by Tracy | Jun 11, 2020 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Fun Fold Card
I used the Tasteful Touches stamp set and Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper to create today’s Gate Fold card.
I began with a piece of Old Olive cardstock and scored it on both ends (I scored it on end, flipped it over to the other side and scored again) which created the gatefold (you can find all the measurements below the Supply List).
I added panels of Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series paper to both sides of the card base and added a panel of Whisper White cardstock to the inside.
It isn’t necessary to add a belly band (mine was made with one of our New In Colors – Bumblebee) but it does help to keep the card closed. The width of the belly band can be any size and mine is 3/4″. I tried a 1″ width but preferred the smaller size for this card. I scored it in two places and wrapped it around the card, securing the two ends with a small amount of Multipurpose Glue. I added two Stampin’ Dimensionals to the the belly band and then placed the sentiment piece on top of it.
The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock with Old Olive ink using the stamp set Tasteful Touches. It was cut out using Stitched Shapes Dies and a die-cutting machine. The Bumblebee and Old Olive scalloped ovals were cut out using the Layering Ovals dies which coordinate beautifully with the Stitched Shapes Dies.

Today’s card is another version of the card I shared on Tuesday using the beautiful Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper. You can see Tuesday’s card here and be sure to download the free tutorial too!
Whenever my card base is Whisper White, as today’s is, I always use our Thick Whisper White cardstock as it gives the card some extra stability.
Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper coordinates with so many pretty shades of green and I chose Shaded Spruce for today’s card. Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy to know which colors coordinate with their papers. You can find the coordinating colors in the catalog and on the back of the package. I have a difficult time knowing which colors to use and I love that Stampin’ Up! provides this information.
I also used Shaded Spruce ink for the sentiment from Lovely You and cut it out with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. To add some bling to my card, I used three Shaded Spruce rhinestones from our Holiday Rhinestones.
You can find all the measurements I used in my free tutorial from Tuesday. I hope you’ll give this layout a try!

I used products from the upcoming 2020-2021 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog to create today’s card: Forever Fern stamp set, Flowers for Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Tasteful Labels Dies and Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.
I began by embossing a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered it to my card base of Thick Whisper White cardstock. I used a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock (one of the new In Colors this year) and layered it with one of the designs in Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper. The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy ink onto Whisper White cardstock and cut out with a die from Tasteful Labels. I love the details of this die! It was layered with a Misty Moonlight circle cut out with the Layering Circles Dies.
Both the Misty Moonlight/Flowers For Every Season piece and the sentiment have Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back to pop them up. To complete the card, I added three rhinestones from our Holiday Rhinestones (they aren’t just for the holidays)!
The new products used on my card will be available on Wednesday, June 3rd at noon, Mountain Time.

Five new Stampin’ Up! colors are debuting in the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog on June 3, 2020 and here they are!
I created a set of cards using these new In Colors. The cards have some brand new product, current product and one retiring product. The 1/2″ Circle Punch was used for the center of each daisy and it’s retiring! It’s a great punch to have and I was really sad to see it show up on the retiring list. It is still available and can be purchased here.
I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut out the Whisper White scalloped rectangle and stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink with a brand new stamp set, Lovely You (all the products I used can be found in the supply list). Demonstrators were not able to preorder the new In Color stamp pads otherwise I would have used the new colors for the sentiment. I also used 2020-2022 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper which comes in four different designs and my cards show two of them. To complete the cards I added our 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots.
Are you excited to get your hands on these new In Colors? You can purchase them next week on June 3rd beginning at noon, Mountain Time!

On my card today I have a sneak peek of two new products that will be available on June 3rd when the new Annual Catalog goes live!
The two new products are:
- Lovely You stamp set
- Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder
The flowers and sentiment were both stamped with the Lovely You stamp set. To create the flowers, I used my Stampin’ Write markers and colored directly onto the stamp. First, I added color to the petals using a Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write marker and then to the stem using a Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker. Before stamping onto Whisper White paper, I huffed all over the stamp to reactivate the ink. The other flower was colored with a Daffodil Delight marker. Stampin’ Write Markers can only be purchased in a set by Color Collections. Melon Mambo & Daffodil Delight are in the Brights Stampin’ Write Markers collection and Garden Green can be found in the Regals Stampin’ Write Markers collection.
The sentiment was stamped in Melon Mambo ink (a stamp pad) and it’s also from the Lovely You stamp set. Each flower was cut out using the Layering Squares Dies and the Melon Mambo piece underneath was also cut out with these dies. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back of each one and added to a piece of Whisper White cardstock that was embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Both the stamp set and embossing folder will be available next Wednesday, June 3rd!
