Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Simple Gatefold Card using elements from the beautiful Peaceful Garden Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I was asked by my team leaders to present two cards at a virtual play date. One was a simple card and then a stepped-up version. So, today, I am sharing my simplified card, and I will share my stepped-up version next week.
The Details of My Simple Gatefold Card
We were asked to Connect Four items in a chart for our stepped-up card, but the simple card did not have to include all items. So, I went with Up & Down which included Holiday Card, Blues, Gatefold Card for my simple version. I decided to save the window sheet for my stepped-up version.
Since I decided on Holiday Card and Blues as two of my choices, The Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper was perfect for my card! I have been wanting to play with this Suite again with its beautiful dove dies!
For the front of my card, I stamped the Peace on Earth sentiment in Secret Sea and then brushed along the edges some Balmy Blue Ink with my Blending Brushes. By adding the Balmy Blue, it made the die cut dove stand out from the sentiment.
Since this was a Christmas card, I just had to add some sparkle with the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper as a mat to my sentiment.
Once my sentiment cluster was done, I folded my card according to the directions listed below. Then, I added the leafy DSP to each of the front pieces. The sentiment cluster was adhered to the left panel on the front of the card.
For the inside, I stamped a sentiment and then brushed more Balmy Blue Ink to the edges.
As a finishing touch to my card, I added a scattering of The Hues of Blue Flowers to the sentiment and front of my card.
