Heart Shaped Triple Panel Gate-Fold card with video tutorial & free project sheet

February 24, 2025

I enjoyed casing my friend Susie Wood when I made this pretty card:

It features two Sale-a-Bration products: The Bloom Impressions designer series paper and the Heart Shaped bundle. Both are free with purchase through February 28th.

The Heart Shaped bundle includes the stamp set and coordinating dies. I notice this bundle is in low inventory today! See it here.

My card bases are Petunia Pop and the card stock panels are Blackberry Bliss. I love how the stamp under the die adds the pretty detail to the image.

As you can see below it's a gatefold card with the three panels added to the left side. See the free project sheet with measurements below:

A fun way to add color to the Happy Place stamp with video tutorial

September 22, 2025

I shared how to add color to the large ‘Happy’ from the Happy Place stamp set on last week’s Live video. What do you think?

Save

We made this cute card at my September card clubs. The colors include Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral & White. You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned inking on the Happy image. I used inks – Lost Lagoon for the water and Calypso Coral for the sky. For this sample I used large ink pads. But for my Clubs we used smaller ink spots. It was a lot easier this way!

Save

You might also wonder where I got the rectangle Perennial Postage die shape. I had to die-cut a larger rectangle twice to get this size. It was pretty easy and I share how in the video below.

Save

We textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Wave 3D embossing folder and the curvy leaf dies are from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. I love them! The inside greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set.

Save

It’s an easy fold that shows off the inside of the card and the designer paper we added. This DSP is the Subtles 6″ designer paper which has some great patterns.

Save

I really enjoyed playing with this fun stamp set. I’ll share another project from the video tomorrow. See the Happy Place set here.

I created a free project sheet for you with measurements, photos, directions and a supply list with links. Click on this link to print or download it.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you’re there!

The leaves are from the Thankful Garden dies; the embossing folder is Exposed Brick. What a fabulous card!
