Lovely Arrangements Classes

Posted on April 9, 2026April 3, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stampin Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing birthday cards. Fortuitously, today is the last of my March classes where we have been making birthday cards using the gorgeous Lovely Arrangements stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make these cards are:

Pop Out Accordion Card

Thick Basic White card base – 8” by 5⅞”” scored on the long-side at 2”, 4” and 6”
Cloud Cover- 5¾” by 1⅞” x 4
Thick Basic White base – 3” by 6” scored at 3”
Secret Sea – 2⅞” by 2 ⅞” x 2
Basic White 2¾” by 2¾” x 2
Scrap Basic White

The 4 pieces of Cloud Cover card were placed in a row, butted up against each other. The leafy sprig was then randomly stamped all over the panels with Cloud Cover ink. The stamped panels were then adhered to the larger Thick White card base, one in each of the sections.

The sentiment, from the Simply Said stamp set was stamped in Secret Sea ink onto one of the squares of Basic White card. I added a swirl of Cloud Cover ink using a Blending Brush before gluing the panel to the Secret Sea square and then to the other piece of Thick Basic White card.

With the larger card base folded up, accordion style I adhered the left-hand side of the decorated panel to the front of the accordion panel, taking care that it would fit in a standard C6 Envelope. I repeated this step to glue the back panel of the pop out portion.
