I recently celebrated an early 60th birthday with friends (they’re also turning 60 this year) and wanted to create a quick note card to thank those who brought gifts.
Today’s card was easy to mass produce, especially with the help of the Stampin’ Up! Stamparatus, a stamp positioning tool. Learn more about the benefits of the Stamparatus here.
TIP: When mass producing cards, pre-cut the layers and organize for efficient assembly.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Start with Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla Note Cards & Envelopes. The cards are cut to size (5 x 3 1/2) and scored. Adhere a 4 1/2 x 3 piece of Petal Pink card stock to the note card base with Snail Adhesive.
Using the Stamparatus, stamp the texture image from Pressed Flowers stamp set (earn Pressed Flowers free as a Stampin’ Rewards exclusive) in Petal Pink ink on a 4 1/8 x 2 5/8 piece of Very Vanilla card stock. Do the same with the floral image from Pressed Flowers in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
Wrap Basic Black Solid Baker’s Twine around Very Vanilla layer above and tie in a bow. Adhere to a 4 1/4 x 2 3/4 piece of Basic Black card stock and to card base with Snail Adhesive.
Using the Stamparatus, stamp the “thank you” sentiment from Love What You Do stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Very Vanilla card stock.
Crop the sentiment using the second smallest oval in Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies, the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine and Magnetic Platform (to help keep the die in place over the sentiment). Adhere sentiment as shown using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using the Stamparatus (see photo above), stamp second floral image from Pressed Flowers stamp set on the Very Vanilla note card envelopes.
Eleven cards – the finish line!

So elegant but still simple enough to replicate. Fantastic as always Mary!
Thank you, Laura C. That was my intention!
Beautiful, Mary! Happy early birthday! 60 is the new 30 so enjoy every minute of every day!
I adore that comparison (60 is the new 30)! Thanks, Annie.
Very pretty cards; thanks for sharing your story. Happiest Birthday Wishes to you and your friends! xo
Thanks, Donna! We had such a delightful time.
These are so simple and so chic, Mary! I love the soft border of Petal Pink! <3 Your pictures look like such fun!
Great design, Mary. Love the envelope adornment, too. I mostly cover the flaps, but I love the image on the envelope front. Thanks for the inspiring reminder.
Love your feedback . . . thanks, Linda!
Oops…I didn’t see that your birthday is not until November 29th, I have a few of those in my family also. One niece, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter share the month with you. The Before wish still remains.
I adore fall and the winter holidays so it’s only natural that my birthday is Nov. 29, Juanita
Happy Before Your Birthday Wishes, and to your friends! We September gals have to stick together. This is a wonderful “bonus” card, easy AND beautiful! I am sure your guest will LOVE receiving it. TFS.
What a sweet card and I wish you a Happy Birthday, my dear! If anyone deserves sweetness on her brithday, it is you!
Thanks, Karren. My birthday isn’t until Nov 29 (that means I can celebrate again, right)? It’s a big milestone!
Love the color combo and the texture added by the background stamp across the card. So pretty! Enjoy your day!
Thanks, Hilda. Anything with the Stampin’ Up! Petal Pink makes my heart go pitter pat!
Thanks for sharing these oh-so-pretty cards, Mary. They are so special and yet lend themselves beautifully to mass production with the Stamparatus. These could be made as an all-occasion set to use as very nice gifts, too….just change out the sentiment on the oval.
Thanks for sharing!
Bingo bango, Linda. New sentiment means a new card and purpose. Thanks for commenting
These cards are so sweet and easy. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for your comment, Shauna. They are definitely sweet and easy!
Gorgeous card Mary, simple and yet, so elegant!!
Love the way you framed this delicate little flowers.
Happy early Birthday to you my dear, looks like you had a fabulous time.
Sending lots of hugs and love.
Maria.
We even had to wear our crowns to the swimming pool – loads of fun, Maria
Stunning looking card my friend…….And happy early birthday wishes to you. Thanks for sharing!
Once I knew what I wanted to make (always takes the most time for me), the cards rolled out quickly! Thanks, Kadie.
