Velvet Meadow Standing Arches Card

This Velvet Meadow flocked designer series paper is so pretty and I really wanted to the use the pink paper on the back so this Standing Arches pop-up card was the perfect design to showcase it.  The accenting with the Velveteen Assortment pink flocked paper and the Flowering Meadow stamps and dies were the perfect combination. 

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

  • Berry Burst card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Bubble Bath flocked card stock from Velveteen Assortment (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Velvet Meadow designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Flowering Meadow stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Arches dies (Stampin’ Up or Senhai)
  • Berry Burst ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From a piece of Berry Burst card stock cut out an arch measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” for the back, one to 2 ¾” x 4” for the middle and 1 ¾” x 3” for the front.  Then cut a piece to 1 5/8” x 2 ¼” and another to 2 ¼” x 2 ¾”, score each along the 2 ¼” edge at ½”, 1”, 1 ½” and 2”.  Fold each section in for both and adhere the ¼” section to the first section to form a box.  From white card stock use the 2 ½” x 3 ¾” arch die to cut your back panel and the ½” x 1 7/8” to create your label. 

With the Velvet Meadow designer series paper, find the Bubble Bath piece with the white flocking leaves and then the Bubble Bath flowers piece.  From the Bubble Bath piece with the white flocking leaves cut out with the 3 7/8” x 5 1/8” arch die.  Use the 2 ½” x 3 ¾” arch die to cut out the floral paper.  Then take a piece of the Flocked Bubble Bath paper from Velveteen Assortment and cut with the 1 ½” x 2 ¾” arch die. 

From a scrap piece of the Bubble Bath with white flocking leaves use the two sprig dies from Flowering Meadow to cut out one of each of the two.  From the floral paper use the double flower die to cut out one of the flowers and then hand cut out two leaves from the same paper.  Use the small flower dies to cut out three small flowers from a scrap piece of Berry Burst. 

Take the largest Berry Burst arch and adhere the white arch to the back and the Bubble Bath with the white flocked leaves to the front.  Take the middle side Berry Burst arch and adhere the floral arch piece to it.  Take the small Berry Burst arch and adhere the pink flocked piece to it.  Now adhere the small square piece to the back of the small arch and the other square piece to the back of the middle piece.  Now adhere the back of the middle size square piece to the front of your large arch and then the small square piece to the front of the middle arch.

Now adhere your two sprigs that you cut out to the front left bottom corner of your smallest arch and your three Berry Burst flowers over them to your liking.  Take the small white arch label you cut and with your Berry Burst ink stamp the “just because” and adhere the label angling down with the flat end going under your tallest sprig.

For the back panel adhere your double flowers you cut out in the lower left corner and the two leaves where you like slightly under the flowers.  Use the Berry Burst ink and stamp the “you always make me smile” greeting in the upper center. 

Such a pretty card to let a tell someone you are thinking about them and they make you smile.

Velvet Meadow Diagonal Z-Fold Card

This large bold paper from the Velvet Meadow designer series paper with the flocking is so beautiful, it can stand alone.  Adding the pink velveteen paper for an accent and stamps from the Flowering Meadow stamps and dies, all from Stampin’ Up just made this card shine. 

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

  • Peaceful Pine card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Barely Blush Velveteen card stock (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Velvet Meadow designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Flowering Meadow stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Scalloped Blooms dies (2026 Annual Catalog)
  • Peaceful Pine ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Daffodil Delight ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Berry Burst Stampin’ Write Market (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer

This card is all about the cutting, after that it just goes together quickly.  From a piece of Peaceful Pine card stock cut a piece to 5 ½” x 11” and from the right-side angle down to 3” and then score from the right high side at 4 ¼ and 8 ½”.  Fold into you’re Z-fold with the small front piece folding to the left. 

From your white card stock cut the following:

  • Back panel – 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and 3 ½” x 3 ¾”
  • Middle panel (front and back) – two pieces to 4 1/8” x 4 3/8”
  • Front panel – 2 3/8” x 3 3/8”

Now from the Velvet Meadow find the piece with the bright large flowers and the Peaceful Pine background and cut a strip to 5 ¼” x 12”.  Then cut into three pieces measuring 4” each.  And from the Barely Blush velveteen paper from the Velveteen Assortment Specialty designer series paper cut a piece to 2 ¼” x 3 ¼”.

For the back panel take the floral piece you cut from the right side and the white piece measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and line up and cut the angle to match your back panel.  There are many ways to cut your angles to match, I tend to align the floral on the white and move up from the bottom 1/8” more and then align the white on the Peaceful Pine and again move up 1/8” more and then line up the diagonal on my cutter and cut them, but you can mark them and cut them that way or what works for you.  Then take one of the white pieces for the middle panel and the middle floral piece and cut that diagonally.  Then take the other white piece for the middle panel and the third floral piece, but you will cut the opposite angle as this goes on the back side of your middle panel so that it shows from the front.  Then take the small white piece and the Barely Blush velveteen and do the same.  Now adhere them all down to their appropriate panels. 

With a piece of scrap white card stock and the Flowering Meadow stamp set find the daisy flower.  Ink the stem part of the stamp in Peaceful Pine ink and then use your Berry Burst Stampin’ Write marker to ink the flower and stamp on your white card stock.  Then find the large floral center stamp and stamp in Daffodil Delight ink.  Use the dies to cut out both.  Now take the “thanks” greeting stamp and stamp in Peaceful Pine ink and use the small label die from the Scalloped Blooms dies to cut out your label.  Adhere your label to the front panel on your Barely Blush velveteen and then adhere the flower center to your daisy and then the flower stem over the straight left side of your label. 

For the inside take your last piece of white card stock you cut and angle it to the same angle, since it is smaller you can use any of the angles.  Adhere to your back panel center on three-sided from the bottom, making sure it will be covered when you close your card.  Use the Peaceful Pine ink and stamp the “you always make me smile” greeting. 

Such a bright and beautiful card to say thanks.
