Gatefold Velvet Meadow arches card

July 9, 2026

Here’s another neat card sample featuring the Velvet Meadow suite:

Gatefold cards are a great way to use your pretty designer series paper. Each side measures 1 7/8″ X 5 1/4″. I stamped the pretty flowers from the Flowering Meadow bundle seen here on the White arch die-cut; then layered it on the next size larger Peaceful Pine arch die-cut.

The Arches dies are out of stock currently but will be back.

I stamped the flowers in Bubble Bath, Berry Burst and Peaceful Pine ink. The greeting is stamped on a strip of White that is layered on the Velvet specialty paper in Bubble Bath color. A pretty but easy card.

Here’s what the open view looks like:

The color combinations Stampin’ Up! comes up with in their designer paper continues to amaze me. They make it so easy to make beautiful, coordinating projects. Our color families and the matching products is what drew me to Stampin’ Up! over 21 years ago and is still one of my favorite things about them.

Jar of Flowers Double Flap Fun-fold card with video!

June 26, 2020
The Jar of Flowers bundle is pretty neat and easy to create wonderful cards with. We made these cards at my June card clubs. It was sooo great getting together with my gals again. North Dakota is open to events again but we are still being cautious too.

You can really see the details on the card in this close up view. That neat texture is the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. The colors are Misty Moonlight with Bumblebee and the In Good Taste designer paper.

There are sooo many wood, texture and patterns in this big pack of In Good Taste paper. It is amazing! Here's a good view of this paper.

Here's another version of the card using the jar and water image but the flowers are from the Tasteful Touches stamp set. This card was for those who didn't want to color. We added punched flowers using the Confetti Flowers Border punch seen here. After punching we added a dot of Navy ink for the centers.

For this fold all I did was trim off an inch from the card front and add a flap that is hidden by the strip of In Good Taste DSP. This flap is what the front panel is adhered to. Watch the video below!

The cards are finished off with a greeting from the Lovely You bundle – this is one of my favorite bundles! I love the Pick a Punch and the Lovely You stamp set is full of wonderful greetings.

Measurements:
- Bumblebee card 5 1/2" X 7 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  In Good Taste DSP 1" X 5 1/2"
  White – front and inside 4 1/8" X 3", scrap for greeting is 1/2" wide
  Misty Moonlight 3 1/4" X 4 3/8", flap is 1 3/4" X 3 1/2" scored at 1/2"

Blossoms in Bloom; puzzling it together?

June 25, 2020

Here's an incredible card featuring the Blossoms in Bloom bundle made by my Flowerbug's team member Jacki for a new catalog card swap.

I just love these colors together; Just Jade and Misty Moonlight.

Can you tell that she stamped the large floral image on her White CS using Misty Moonlight? Then she added die-cut layers in White, Misty Moonlight and Just Jade. Yes; she cut out three dies for each card and puzzle fit them over the stamped image!!! Amazing, but stunning!

If you want to see this bundle online, click here.

I believe she cased this card from Pinterest; made by Mary Detherage.
