BUTTERFLY BRILLIANCE POP UP

February 16, 2021

This is a brand NEW set that Stampin' Up! will introduce in March to all our customers. It has some amazing dies that cut out both the images and a layer to accent the images. In this blog post I will introduce you to a different stamp set and a unique card layout. I hope you enjoy the post.



Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Gray Granite, score @ 4 1/4

Cut 5 1/4 x 4  Basic White, cut the largest circle you can in the center of this. You want the circle to be at least 3 1/2", attach to Gray Granite

Cut 5 1/8 x 3 7/8 Designer Series Paper, adhere to Basic White, placing adhesive on outer edges only

Cut 3 1/8" x 5 1/4" Designer Series Paper, attach to inside top portion of the card base, placing adhesive only on the two upper corners

Cut the circle in the front using the largest circle in the Stitched Shapes Dies, remove the patterned paper from both sides of the circle, cut with the next smaller circle in the Stitched Shapes Dies

Cut Basic White Circle using the largest circle from Stitched Shapes Dies

Cut a 4" x 5" Gray Granite, on 5" side, score at 2", 3", and 4", on 4 inch side, at 1/2" cut to the 1" (1st score line), move to 3 1/2" cut to the first score line, cut along the score line between the two cut lines, keep this piece, score @ 1 1/2

Accordion fold the 4" x 5" scored piece along the score lines, and then adhere the 3/4" x 2 1/2" piece to the center of the top one inch fold



Adhere the 2 inch base of the folded piece of cardstock to the bottom, inside base of the card, placing the first fold line 1 inch from the center fold of the card base

Fold the accordion piece of cardstock so that it is flat on the inside base of the card. Place adhesive onto the top of the 1/2" x 1" edge flaps, pull up the DSP and close the card on top of these flaps

Glue down the DSP on the inside to cover the mechanism

With the card in the closed position, fold the center tab along the score line, and place adhesive onto the top of the tab

Adhere the Basic White circle onto the tab, lining it up with the hole on the front of the card

Let It Snow! An Elegant Christmas Fun Fold Card
By Debbie Chronister • October 21, 2026
Let your Christmas wishes take wing with this beautiful Four Wing Christmas card!

This cheerful fall fun fold card combines pretty plaid, textured layers and a trio of colorful pumpkins! I used Calypso Coral and Basic White cardstock with Painted Patch Designer Series Paper for a fresh, welcoming autumn look. The Basic White panels are embossed with the Stone & Leaves embossing folder, adding a lovely leafy texture that complements the pumpkin patch theme. The diagonal cut give the card extra interest while allowing the layered focal point to take center stage. For the centerpiece, I layered a plaid panel over a Calypso Coral arch, creating a frame for pumpkins die cut from Calypso Coral, Timid Tiger and Crisp Cantaloupe. I love how these three shades work together, giving each pumpkin its own personality! Old Olive leaves and curling vines weave around the pumpkins and extend up the arch, bringing a touch of greenery to the design. A Basic White label with the “Warm wishes” greeting finishes the card beautifully, making it a sweet way to send a little autumn happiness to someone special.

This card is such a fun way to say “Oh, Happy Day!” It could be used for a retirement, birthday or any special occasion. I started with Basic Black Cardstock, which creates a bold frame and really makes the softer colors stand out. The beautiful watercolor background comes from the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper, with a little black-and-white pattern peeking out for added interest. The balloons from Balloon Festoon add the perfect touch of whimsy and dimension, while the greeting from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack makes creating the focal point quick and easy. I love how all of these elements come together for a cheerful card that could be used for a birthday or just about any happy occasion!

This cheerful Stampin’ Up! card features a soft, monochromatic color palette with Crisp Cantaloupe from Painted Pattern Designer Series Paper, using the playful polka dots and coordinating horizontal strips. The oversized “Thinking of You” greeting that is die cut in Crisp Cantaloupe using the "Thinking of You" dies takes center stage, layered over Basic White for added dimension. Adding Crisp Cantaloupe Bordered Ribbon, a delicate White Baker's Twine bow, and 2026-28 In Color Gems provide the perfect finishing touches to this sweet card that is sure to brighten someone’s day.
