Floral Charm Angled Z-Fold Card

No Comments

This card is a great thank you for anyone, while it has bright colors it is all around leaves, not flowers.  It is made from the Floral Charm designer series paper and the Charming Day stamps and dies all from Stampin’ Up. 

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

  • Timid Tiger card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Night of Navy card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Floral Charm designer series paper (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Charming Day stamps and dies
  • Night of Navy ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With your Timid Tiger card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 11” and score at 4 ¼” and 8 ½” then fold into a Z.  For the 2 ½” section from the bottom measure up 2 ½” and cut in to form a 2 ½” square for the front of your card.  With the square folded up to the center base then cut a diagonal from the top of the card to the 2 ½” square piece. 

From your Floral Charm designer series paper pack find the Timid Tiger floral piece and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and a second piece to 2 ¼” x 2 ¼”.  Adhere the 4” x 5 ¼” to the back inside of the card.  Adhere the 2 ¼” x 2 ¼” to your front of your card on the 2 ½” x 2 ½”.   Now find the multi-color leaf piece of paper and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.  With white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Take the multi-color leaves piece and place it on the front of your card under the 2 ½” piece and move up so that twice of the Timid Tiger edge is showing and flip and draw a line for your angle and cut.  Cut the same angle on your white piece.  Adhere the leaf piece to the front and the white to the inside. 

Take a scrap piece of Night of Navy and the large leaf die and cut out three piece.  Then with a piece of Timid Tiger and a piece of Mossy Meadow cut out the two each of the small leaf.  With a piece of white card stock and a label die of choice cut a label and stamp the “thanks for being you” greeting stamp in Night of Navy ink.  Adhere the label and one each of the colored die cut leaves to the front flap.   

On your white inside piece adhere one of the Navy leaves to the lower left corner.  With your Night of Navy ink and your “you made my day” greeting stamp it on the upper right portion with your angle area. 

Now adhere your remaining three leaf pieces to the lower right corner of your Timid Tiger floral piece. 

You now have a great Thank You card for anyone who has done something sweet for you.

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.
