Easter with Floral Delight. Floral Delight is a Suite Collection which you can find on pages 33 – 37 of the January – April 2025 Mini. Spring is upon us, and often times we associate the vibrant yellows of daffodils with Easter. There aren’t any daffodils in the Floral Delight Suite, but the colours in the Designer Series Papers are mostly yellow with old olive and in the vellum pack, hints of blue. That spells Easter, right? So here’s what I made. Hope you like it.
Fold Flat Pop up Cross Card
This type of pop-up is on the front of the card. The layer is larger than the card front and has been scored so that the middle section pops up. A flat horizontal layer is adhered to the vertical structure and adhered toward the top to form the cross. To conceal where they overlap, circles have been added.
Cutting guide
- Card base : Daffodil Delight 7″ x 5 ½” (18 cm x 14 cm).
- On the long side, score at 3 ½” (9 cm) so that when the card is closed, it will measure 3 ½” x 5 ½” (9 cm x 14 cm)
- Cross bar : Old Olive cut at 3 ⅛” x 1 ¼” (7.9 cm x 3.2 cm)
- Old Olive 2″ (5 cm) circle mat layer
- Basic White to punch 1 ¾” (4.4 cm) circle mat layer for greeting plus extra for stamping floral elements with Delightful Wishes stamps and dies.
- Daffodil Delight for die cutting a small flower with Delightful Wishes Dies
- Basic White for inside card : 3 ⅜” x 5 ⅜” (8.6 cm x 13.7 cm)
- Old Olive inside card : 1″ x 3 ⅜” (2.5 cm x 8.6 cm)
Designer Series Paper
I used Floral Delight 12″x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper from the Floral Delight Suite Collection
- Cut 2 pieces ⅞” x 5 ¼” (2.2 cm x 13.3 cm) for panels A & E.

- Inside card ¾” x 3 ⅜” (1.9 cm x 9.2 cm)
Pop up layer

- On the short side score at 1″, 1 ⅞”, 3 ⅛” and 4″ (2.5 cm, 4.8 cm, 7.9 cm and 10.2 cm)
- Panels have been named A, B, C, D and E for easy reference in a later step.
