HEY GIRLFRIEND POP UP

January 9, 2021

When I first saw this stamp set I knew I had to have it. My son said it was a kick back from Barbie, but I just love the set. I have made so many wonderful "Girl Friends" since I started Stampin' Up and so this one just touched my heart. It also reminded me of how much I have missed being with my "Girl Friends".

Then I made this cute card using Darling Donkeys and the Pop Up mechanism and I knew I had to try it with the Hey Girlfriends!

I was afraid that the girls would crash into each other. That didn't seem to be a problem at all. I think you could put flowers instead of the girls or even a bouquet of flowers in the middle between them. To me this card leaves itself open to a multitude of stamps and ideas

INSIDE:
Cut 11 x 4 1/4 Rococo Rose, score @ 5 1/2
Cut 12 x 4 Whisper White, score @ 4 1/2, 6 & 7 1/2, burnish the score lines. At the 4 1/2" line mark on each edge 1" above and below the score line on each side. Mark 1" in on the same score line on each side (put a mark at 1" & 3"). Using a silicone mat and scoring tool draw score lines from the mark on the fold line diagonally to the lines on the side. (Check out the video below if this is not clear). Fold the little score lines so that they pop up

Fold the Whisper White card in half and trim with the Paper Trimmer to create an opening in the top. Leave about 3/8" on each side, snip this piece out with Paper Snips

Cut 5 x 3 1/4 Rococo Rose, with 5" side at the top score @ 1/2 inch, glue the score line to the score line on the Rococo Rose card base. It will come up through the hole

Glue the Whisper White inside to the Rococo Rose on each end. Do not glue the center mountain fold down

Cut the greeting shape from Hippo & Friends Dies in Whisper White and stamp the greeting from Happy Thoughts in Rococo Rose, glue to the Rococo Rose pop up

Stamp the girls 2 of the girls from Girlfriends in Tuxedo Black Momento, color with Rococo Rose, Soft Suede light, So Saffron Light & Ivory, fussy cut around the images, glue their feet to the inside of the card

Punch 1 balloon from each color of foil in the Love You Always Foil Sheets, glue the Sahara Sand balloon to the top and add the Rococo Rose & Blushing Bride with dimensionals

FRONT:

cut 5 1/8 x 3 7/8 Whisper White, adhere to the card front

Cut 5 x 3 3/4 Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper (THIS IS FREE WITH A $50 ORDER DURING SALE-A-BRATION)

Die cut Rococo Rose using the largest Hippo & Friends shape

Die cut Whisper White using the 2nd largest Hippo & Friends shape, stamp the girl in Tuxedo Black Momento & color
Adhere shapes together and attach with Dimensionals to the card front

Die cut smallest Stitched So Sweetly Die and stamp the greeting in Tuxedo Black Momento. Adhere on the left with glue and on the right with a Dimensional.

Finish off the card with Basic Rhinestones

Painted Pumpkins Fun Fold Card

By Debbie Chronister • September 30, 2026

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.

Z Fold Fun Flap with Beautiful Ordinary Life

By Debbie Chronister • September 23, 2026

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!

Thinking of You Meets Crisp Cantaloupe

By Debbie Chronister • September 16, 2026

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.

No Line Coloring Lovely Arrangements

By Debbie Chronister • September 9, 2026

This fun easel card features a beautiful mix of warm, earthy colors. The flowers from the Lovely Arrangements Bundle were created using the no-line coloring technique with Pecan Pie, Basic Beige, and Golden Glow, then layered with leaves from Nature's Symphony Dies against a rich Peaceful Pine background. Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake cardstock add softness, while a striped piece of Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper brings extra pattern and interest. Peaceful Pine Bordered Ribbon, tied in a simple bow, and coordinating embellishments complete the card front. The birthday greeting inside serves as the stopper that holds the easel open, making this card as fun to display as it is to receive!

By Debbie Chronister • August 26, 2026

If you love interactive cards, you're going to enjoy this elegant Peek-A-Boo Slider Card! At first glance, the rich botanical pattern from the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper takes center stage with its deep greens, delicate ferns, and warm golden blossoms. But with one simple pull, a hidden surprise is revealed, making this card as fun to open as it is beautiful to display. For this design, I paired the gorgeous Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper with Mossy Meadow and Golden Glow cardstock to bring out the rich colors in the paper. The layered circular slider creates the perfect focal point, revealing the "Thinking of You" at first glance
