A neat Tower card with video & free project sheet with Peaceful Garden

December 3, 2025

I just love this fun fold ‘tower’ card layout! It gives you lots of opportunities to feature your designer paper.

I featured the Peace on Earth bundle and the Modern Garden designer paper. The colors include White, Secret Sea and Silver. The Peace on Earth bundle was a ‘must have’ for me because of the pretty greetings and layering die-cuts. I like that the greetings include more than just Christmas making it quite versatile.

This Tower card fun fold is made with a 11″ X 4 1/4″ piece of card stock but scored 5 times across the long edge. Then you simply adhere the ends together and allow the other end to open. Genius!

Note how the center panel swivels a bit…. I stamped one card with a holiday greeting and the other with a sympathy greeting. You can see the back side of the Holiday card here. I pulled out a Paper Pumpkin stamp set to fit.

I love the textured embossing on the left White panel. That is from the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder seen here. I used just the side of this folder to achieve the textured edge.

I created a free project sheet for this card; simply click on this link to print or download it.

Here’s the tip on how the front panel swivels a bit on the fold. So easy to achieve!

It’s two strips of card stock about 1/2″ wide and 1″ long folded in half. Each half is adhered with the fold on the main card fold.

Below is the video tutorial for this card, another pretty Christmas card and a candy bar treat holder.

I played with the new Botanical Layers bundle for last week's Facebook Live. This unique bundle includes a stamp set and a pack of 60 sheets of printed & plain vellum and can be seen here.

Here's my favorite project:

I sponged colors of Bermuda Bay, Parakeet Party & Tahitian Tide onto one side of the vellum before adhering it to a layer of White CS. I added a die-cut from the Tropical Layer dies seen here (50% off right now!) and a greeting die-cut.

More ideas with the Botanical Layers & Lovely Layers vellum with video

May 29, 2022

Here are two more cards I made during last week's FB Live video. The Botanical Layers bundle includes both the stamp set and the Lovely Layers 3 3/4" X 5" vellum.

When I saw this piece of vellum with it's multi-hues vellum I knew I wanted to emulate a mountain scene.

Save

I used a direct to paper technique to add ink to this vellum. This means you rub your ink pad directly onto the paper. Watch the video here to see how it's done.

I used Tahitian Tide, Granny Apple Green & Orchid Oasis. I stamped the flowers in Black Memento ink.

Tip: Vellum does not absorb ink. It sits on top so it's best to heat set it or let it dry for an hour or more.

Save

For this next card I simply stamped a few of the images in the Botanical Layers stamp set onto the polka dot printed vellum. I used Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis inks.

Save

I also used the Amazing Thanks dies seen here. A simple strip of Parakeet Party card stock across the card highlights the greeting.

Sweet Songbirds is adorable on this cute card!

May 27, 2022

We made this adorable card at my May card clubs; it features the Sweet Songbirds bundle and three new In Colors.

Save

The new colors include Tahitian Tide (turquoise), Parakeet Party (green) and Sweet Sorbet (red) along with Soft Suede.

I shot a video of the easy steps to create this card; I hope you watch it. See it here or scroll down to watch it below.

That neat cloud border is created with the Basic Border dies seen here. I love these dies!!

Save

As you can see there are very few layers here; the stamped scene is all you need.

See the Sweet Songbird bundle here. The bird & wing are stamped on a separate piece of White CS and punched out. They're popped up as well as the sign (done on Sahara Sand CS).

Measurements:
• Tahitian Tide card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
• White front 5 1/4" X 4", inside is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2", scraps for bird punches
• Sahara Sand scrap for hanging sign
