Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is Fabulous Flowers. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Although it’s been a SLOW and cold spring, tulips can be often be seen peeking up through the snow, especially against buildings where the sun is warm. I used the beautiful Flowering Tulips Bundle to create today’s project:
This layout is called the Criss Cross Pocket Card, a design I learned from Lisa Curcio at Lisa’s Stamp Studio. Although this is not a new fun fold, it was new to me! The insert is a fun single panel card that you can stamp, decorate, and then write on. For this insert, I stamped, then adhered the front panel to the back, and then ran through the Cut and Emboss machine with one of the dies from the Flowering Tulips Dies. I punched out some of the small squares, but not all, to create some interest.
Here are the instructions:
BASE:
Blackberry Bliss: cut TWO @ 4 1/4″ x 11”, score at 5 1/2″
Cut one side of each panel on a diagonal from the top corner to the middle score at the bottom.
Make sure the second sheet is cut so that it’s FACING the other diagonal. (See below)
Adhere the two panels together so you have two ‘wings.’ Do not glue the wings down until you’ve added the DSP (next step).
OUTSIDE:
Designer Series Paper: 4” x 5 1/4″, cut on diagonal in half. If you are using a sheet of DSP that has a vertical design, watch how you cut the paper so that diagonals are the correct direction for the pattern.
Adhere these diagonal cuts to the fronts (two wings) of the card base.
Use a strong adhesive to glue or tape down the wings at the bottom of each wing in order to make an envelope.
INSERT:
Basic White: 3 5/8” x 5”
Highland Heather: 3 3/4″ x 5 1/8”
Cut one 11 x 4 1/4″ panel from top corner to score line. Cut the other panel the opposite way. Two panels cut ‘opposite’ of each otherAdhere one base to the other
A couple of things that I learned: When adhering the two criss-cross panels, use something strong, like Tear N Tape, and use it on the bottom of the two diagonal sides, not the center of the base. You can adhere either side down first, depending on which DSP you want to show more. For example, I wanted the patterned side to show more in the photo below, so it’s adhered on top of the solid DSP side.
Once the basic card is created, you can decorate the outside. I chose to create two tulips using Blackberry Bliss and Highland Heather with leaves and stems of Evening Evergreen. The sentiment is from the Flowering Tulips stamp set, stamped in Blackberry Bliss. I added a couple of iridescent sequins and a double bow of white baker’s twine to finish it off.
I had so much fun making this Criss-Cross card design, I made another one, with the tulips coming from the other direction, and a different color combination. They’re tons of fun to make!
In fact, once you get started, it’s hard to stop!
I hope you enjoyed my project today! More inspiration awaits! Use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on May 11. Our theme will be New 2022-2024 In Colors, with the Pals showcasing the brand new In Colors in the new Annual Catalog.
Until then, enjoy the Spring and all the flowers you love!
There are two things I love—functionality and fabulousness. And the Color & Contour bundle gives me both! With simple Two-Step stamps, I can create endless floral designs in any color combination I want.
And the watercolor effect the filler stamps create make it seem like I spent forever on something that took me only a few seconds. Total bonus? Get the bundle for 10% off! Here are three great samples and some ingredients and instructions:
Card 1:
Ombre 12″ X 12″ Specialty Paper, 159276 – Basic White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock INK: Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather, Polished Pink Classic Stampin’ Pads TOOLS Blender Pens, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stampin’ Seal+ BUNDLES 158356 – Color & Contour Bundle (English) INSTRUCTIONS Stamp images in ink then use the Blender Pen to add additional, softer color

Speaking of bonuses, the Scalloped Contours Dies included in this bundle have floral shapes that coordinate perfectly with the stamps. But I think the biggest bonus of all are the scalloped border dies. I’ve used these dies for tags, labels, card fronts, scrapbooking—honestly, it’s my go-to for everything. These dies are the secret ingredient to elevating any card, tag, label, and scrapbook page.
I love the cheerful, all-occasion sentiments and versatile line art images.

Easter is fast approaching, so I found a cute table favor that goes so well with our beautiful papers, especially the soon-to-be-retired Pansy Patch. The favors take very little supplies, and are so cute — don’t they look like Easter Bunny ears?
Bunny is a strip of designer series paper, 1 x 12. Score at 2, 5 1/4, 6 3/4 and 10. Nugget wrap is 1 x 3.
Use Tear & Tape on the ends, folding in, towards the center on the ends.
The two center score lines, fold towards each other.
On one of the ends, doesn’t matter which one, where the edge is adhered, apply another strip of Tear & Tape.
Stand bunny up, and adhere two ears together.
Wrap nugget and insert in bunny base.
Decorate: I used the Pansy Petals DSP, and a sentiment from the Springtime Friends stamp set. I used the Small Bloom Punch to punch out the little flowers, and then I ran them through with my Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I tied with various colors of Baker’s Twine.
Here’s what the back looks like — see the cute little Hershey’s nugget?
Any Easter or Spring sentiment is perfect, and any of the Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Papers are great.

These adorable Pansies are perfect for Spring, and I think here in Northern Minnesota, we’re ALL feeling the need for some color and warmth! Take a look at these three cards for three different kinds of papercrafters!
Pansy Patch Step-by-Step
Thank You Card (4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″) (10.8 x 14 cm)
CASUAL As one of the sentiments in the Pansy Patch Stamp Set says, “The little things you do make a big difference.” That can be true in life—and when sitting down to create a fabulous card for someone special. All the little details and love put into making your card can add up to one big hug that will make someone’s day!
To begin creating our lovely Besten Dank Pansy Patch step-ups, start simple. Fold Polished Pink Cardstock in half; add a layer of stamped Basic White Cardstock to the card front, then layer with just a few die-cut images. Notice that our artist used a Blending Brush to add subtle shading to the die-cut pansy bud. Easy to do. Fast. Fun!
AVID We stepped up our Thank You card with tone-on-tone stamping and pops of gold for extra pizzazz. We also used a Bone Folder to curl the flower petals and give them extra dimension.
ARTFULLY AVID To create our Mille mercis card, apply Granny Apple Green ink to the Basic White Cardstock layer using a Blending Brush, then run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Also, did you notice the pretty Baker’s Twine? We colored it with Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends to make it really stand out!

I’m featuring a card that will be featured in my Stampin’ Club this Saturday from a new spring stamp set in the January-June Mini Catalog. The stamp set Easter Friends is perfect for Easter and all spring long, or even baby cards.
Could this bunny be any cuter? And take a look at the rest of this darling stamp set:
Easter Friends
Love this! I started with a card base of Basic White, and then cut out a scalloped panel from the Scalloped Contours Dies using the Simply Marbleous Designer Series Papers. I then ran the panel through my die cutting machine with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. I mounted that on my card base.
I then cut out a tag from the Tailor Made Tags dies (the largest one), and stamped the bunny image on it in Grey Granite. I tied a double bow with some retired baker’s twine, and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I then took a scrap of Basic White card stock and stamped the “Happy Easter” sentiment with Coastal Cabana ink, and popped it onto the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple of sparkly Iridescent jewels, and I was done.
I hope you consider the Easter Friends stamp set for all your spring and Easter papercrafting needs!
Here are the supplies I used for this cute card. Then scroll on for more exciting info!

I’m back today to show you one more example of a custom gift box. At a recent Pals Online Meeting, Tammy Beard, fellow Stampin’ Pal, did such a great job of showing us how to create fun boxes. This rectangular box can fit one or two of our stamp cases — how fun to gift a friend a stamp set in one of these fun boxes?
I started with a piece of designer series paper from the Friendly Hello Bundle, from Sale-A-Bration, along with a panel of Pool Party cardstock. The piece for the top was cut at 7″ X 9 1/4″ and the bottom part of the box (the Pool Party paper) was cut at 8 1/2″ x 10 3/4″. Tammy Beard gave us the tip to cut the piece for the box bottom just a WEE bit smaller than specified to ensure the lid can go on easily.
Notice Tammy’s measurements below – once the paper pieces were cut, I scored all sides: the bottom (base) should be scored at 1 1/2″ on all sides, and the top (lid) should be scored at 3/4″ on all sides.
Then some slits were cut on two sides, opposite of each other, only one-inch cuts up to the next scoreline. Here is a graphic — the dark lines are scissor cuts. Even though it’s not a rectangle graphic, the idea is the same.
From there, you just fold and burnish at all the score lines and use a strong adhesive to tape the small corner flaps inside the side flaps. So easy! Then cut out a tag from the Taylor Made Tags Dies, and stamping with Tuxedo Black ink and coloring with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends. I attached to the box and added a a wrapped band and a bow with some retired ribbon.
Here are the supplies I used for this cute box. Then scroll on for more exciting info!
