Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards 2

Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards-Set 2 - 4 hello cards
Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards 2

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”.

Measurements:

  • Lost Lagoon Card base:
    • 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

    • ¼” x 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.

My Faux-Step Hello Card

My Faux-Step Hello Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Faux-Step Hello Card using elements from the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I have included a downloadable Faux Centre-Step Template at the end of this post that has all the measurements on it. 

The Details of My Faux-Step Hello Card

This card was for a swap and since I needed several cards, I had to use different pieces of DSP. Luckily, this paper pack had many beautiful pieces from which to choose. I was able to get two cards from each sheet of DSP.

Two Versions of Card

For my card, I thought a faux-step card would suit the frame from the Gallery Blooms Dies make a pretty focal point almost like a framed piece of art! To make the Basic Beige frame fit onto the easel, I had to trim a little off the top and bottom, but it was so small that it was hardly noticeable. A strip of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper with a Basic Beige mat helped to ground my focal point.

Next, I used the Damask Designs Embossing Folder to emboss the Basic White piece that ran the length of the card behind the easel. Loved the subtleness of the design without taking away from the focal point! This was matted with Basic Beige card stock to match the frame.

Version 2 of Card

For the sentiment, I stamped it in Mossy Meadow on Basic White card stock and die cut it with the smallest banner from the Stylish Shaped Dies. Then, I tucked in the stamped Basic Beige floral cluster behind the sentiment.

Hello Sweet Friend Card

Hello Sweet Friend Card - a card with a rabbit and butterfly sitting on a mushroom
Hello Sweet Friend Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Hello Sweet Friend Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Hello Little Friend Bundle. This Bundle includes 5 images:

  • Title 1: Hello Little Friend JPG format only
  • Titles 2, 3: Mushrooms JPG/PNG format
  • Titles 4, 5: Sentiment: Hello Sweet Friend PNG/JPG format

The Details of My Hello Sweet Friend Card

I love this sweet image by Conie Fong and had fun colouring it with my Copic markers. Then, I added Wink of Stella to the butterfly wings to make them shimmer.

Since the scene was so large, I decided to use it for most of my card front with only a few die cuts as accents. So, I had the Mini Fanciful Flourish overlapping my main focal point as if nature is cradling the scene. A vellum die cut butterfly was the other accent that I added to mirror the butterfly in the scene.

For my papers, I went with some DSP from my stash that had a mushroom theme. Perfect for my scene.

The finishing touch was to add some Red Rhinestones for sparkle.

For my card, I went looking to see what I had in my stash that would fit a lotus flower and low and behold, I found an old Paper Pumpkin Kit that I didn’t finish! Lol

But first, I coloured my image with my Copic markers and decided to add a bright lotus flower to make the image pop from the background.

Next, I heat embossed in white the sentiment and added a Bubble Bath mat to make it stand out.

The Kit came with some clear resin dots that I added to my lily pad and around my focal point.

The finishing touch was to add some Dragonfly Trinkets. Perfect for a lily pond!

My Sending Hugs Card

My Sending Hugs Card - a card with a koala holding onto a tree
My Sending Hugs Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Sending Hugs Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Eucalyptus Tree Koala and Sentiment Bundle. Isn’t he just the cutest? This listing includes a total of 4 images:

  • Eucalyptus Tree Koala Right JPG format only
  • Eucalyptus Tree Koala Left JPG format only
  • Sending Hugs Sentiment JPG/PNG format

The Details of My Sending Hugs Card

First, I coloured this cutie with my Copic Markers and added Wink of Stella to the flower petals. I decided to use a W blend to give him a warm life-like colour.

Once that was done, I decided to create a faux-fun fold! Lol! I knew that I wanted to use my Palm Leaf Frame Die by Paper Rose, but my koala would have covered it almost completely. So, instead of centering him on the card, I turned the card and set him off to one side which meant he poked up above the card base. This placement gave my card a faux-step card look.

Next, I die cut the Tropical Escape DSP with the Palm Leaf Frame to add interest to it. Then, I layered a pink piece of DSP behind it to match the pink in the flowers. The pink flowers were cut from the DSP as well using the matching Tropical Dies.

The sentiment was die cut out with a stitched flag die and I layered a paper palm leaf and the pink flowers to match my DSP. To add interest to my palm leaf stem, I used a wooden skewer from my kitchen and wrapped it around to make it curl. Another palm leaf was tucked under my focal point.

The finishing touch was to add some rhinestones to the flower centres and card base for sparkle.
