Brushed with Beauty Great Friend Card

No Comments

I needed a quick card today and this was it.  The Brushed with Beauty designer series paper from Stampin’ Up fit the bill and a few dies from Petals of Beauty and Words of Beauty and it just went together well. 

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

  • Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Very Vanilla card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Brushed with Beauty designer series paper (November 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Petals of Beauty dies (November 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Words of Beauty stamps and dies (November 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From a piece of 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 the Very Vanilla card stock cut two pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”.  Take the Brushed with Beauty designer series paper and find the Mossy Meadow piece with the vanilla flowers, cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and another to 1 ¾” x 4”. 

Adhere one of the Very Vanilla pieces to the front of your card base and then adhere the floral piece.  Take the “you’re a great friend” greeting stamp from the Words of Beauty stamp set and stamp on a scrap piece of Very Vanilla in Mossy Meadow ink. 

Use the long label die from the Words of Beauty dies to cut out your greeting.  From the Petals of Beauty dies cut the large leaf out of Crumb Cake and the broadleaves out of Mossy Meadow.  Adhere the large leaf toward the upper left corner of the front of your card and then the Mossy Meadow leaves over that.  Adhere your greeting behind the bottom leaf of the Mossy Meadow leaves. 

For the inside of your card adhere the second piece of Very Vanilla to the inside back of your card.  Use the “you’ve been on my mind” greeting stamp from the Words of Beauty stamps and stamp in the upper portion in Mossy Meadow ink.  Adhere the floral piece to the bottom section of the Very Vanilla portion.

A quick and easy card to let a friend know you have been thinking about them.

Brushed With Beauty Just Because Card

No Comments

A vertical take on a book binding card.  This floral card is made with Brushed With Beauty designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and using the Petals of Beauty and Words of Beauty coordinating stamp sets and dies. 

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

  • Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Brushed With Beauty designer series paper (November 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Petals of Beauty stamp set and dies (November 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Words of Beauty stamp set (November 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Nested Die 138281 (Sizzix)
  • Calypso Coral ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Petal Pink ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Pink Pirouette (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From a piece of Crumb Cake card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 2 ¾” and 4 ¼”.  Fold in half and then fold the 2 ¾” flap up.  With your white card stock cut a piece to 2 ½” x 5 ¼” for the inside.  Take the Brushed With Beauty designer series paper pack and find the one with the smaller floral print, cut a piece to 2 ½” x 5 ¼”. 

With some white card stock and the Petals of Beauty stamps and dies stamp and die cut the flowers.  I made three different flowers to help match the paper’s flowers:

  • Stamp the base in Pink Pirouette and then the outline in Petal Pink
  • Stamp the base in Pink Pirouette and then the outline stamped off in Petal Pink
  • Stamp the base in Petal Pink and then the outline stamped off in Calypso Coral

Use the larger size of the yellow 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds for the centers of the flowers.  With some scrap Mossy Meadow card stock use the leaf die from Petals of Beauty to cut one out and cut it into single leaves to use. 

With your card base, adhere the 1 ½” section to the back of the inside of your card to form the Book Binding.  Adhere to floral piece to the front right side of the card.  Adhere the three flowers evenly to the left side on the book binding with the leaves behind to your liking.  Take three of the pink 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds to the blank spaces around the flowers.  On a scrap piece of white card stock stamp the “just”, “because” and “…” in Calypso Coral and use a label die to cut it out, I use a nested Sizzix die that was about 1 ½” high but any shape will work.

For the inside of the card adhere you white piece and stamp the “you’ve been on my mind” stamp in Calypso Coral ink.

A pretty card to brighten someone’s day and let them know you are thinking of them.

Floral Z-Fold Lace Cards

No Comments

These cards are a Z-Fold style card, but the design makes a full-front card.  These cards were made with some floral paper that I don’t know what they are from and then use a border lace punch from Stampin’ Up to decorate the front edge. 

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

Blue Rose Card

  • Marina Mist card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Very Vanilla card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Floral designer series paper (Unknown)
  • Gallery Blooms stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Words of Beauty stamps and dies (November 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Marina Mist ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

Rust Butterfly Card

  • Ridinghood Red card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Floral designer series paper (Unknown)
  • Sentimental Park stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Double Layer Butterfly die (Spellbinders ?)
  • Ridinghood Red ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

To make a similar card, since I don’t know where the floral paper came from, cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 1 ½” x 4 ¼”.  Fold in half and then fold the small portion toward you.  From your neutral color (white or vanilla) cut a piece for the inside of your card to 4” x 5 ¼”, a piece for the front to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” and for the middle inside panel cut a piece to 2 ½” x 5 ¼”.  For the lace piece cut a piece to 2” x 5 ½” and then use the lace punch (or a decorative border die if you have one) to cut the border edge.  Adhere this to the back of the front flap, you may need to trim off a bit to have it line up where you would like for it to show well. 

From your floral paper cut a piece for the front to 2 5/8” x 5”, a piece for your inside panel to 2 1/8” x 5” and a piece for the middle panel to 1 1/8” x 5”.  Take your neutral piece measuring 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” piece and the 2 5/8” x 5” floral piece and adhere the floral piece to it and then adhere the left side of the neutral piece to the front flap.  Use the 2 1/8” x 5” floral piece to the 4” x 5 ¼” piece (to either side, use your preference as I did one of each) and then adhere this to the back panel of the inside of your card.  Then adhere the last floral piece to the neutral piece and adhere that to the middle panel on the inside. 

Use a decorative stamp and\or die to decorate the front and use a greeting stamp and label to go with it on the front.  Stamp a greeting on the inside back panel of the card if you wish. 

This gives you a really nice card design to use for any type of card you prefer.
