Cutting & Scoring:
Night of Navy Cardstock — 8 ½” x 5 ½”, scored at 4 ¼” and folded in half; scrap
Basic White Cardstock – 5 ¼” x 4”, scrap
DSP – 5 ¼” x 4” (Petal Pink dotted design), 4 ¾” x 3 ½” (Balmy Blue dotted design), punched Petal Pink and Balmy Blue flowers from DSP
Ribbon – 20”
Instructions:
Stamp the thank you sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set in Night of Navy ink on the scrap piece of Basic White. Die cut with image shown above. At the same time, die cut the larger nesting image from the Night of Navy scrap. Adhere the two pieces together.
Glue the 4 ¾” x 3 ½” DSP to the 5 ¼” x 4” DSP.
Wrap the Night of Navy 3/8” Bordered Ribbon around this piece and tie a bow, fashioning it toward the left-hand side of the card.
Adhere all to the Night of Navy base.
With Stamin’ Dimensionals, add the sentiment to the card front, straddling the ribbon, snuggling the left side near the bow.
Add the punched flowers to the top left and bottom right of the sentiment with Glue Dots as shown above.
Using the Take Your Pick Tool, add the Night of Navy and Petal Pink Adhesive-Backed Milky Dot gems to the flower centers.
Glue the white cardstock to the inside of the card.
Here are a couple of other versions of this same greeting card. I just love how changing the Designer Series Paper designs gives the card just a little different look.

Hello, and welcome to the Stampers’ Dozen monthly blog hop. This month, we’re sharing handmade paper crafting projects created with bundles from Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. Be sure to visit all of the stamping blogs and be inspired. This spring catalog offers so many great products, and you’ll see some of them featured throughout the hop created by talented stampers.
Today, I use the Petal Park Bundle (Petal Park stamp set and coordinating Petal Park Builder Punch) to create a fun fold thank-you card.
Petal Park Fun Fold
From the front, this card looks like a “regular” card. But it’s really a Z fold. Look below to see how it opens.
Here are a few details and measurements.
Night of Navy base measures 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″
Regency Park Designer Series Paper measures 5 1/4″ x 4″
Z fold portion measures 9 3/4″ x 4 1/4″. Score at 3 1/4″ and 6 1/2″
Basic White panels measure 4″ x 3″
Extra Regency Park Designer Series Paper measures 4″ x 3″
In addition, I used the thank you sentiment from the Beautifully Happy Stamp Set (earn this set free with a $100 purchase during Stampin’ Up!’s SaleABration promotion) and Mango Melody colored gems from the Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots.
The Petal Park stamp set features the two-step stamping technique. This means it takes two stamps to create the images. But the photopolymer design (see-through stamps) make it easy to line up the images. Be sure to watch the video below to get step-by-step instructions to see how this card comes together. Use a Stampin’ Pierce Mat to ensure you get a nice stamped image.

Each week, I go live on my business Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/KimQuadePlaysWithPaper/) from my craft room in Mesa, Arizona, or add a video. I share what I’ve been working on in the previous week. This week, I feature three handmade greeting cards using Stampin’ Up!’s Cottage Rose Bundle. Find it on pages 56-57 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog.
I focused on this gorgeous bundle this week because I was asked to create a private card class that included a get well card, a friend card, and a birthday card suitable for a woman. This bundle fits all of those categories, and it’s just gorgeous. Especially when paired with the coordinating Abigail Rose 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.
I needed to design these cards to be easy to make for eight stampers. But they also had to be beautiful.
Purchase this bundle for $53 and you’ll be able to select one free Level 1 SaleABration item. What is SaleABration? It is Stampin’ Up!’s most exciting sale of the year. Choose free product when you make qualifying purchases. This promotion runs through February 28, 2023, or while supplies last.

Have you seen the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper in Stampin’ Up!’s SaleABration brochure? (Click here to see an online version of the whole brochure,) The 12 x 12, double-sided paper features bold flower images perfect for card making. At first glance, the images seem to be “too much.” But I discovered that cutting the paper into smaller pieces makes for some beautiful cards. Click here to see a blog post with a variety of samples.
The Favored Flowers DSP coordinates with the Fragrant Flowers Bundle in Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. Two dies cut images directly from the paper. I had a lot of fun making cards with the patterned paper, but wanted to see what I could do with the stamp set and die.
For the card above, I stamped the large flower with Calypso Coral ink on Shimmery White Card Stock and die cut with coordinating die. Layered on Basic Black and a piece of the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper.
Be sure to check your order numbers for this bundle. Stampin’ Up! offers it in both photopolymer and cling.
Fragrant Flowers Friend Card/Black and White
Here are some details of how this card came together:
Embossed the large flower image with black embossing powder on Shimmery White Card Stock and die cut with coordinating die.
Layered on a piece of Basic Black Card Stock die cut with Stitched Rectangle Dies.
Added a piece of Perfectly Penned Designer Series Paper cut at 5 1/4 x 4 on a Basic Black Card Stock base.
Embossed the “friend” sentiment with Black Embossing Powder and cut with coordinating ide.
Added a bow created with black backer’s twine.
