Berry Botanicals Vellum Cards

The BERRY BOTANICALS VELLUM 12x12 SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER was the Product of the Month for May 2026. At the time that I am writing this post, this product is still available for only $5 when you place a minimum purchase of $75.

I have so many ideas just waiting to be made for my Tuesday Stampers, and I finally buckled down to create these

Some were cased from Pinterest & others I created on my own.

Like this book binding card. Cards #1 & #3 were cased from Mary Fish. Card #1 - I changed up the sentiment choosing this thank you from SUNSHINE & TULIPS (which is now on the Last Chance List)

Card #2 I used a sentiment from PRAYERS & PROMISES

I changed up the sentiment on this next card using one from SUNSET COAST

And this fun fold card below - I received a card for my birthday last year with this fun fold, and just loved it and knew that I could recreate it someday. I used the birthday greeting from a retired set called SKETCHED BUTTERFLIES, and backed it with one of the SCALLOPED BLOOMS DIE.

Later, I found out that this fun fold was created by Laura Seki

Waterside Retreat

The WATERSIDE RETREAT designer paper has all these amazing scenes that make your card making a simple task, yet pops a WOW!!

I am not necessarily a beachy gal, but I do really love this beach scene.

I combined this scene with a sentiment from PRAYERS & PROMISES. Just a little bit of twine and 3 little seagulls flying about (from SUNSET COAST DIES) give the scene a "pop" - I cut some MINI DIMENSIONALS in half to pop up the seagulls. 

And that's it! EASY! Right!!

Prayers & Promises

Another card using the Waterside Retreat Designer Paper.

This one was super simple to make, letting the designer paper do most of the work for you.

The image was first die cut with the largest TEXTURED NOTES DIES, then bordered with some Gray Granite 4" x 5-3/8"

The sentiment comes from another one of my favorite new stamp sets - Prayer & Promises, and die cut out with the largest banner punch from Stylish Shapes.

Beautiful Gallery Sympathy

Another beautiful card made with the BEAUTIFUL GALLERY designer paper.

The Mossy Meadow Card Base is 4-1/4 x 11 scored at 5-1/2

Then I cut 1-3/4" off one side

The Designer Paper is cut 4" x 3-1/2". the extra piece I cut off from the top of the 6x6 paper is what I used on the right side of the inside of the card. It is embossed with a retired embossing folder.

I used the Prayers & Promises stamp set for the sentiment.

The floral sprig and the stamped image comes from Galley Blooms.

Other Measurements:

Very Vanilla: 1" wide

Mossy Meadow: 1-1/8" wide

Vellum: 1-3/8" wide

Nature Walk With Prayers & Promises

NATURE WALK Designer Paper is so gorgeous and this card features several of the prints in that 12x12 pack of paper 

This card also features one of my favorite stamp sets: PRAYERS & PROMISES.

The leaf sprig comes from PETALS OF BEAUTY 

I don't have a blog post to refer you to but it was inspired by Sarah Mauk a fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in Wisconsin.

I cut my sprig from Secret Sea card stock (not sure what Sarah used). This is a great layout that can be used with any designer paper and you would get a totally different look. Also a great way to use up your scraps.

FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN MARCH, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE GALLERY IN BLOOMS BUNDLE
