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.

Morning Star

May 26, 2020
Have you seen this pretty stamp set yet? It's called Morning Star (seen here) and is one of Stampin' Up!'s distinktive type of stamps. This means you can get multiple hues of color with just one inking. It's amazing!

It is retiring next week so if you'd like it, get it now! Here's a few cards I created when playing with it. I think this set has been a bit of a sleeper; lost among the many favorite in the 2020 January-June catalog.

Here I used Old Olive and Gorgeous Grape; one of my favorite green and purple combos. Because this stamp set is photopolymer you can easily stamp the images just where you want them, placing them perfectly.

Here are the measurements and supplies:
- Old Olive 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
- Regals designer paper 5 1/4" X 1 7/8"
- Gorgeous Grape 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"
- White 4 1/2" X 3 3/8"
- Label Me Fancy Punch, Grape striped ribbon, dimensionals, mini glue dots
Here's another simple card made with this pretty stamp set this time in green & blue:

I chose to use Pear Pizzazz with Night of Navy here. This is our Neutrals designer paper pack and it is already out of stock. It was on the Last Chance list seen here. I'll miss these pretty patterns although we are getting new packs of 6" designer paper in the upcoming catalog.

Measurements:
- Pear Pizzazz 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Navy designer paper 5 1/4" X 2"
- White – 5 1/4" strip for the Ornate Style die-cut
- White 3 1/4" X 2 1/2"
- Navy 3 1/2" X 3"
- Ornate Style dies, Olive/Terracotta Tile 1/4" ribbon, Noble Peacock rhinestones

Spring Punched Banner; cute home decor piece!

May 25, 2020

To all of our Veterans; thank you for your service! I wish you all a safe and happy Memorial Day!

~~~

I haven't shared this project yet; it was the bonus project many of my gals received in their Spring Retreat package. It's made with the Pleased as Punch designer paper; it was free during Sale-a-Bration earlier this year.

To create the banners I first cut a piece of card stock 4 1/4" long X 3 1/2" wide. Then I made a mark at the center of the short end and cut from that mark to the opposite corner. Then I had my template!

I added lots and lots of punched pieces! I used the Umbrella punch, the Tulips punch, Daisy, Leaf, Butterfly Duo, the Small Bloom punch and the Heart Punch pack. A few of the banners are textured too. It would be fun to hang this in your craft room or on a window .

She colored the birds with Blends markers; so soft and pretty!
