Flowering Fields Orange Tulips Card

April 23, 2025 No Comments

I am loving this Flowering Fields designer series paper from Stampin’ Up. I have had it for a few years and am just using it recently, and not sure why as I am really enjoying it, making me in the mood for Spring.

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

Pumpkin Pie card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Flowering Fields designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
With You In Mind stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
Circle dies (Stampin’ Up)
Party Dots embellishments (Stampin’ Up)
Pumpkin Pie ink
Scoring board or scoring blade for you paper trimmer
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

Grab a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock and cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 9 ¾” and score at 4 ¼” on the long edge, then fold to make your card base. Cut another piece to 1 ¼” x 4 ¼”. Now with your white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” for the inside of your card, a piece to 4 1/8” x 4 1/8” for your card front and another to 1 3/8” x 4 ¼”. With your Flowering Fields designer series paper, find the orange tulip piece and cut a piece to 4” x 4” from the front of your card and a piece to 1 ½ x 4 ¼” for the right side of the inside of your card flipped over to the back side with the orange florets.

With a decorative circle die that measures about 2 5/8” cut one from Pumpkin Pie card stock. With a circle die the next size down cut a white circle. Take the “Thank You” greeting stamp from the With You In Mind stamp set and stamp that into the center of your white circle with Pumpkin Pie ink. Adhere the white circle to the orange circle.

Take your inside white card stock piece you cut to 4 3/8” x 5 3/8” and adhere the orange floret piece to the right side. Then take the “You are Awesome!” greeting stamp from the Memorable Blooms stamp set and stamp that into the center of the remaining white section of the inside piece, then adhere that to the inside of your card with the orange floret paper hanging out from the front of your card.

Now adhere the orange tulip 4” x 4” paper to the white 4 1/8” x 4 1/8” and then adhere that to the front of your card. Then take the Pumpkin Pie strip and adhere to the white strip and then adhere that to the lower portion of your card. Adhere your circle to the left side of your strip with pop dots.

This card was so quick and easy to make and who wouldn’t love to get this as a Thank You for something special they did for you.

With You in Mind Hexagon Card

March 27, 2025 No Comments

The fun and easy Hexagon card is just adorable. I love this striped piece of paper from the Mixed Medial Florals designer series paper pack from Stampin’ Up.

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

Peach Pie card stock
White card stock
Mixed Media Florals Stamp Set
With You in Mind Stamp Set
Sentimental Park dies
Triangle die or sciscors
Peach Pie ink
Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
Paper trimmer
Pencil
Adhesive of choice

With your Peach Pie card stock cut a 5 ½” x 8 ½” card base and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut two pieces of white card stock 4” x 5 ¼” and then a piece of the peach striped designer series paper from the Stampin’ Up Mixed Media Florals pack and cut it to 3 ¾” x 5”.

Now let’s get our hexagon edges created. On the 4 ¼” ends of your Peach Pie card base lightly mark the center with a pencil and then with a triangle die (mine are triangle nested dies from InLove Arts) align the point to that center and make it look even at each point on your edges then cut in about an inch, you don’t want to go too far or you will cut the rest of the triangle into your card. Repeat on the other end. If you don’t have a triangle die you can just cut to your center mark with scissors.

On both of your white pieces turn upside down and lay a cut end of your card base on, push out toward one end about ¼” and with your pencil draw the same shape onto you white then push out to the other end and do the same, cut those ends. Then with your white cut piece do the same to your Peach Pie striped piece. Now adhere the white to the front of your Peach Pie card base and the striped piece to the front of that.

With a scrap piece of your Peach Pie card stock cut out the floral label die from the Sentimntal Park dies retired from Stampin’ Up and cut a label. With a scrap piece of White card stock cut the insert label. Insert your white label into your Peach Pie floral label and adhere. Take your With You In Mind stamps from Stampin’ Up and use the “Best Wishes” greeting and your Peach Pie ink and stamp “Best Wishes” on your label. Adhere your label, centered, on the front of your card.

Now take your second white piece and adhere inside of your card. With a scrap piece of Peach Pie card stock cut another floral label and cut off the floral ends and use to decorate each side point of your card as shown below.

That is it, you have made this cute and easy hexagon card.

Everyday Happiness Double Concertina Interlocking Card

March 9, 2025 No Comments

I just love this card, the front is pretty as a card all on it own, but then you open it up and the real card is on the inside. It is also made with the Everyday Happiness designer series paper from Stampin’ Up which I am infatuated with right now, it is just so beautiful. This card is a full-size card at 5” x 7” but could be done as a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card as well. I made this for a good friend’s 50^th so wanted the larger size.

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

Everyday Happiness designer series paper
Wild Wheat card stock
White card stock
Wild Wheat ink
With You in Mind stamp set
Nested rectangle dies, one about 3” x 4 ¼” and the next size down
Banner die
Number dies
Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Scissors
Pop-Dots

This card is not hard to make but it has a lot of cutting for the different layers of paper. Since this is a full-size card, it takes a bit more paper. With White card stock, cut the following:

One piece to 7” x 10 ½” scored on the long edge at 5” and 10”
One to 7” x 10” scored on the long edge at 5”
One to 3 ¾” x 9 ¾” scored at 4 7/8”
Two pieces to 2 ½” x 3 ¾” each scored at ½” and 2”

With the Wild Wheat card stock cut two pieces to 2 ¾” x 4 1/8” and one to 3 ¼” x 4 ½”.

Grab your Everyday Happiness designer series paper. Take a piece with the swoops of blue, gold and white. Cut three pieces to 4 ¾” x 6 ¾”. With the floral piece cut two pieces to 4 ¾” x 6 ¾” and one to 4 ½” x 6 ½”. With the blue plaid paper cut two pieces to 3 ½” x 4 ¾” and two pieces to 1 ¼” x 3 ½”.

With the White card stock pieces cut to 7” x 10 ½” and the 7” x 10 pieces, fold both pieces at the 5” score mark and with the fold pointing down fold the ½” mark down as well. Then adhere the second piece of card stock, also with the fold pointing down to the ½” piece, forming a “W” shape.

Take the two pieces of the swoops designer series paper that you cut to 4 ¾” x 6 ¾” and the largest of the two nested rectangle dies and cut the rectangle out of the center of both. Adhere these to the two center pieces of your base White card stock. Take the smaller rectangle die and place the die in the center of your swoops cut out and cut out the smaller rectangle. Keep all of these cut out pieces to use later. Now take the two floral pieces you cut to 4 ¾” x 6 ¾” and adhere on the front and back panel of the inside of your card.

Let’s start making the interlocking piece. Take the piece of white card stock cut to 3 ¾” x 9 ¾” and fold in half. Then take the two pieces of white card stock cut to 2 ½” x 3 ¾” and fold each into a “U” shape. Adhere one side of the “U” to the back of the 3 ¾” x 9” ¾” piece and the other to the other end, both each with the “U” facing to the center. Take the four pieces of blue plaid you cut earlier and adhere the two small pieces to the ends and the two larger pieces to the center panels.

Take the two White card stock rectangle pieces you cut from the card center cut-outs and the two Wild Wheat pieces you cut to 2 ¾” x 4 1/8” and adhere the White to the Wild Wheat. With a scrap piece of the blue with polka dots cut cut 5 banner pieces and use four of them to adhere to the tops of the two pieces in whatever arrangement you like. With the While Wheat ink and the With You In Mind stamp set, stamp the “Happy Birthday” after stamping off first.

Use a number stamp set or dies to add the age if desired to the second. Adhere each piece to the front center panels.

Now take that and put through the center of the card base and fold to align the center piece in the center and to the back. Open the front panel trying to keep the rest aligned and put adhesive on the ½” strip then lay flat and fold the front of the card onto it to align. Do the same for the back.

Now for the front of the card, take the last swooped paper and the last floral piece and adhere together and then to the front of the card. Then the piece of Wild Wheat and one of the cut-outs of the swooped paper. Stamp a greeting in the center of the swooped paper. Cut out a few of the flowers and leaves and adhere to the upper left corner and lower right corner and use the last banner you cut to put in the upper right corner.

There is your Everyday Happiness double concertina interlocking happy birthday card.
