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.

Frosted Forest silhouette card – so pretty! Free project sheet too

October 1, 2024

I'm sharing a gorgeous wintery card that I made on last week's video. I saw a few similar cards online and knew you'd like to see how to make them.

Save

It's in Navy & White with a clean, crisp feel to it. Perfect for wintertime or the holidays. I shared how to assemble this in the video here or scroll down to see it below. It's a little tricky to get the pieces in place before adhering to the card base.

The trees die is from the Frosted Forest dies seen here. It's part of a bundle with stamps, dies & stencils seen here.

Save

The greetings and greeting die-cut are from the Peaceful Season bundle seen here. I love this bundle!

Save

It's hard to see the texture on the White but I used the Snowflake Sky embossing folder on it. The ribbon is our sheer Navy & Gold glittered ribbon in the Annual catalog.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and three more! I share a weekly Live video each Tuesday morning on my Facebook page here. Be sure to follow me on YouTube here.

Unique Frosted Forest bundle shown multiple ways! Free project sheet & video too

September 30, 2024

On last week's Live video I shared multiple ways to use the Frosted Forest bundle. Here are two of the cards I made.

Save

I used Granny Apple Green & Shaded Spruce here. I stamped the outline of the trees in Shaded Spruce and then added color by using the coordinating stencils with ink and blending brushes. (Pecan Pie ink is used on the tree trunk).

Here is an example of the dies with a few coordinating stamps & stencils.

Save

See this special stamp, dies & stencil bundle here.

Save

I hope you watch the video here or below to see the many ways to create with it. I share a unique way to add extra detail to the large tree. It gives an easy 'leafy' texture.

Save

A layered banner greeting across the bottom finished it off nicely. The birds are also included in the bundle. I used Pecan Pie to stamp them and then a blender pen to spread the ink a bit.

Here's the free project sheet for these two cards; click on the following link to download or print it: Download Frosted Forest 2 trees cards

I think the combination of these two colors for these pine trees works wonderfully.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and two more! Be sure to follow me on YouTube here.
