Birthday Tree Card

No Comments

This birthday tree card is a great masquiline birthday card for anyone in your life.  This card is made with a three trees die from Jinshinging and Something Fancy stamps from Stampin’ Up.  It used the Softly Stippled designer series paper from Stampin’ Up as well. 

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

  • Sahara Sand card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Pebbled Path ink (Retired 2023-2025 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
  • Softly Stippled designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Something Fancy stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Three Trees die (Jinshining Dies)
  • Pebbled Path ink (Retired 2023-2025 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

To start this card, take a piece of Sahara Sand card stock and cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Cut another piece to 3 ½” x 4 5/8”.  From the Pebbled Path card stock cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼” and another to 3 5/8” x 4 ¾”.  From your Softly Stippled designer series paper find the Pebbled Path woven design paper and cut a piece to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”. 

Take a scrap piece of Pebbled Path card stock and cut a piece to 3 ½” x 4 ½” and use your three trees die with the top of the trees toward to top of the paper so there is a large base left at the bottom, and cut.  Use the “grateful for the everyday magic of you” greeting stamp from the Something Fancy set and stamp in Pebbled Path ink at the bottom of your cut out trees. 

Adhere your cut out trees piece to the 3 ½” x 4 5/8” piece of Sahara Sand and adhere that to the 3 5/8” x 4 ¾” piece of Pebbled Path card stock.  Adhere one of your 4” x 5 ¼” pieces of Pebbled Path card stock to the front of your card base, and then the woven paper to the front of that.  Now adhere your three tree pieces centered on the front of the woven paper. 

For the inside of your card adhere the last piece of Pebbled Path card stock.  Stamp the “happy birthday” greeting in Pebbled Path ink in the upper center of the Pebbled Path piece on the inside of your card. 

What an easy and masculine birthday card for anyone you care about.

Magical Meadows Winter Wishes Card

No Comments

I love how this card turned out, the Blueberry Bushel paper is usually a bit bright for me, but I love it with this paper and stamps.  The Winter Meadows designer series paper is one of my favorite holiday papers from Stampin’ Up.  The Magical Meadows stamps and dies are also just such great sets.

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

  • Blueberry Bushel card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Winter Meadows designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Magical Meadows stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Rectangle label die (unknown)
  • Blueberry Bushel ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board to scoring blade for paper trimmer
  • Adhesive-backed Pearls, the packages say Red and Green Adhesive-Backed Pearls but they are silver and gold, and I have more than one pack and they all say that (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From the Blueberry Bushel card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 8 ¼”, and score at 2 ¾” and fold the short side to the front.  Then cut another piece to 2 ½” x 7”, then score at 3 ½” and fold in half.  From white card stock cut a piece to 2 ¼” x 3 ¼” for the inside of your card.  Take your Winter Meadows designer series paper and find the blue tree paper and also the Blueberry Bushel speckled paper.  From the tree paper cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and another to 2 ½” x 4”.  From the Blueberry Bushel speckled paper cut a piece to 2 ¼” x 3 ¼”. 

Take your card base and your two tree pieces and adhere the smaller tree piece to the front panel and the larger tree panel to the inside.  Now take the smaller piece of Blueberry Bushel card stock and with the fold facing to the left adhere the back to the center of the large tree paper and then fold over the front of the smaller panel.  Adhere the white piece to the inside of the small, folded piece and adhere the Blueberry Bushel speckled paper to the front of the small, folded piece. 

Use a rectangle label die measuring about 2” x 3 1/8” to cut out your label from white card stock. Use the trees stamp from the Magical Meadow stamp set and stamp in the lower left corner of your label in Blueberry Bushel ink.  The stamp the “Winter Wishes” with Blueberry Bushel ink in the upper right corner of your label.  Adhere your label to the front of the small folded piece with pop dots.  Put a few random silver Adhesive-Backed Pearls around on the label. 

For the inside of your card use a scrap piece of Blueberry Bushel card stock and the two sizes of tree dies in the Magical Meadows dies and cut out one of each size.  Adhere these to the lower left corner on the white card stock on the inside of your card.  Then in Blueberry Bushel ink stamp the “may this season of sparkle bring joy and delight” greeting stamp in the upper center of the white inside.

Here is a really pretty holiday card to welcome the holidays to anyone!
