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:

Gorgeous Abundant Beauty Kraft notecards with gift box

November 1, 2023

I was inspired by this set of cards & box by a project shared online. I changed up the colors to 'my' favorites and created this:

Save

I absolutely LOVE the Abundant Beauty Decorative masks seen here! The sunflowers are my favorite of course, but I also used the houndstooth mask here as well. Unfortunately these masks are out of stock right now. They'll be back around November 13th.

Save

You might think I made this box but I sure didn't! It's found on page 135 of our Annual Catalog. It includes 20 cards & 20 envelopes and one box for gifting cards in; all in Kraft paper. The cards are notecard side which is 5" X 3 1/2". See it here online.

Save

As you can see in the photo below I used the houndstooth mask to add a soft background to each notecard. I used a blending brush and Copper Clay ink.

Save

The sunflowers are made with Pretty Peacock ink and the leaves are Granny Apple Green on White cardstock. Yes; they are all fussy cut! I did some but my friend Pat did the rest for me; she loves to fussy cut things!

The greetings are from the So Sincere stamp set from the 2023 Holiday catalog. It's my favorite greeting set right now. See it here.

Save

You can see in the photo below that I added the houndstooth pattern to the entire box, inside & out. Because it comes flat it's easy to do.

I hope you're inspired by this project. I'm not sure who will receive it yet, but it will be someone special!
