Peaceful Garden – Independent Stampin Up!® Demonstrator, Victoria, Australia

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 32 – Misty Moonlight

This handmade card features the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) and some soon to be released in January, Beautifully Celebrated dies.

This card is cased from Kathy Ellerbusch Alt, who showed how to create one in a recent ‘live’ on Facebook using the newly released Product of the Month (POM) True Blue Florals DSP. More details below.

Measurements

Misty Moonlight card base: 21cm x 14.8cm, scored @ 10.5cm
Cloud Cover: 14.3cm x 10cm
Designer Series Paper: 14cm x 6cm (centre), 14cm x 4.5cm (2, one each side), 14cm x 2cm (inside)
Basic White: 14.3cm x 10cm (inside)

How you can re-create this card

Score and fold the card base.
Adhere the insert inside with the strip of DSP on the right hand side.
Adhere the Cloud Cover layer to the card base.
Adhere the 14cm x 6cm DSP to the centre of the card.
Take the 14cm x 4.5cm DSP and add adhesive to one side only. The left piece has adhesive only on the left and the opposite on the other side.
Fold back the inside corners of the DSP. Starting with the top left, start the crease from the edge of the DSP underneath (centre piece). Once you have this one done, you can repeat on the others to mimic the first one.
Die cut the two labels and the glitter leaves. The centre label I added the smaller label on top and ran through my embossing machine with the Silicone Craft Sheet to get the embossing.
Stamp the sentiment.
Using a blending brush, add ink to the edges of each label.
Adhere the labels together then add Dimensionals on the back and adhere it the centre of the card. I also placed a mini dimensional under each of the DSP corner folds to hold them in place.
Add the embellishments.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for Mossy Meadow inspiration.

Peaceful Garden Accordian Fold card

6 December, 20256 December, 2025 craftwithkate

This handmade card features the Peace on Earth bundle and Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper.

Start with a Cloud Cover card base, 29.7cm x 10.5cm, scored @ 14.8cm. Dry emboss the card front with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder. Die cut a Basic White label, stamp the sentiment [Traditional Labels stamp set] in Misty Moonlight ink and again in Cloud Cover ink but slighty offset to create a shadow effect. Adhere it to the card. Die cut the doves and envelopes in Basic White and the branch is cut from some Peaceful Garden Glimmer.

As you open the card you see this amazing accordian patterned paper unfold.

To create this, start with a piece of DSP 25.5cm x 10cm and score at 8cm, 10.5cm, 13cm, 15.5cm, 18cm, 20.5cm & 23cm.

Glue the left panel in place, fold up the accordian section, holding it tight, add glue to the final panel, and fold the back of the card closed onto the front. Hold it for a few seconds to dry then you can add the Basic White panel [10cm x 5.7cm] to the inside.

Add a sentiment to one of the folds; I’ve added one from the Greetings For You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.

I was inspired by Laura of Southridge Studios and I wanted to create my own with metric measurements.

Many of the Art with Heart Team participate in the Colour Creations Instagram hop that goes live every Wednesday night. We showcase one SU colour each week. We would love you to follow us!

Week 10

These handmade cards are very easy to replicate and the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) is so beautiful, we want them to be the focus!

Card 1 – is a top folding card that measures 21cm x 11cm, scored at 10.5cm. Add the card & Designer Paper layers and the circle feature attaches at the top. This is a Cloud Cover Spotlight on Nature die with a Stylish Shapes die circle of the Designer Paper inside. The Traditional Labels die banner is stamped and added on Dimensionals with a Glimmer leaf diecut behind on the right. Some Hues of Blue Flowers are added to finish.

Card 2 – is a side folding card that measures 21cm x 14.8cm, scored at 10.5cm. Add the Secret sea layer [14.6cm x 9cm], the Designer Paper [14.4cm x 5.8cm] and a strip of Glimmer [14.4cm x 2.5cm]. Stamp the sentiment onto Mistry Moonlight card in Versamark ink, add White Emboss Powder and melt with a Heat Tool. Add some White Craft ink refill to an Acrylic Block and add some drops of water using a Water Painter. Make sure the tip isn’t too wet, and gently tap it against a Bone Folder to gently add the splatters. Once dry, diecut the two circles and adhere them together then onto the card. Add a white dove to one side and some embellishments to the other.

Heart of Christmas 5: Peaceful Garden Craft♦A♦Long

29 September, 202529 September, 2025 craftwithkate

Welcome to the Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2025!
I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Craft♦A♦Long with Peaceful Garden DSP extra 3 cards

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THESE CARDS
I recently took part in an online Craft♦A♦Long run by Stampin’ Up! They showed how to create 6 cards using 1 sheet of Designer Series Paper and the card templates on page 42 of the Sept-Dec Mini catalogue. Today I am showing you cards 4-6! You can see cards 1-3 in a previous post here.

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – Crumb Cake card bases, 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Stamp and colour – The sentiments on cards 1 & 2 are stamped in Misty Moonlight ink. Inking tone on tone with Sponge Daubers on the DSP pieces and the card base of card 3.

3. Layering & Texture – Card 1 has the patterned paper and two strips of the reverse pattern. The circle and banner are added on Dimensionals.

Card 2 has two pieces of patterned paper and two strips of Secret Sea Glimmer and a circle of Two-Tone cardstock dry embossed with the Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder. I then used a sanding block to reveal the white inner core for texture.

Card 3 I cut the front so that only a 1″ panel is left. After embossing it with the Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder, I adhered the patterned paper to the panl. A layer of Misty Moonlight is adhered behind the patterned paper and to the back if the panel. When you open the card a piece of Basic White the same size as the patterned paper, is adhered to the centre of the card.

4. Finishing touches – some doves on the first 2 cards are added and card 3 has the Metallic Rub-Ons and the sentiment from the Greetings For You Ephemera Pack. All three cards have some Hues of Blue Flowers.

Many of us also participate in the Colour Creations Instagram hop that goes live every Wednesday night. We showcase one SU colour each week. We would love you to follow us!

Heart of Christmas 3: Peaceful Garden

15 September, 202515 September, 2025 craftwithkate

Welcome to the Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2025!
I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 3: Craft♦A♦Long with Peaceful Garden DSP

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THESE CARDS
I recently took part in an online Craft♦A♦Long run by Stampin’ Up! They showed how to create 6 cards using 1 sheet of Designer Series Paper and the card templates on page 42 of the Sept-Dec Mini catalogue. Today I am showing you 3 cards and I’ll share the other 3 in a later post.

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – Cloud Cover and Misty Moonlight card bases, 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Stamp – the sentiments are stamped onto die cut pieces in Misty Moonlight ink. Card 2 is an extra label piece leftover from the Birthday Fancy Card Kit.

3. Layering – Card 1 has patterned paper, a Misty Moonlight circle [Stylish Shapes dies] and the Cloud Cover die [Peace on Earth dies]. Once I die cut it, I left it in the die, turned it over onto my Silicone Sheet and used the Stylus tip [Take Your Pick Tool] to trace around the inside of the die to create that extra detail. Card 2 has patterned paper with 2 Arches [Everyday Arches dies], Cloud Cover Glimmer circle [Stylish Shapes dies]. Card 3 has the patterned paper and a Cloud Cover circle [Stylish Shapes dies].

4. Finishing touches – Card 1 has some Hues of Blue Flowers, and die cut foliage. Card 2 has a white dove with some Irridescent Pearls and Card 3 has some Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon behind the sentiment, a white dove and Irridescent Pearls.
