Velvet Meadow gatefold card with video & free project sheet

August 3, 2026

This is another card we made at my July card clubs. It features the Velvet Meadow specialty DSP seen here.

It’s a simple gatefold card. I matched most of the DSP so it created a full panel on the front. This DSP has fussy or flocked areas on it. It does feel velvety!

I also used the new Exciting Times punch bundle for the center. You can see it here.

Here’s what the inside looks like. I added a strip of the DSP along with the white for stamping and signing. Then added a skinny divider of Bubble Bath for a little accent color.

My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath and Peaceful Pine.

I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download or print it. Remember it’s a great idea to save these on your computer for easy access.

The video tutorial for this card and one more neat fun fold is below. Thanks for popping in today!

Daisy Garden with Picture This dies

July 15, 2021

Yesterday I shared a card featuring the Daisy Garden stamp set and today it's a totally different type of card.

The colors are Fresh Freesia, Black & White. The daisy stamp peeks out from behind the window die cut circles made with the Picture This dies on a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Black CS. Can you see the stitches?

These dies include both a large set of circles and another with three rectangles. You can use the windows like shown above or the die cut circles or rectangles which I used here for the greeting.

Check out the Picture This dies here.

And here is another way to use these dies; with Designer Paper behind the window. It's the gorgeous Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Paper seen here; it was unavailable for almost a month. And it was in stock for a week but it's unavailable again now until early August. It's so popular!

Daisy Garden stamp for easy cards!

July 14, 2021

I had time to play with this pretty Daisy Garden background stamp and created this summery card:

I stamped the image in Polished Pink ink onto a panel of 3 3/4" X 5 1/4" White card stock. I colored it in with blends markers in Polished Pink and Granny Apple Green. I did add a bit of yellow to the daisy centers with a sponge dauber. I colored the White ribbon with the light Polished Pink Blends marker before tying a bow.

Next I cut the White CS into three panels measuring 1 1/4" wide before I adhered them to the main card.

The 'thanks' greeting is from the Artistically Inked stamp set. It's stamped onto one of the die-cuts in the Picture This die set seen here. I love that you get multiple quick 'stitched' die-cuts from just one cut. They're great for windows or greeting dies and with just one cut and you can use the window of the die-cuts!
