The Details of My Bee-cuz I Said Hi!
I loved this cutie and had fun colouring him with my Copic markers! In fact, I used a technique where I added some Colourless Blender to an old towel and then dab it to the coloured image. This created a textured effect that looked like fur. I just needed to make sure I didn’t over saturate the towel and press too long. Otherwise the ink might bleed out of the lines.
Colourless Blender Fur Technique
Once he was coloured, I used a stencil, Pool Party Ink and my Blending Brushed to create clouds around him. For the bee’s flight pattern, I used a Clear Star Gelly Roll pen to make it shimmer. Then, I die cut him out with layered Stitched Dies with a Pool Party Mat.
The Cute As Can Bee Designer Series Paper was perfect for my bee theme. And I loved the bright colours! Reminded me that Spring is just around the corner!
The printed sentiment was trimmed down and matted with a Petunia Pop mat. To balance the sentiment, I added some stitched honeycomb dies in the opposite corner with another one behind the sentiment.
A finishing touch was a scattering of Mini Bee Trinkets.
Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Floral Bridge Card using the Fragrant Layers Bundle by Stampin’ Up! I decide to make a triple panel bridge card to show off the beautiful die cuts from the Fragrant Layers Dies. Don’t you just love it when the card is closed, and the insides are hidden creating a nice surprise as the recipient opens the card!
The Details of My Floral Bridge Card
For my card, I wanted to showcase the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper with its metallic gold foil details.
First, I created the card base and cut it according to the measurements below. I went with larger side panels since I didn’t want too much space on either side of my central die cut panel. Plus, the “floral bridge” limited how wide it could be too.
Close Up of Focal Point
I thought it would be a fun bridge if I used the largest solid floral to join my two side panels! Old Olive leaves tie in the DSP colours and added some interest.
The sentiment was stamped in Old Olive and die cut using the flag in the die set.
For the central panel, I used the background floral die and layered the Lovely & Beautiful DSP behind it. Love that it peeks through!
Second Panel inside Card
For the inside, I love how the gold accents on the DSP are revealed as you open the card! A Basic White message piece was stamped in Peach Pie and added to the card base.
Third Panel Inside Card
A scattering of Pearlized Faceted Circles added some sparkle to the front.
Instructions:
Score and cut card base.
Die cut the central panel with the background floral die
Embossed the Basic White panels with the Eyelet Embossing Folder and adhere to side panels
Using a strong glue, like liquid glue, adhere the Peach Pie floral die cut to side panels. Tuck in Old Olive leaves.
Stamp sentiment and pop up
Adhere the DSP to the back of the central panel
Stamp flower on inside Basic White piece and adhere making sure to line up with the DSP

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Watercolor Thank you Cards using the Watercolor in Bloom December 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made 11 alternative cards including 7 with fun folds and 4 as regular cards. So, I thought I would share details of the three more complex fun folds here. I have included at the end, a brief description of the other cards as well.
But, first, here are the three cards that the kit makes. Immerse yourself in lush botanicals and an evocative palette of deep blues and greens with the Watercolor in Bloom Paper Pumpkin Kit! These stunning cards showcase lovely layers and eye-catching copper accents, with sentiment stamps that make it easy to personalize your greetings. Whether you’re expressing gratitude or reaching out to a loved one, your message is sure to be unforgettable when it arrives in one of these gorgeous cards!

The Details of My Watercolor Thank You Cards
My Twisty Thank You Card
For my card, I used a 5 ½” x 11” Basic White card base and scored it according to the measurements below. Then, I layered a Night of Navy mat with a Shaded Spruce mat. The final layer was the envelope from the Kit trimmed down to fit.
My Twisty Thank You Card
For my focal point, I used a leftover card base from the kit and matted it with Night of Navy. The sentiment was stamped and die cut out with one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies. To add visual interest, I added a Garden Green leafy vine from the Nature’s Symphony Dies and popped up some flowers from the Abundant Joy Add-on Dies. The finishing touch were some copper sequins that came in the kit.

Inside of My Twisty Thank You Card
Now, for the inside! I decided to use the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the Basic White strips. These were layered onto Shaded Spruce mats.
Inside of Card
Once that was done, it was time to add my tags. I die cut them twice. Once using the card bases and then again with Shaded Spruce and adhered them together. The sentiment was stamped and die cut with a rectangle from the Textured Notes Dies and adhered to the Shaded Spruce side. Some Baker’s Twine from my stash finished them.
Flipped Inside Tags and Sentiments
To adhere them correctly, it is best to have the inside of the card fully opened. This will help to get the sentiment facing the correct way. I learned the hard way! It took me a couple tries before I had it! Lol!
All Inside Sentiments Displayed
Don’t you just love that when you open the card you get the first set of sentiments and then you keep opening and the sentiments flip to see the other side of them. When the card is fully open, you get all three sentiments displayed.

My Double Flap Fun Fold Card
For my next alternative card, I had a number of scraps leftover from my other alternative cards. So, I decided to create this fun fold that is like a card within a card.
My Double Flap Fun Fold Card
I used the negative oval frame from when I made my other cards and layered it onto a Shaded Spruce mat. This is a great way to use up scraps that you would otherwise throw out and extend their use! I stamped the sentiment on an oval from the kit and added some stamped accents to fill the space. A Shaded Spruce flower from the Abundant Joy Add-on Dies was popped up for interest. A scattering of copper sequins from the Kit were added for sparkle.
Close Up of Focal Point
Once the focal point was done, it was time to work on the card base. I used an 8 ¼” x 4 ¼” Basic White card base scored at 5 ½”. For the front flap, I used a Shaded Spruce Mat with the part of the leafy card base. The focal point was popped up on the front flap of the card.
Inside of My Double Flap Fun Fold Card
Inside of Card
For the inside, I used a Shaded Spruce Mat and embossed a Secret Sea piece with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder. This created the foundation for my smaller inside card which measured 9” x 3 ¼” and scored at 4 ½”. I decorated the inside card front with another Shaded Spruce mat and a part of the leafy card base from the kit with some die cut Basic White flowers. I stamped the sentiment on a sentiment strip from the kit and layered some leaves and a Secret Sea flower around it.
Inside of Smaller Card
The inside of the smaller card consisted of a Shaded Spruce Mat with a Basic White message area where I stamped the third sentiment. I love that all the sentiments in the Kit go together so well! I added a left over strip of the leafy card front.

My Faux-Step Card
For my next alternative card using the Watercolor in Bloom December 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a faux-step card. I shared this in my Facebook Group and there was a lot of interest in it. So, I decided to share it here too.
My Faux-Step Card
First, I measured and scored the two pieces for the card base according to the measurements below. Then, I used the preprinted rectangle piece and trimmed a little off the top and bottom to fit my card. This was matted with a Night of Navy piece. The sentiment was stamped on a rectangle provided in the Kit and decorated like the instructions mentioned.
Side View of Card
Next, I trimmed down an envelope to create my bottom panel which I matted with Night of Navy. I love that the envelopes are printed allowing greater card making capabilities!
Finally, for the inside panel, I used part of a card base provided in the Kit and matted it with Night of Navy.

My Other Alternative Watercolor Thank You Cards
Here are my other alternative cards that created using the Watercolor in Bloom December 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit.
First, I created a fun centre-step card. I made the focal point for the centre panel as directed in the instructions but adhered it to my favourite fun fold! I trimmed down a card base for my sides and bottom panels.
Centre-Step Card
Next, I created a fun barn door card. I trimmed the card base at 2 3/4” to create my door. Then I added a piece of Eyelet 3D Embossed Pretty Peacock that measured 2 3/4” x 4” on the inside in the opening. I created my focal point and adhered only the bottom half to the front of the card.
Barn Door Card
Then, I created an easy z-fold card. I made the front focal point the same as the instructions but used the oval on the inside to create a place to write a message. I also used the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder behind the oval to add interest and fill in the space.
Z-Fold Card
The next card that I created was a book binding card with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder for the binding and White Baker’s Twine.
Book Binding Card
These final cards are regular card bases using the elements from the Kit with the addition of card stock and the Abundant Joy Add-on Dies.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Elegant Thank You Card using the Textured Notes Bundle by Stampin’ Up! This is my second card using this Bundle and I decided to create another elegant black, white and gray card to match the DSP. I will post my other card at the end of this post. This DSP is currently on the Last Chance List. So, get it while you can!
The Details of My Elegant Thank You Card
For my card, I stamped the woven wicker circle in Smokey Slate and punched it out with the 1 ¾” punch. Then, I punched out a piece of the dark leafy DSP with the same punch.
I embossed a piece of Basic Black with the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder. To add some texture, I took a strip of Smokey Slate and tore it along the edge. The Smokey Slate Two-Tone Cardstock would look awesome here, but I didn’t have it.
Next, I heat embossed in white the sentiment and die cut it out with the long thin die from the Textured Notes Dies. I also used this die to die cut another strip of DSP that I layered behind the sentiment.
Once that was done, I layered a piece of white leafy DSP behind my focal point with a border of Smokey Slate that I die cut with the Textured Notes Dies. All this was layered onto a Basic Black card base.
As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Neutral Matte Dots in black and white and a bow using the White Woven Ribbon.
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!

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!
My Z-Fold Flip-Flap Card
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.
Inside Flip-Flap
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!
My Love Note Card
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”.

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.
My Pop-Up Lunch Note Card
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.
Inside of Card
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.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my My Thankful Hydrangea Card using the Lovely Garden Suite Collection which includes the Thankful Garden Bundle, Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper, Starburst Sequins, and Fresh Freesia Faux Velvet Ribbon by Stampin’ Up! I made this pretty split panel card for a swap.
The Details of My My Thankful Hydrangea Card
The Thankful Garden Bundle comes with masks for the flowers, and I have been wanting to give them a try! So, I used my Blending Brushes and Blueberry Bushel Ink to brush ink onto the different masks of the petals. I used a light touch with the first mask and gradually added more ink and pressure as I went creating lots of dimension. I also, did this with Garden Green for the leaves.
Once I had my flower coloured, I made a couple of extras of the petals and die cut/fussy cut some out which I then added to the top of the flower with dimensionals. Where there was white showing on these extra die cut petals, I brushed ink to help blend them in.
Now, it was time to design my card. Since I decided on a split panel card, I used the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder on the front 2 panels to give it interest without taking away from the flower. Next, I added my DSP strip to the inside of my card allowing it to peek out through the gap.
I used the second largest Nested Essentials Die and die cut the DSP for a backdrop to my flower. This also was my anchor between the two front panels. The flower on top also gave this panel extra stability.
For the sentiment, I heat embossed it in white on a scrap of Blueberry Bushel and just trimmed it down with my paper snips to fit.
As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Starburst Sequins.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Note of Thanks Card using the Botanical Textures Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I decided to create an elegant grayscale card using the Textured Notes Dies and the Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper for my inspiration.
The Details of My Notes of Thanks Card
My card was for a swap, and I thought a z-fold card would create a fun element with the rectangle dies from the Textured Notes Dies that I layered to create my focal point.
Top of Z-Fold
First, I stamped the leaves from the Textured Noted Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Basic White while keeping in mind the placement of my other elements. I love the different textures of the Distinktive leaves peek out from behind the sentiment!
Next, I heat embossed in white the sentiment and die cut it out with the long thin die from the Textured Notes Dies. I also used this die to die cut another strip of DSP that I layered behind the sentiment.
Once that was done, I used my 1-7/8” punch on a leaf motif from the DSP to match my stamped leaves. I matted this with a 2”” punched Basic Black card stock piece.
To finish my focal point, I layered the different die cut rectangles that matched my colour scheme.
For the card base, I used another leaf motif to match my other leaves for the front of the card. Then, I used the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder for the inside Basic White piece. I loved how it added interest when the card front is closed, but the recipient would be surprised that it completed the inside.
Inside of Card
In order to have a place for the message, I added another Basic White die cut piece to the smaller panel on the inside.
As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Neutral Matte Dots in black and white to my card front on the stamped piece and to the circle leave DSP.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Poppin’ Hello Card using the Poppin’ By Bundle which includes the Poppin’ By Stamp Set and Poppin’ By Dies by Stampin’ Up! I needed to make a shoebox swap and thought that this cutie would be perfect…just look at those shoes and glasses! So cute!
The Details of My Poppin’ Hello Card
For my card, I knew that I wanted to have the popcorn guy as my main focal point! So, I pulled out my Crushed Curry and Real Red Stampin’ Write Markers and coloured the rubber stamp with them. Then, I “huffed” with my breath on the stamp to moisten it and reactivated the ink before I stamped him. Such a fun technique that I haven’t done in a while!
Once he was stamped and die cut out, I glued on his shoes and his 3D glasses. I could have left off the lens of the glasses, but I thought a 3D look would be fun!
To create my focal point, I added a die cut Balmy Blue flag from the Birthday Celebration Dies. I stamped “POP” randomly on it in Balmy Blue for a subtle tone-on-tone look.
For the sentiment, I used two Basic Black die cut film strips that I layered behind the Real Red stamped sentiment.
All of this was layered onto the Turtle-y Cute DSP, matted with Crushed Curry and adhered to my Real Red card base.
As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Holographic Resin Dots. Perfect for that 3D look!

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Daisy Daydream Alternative Cards using the Daisy Daydream March 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I loved this kit with its pretty paper pieces (especially those bees!), printed cards and envelopes! So, I made five alternative cards with only adding Balmy Blue card stock to two of them.
But, first, here are the three cards that the kit makes. Perfect for all occasions, these beautifully crafted cards bring a touch of nature-inspired charm to your handmade creations.
Daisy Daydream March 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit
The Details of My Daisy Daydream Alternative Cards
My Centre-Step Card
For my first alternative card, I used my favourite fun fold and create a centre-step card! The beautiful printed card bases lend themselves to this fun fold. The only extra product that I added was the Balmy Blue card base which was cut and scored according to the template below.
My Centre-Step Card
For the centre panel, I cut the front of one of the daisy cards in half and used the right side for my centre panel. Next, I popped up a large daisy at the top and tucked in a honeycomb piece so that it hung off the edge.
The side panels were from the envelope with the daisies on the front that I cut apart. Since the panels were so thin, I was able to cut both panels using just the front left side of the envelope.
Side View of Centre-Step Card
For the bottom panel, I added the daisy chain behind my sentiment and tucked in another honeycomb hanging off the edge of the centre panel. The daisy chain was a little long. So, I used my paper snips and trimmed off the green leaves on either side of it.
The finishing touch was the bee popped up on the centre panel. You might notice that I again had the bee hanging off the edge of the centre panel. I loved this look which added visual interest and brought the eye to the back panels.
Measurements:
Card Base:
11” x 4 ¼” cut/scored according to template below
Centre Panel:
2-1/8” x 5-3/8”
2 Side Strips (from Envelope):
7/8” x 4-3/8”
Other Pieces from Kit:
Daisy Precut Paper Pieces
Bee Precut Paper Piece
Honeycomb Paper Pieces
Sentiment Piece
My Easel Card
For my second alternative card, I decided to create an easel card with the daisy chain being used inside as my stopper. So, I scored the front of the Blue Card Base from the Kit in half at 2-1/8” to create my fold.
I used the remaining half of the Daisy card front and cut the back of that card base in half to use one panel for the front and the other panel on the inside.
My Easel Card
For my focal point, I layered several elements from the Kit. I used the leftover circle from the Circle Layered piece to matt the green circle. Then, I added the full-length daisy making sure that when the card was in easel layout that the daisy did not extend beyond the card at the bottom. I tucked in a honeycomb behind my sentiment and popped up the bee. Note: Only add adhesive to the bottom of this circle focal point.
Easel Card Open
For the inside, I added the final panel from the daisy card base and popped up the daisy chain to create the stopper. I love how this looks when the card is in easel form with the daisy chain mirroring the daisies on the card front.
Measurements:
Blue Card base (from Kit):
4 ¼” x 5 ½” scored at 2-1/8”
Daisy Card Base (3 Pieces):
2” x 5-3/8”
Other Pieces from Kit:
Daisy Precut Paper Pieces
Bee Precut Paper Piece
Honeycomb Paper Piece
Green Circle
Leftover Circle
Sentiment Piece
My Faux-Step Card
For my next alternative card using the Daisy Daydream March 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a faux-step card.
I used two of the yellow card bases from the kit to create my card. One I trimmed 3 ½” off the full card base to create my centre panel. For the back panels, I used a full card base and scored it according to the measurements listed below. There was a score from the original card that I ignored. Once that panel with the original score was covered up with the card stock and the printed envelop, it was not noticeable. Hence why my mats are 1/8” instead of ¼” …less card base showing.
My Faux-Step Card
For this card, the only extra product that I used was some Balmy Blue Card Stock to mat my pieces. The rest was from envelops which included the front right of the blue envelop and the envelope with the bee on the front. Once the envelope with the bee was cut apart, I was able to use the front piece for the back panel that ran the length of the card. Then, I used the back of the envelope for the bottom panel.
Side of My Faux-Step Card
Again, for my focal point, I layered several pieces from the kit together.
Measurements:
2 Yellow Card Bases:
4 ¼” x 5 ½” scored at 1 ¼”, 2 ½” and 5 ½”
3 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
Balmy Blue (3 Pieces):
3-3/8” x 4-1/8” (Centre Panel)
1-1/8” x 5-3/8” (Bottom Panel)
2-7/8” x 5-3/8” (Back Panel)
Envelope Pieces:
3 ¼” x 4” (Blue Envelope)
1” x 5 ¼”
2 ¾’ x 5 ¼”
Other Pieces from Kit:
Daisy Precut Paper Piece
Bee Precut Paper Piece
Honeycomb Paper Piece
Green Circle
Sentiment Piece
My Birthday Card
For this alternative card, I decided to use the circle layer on top of the daisy card to create a peekaboo to the daisies below. I added several Daisy Pre-cut Paper Pieces around the sentiment and popped up the bee.
My Birthday Card

Pieces from Kit:
Daisy Card Base
Circle Layer
Daisy Precut Paper Pieces
Bee Precut Paper Piece
Sentiment Piece
My Thank You Card
For my last alternative card, I had the daisy part leftover from the blue envelop and thought it would be pretty peeking through the circle layer.
My Thank You Card
The daisy just fit in the circle to the point that I adhered it directly to the circle layer. If I had popped it up, the edges would have been noticeable. So, instead, I popped up the whole circle layer.
Once again, I layered several pieces, including a large daisy, sentiment, honeycomb, vellum and a bee, from the kit for my focal point. I added an extra bee since I had one leftover.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Just a Little Note Card using the Penciled Pear Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! Since masculine cards are so hard to make, I decided to create a masculine card with this stamp for a swap. In fact, I made 2 different cards with similar layouts.
My Two Variations
The Details of My Just a Little Note Card
For my card, I knew that I wanted to watercolour the pear with my Water Painters and ink that I squished onto my glass mat. Such a fun technique that allowed me to pick up as much ink as I needed!
Ink Pools
So, I heat embossed in black my stamped pear on watercolor paper. Tip: the heat embossing created a raised edge that kept the ink in the lines. Once that was done, I water coloured the pear in different colours since they can come in various shades of colours until they ripen. To add interest, I picked up the different inks on my brush and splattered it into onto the watercolor paper.
I matted the finished water coloured piece onto Old Olive and Basic White card stock to create my focal point.
Close Up of Focal Point
The sentiment was stamped in Black, die cut out and linen thread was added beneath it. The pears stamp was stamped multiple times in Crushed Curry onto Crush Curry card stock to add even more interest. This was matted with Basic White.
Next, I embossed the Early Espresso card stock with Timber 3D Embossing Folder to add to the masculine feel of my card.
The finishing touch was Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots in the opposite corner from my sentiment. Don’t you think these dots look like golf balls (hmmm ideas! lol!)? Very masculine!

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Painted Petals Centre-Step Cards using the July Painted Petals Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! When I saw this kit, I was in love with it, especially how the die cuts all layer on top of the card fronts! So many ideas came flooding into my head! Lol! In fact, I created five alternative cards using the Kit. But, first, here are the three cards that the kit makes. They are so pretty!
Three Cards from the Kit
The Details of My Painted Petal Centre-Step Cards
For my three alternative cards, I decided to use my favourite fun fold, a centre-step! I kept the extra products down as much as possible by only adding card stock and the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder.
For the rose flower card, I decided to use the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder for the various strips to add some interested. I also decided to use the Old Olive card backing from one of the cards instead of the matching card front for variation.
Rose Centre-Step Card
For the daisy flower card, I had some of the Old Olive card backing from the previous card. So, I used it for the two side strips. The bottom strip was left over from the front of the card when I trimmed it down. I love that you can see the splotches on it! I decided to use the matching card front for the centre panel and layered the die cut on top of this panel.
Daisy Centre-Step Card
For the poppy flower card, I used all the bits from the card base. Since the poppy die cut was longer than the others, I decided not to trim down the centre panel as much, leaving the sides of the bottom panel free for the sentiment on one side and the embellishments on the other.
Poppy Centre-Step Card
Measurements of My Painted Petals Centre-Step Cards:
Card Base:
11″ x 4 ¼” cut/scored according to template below
Centre Panel:
2-1/8″ x 4-3/8″
2 Side Strips:

Bottom Strip:

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Best Father’s Day Card using The Best There Is May 2024 Paper Pumpkin by Stampin’ Up!
The Details of My Alternative Cards
I had so much fun playing with the kit that I made the 3 cards in the kit. This kit’s wood grain textured designs are perfect for making masculine and all-occasion cards.
Cards in The Best There Is May 2024 Paper Pumpkin
In addition to them, I also made 6 alternative cards that included 3 thank you cards, a sympathy card, a birthday card and a Father’s Day card. For 4 of the cards, I also use the Add-on Thanks & Beyond Dies. Please see them below.
My Alternative Cards
The Details of My Best Father’s Day Card
For my final two cards, I thought I would go into more in-depth details. I decided to create a Flippy Fun Fold card that was sure to wow! I made a Father’s Day card using the stamp in the kit and a birthday card using the Throughout the Year Stamp Set.
Best Father’s Day Card
The largest of the circles from the Stylish Shaped Dies fitted the preprinted tree circle perfectly with a nice border! So, I die cut the circle from the Misty Moonlight card base towards the top to leave enough space for my sentiment. Next, I die cut a circle from Early Espresso on which I mounted the preprinted tree circle.
Inside of My Best Father’s Day Card
For my inside, I cut and scored a Basic Beige card base according to the instructions below. I adhered this card base to the Misty Moonlight card base with the larger panel at the back and the smaller tab panel at the front. Note: make sure you only add glue to the top and bottom of the small tab panel. You will see the smaller tab panel showing through the die cut circle. Using my Paper Snips, I cut where the small tab panel over lapped the circle on the front and adhered that to the back of the larger panel thus hiding it.
Inside of Card Flat
Next, I decorated the inside with the striped paper and the Early Espresso mats. For the Basic White panel, I stamped in Early Espresso the trees that came in the Kit to match the trees on the preprinted circle and then matted it with the Early Espresso mat.
Once the inside was done, I closed my card, added glue to only the part of the panel that can be seen through the die cut circle and adhered the Early Espresso circle in place.
Inside of Card Standing Up
Finally, I added a couple of strips to my sentiment piece to tie in the inside papers and to balance out my circle focal point.
The finishing touch was to add some Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots to my card.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Mediterranean Hello Card using the Citrus Blooms Bundle which includes the Citrus Blooms Stamp Set and the matching Citrus Blooms Dies by Stampin’ Up! I was keen to use this Bundle. So, I created this card was for a swap that I participated in on the weekend.
The Details of My Mediterranean Hello Card
For my card, I loved the tile look of the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper and thought it would be a striking background for the die cut oranges from the DSP!
So, I decided to use the largest die from the Citrus Blooms Dies to create a base for my focal point. For this Basic White piece, I used the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder to add some texture and break up the white. This embossing folder went so well with my “tile” idea!
To add even more interested, I stamped the tilework image in Boho Blue in opposite corners on the Boho Blue card base.
The finishing touches were a linen thread bow on the oranges and a scattering of Opal Rounds.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Let’s Catch Up Card using the Latte Love Bundle and the Coffee with Friends Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! I thought it would be fun to combine them onto one card! They were just meant to be together! Lol!
The Details of My Let’s Catch Up Card
For my card, I decided to create a “polaroid” of the girls like a reminder for them to get together and catch up. As an alternative to colouring them, I embossed them with white embossing powder on Calypso Coral. Then, I die cut them out using the largest stitched square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used Early Espresso for my first card but found it too dark (see top right card in photo below). So, I switched it up with the Calypso Coral. I tweaked another card (bottom) until I landed on my finished design (top left).
Different Variations of my Card
Since I made a “polaroid”, I had the perfect space to add the Lost Lagoon sentiment. For the Pecan Pie coffee drips, I stamped off before stamping them onto the Basic White so that they didn’t interfere with the other elements.
I loved that one of the Latte Love Dies cut out the coffee cups in the DSP! I made this card for a swap, and I had different coffee cups on my cards!
My Swap Cards
Next, I added a plaid flag with the Stylish Shapes Dies that had Calypso Coral in it to tie in my colour scheme and to balance the coffee cup.
I decided to place my focal point at an angle to fit all my elements onto the card. I layered this onto a piece of Pecan Pie that I embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. You could also use the new So Swirly Embossing Folder, but I didn’t have that yet. Lol! Another piece of the DSP was placed so that it just peeked out from behind the focal point and tied in the Lost Lagoon colour.
Finally, I finished the card with a few Adhesive-Backed Swirl Dots to add a fun element to my card.
Supplies:
Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Latte Love Bundle (163461), Coffee with Friends Stamp Set (161389), Stylish Shapes Dies (159183)
Inks: Lost Lagoon (161678), Pecan Pie (161665), VersaMark Ink (102283)

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Lantern Window Card using the Lighting the Way Stamp Set and the Lighting the Way Dies by Stampin’ Up!
The Details of My Lantern Window Card
For my card, I decided to create a Window Double Open Fun Fold that allowed the gorgeous Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper to show through behind the beautiful lantern.
First, I stamped the trail of lights in Gorgeous Grape on the card base for a tone-on-tone look.
Next, I used with the Deckle Circle Dies to create my window frame. Tip: add glue along the edge of the larger Crumb Cake die cut circle and adhere to the Gorgeous Grape card base before cutting out the circle centre. Then cut out both at the same time so that everything lines up.
I die cut the fireflies in White Glimmer Specialty Paper and brushes some Crushed Curry to their tails to make them glow. I placed the two on the front of the card following the trail of lights and one on the inside showing through the window.
Inside of Card
The lantern was die cut twice in the Holographic Paper for the front and for the back to give the lantern a finished look from inside. I added some vellum to the inside of the lantern on which I stamped the fire glow in Crushed Curry.
The embossed sentiment helped to hold the lantern in place while a bow of Linen Thread and a glue dot anchored the top of the lantern.
For the inside of the card, I created the double open part by adhering the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper to folded Basic White card stock. Thus, creating a perfect place to write your message.
The Message Inside Part
Finally, to add a bit more magical shimmer, I used the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels scattered around my lantern. These are also retiring. So, make sure you get them before they are gone.
