Welcome to Team Stamp It’s February Blog Hop! Thanks so much for joining us! This month, we feature cards and projects with a spring theme. Be sure to visit all the participating stampers to gain a host of paper crafting inspiration. Leave a comment on each blog for a chance to win a Painted Wishes Card Kit.
For me, spring means tulips. (Even though tulips are not a “thing” here in Arizona. I grew up in the Midwest where we eagerly awaited the first tulips poking through the dirt.) I use Stampin’ Up!’s Mixed Florals Photopolymer Stamp Set as the focal point of today’s card. Look for it as one of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives. If you haven’t checked out the Online Exclusives, I highly recommend you do so. It includes so many fun products not included in the catalogs. Click here to check them all out.

My niece recently celebrated her 40th birthday, and I was invited to go on a girls’ trip. I wanted to create a fun and special card to help her celebrate. (Today’s card is similar to the one I gave her, but I wanted to recreate it to share with you.)
It’s been a long time since I made one of these very special designs. But they sure are fun! I used Stampin’ Up!’s Wildflower Birthday 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper as inspiration. Not only do the designs include festive colors, the DSP package offers two sheets of beautiful die cuts. Find this patterned paper in Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2025 Mini Catalog.
What’s more: this design folds up and fits in one of Stampin’ Up!’s Medium White Envelopes.
Here’s a view from the top.
Measurements and Details
Here are a few measurements to help you get started. Be sure to watch the video below to help you make sense of the measurements.
Card stock measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2. Score at 2, 4, 6, and 8.
Burnish all folds. With snips, cut away the small piece on the short side. (See video.)
Designer Series Paper for the bottom outside: four pieces measuring 1 3/4 x 4
Designer Series Paper for the top: four pieces measuring 1 3/4 x 2
Same card stock color measuring 1 x 3, score at 1/2 inch on each side and cut down the middle to make two pieces measuring 1/2 x 3.
Window Sheet pieces measuring 1/2 x 1. You’ll need as many of these as the pop-up pieces you decide to include.
Die cuts
Sentiment and additional embellishments, if desired.
Here’s another sample using Stampin’ Up!’s Marbled Elegance Suite Collection.

I do hope you enjoyed today’s project. It’s not a new design, but it was fun to revisit this project. Please let me know if you have questions.
One of my ladies’ groups asked me to help them create a shaker card. At nearly the same time, Stampin’ Up!’s Artisan Design Team showcased a quick and easy way to make a shaker card with Stampin’ Up! products. The secret ingredient is the Medium Clear Envelope. I modified the project a little bit. Today, I share the card with you. It uses the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle. Find it in the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog.
