Stampin up stampinup stamp pretty orders online secret garden spring catalog card idea demonstrator
Today’s Secret Garden sympathy card easily could work as a birthday or thank you card with a simple switch of sentiment.  You’ll get the same crisp results when stamping and cropping the flowers using the Secret Garden stamp set and coordinating framelits dies from the Stampin’ Up! Spring Catalog.  Save 15% when you purchase them together (Wood-Mount Bundle 131100 OR Clear-Mount Bundle 131099).

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

  • Here are the details for this creative fold.  Start with a 4 1/4 x 11″ piece of card stock.  Using a Stampin’ Up! Simply Scored Scoring Tool, score and fold at 2 3/4″ and  5 1/2″.

  • I added panels of patterned paper (Stampin’ Up! Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack), sized 1/4″ smaller than the card base sections.  The sentiment “for your loss” is tucked into the center panel.

  • I left my ribbon tails a little longer so that the card can be easily retied.

    • Thanks for checking, Robin. I sell all my stamp sets and accessories pretty quickly after they retire, including this one. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.

  2. Mary, I’ve always been so in awe of the clear and perfectly angled photographs you do for your blog–they make your creations “come alive” and highlight them so well. But regardless of your mad photography skills, I have now had the honor and pleasure of seeing your work in person–and the photos can’t do your cards justice! This card is just so incredibly sweet and beautiful in person. The tone-on-tone stamping of the flowers and leaves made them look so velvety, I felt the card to see if you’d somehow managed to MAKE velvet with them! Thank you so much for your card, your support, your friendship, and your constant inspiration!

  15. Mary, your card is so “spring” and “uplifting” – I just love it — really like your color choices – I have seen the layout for this type of card before, but have never tried it. You have given me once again, an inspiration to share this card with my students – it’s absolutely beautiful.
    Mary, can share the dimensions for the focal part of your card (so sorry) – while I could figure it out, it would be easier just to ask you. Thank you in advance, and thank you for another beautiful card.

  16. I’ve made this card design before and NEVER thought to use the backside of the front panel to write my sentiment. BRILLIANT Mary……And thanks for sharing your GORGEOUS card with us. LOVE the Secret Garden Bundle!

  17. Lovely card, Mary. This is a very versatile design because, like you said, it can easily be changed into a birthday or thank you card just by changing the sentiment. This beautiful card is yet another reason why I’m anxiously waiting for my Secret Garden Bundle to arrive. Thank you for sharing.
