Berry Botanicals Vellum Birthday Card

Hi friends! Today, I'm sharing another card featuring the Berry Botanicals Vellum, May's Product of the Month! I am having so much fun creating with this specialty vellum pack. The beautiful patterns make it easy to create stunning card backgrounds with very little effort, and this floral design immediately caught my eye. 

One of my favorite things about the Berry Botanicals Vellum is how it adds color, texture, and interest without overwhelming the card. The soft translucent finish gives projects a unique look that’s difficult to achieve with traditional designer paper.

For this card, I paired the vellum with the Scalloped Blooms and Boutique Blossoms Bundles. The scalloped circle creates the perfect focal point for the sentiment, while the flower and leaf accents coordinate beautifully with the floral vellum background. I also added a touch of ribbon and a few embellishments for extra detail.

If you’d like to create this card yourself, you have two ways to get the tutorial. You can purchase the PDF tutorial through my PDF Store, or you can earn it FREE with a $75 order in my online store now through May 31.

The tutorial includes step-by-step instructions for this card plus 11 additional projects created by five talented Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. It’s packed with creative ideas and inspiration featuring the Berry Botanicals Vellum.

Three Step Fold | Relaxing Waterside

 Hi friends!

 I had so much fun creating this masculine card during my Thursday at 3 PM live class featuring the Relaxing Waterside Bundle! You can watch the replay at the bottom of this post. 

This fold is called a three-step card, and isn’t it amazing?! I’m in love with all the layers and dimensions, but it still folds flat for mailing, which makes it even better!

This card was inspired by my friend Debra Harrison (see her card here). I took her design and ran with it, and I love it.

The new Peaceful Pine In Color was the perfect choice for the card base and really gives this project that relaxing lakeside feel. I paired it with the woodgrain and plaid patterns for lots of texture and cozy cabin vibes. The chair from the Relaxing Waterside Bundle completely steals the show on this card!

I stamped and die-cut all the images from the Relaxing Waterside Bundle with Basic Gray Ink for a softer look instead of traditional black. The sentiments were stamped with both Basic Gray and Secret Sea Ink, which added just the right amount of contrast without overpowering the design. The little coffee cup was colored with Crisp Cantaloupe Stampin’ Blends and adds the sweetest pop of color!

One of my favorite things about this project is all the fun dimensions created with the three-step design. As the card opens, each section reveals more layers and detail, making it such a fantastic card for birthdays, Father’s Day, or anyone who loves the outdoors. It looks impressive, but it’s actually so much easier to create than it appears!

Happy Father's Day Dad | Relaxing Waterside

Hi friends!

This Father’s Day card is giving all the peaceful lakeside vibes, and I love it. I created this beauty during my Tuesday at 10 live class, and it turned out so amazing! I used the Relaxing Waterside Bundle along with the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper, and wow… the softness and detail in these papers just make everything come together so effortlessly.

You can watch the replay HERE on my YouTube Channel. Don’t forget to like and subscribe so you don’t miss any of my other classes.

For this card, I started with a Thick Basic White card base and layered on a piece of Shaded Spruce. I’m in love with how that thin border of color pulls out all those soft greens in the designer series paper. I added my scenic layer of DSP right on top, and just that alone already feels like a quiet morning by the water.

Next up is that gorgeous Adirondack chair. I die-cut it from Basic White cardstock, pieced it together, and popped it up on the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals to add depth. I stamped the sentiment with Basic Gray and Secret Sea ink, keeping everything soft and cohesive with the overall look.

Now for the fun details… I fussy-cut the oar and life jacket from another sheet of the designer series paper (yes, it’s worth it!) and adhered them to the chair with liquid glue. Then I tied a sweet little bow with Linen Thread and added it to the oar to fill in that negative space perfectly. To finish the front, I sprinkled a few Secret Sea embellishments across the card, just enough sparkle without taking away from that calm, relaxing scene.

And of course, I didn’t forget the inside! I added a strip of that striped designer series paper to tie everything together and give it a polished, finished look.

 MEASUREMENTS:

Card Base: 4-1/4" x 11", scored & folded at 5-1/2"

Peaceful Pine cardstock layer: 4-1/8" x 5-3/8"”

Have a Great Birthday | Relaxing Waterside

Hi friends!

This card just makes me smile… it feels calm, peaceful, and a little coastal. Like a quiet moment by the water. I created this during my Tuesday at 10 live class with the Relaxing Waterside Bundle, and I love how all the little details came together.

You can watch the replay HERE on my YouTube Channel. Don't forget to like and subscribe so you don't miss any of my other classes. 

There’s something about starting with a crisp white card base that always feels like a fresh beginning. I layered on Misty Moonlight cardstock and that gorgeous striped designer paper from the Waterside Retreat pack, and WOW, that pattern really sets the tone. It reminds me of soft waves or even a breezy beach towel… either way, I’m in love with it.

The arches really frame everything so beautifully. Adding that subtle shading to the white arch with Crumb Cake and Cloud Cover ink gave it just enough depth without taking away from the clean look.

Okay, can we talk about this chair for a second? I’m in love with how it turned out. I stamped it in Basic Gray and colored it with Cloud Cover Blends, and it just feels so soft and relaxing, like the perfect place to sit and watch the water.

The little details are what make this card so special… the book (because yes, I’d absolutely be sitting there reading), the cattails, and those sweet seagulls flying overhead. It tells a whole story without saying a word.

The finishing touches really bring it all together. That sentiment banner with the linen thread tucked behind it adds just the right amount of texture. And those die-cut cattails layered in? So simple, but they add so much interest and movement.

I kept the inside just as thoughtful, stamping the cattails and a seagull to carry that peaceful scene all the way through. This is one of those cards that feels complete from the inside out.

This card is a beautiful reminder that simple layers and thoughtful details can create something really special.

 MEASUREMENTS:

Card Base: 4-1/4" x 11", scored & folded at 5-1/2"

Misty Moonlight cardstock layer: 4-1/8" x 5-3/8"”

Waterside Retreat DSP layer (stripes): 4" x 5-1/4"
