5×7 Card Ideas with a Twist! | Creative Die-Cutting with Bibi Cameron

Hello crafty friends, Bibi here! Today, I'm sharing 5×7 card ideas and inspiration using the new Flutter and Bloom stamp set and coordinating stencils and dies included in this month's release here.

I  made 2 different 5×7 card designs to introduce some new cardmaking ideas.

Flutter and Bloom Stamp, Die, Stencil, 3D Embossing Folder Bundle

This bundle includes an 8-1/2 x 11″ stamp set, it is huge!!! It also includes coordinating stencils, dies, and a gorgeous embossing folder. There are so many possibilities to create with these crafty goodies, depending on the ink colors we choose and the layout of the images – any project will look completely different!

5×7 Card Ideas with a Twist

Watch the card making process for my 5×7 card ideas with a twist below or over on YouTube.

I chose blue, purple, green and yellow shades of Altenew Fresh Dye Inks (mentioned in the supply list) for my cards. I also used smooth white cardstock (250 grams) to stamp the floral clusters and smooth white cardstock (300 grams) for the butterflies.

Top Tip:

Stamp the images first then die-cut them and stick them on a sticky mat. This makes stenciling easier as there is more space around the die-cuts to affix the stencils to the mat.

Card in a Card

This 5×7 card idea has a floral pocket on the front panel. Inside the pocket, there is a card insert that measures 5-1/2″ x 4- 3/4″. You can use the insert to add a gift card, a small gift, or money. You still have plenty of room to add a message inside this 5×7 card idea!

Bonus Card – Elegant Vellum Background

I was experimenting and I decided to create a bonus 5×7 card that includes an embossed background made out of vellum. The new Raised Sentiments Embossing Folder is absolutely beautiful, and it was perfect to give this idea a go. It is hard to see in the picture but it adds a beautiful touch to the card.

TIP: We all know that adding vellum to projects can be tricky because the glue can be seen behind it. So, I just wrapped the vellum edges around the front panel and I stuck it using a tape runner. 

To cover the bottom edge, I added a stripe of Gold Cardstock. As I wanted to make a birthday card, I used sentiments from the new Tangerine Grove Stamp Set.
