I finally got a chance to play with the Velvet Meadows designer series paper and Flowering Meadow stamps and dies set from Stampin’ Up. I use it to make this beautiful Z-Fold Panel card, or at least that is what I am calling it. This floral paper which has some bright colors that stand out but also muted colors as well along with flocking on some of the white flowers, I really like it and it was perfect for this card design.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Cloud Cover card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
- Bubble Bath card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Velvet Meadow designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
- stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
- ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop dots
From a piece of Cloud Cover card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. From some Bubble Bath card stock cut a piece to 4 ¾” x 10 ½” and score at 3 ½” and 7”, then fold the center panel to the right and the top panel to the left forming your z-fold. From white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” for the front of your Cloud Cover base. Then three pieces measuring 3 3/8” x 4 5/8”, one to 2 ¾” x 4” and one to 1 34” x 2 ¼”. From the Velvet Meadow designer series paper pack find the Cloud Cover piece that has a light design and then the full floral piece. With the Cloud Cover piece cut one to 4” x 5 ¼” and one to 1 5/8” x 2”. Cut three of the floral paper to 3 ¼” x 4 ½” and keep in order so it flows when card is open.
Take your Cloud Cover card base and adhere the white piece measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” to the front of it, and then the Cloud Cover designer series paper piece measuring 4” x 5 ¼” to that. Now adhere the back right panel of the z-fold Bubble Bath piece to the center of the card base. Adhere the three white pieces to each panel of your pink z-fold. Then one of each of the floral pieces to the front of each of the white pieces. Adhere the white piece measuring 2 ¾” x 4” over the back floral piece of your card base.
From a scrap piece of Cloud Cover use the square label with scallop edge from the Scalloped Blooms dies. Adhere the white piece and then the small Cloud Cover designer series paper piece. Use Peaceful Pine ink to stamp the 3-flower stems (I did stamp off so they were not so dark), Daffodil Delight ink to stamp the three flowers and Berry Burst ink (stamped off) for the flower centers and use the dies to cut them out. Build the flower to the left side of your label. Use the tag die from the Scalloped Blooms dies and cut out a white tag, stamp the “thanks” stamp from the Flowering Meadows and stamp off and then stamp on the label. Then take a piece of Peaceful Pine Bordered Ribbon, feed it through the whole of your tag folded half and use a piece of white twine to wrap around the ribbon and tie into a bow. Adhere the tag slightly over your flowers to the right side of your label. Adhere the label to the front of your card in the lower center of the front panel.
Take the “you always make me smile” stamp from the Flowering Meadows stamp set and stamp (stamped off) in Peaceful Pine ink along the left side of your inside label.
What a beautiful card to tell someone they are special to you.
