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!

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.

The Details of My Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards – Set 1

My Centre-Step Card

For my first alternative card, I used my favourite fun fold and create a centre-step card! I thought this fold would be a fun way to use the handbag card base with the precut handbag that extended past the centre panel.

The only extra products that I added were the Lost Lagoon card base which was cut and scored according to the template below and the Calypso Coral “hello” using the Circle of Seasons Dies add-on. I die cut the hello three times and glued them together to give it dimension.

For my card, I only used the front of the handbag card base. First, I cut off the bottom of the card base for the bottom panel. The bottom of the handbag from the card base will be seen, but once the precut handbag is added on top, it will be covered up.

For the centre panel, I figured out where the centre of the card base was and made my measurements going from the inside out. This allowed the floral image to continue onto the side panels. To line up the flowers I had trim the sides down resulting them in being short So, I added a small square of the envelop at the bottom of my side panels to fill in the space.

The finishing touch was to pop-up the handbag, add the flowers and sentiment with twine just like it the original card.

Measurements:

  • Lost Lagoon Card Base:
    • 11” x 4 ¼” cut/scored according to template below
  • Centre Panel:
    • 2-1/8” x 4 ½”
  • 2 Side Strips:
    • 7/8” x 3-3/8”
    • 7/8” x 7/8” (envelope)
  • Bottom Panel:
    • 7/8” x 4-1/8”
  • Calypso Coral:
    • Scraps
  • Other Pieces from Kit:
    • Handbag Precut Paper Piece
    • Handbag Handle
    • Floral Precut Paper Pieces
    • Sentiment Piece
    • Twine

My Z-Fold Card

For my second alternative card, I decided to create a z-fold card using the printed part of the envelope for the inside panel. So, I scored the front of the Card Base from the Kit in half at 2-1/8” to create my fold. Then, I used the retired Subtles Embossing Folder to add some interest to the front of my card.

I loved the window precut piece! So, the only thing I added was a die cut Calypso Coral “Hello” with a stamped sentiment tucked in behind it.

For the inside, I just trimmed off one of the envelope flaps. I found this added interest and colour to the inside of my card.

A bow made with the twine was all it needed for embellishments.

Measurements:

  • Card base (from Kit):
    • 4 ¼” x 5 ½” scored at 2-1/8”
  • Flap of Envelope
  • Other Pieces from Kit:
    • Window Precut Paper Pieces

    • Twine

My Half-Front Card

For my next Farmhouse Florals Alternative Card using Farmhouse Foral August 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a half-front card.

This card was cased from Laura Seki with a few tweaks from me. Loved how easy it was to create this card! First, I used my retired Subtles Embossing fold on the front again. Then, I cut the front in half and adhered the right side down to the inside card base.

My Hello Card

For my final Farmhouse Florals Alternative Card, I had the back of one of the card bases leftover. So, I decided to use it and added a Lost Lagoon card base with the last window pre-cut piece.

The Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper goes perfectly with the colours. So, I added a piece with a Secret Sea mat to help ground my window. I did some stamping to add interest where the top edge of my DSP ended.

As you might have noticed, I love the Circle of Seasons Dies add-on and used the “Hello” again on this card. I die cut it three times and glued them together. It just adds interest without being over the top!

The finishing touch was the stamped sentiment and a bow from the twine.

Measurements:

  • Lost Lagoon Card Base:
    • 4 ¼” x 5 ½”
  • White Card Back:
    • 5-3/8” 4-3/8”
