Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing the second set of my Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards using the Floral Farmhouse August 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made a total of 8 alternatives and thought to split them into 2 posts. So, I decided to group all the typewriter cards together for my second post. I will link the other post at the end.

But, first, here are the three cards that the kit makes. The Farmhouse Florals Paper Pumpkin brings a playful twist to classic blooms, featuring hand-painted flowers arranged in unexpected places. These versatile cards are perfect for thank-you notes or sending sweet messages any time of year. With whimsical designs full of rustic character, each card feels like a little surprise!

The Details of My Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards – Set 2

My Z-Fold Flip-Flap Card

For my first alternative card of this set, I created a z-fold card with a flip-flap on the front. Since the typewriter was small, I thought a small flip-flap would be a good way to highlight it. I used my Subtles Embossing Folder to emboss the front of the card base and then folded it in half at 2-1/8”.

Once that was time, it was time to build my focal point. I used the Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper for another card and decided to use it again to with a Secret Sea mat to anchor my flip-flap. This DSP goes perfectly with the Kit!

For the flip-flap, I used a 3” Lost Lagoon Card base on which I added a piece of Secret Sea that was embossed with the Subtles Folder. On the front, I used the Circle of Seasons Dies for the circle cut from an envelope, the Lost Lagoon “hello” and the Calypso Coral flowers.

For the inside, I stamped a piece of envelope, matted it with Secret Sea and added a strip of the printed envelope for my background. Upon this, I added the typewriter with the stamped Just a note. For a pop of colour, I added the yellow flowers.

Next, I added a stamped piece on the inside using scraps from an envelope and a Lost Lagoon mat. I made this the same size at the front so that it was a surprise when it was opened.

The finishing touch was to add some small pearls to the centre of my flowers on the front.

My Love Note Card

For my second alternative card using the Farmhouse Florals Kit, I decided to create a card using one of the typewriter card bases from the kit. The printed card bases allowed me to create 4 alternative cards instead of the 2 cards left in the kit. Have to love when you can make more cards by just adding some card stock to the existing kit!

I trimmed down the card base from the kit to fit it onto my Lost Lagoon card base. I added a small border of Secret Sea to the top of my card to balance out the bottom printed border. Next, I added the “hello” from the Circle of Seasons Dies. To give it dimension, I die cut it 3 times and glued them together. I thought adding it to where the paper in the typewriter was, gave it a whimsical touch. I stamped the sentiment and tied it with the twine through the “o” of the “hello”. The only other thing was to add some of the floral clusters pre-cut pieces around the “hello”.

  • 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

My Pop-Up Lunch Note Card

For my next alternative card using Farmhouse Foral August 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a Pop-Up Lunch Note Card. I shared this card at the beginning of September when school was starting as something to pop into a lunch bucket for the first day of school. It was a big hit, and I was asked for measurements. So, I thought I would add it to my list of cards.

This card is very similar to the Flip-Flap of my first card, but this card came first! Lol! I used my Subtles Folder to emboss the Lost Lagoon on the front. Next, I added the die cut circle using scraps from an envelope, the Secret Sea die cut “hello”, the stamped sentiment and yellow flowers with the twine.

For the inside, I thought a fun pop-up typewriter with an encouraging sentiment from the Sunrise Sailing Stamp Set would be fun! I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap of white envelope and added a scrap of the printed blue envelop to the top. All this was matted onto a piece of Lost Lagoon. Next, I created a very simple mechanism for my typewriter (see measurements below). To add a bit of colour, I used some of the floral pre-cut pieces.

Measurements:

• Secret Sea Card Base:
  • 3” x 6” scored at 3”
  • Scrap for hello

My For You Card
