Berry Botanical Vellum Joy Fold Card



Today I made a Joy Fold card using the May Product of the Month, Berry Botanical Vellum, which is a full package of 12" by 12" thick, colored vellum--3 each of 4 different prints and I've used ALL of them on this card. If you don't know about Stampin' Up's Product of the Month, if you spend $75 or more on an individual order (before taxes and shipping/handling) this month, you will be able to buy this vellum package for only $5!!! An amazing deal that you only buy one each month, but you can buy the prior month's Product of the Month, for as long as they last.

If you are more of a visual learner, please watch my Facebook Live below to guide you on making this card, and then come back every Monday at 1 pm PST on Facebook and watch me make another card. 

Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:

  1. Fresh Freesia cardstock—card base 5 1/2" by 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼” on the long side and folded along the score line. 
  2. Basic White cardstock-- 8" by 3" scored on the long side at 4" and fold along the fold line, small scrap for the front sentiment
  3.  Berry Botanical Vellum Specialty DSP--2 3/4" by 3 3/4" for the front. 2 pieces of the Fresh Freesia Vellum each 4" by 5 1/4", Peaceful Pine polka dot piece for the inside is 1/2" by 3". Fussy Cut some leaves and a flower.
  4. Stamp set--Exciting Times
  5. Punch--Rounded Rectangle
  6. Ink— Fresh Freesia, Blueberry Bushel
  7. Shimmer Brushes--Peaceful Pine and Crisp Cantaloupe 
  8. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue and Seal+), Paper Trimmer, Stamp, Cut and Emboss Machine, Take Your Pick Tool,  Piercing Mat or Glass Mat Studio, Regular and Mini Dimensionals
Open up your Fresh Freesia card base. Cut off a triangle from the front by putting the outside front bottom corner and the top of the fold along the Paper Trimmer track and cut off the top triangle as you can see below. 

Attach one of the Fresh Freesia Vellum pieces to the inside of the card. Cut the other Vellum in half diagonally from the top left to the bottom right. I cut a bit off the long edge of the triangle to give a little more of the border showing. Attach this to the card front. To attach the vellum I used a small sponge dabbed in the Multipurpose Glue. 

Fold the 8" by 3" piece of Basic White in half. Attach the 2 3/4" by 3 3/4" Vellum to the front. Stamp the outline piece of the sentiment in Fresh Freesia on a scrap of Basic White. Stamp the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel and punch out with the Rounded Rectangle punch. 

Attach to the folded white piece to the little card with Dimensionals. Take the leaf and flower that you fussy cut out and use the Peaceful Pine and Cantaloupe Shimmer Brushes (be sure to shake them up well before using) and color part of the leaves and the inner part of the flower. Let dry for a bit, then glue the leaves under the sentiment piece. Attach the flower with a Mini Dimensional.



Attach the Basic White little card to the inside of the open card, making sure you can fold the little card shut on top of the diagonal cut Fresh Freesia card front.

  3rd Charming Duck Pond Post This card is a modified gate-fold card as the left front is just 1 1/4". I love how you can use most of the page of the 6" by 6" piece of DSP scenery to make this card. Sometimes I use the back side for the little pieces, but this time I used a separate piece of DSP with just the rushes on it. Enjoy!

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

Gingerbread Man & Woman Aren't these gingerbread man and woman just so cute? They are from the new 2025 Sept-Dec Mini Catalog that goes live to everyone at midnight 9/3/25. I am sure they are going to be a big seller, so get yours quickly before they sell out (just my prediction). The stamp set has lots of different expressions for our little gingerbread person, and the dies have many different objects for them to hold, but the cutest part of the bundle is that the die cuts 2 gingerbread men that you fold in half to make a card that can open.  This set is called Gingerbread Man, but I just had to see if I could make a gingerbread woman as he seemed to need a girlfriend. I don't know if you can tell, but her skirt is made from one of the Coneflower Celebrations dies cut from both Real Red and Garden Green cardstock. I'm sure whomever thought up those dies never thought they'd be used like this.  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Thick Basic White car...
