Today’s colorful card sends Zesty Birthday wishes using the Sweet Citrus Stamp Set and coordinating hybrid embossing folder/dies set. The hybrid embossing folder with the coordinating dies helps create cards that look complicated but really aren’t complicated at all. The embossing folder/die combo does all the hard work! The card is one created in a previous card class and the designer series paper background has since been discontinued. However, you can easily substitute with another paper or stamp and create your own background paper if the paper. Have fun creating this Sweet Citrus Zesty Birthday card!
FYI…this is the perfect card to accompany a drink kit for the margarita lover! 🙂
Watch how to recreate the Sweet Citrus Zesty Birthday card in the video below…

Today’s card features a fun fold. It’s a Dutch door birthday card featuring the Happiness Abounds Bundle and the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. The Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper is gorgeous! Best of all, focal flowers on the front panel are easily cut using the coordinating Blossoming Happiness dies. Participants in the recent Stamp-a-Stack had fun making three of these cards.
How do you create a Dutch door card? Start with your card base (4-1/4″ x 11″) and score at 5-1/2″. Next, cut the front panel in half at 2-1/8″ and then trim along the fold seam from the top to intersect and remove the top piece. In the photo below, you can see the decorated panel and card interior.

It was time for me to use the Flowering Tulips Bundle so for the recent card class, the theme was All About Tulips. What a fun bundle! And the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper provides a beautiful backdrop for a variety of card designs. The designer series paper is almost too pretty to cover! For this birthday card, the Flowering Tulips Bundle along with the designer paper creates a beautiful, cheerful card. The Tulips Dies create flowers with dimension for a perfect focal point. You can find the list of materials and an assembly video below on how to create the card, as well as, assemble the tulips.

Let’s have some fun with the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks. You’ll find the decorative masks on page 65 in the Jan-Jun 2022 Mini Catalog from Stampin’ Up! It’s easy to overlook them but don’t! There’s lots you can do with the masks to create a variety of card fronts. I have created samples using two different Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative masks. Plus, you’ll see two different options for using the masks. One option uses a large floral mask to create a focal point for a card front and the other option uses the repeating small flower design to create a background. A list of materials for creating the cards is below, as well as, an assembly video. You’ll see how easy it is to create beautiful cards with the decorative masks.
