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.

Beautiful Peaceful View card the easy way with video & free project sheet

July 7, 2025

For my June card clubs I knew I wanted to feature the Peaceful View stamp set. This gorgeous stamp makes it easy to create a stunning card with. I've asked for this type of stamp for years and finally got one!

Could you ask for a more perfect background for this image? Where did it come from? It's a piece of designer series paper – from the Thoughtful Journey 6" X 6" DSP seen here. It's absolutely the perfect choice and much easier than creating a coloreful background with ink.

The majority of the papers work well for this stamp so my club members could pick their favorite.

We inked the tree scene with Secret Sea ink and stamped on the designer paper. It's then adhered to a full 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" piece of Balmy Blue CS before it's added to the front flap of the card base (front is folded back once).

For the greetings I stamped the More Messages stamp a few times and used the coordinating die to cut them all out. I had tons of greetings for them to choose from. They then layered them onto another Balmy Blue strip or die-cut.

What I love about this latest messages bundle is that the greetings and die-cuts are larger than ever before. See the bundle here.

Here's the free project sheet with measurements and supplies for you: Download Peaceful View June Club

Below is the video for this card and another where I show you how to add color to the stamp. I'll share details on that project tomorrow.

A gorgeous scene made with Wooded Acres; on the Last Chance List

July 3, 2025
I was playing around with the Wooded Acres stamp set and made a pretty scene by adding a blended background.

You may know I love creating pretty scenes with my stamps, ink and blending brushes.

Here are the steps:
1. I stamped this image on a long post-it note and fussy cut the area above the ground off. I stamped it on my White CS and then added the post-it note to mask the sky.
2. Now I added Garden Green ink with a Blending Brush for grass.
3. I removed the post it and replaced it with the other half to sponge the sky. I used Timid Tiger, Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue.
4. I layered it with Black and White card stock.
5. I then stamped the same image on the Balmy Blue card base to extend the trees.
What do you think?

This stamp set is now on sale on the Last Chance List. You can see the stamp set here.

If you'd like to get tips on blending a smooth sky please watch this video.

Double Flap fun fold with free project sheet & video tutorial

July 2, 2025

Today I'm sharing the second card I made on last week's video. It's a double flap fold card featuring the Sunrise Sailing bundle.

The colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight.

I created a mask for the sun with a 1 7/8" circle punched from a post-it note. I used blending brushes & Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight inks. I also added just a hint of Strawberry Slush ink on the bottom of the cloud die-cuts.

The Designer Paper is our new 6 X 6" In Color designer paper seen here.

I showcased the Sunrise Sailing bundle seen here. I love the stamp images AND the dies in this bundle. They're wonderful and really spark creativity. There are THREE different size sailboats in the dies!

As you can see in the sample in the photo below you can make a card with just the embossing folder!

You can see in the photo below how the front square flap lifts to the right to reveal a peek at the inside. I added the cloud to the back of this square and placed it so it could 'latch' on the larger cloud to hold the card closed.

I create a free project sheet for this card. I also share it on the same day as my video on my Flowerbug's Stamp & Share FB group here . Download Sunrise Sailing Latch card

You can see the card fully opened below. I love this easy but fun card fold.

You'll find the video tutorial for this card and another Sailing card below. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel while you're watching!

I'll share another card with this bundle on Wednesday.
