This trifold arches card highlights this beautiful floral paper from the Velvet Meadows designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and the Flowering Meadow stamp set.  The paper really does all the work so all it needed was a greeting from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set and some dragonflies to add just a little extra.

Use an arch die measuring about 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” to cut four pieces from Basic Beige card stock.  Then use an arch die measuring about 3 7/8” x 5 1/8” and cut three panels from the floral piece from the Velvet Meadows designer series paper pack.  Adhere each of the floral arch pieces to the Basic Beige arches, keeping them in order so they flow well.  Adhere each of your arch pieces to your Peaceful Pine base, leaving about an 1/8” around the three sides for each panel. 

Use your Peaceful Pine Ink and the “happy birthday” stamp from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set and stamp on the upper right of your front panel.  With the Adhesive-backed Dragonflies and Birds embellishments and adhere six of the dragonflies, two per panel around. 

For the back of your card adhere the fourth arch, aligning with the one on the front.  Use the Peaceful Pine ink and stamp the”wishing you a day of relaxation, happiness, and love” greeting on the upper center.  You could also adhere a few dragonflies here as well, I didn’t think about it until now so I may go back and do that.

Velvet Meadow Popup Card

No Comments

The flocked paper from the Velvet Meadow designer series paper from Stampin’ Up is so pretty, and this muted piece is my favorite piece so I had to find a card design that would showcase it.  This popup card with a simple little daisy and tag just made it perfect. 

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

  • Fabulous Sayings stamps (January 2026 Product of the Month Stampin’ Up)
  • Linen Thread (Stampin’ Up)

  • Pop dots

There is some cutting to start, but then it all just goes together very quickly.  Cut the following:

Cloud Cover card stock:

  • 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card base, score at 1”, 1 ¾”, 3 ¾” and 4 ½”
  • 1 3/8” x 2 ¾” for the back label
  • 3 ½” x 4 ½” for center panels and scored at ½” x 1 ¼”, 3 ¼” and 4”, then cut into two strips ¾” wide leaving the center strip at 2” wide.

White card stock:

  • 1 7/8” x 4 1/8” for the back panel
  • 1 3/8” x 2 ¾” for the back label

Muted Floral flocked paper:

Take your card base and from the right fold down, up, up and down, then adhere the center and one side of each of the center panels with the 1 7/8” x 4 1/8” and two 5/8” x 4 1/8”.  Then fold each of your Cloud Cover strip from the right up, down, down, up and adhere the blue checked pieces to your three strips.  Now adhere each of your skinny strips to top section and bottom section by adhering to your outside panels of your card base, and then the larger panel to the center between the other two.  Adhere two of the 7/8” wide floral flocked pieces to each outside panel. 

From the Flowering Meadow dies, cut two of the white daisy flowers from white card stock, two Golden Glow card stock center and one double stem from Cloud Cover card stock.  Adhere together and then use mini pop dots to adhere the flower to the left side of your center panel.  In Cloud Cover ink stamp the “hello” greeting from the Fabulous Sayings stamp set.  Use the tag die from Scalloped Blooms dies to cut out and then with two pieces of linen thread folded in half to feed through the hole and then feed the ends through the loop, then trim.  Adhere with linen thread slightly over your daisies using mini pop dots.

For the back panel of your card adhere the Velvet flocked floral strips to the two outside panels of each side.  Adhere the white panel to the center panel.  Adhere your white label piece to the Cloud Cover piece and stamp the “you’re on my mind” greeting stamped in Cloud Cover ink.  Adhere the label to the back center panel in the upper section, angled slightly. 

The muted colors and of course the white flocking makes this card a special one to give to someone special to you to tell them they are on your mind.

Velvet Meadow Floral Lineup Card

No Comments

This cute card uses the Velvet Meadow designer series paper with the white flocking and the dies from Flowering Meadow and stamps and dies from Scalloped Blooms, all from Stampin’ Up.  I used the die to cut out the flowers for the side from the paper instead of trying to color them. 

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

  • Peaceful Pine card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Velvet Meadow designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Flowering Meadow dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Scalloped Blooms stamps and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Peaceful Pine ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From a piece of Basic Beige card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½”, then fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  From a piece of Peaceful Pine cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 5”.  With the Velvet Meadow designer series paper find the Basic Beige piece with the pink flowers and then the Basic Beige slightly textured looking paper.  From the Basic Beige textured looking paper cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Then with the pink floral paper cut a piece to 2 ½” x 4 ¾”. 

Take the double flower die from the Flowering Meadow dies and die cut 5 of the double pink flowers from some of the extra pink floral paper, or you can stamp and color them if you prefer not to cut up your paper.  Then cut 7 of the leaves from the paper with a pair of scissors, or you can use the three leaf due and cut some out of Peaceful Pine card stock and cut them up. 

Adhere the floral piece measuring 2 ½” x 4 ¾” to the Peaceful Pine card stock piece.  Now adhere three of your double cut flowers to the back on the right side, starting to adhere one in the center and then the other two to the top and bottom.  Adhere four of the leaves to the back of the flowers as desired.  From a scrap piece of Basic Beige use the longer label die with the scallops on the right end to cut out a label.  Use Peaceful Pine ink to stamp the “you’re a blessing to me” greeting to the right side of your label.  Take one of the double cut flowers and a pair of scissors to cut the flowers apart and use the full flower to adhere to the left end of your label and use one of the cut-out leaves with it. 

Use pop dots to adhere the large piece with your flowers to the front of your card base.  Then use more pop dots to adhere the label to the lower portion of your floral paper, about ½” up from the Peaceful Pine border with the right scalloped side hanging over. 

For the inside of your card adhere your last double flowers to the lower left corner of the back panel along with the two remaining leaves.  Use Peaceful Pine ink to stamp the “thank you” greeting in the upper center of the back panel of the inside of your card. 

A lovely card to thank someone special to you who helps when you really need it.
