Slush roses you cut and adhere to the Old Olive roses you cut so you have the green for stems and leave and the pink rose.  Align your roses through the slot you cut and adhere to the back and then adhere the whole thing to the larger white embossed piece.  Then adhere your leaves die cut piece to the back of your three roses just to add a bit of filler. 

Cut a Darling Duckling tag and a smaller white tag and adhere together.  Stamp the “you made my day” greeting on the white label with Strawberry Slush ink.  Adhere to the front of your card.  Take a piece of White Crinkle Ribbon and tie a bow and adhere to the base of the roses.

Now for the inside of your card take the white piece and adhere to the Darling Duckling piece.  Take the “Thanks for being you” greeting and stamp on the upper portion of your white card stock.  Adhere to the inside of your card.

This gives you a lovely bouquet card to make someone’s day.

An Open Heart Thank You Card

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.
