Christmas Season Gatefold card with a Designer Paper twist; FB Live video!

October 25, 2021

We're making these pretty cards tonight on FB Live 'Stamp with Me'. It's at 7:30 pm CT here.

It's actually a gatefold card but the front panel is a piece of designer paper that leaves a reveal of the right edge of the card base which is textured.

For these two cards I chose to use the In Good Taste DSP (Annual Catalog on the left) and Cork paper on the left from the Holiday catalog.

Or see it on my YouTube channel here on Tuesday.

Festive Cheer Christmas card

September 21, 2026

I love this fun fold card! Two step stamping is one of my favorite types of stamps.

Save

I chose to use Cherry Cobbler, Peaceful Pine & Golden Glow as my color combination. The Designer Paper is the In Color gingham DSP seen here.

The Festive Cheer bundle is filled with two-step ornaments and great holiday greetings. And the dies coordinate wonderfully! See this bundle here.

Save

It’s a unique fun fold in that the greeting tab on the left holds it closed. There’s a third score line on the right side of the card that will bend as it opens.

Save

Here’s what it looks like fully opened. I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to download it or print it.

Poetic Petals in a soft color combination

September 18, 2026

If you like soft and subtle colors here’s a pretty color combination using two of our newest In Colors – Barely Blush with Crisp Cantaloupe.

Save

The color combination is inspired by the beautiful Bloom Boutique specialty designer series paper seen here. It has bit of gold foil and includes all of our newest In Colors.

The unique Poetic Petals bundle seen here is what I used for the dies and greetings. Note the textured background and ribbon knot!

Save

It’s the Softly Woven 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s temporarily out of stock but should be back in a week or so. To achieve this ribbon knot simply tie one color of ribbon around the other and trim the ends. Add with a mini glue dot.
The greeting tag is not current; it was among my stash of die-cuts and seemed to fit perfectly here.

Save

I shared the left card above yesterday. I used the basic layout but changed the cards for one landscape and one vertical. As you can see the Bloom Boutique specialty DSP includes pretty color combinations of our newest In Colors. Love it!

Thanks for stopping in today; I hope these pretty cards inspired you.

Pretty Poetic Petals cards

September 17, 2026

Today I’m sharing a few cards made with the unique Poetic Petals bundle. I was inspired by my friend and team member Karen. She paired it with the Bloom Boutique specialty DSP and I loved her idea. I’ll share her card next week.

Save

I used Hydrangea Hue with Peaceful Pine and White. Once I die-cut the flower frame I added it to a Peaceful Pine CS square; then add to the layered card front.

See the Poetic Petals bundle here. The dies are awesome and just look at the great greetings in the stamp set! It’s a must have for me.

Save

You likely notice the ribbon knot; it’s fun to tie one color of ribbon around the other to match the color combo! Try it yourself!

Save

And notice the background texture? That is the new Rustic Check 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s out of stock but should be back sometime this week.

Save

I’ll share the other card made with the Poetic Petals bundle tomorrow. Stay tuned!
