Peaceful Garden book-binding & gatefold card with free project sheet

October 20, 2025

I love this fun fold layout! I cased it from my friend & team member Tina.

My colors include Cloud Cover with Night of Navy & White. The designer paper is the Peaceful Garden seen here. The greeting is from the Sentimental Framing set seen here. I textured the Navy side layer with the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder. That beautiful die-cut is from the Traditional Labels dies seen here; my very favorite set of label dies right now!

I stamped the inside with Cloud Cover ink (available in an ink spot) and the Textured Notes stamp set. The leaves match this DSP perfectly!

I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements & directions. Click here to download or print it.

I’ll share the other two cards I created on last week’s Live in the next few days.

Below is the video where I made this card and two more featuring the Peaceful Garden suite.

September Specials and New Catalog Party this week!

September 1, 2026

It all begins today for Stampin’ Up! September specials! But before I get into those I have to remind my local gals to stop in for my New Catalog party on Thursday.

Save

It’s the last event I’ll be holding at my home studio in Minot. We love our new home in Bismarck though but it is hard to say goodbye to our Minot friends. I sincerely hope I see most of you again since I hope to return occasionally for a class or Bunco event.

There’s a new Product of the Month for September and it’s a winner!

Save

It’s called Luxe Foliage Specialty Designer paper and can be seen here. It’s yours for just $5 once your order reaches the $75 point. I love that they offer a new item each and every month. There’s a nice variety to choose from. I cannot believe there is still some of the Glow of Harvest DSP left. And the Begonia Belle stamp set is still available as well.

There is also a few new kits in our Kit Collection too. You can see it all here!

There are new Online Exclusives that start today! Click here to see them.

Delicate Botanical Expressions card with video & free project sheet

August 31, 2026

Before I share today’s card I want to remind you that today is the last day to take advantage of the Designer Paper and Card stock sale. Go here to shop and grab the deals on paper.

Here’s the pretty card I shared last week on video. We made them at my August Card Clubs. Sadly it was the last Club I’ll hold in Minot. Our house has an offer in pending and I’ll have just one last event this Thursday there. My home studio has so many wonderful memories from my friends/customers. It’s hard to say goodbye!

I’m holding my Holiday Catalog open house September 3rd from 3:30-6 pm. If you’re local please come to see me (and the displays, food and deals!)

It features the new Botanical Expressions die (the white leaves die-cut) seen here. It’s a single die that can be used in multiple ways. I especially love the cut lines in the dies.
*Tip: rub waxed paper over the cutting side of your dies every few cuts; it releases the card stock easily then.

Save

Here I adhered it over dark green DSP and added Barely Blush DSP above and below it. There are so many pretty details here!

The floral DSP is called Bloom Boutique Specialty paper and can be seen here. It’s filled with gold foil highlights.

This card is a landscape gatefold card. The Peaceful Pine layer is adhered to only the left side of the card base.
My greetings are from the Scalloped Blooms and Framed Violets sets. The inside flowers are from the Flowering Meadow stamp set.

Save

That pretty scalloped greeting die is also from the Scalloped Blooms bundle seen here.

I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it. It has measurements, supplies, photos and directions.

I also shared the ‘how to’ video below. I hope you watch!

Reserve your Holiday designer paper share now!

August 27, 2026

The designer papers in the upcoming 2016 Holiday catalog & newest Online Exclusives are amazing! I had a few requests to offer a share of them. If you like getting a sample of all of the new papers a share is a great option. Then you can decide if you want to order a full pack.

The photo below shows all but one set of papers included. It’s a big bunch!

Save

I’m including specialty papers, new Online Exclusive papers and of course every new DSP in the catalog! There will be 82 sheets of 6 X 6″ paper in this share.

Reserve yours here; it will be open for a few weeks into September. It’s $39 plus approximately $10 shipping in the US. *I am not offering a ribbon or embellishment share this time.

Once the catalog goes live in early September I will order the shares. It can take up to a few weeks for it to arrive, prepped and mailed.
