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.

Merriest Moments ‘5 at a time’ cards with free templates

December 3, 2021

Here's another set of my '5 at a time' cards I shared yesterday here. I used the Merriest Moments stamp set. This stamp set is carrying over to next year's Holiday catalog along with the dies & Hybrid embossing folder but they will not longer be in a bundle at 10% off.

See the carry over list here. And the retiring or Last Chance list here

Save

My colors include Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, Sahara Sand & White. I love the unusual addition of the Sahara Sand. I chose it to blend in softly instead of another attention grabber.

Save

See the texture? After I stamped I used the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder before layering the pieces and finishing the cards. I used the Double Oval punch here.

If you missed yesterday's post I shared these '5 at a time' cards on a recent FB Live video seen here. I created two templates that layer each other for quick set of 5 A2 sized finished cards. And they sized perfectly for very little waste.

Below is how the White card stock is stamped. Can you see that the images concentrate on two sides of each piece leaving one corner free & clear? This keeps the cards from being too busy.

Save

Before I stamped I scored on the 4 3/4" and 3 1/2" lines (using the measurements on the template) leaving the piece intact. You could also draw a light pencil mark so you know where to stamp. Then after stamping I can cut on the scored lines.

Save

Below are the templates. Remember these are 8 1/2" X 11" to start with.

Save

Save

As you can see these templates have very little waste.

I hope you watch the video below to see the tips & tricks on using these templates.
