Gatefold Velvet Meadow arches card


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.

    I shared a walk through video of our new 2024-25 Annual Catalog on last week's Live video. If you missed it here's the link to watch it.  

    This new catalog is quite different than we're used to.  I cover the reason's why they changed it and share lots of tips on how to navigate it.  You'll also learn ways to find the items you're looking for.  

    I've had requests to share how I added tabs to my catalog.  I prefer to use the removable tabs you can get in an office or big box store. 

    Here's a peek at mine: 

    I added my tabs on the following pages. It might be odd but I add them to the page before so when I grab the tab it reveals that category page. 

    • Page 17 – Mix & Match
    • Page 21 – Sketches
    • Page 33 – Suites
    • Page 57 – Bundles
    • Page 73 – Encore
    • Page 111 – Ribbon
    • Page 113 – Ribbon
    • Page 115 – Adhesive
    • Page 127 – Emboss Folders
    • Page 113 – Colors
    • Page 139 – Index  

    Below is the video of the walk through of the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  If you do not have one nor your own Stampin' Up! Demonstrator let me know.  They are free to my customers or $5 for me to mail you one.

  • Thoughtful Wishes bundle with a neat masking effect


    What do you think of this monochromatic card?  

    The colors include Very Vanilla with Pecan Pie & Early Espresso. I used quite a few new Annual Catalog products here. 

    Products used:

    • Thoughtful Wishes bundle seen here
    • Country Woods designer paper
    • So Swirly embossing folder seen here
    • Countryside corner dies for my mask (now seen online)
    • Unbounded Love stamp set

    I added ink inside a die-cut mask with a Blending Brush & Pecan Pie ink before I textured it with the So Swirly embossing folder.  I love the effect!

    My colors include Petunia Pop, Basic White and a bit of Summer Splash with the In Color glimmer paper.  The pretty designer paper is called Unbounded Beauty and can be seen here. 

    The greeting stamp & die-cut are both from the same suite – the Unbounded Love bundle seen here.  

    Measurements: 

    • card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
    • Designer paper – start with a piece measuring 3 1/2" square. Cut from the left at 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4"
    • White is 4 1/4" X 3" plus a scrap for greeting die-cut

    If you're loving this pretty designer paper you might consider opting in for my Unbounded Beauty card kit to go.  It includes 10 pre-cut cards, approximately $20 in product and the free tutorial – all for $29 plus shipping.  See it here.
