I love Stampin’ Up! note cards & envelopes! You get 20 cards & envelopes in a pack all scored and ready to go! They are my “go to” favorite for thank you cards as well as quick & easy (and economical!) for when you need to make multiple cards! I have been “sheltering in place” and making many cards lately to send to friends, family, nursing homes, and our essential workers. Here’s a note card I made with the gorgeous new Ornate Garden Suite.
The Ornate Layers Dies in this suite are exquisite! They really add a beautiful layer to any card! I love how there’s one that fits the note cards perfectly! Here’s the details:
Card Base: Whisper White Note Card
Old Olive layers: 3 3/8 x 4 7/8, 2 3/16 x 3 9/16
Early Espresso Layer: 3 1/2 x 5 cut with Ornate Layers Die
Whisper White Layer: 2 1/16 x 3 7/16
Stamp Daisy from Ornate Style Stamp Set in Early Espresso on Whisper White piece toward the top.
Color Daisy with Old Olive and Daffodil Delight Blends.
Stamp Thanks from Ornate Thanks Stamp Set in Early Espresso on Whisper White piece along the bottom.
Adhere all the layers together.
Add 3/4 x 2 1/16 piece of DSP to Whisper White layer.
Add Old Olive ribbon from Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack with Mini Glue Dot.
Stamp and color envelope to coordinate.
You can easily adapt any note card to a standard size card. One way is simply to cut a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of coordinating cardstock and adhere the note card on top.
My family likes to recycle the cards I send them. It’s really kind of comical to see how they reuse them. I thought I would make is easier for them from now on by sending note cards. Here’s another quick tip/trick with note cards…
Cut a piece of coordinating cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and score it at 4 1/4. Then cut the note card in half. Adhere the top piece to the front of the card and turn over the other piece to adhere the written part to the inside of the card. Now you have a clean white piece to write on the inside. Quick & easy!!!
Which one do you prefer?
You can use note cards in so many ways! I shared previously how I used a note card (I stamped on the wrong side) to make a unique fun fold. Click HERE or on the image below to see the original post.
You could easily adapt this card to use with the Ornate Style stamp set or any floral stamp.
I hope you enjoyed today’s cards and tips & tricks! I love the Ornate Garden Suite so much I am featuring it in my monthly tutorials. Check out my Just Stampin’ Rewards below.

Welcome to my ABC Card Series! Throughout this series I’ll be sharing a variety of cards for every occasion from A to Z! I think I send more thank you cards than anything else. Today’s card is for my friend Laura who lives in Virginia. I recently visited her and her two talented chickens! Have you heard there’s a new chick in town?! The adorable chicken on today’s card is from the stamp set Birds of a Feather (available Sept. 4th in the new Holiday Catalog). I knew it would be perfect for her!
You know my go to for thank you cards is the Stampin’ Up! Note Cards & Envelopes. They are the perfect size for a handwritten note.
This card came together quick by using my favorite quick tools, Stampin’ Up! punches! I used the 1″, 2″, and 2 1/4″ Circle Punches along with the Layering Circles Dies for the little scalloped layer on the sentiment. The chicken was stamped in Memento Black Ink and colored with the So Saffron, Cherry Cobbler, and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment comes from another new stamp set in the Holiday Catalog, To Every Season (available Sept. 4th).
You can purchase this stamp set in a bundle with 4 coordinating punches (heart, leaf, snowflake, and bat). You SAVE 10% when you purchase the bundle! It’s so versatile and great for seasons and holidays year round!
How perfect is the DSP background?! It’s from the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper! I used it on the envelope too!
I found this t shirt at Cracker Barrel. Perfect thank you gift to go with the card! Laura loves her chickens and I think she will love this shirt!
Now you may be wondering about her “talented” chickens. Here’s a video…
I will be offering my Just Stampin’ Holiday Product Share Buffet for all the new Suites, Designer Series Papers, ribbons, etc. just like I have in the past. Check back for the full menu so you can be first in line!

Welcome to my ABC Card Series! Throughout this series I’ll be sharing a variety of cards for every occasion from A to Z! Want a quick & easy way to create fun cards & gifts? Paper Pumpkin is the way to go! I love getting my monthly Paper Pumpkin kits. I can take them with me when I travel for something to do in the hotel at night or while waiting for kids at practice, etc. Every kit includes an exclusive stamp set, ink spot, supplies and projects instructions. I love the surprise each month! Lately, Stampin’ Up! has been giving us sneak peeks in to what’s coming next. The July kit coordinated with 3 different product suites from the annual catalog so you get more bang for your buck and can keep using the stamp set and extra products in the kit to create even more! Love that! Each month Stampin’ Up! shares a video showing how to put the kit together. Here’s the video for the July Paper Pumpkin On My Mind kit.
My July box hadn’t arrived before I left for vacation so I took the June kit with me to the beach this summer. The June, A Little Smile, kit was all about sharing random acts of kindness through creativity in a fun and easy way. It included 16 fun-sized, beach-themed cards and envelopes and an exclusive carrying case so you’d always have your cards on hand to share wherever you go. It was perfect for our trip! Here’s a look at the stamp set and supplies that came in the June kit.
Here’s the intended cards with the kit. *You can choose to use any of the 5 different sentiments in the stamp set.
I gave some of these cards to the waiters/waitresses when we went out to dinner, left one for the housekeeper at the condo where we stayed, and put the tips for the Captain of the boat and the wonderful lady who gave me the best massage! This kit came at the perfect time! I didn’t make all the cards as intended. I wanted to play around and make some alternative cards too! I love to use the Stampin’ Up! note cards & envelopes with the extra supplies and stamps in my kit.
There’s always plenty of alternative ideas on Pinterest and the Paper Pumpkin Facebook Fan Club. I loved this fun fold by Dawn Olchefske and the candy/gift card purse by Rachel Tessman is just adorable! It’s made with two of the envelopes in the kit.
This kit worked well with one of my favorite new stamp sets in the annual catalog, Seaside Notions.
I love to walk the beach and my final card reminded me of one of my favorite little stories…
THE STARFISH STORY
One day a man was walking along the beach, when he noticed a boy hurriedly picking up and gently throwing things into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “Young man, what are you doing? The boy replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” The man laughed to himself and said, “Don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make any difference!” After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said…“I made a difference to that one.”
Together, we can make a difference too…one card at a time! Keep creating and sharing your handmade kindness!
