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.

Paper Tags Joseph’s Coat technique with video tutorial

June 23, 2025
I played with the Paper Tags stamp set and the Irresistible Designs Specialty Paper for last week's video. Here's my favorite project:

Save

The colors include Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Gorgeous Grape in inks. The card stock is Black, White, Daffodil and Highland Heather.

For the colored designer paper panel I started with a piece at 4" X 5" and blended the three inks on it diagonally. This Irresistible specialty paper seen here resists the ink where they printed the resist designs. Once you add ink, it reveals their pattern. So cool!

After I blended the colors on I randomly cut the single panel into 5 pieces on the diagonal. I share how I did this in the video here. I adhered each panel one at a time starting in the corner. You may need to trim one of the pieces slightly to fit the card base.

Save

For the inside of the card I stamped the greeting and added color to it with coordinating Blends markers.

Here's how you do the Joseph's Coat technique:
1. Sponge or blend multiple colors onto your neutral cardstock.
2. Swipe the embossing buddy over this layer; tap off excess powder.
3. Ink the stamp image in Versamark ink; stamp onto the layer.
4. Immediately heat emboss with Black embossing powder.
Once I had my tag, I trimmed it by hand (there are coordinating dies) and added a few extra pieces to lengthen the tag and add more layers. I finished it off with a bow.

Awesome fun fold swaps by the Flowerbug’s

June 21, 2025
Today I'm sharing two neat fun fold cards made by a few of my Flowerbug's for a recent card swap. Our them was to use a new 2025-27 In Color and make it a fun fold.

First is a card made by Joan who used the new Online Exclusive set 'It's Okay' seen here.

Her In Color is Strawberry Slush and she loves to color; as you can see! It's a triple fold card; here's how the first panel opens:

Here are her measurements:
