I am so happy to tell you, dear readers, that I am on the new design team for Happy Little Stampers’ Dies Challenge. If you follow me, then you know how much I love using dies. Love? Maybe I should say addicted! LOL Today, I am showing you the brand new Art Gallery bundle in the January-June catalog that went live this week. I love everything about this suite of products and the designer paper is especially beautiful. To showcase this paper, I chose a great fun fold called the Triple Fold from Splitcoaststampers.
I’m a Grandmother!!
On a separate bit of news, I have to share that there’s a brand new future stamper in my family – born on Tuesday! My son and his wife had their beautiful baby boy Noah and I get to meet him this weekend. Soon enough, he will be stamping with me and I can’t wait to share this fun activity with him!
My secrets to making this Quiet Meadow project
- Although I followed the tutorial mostly, I did change up the dimensions of the card:
- Card base: 12″ x 6″ and scored at 4 1/4,” 7″ and 9 3/4″
- DSP Layers: 1/2″ x 5 7/8″ (2), 2 1/2″ x 5 7/8″ (2), 4 1/8″ x 5 7/8″
- I decided to give the top layer a decorative edge, so found one in Peony Dies.
- Afterwards, all of the layers were adhered to the card base.
Now, the FUN Part!
- After completing the base, it was time to do some stamping. To get started, I stamped the beautiful flowers, with 2 step stamping for the large flower and a rock and roll technique for a smaller one. Once I did that, they were all cut out with their coordinating dies.
- Secondly, I cut out the oval out of the Spellbinders Hemstitch Ovals, then stamped and cut out the sentiment. Once that was completed, they were adhered together and placed onto a belly band of Pretty Peacock cardstock, cut at 11″ x 1 1/2″ after it was wrapped around the card base.
- Then, working on the next panel, I cropped out the “just wanted to say” with Whisper White cardstock, then I adhered it to a small panel of Bumblebee cardstock, cut from a stitched rectangle die.
- Finally, the last panel has a sentiment from Best Year stamp set, stamped in Pretty Peacock ink, leaving the last panel to write a birthday message.

Gorgeous card! I do love fun folds, so thanks for the measurements! Congrats on joining the DT!
Congrats on the new arrival! Your card is really beautiful. Love the way you have combined pattern paper and stamping.
Firstly … congratulations on the new family member, how wonderful the news of new babies in the world is.
Secondly, wonderful fun fold cards. My plan is to try more fun folds this year (in fact I have a challenge from my upline to do so) and seeing this makes me want to do it too.

Ah Debbie. Beautiful news. Beautiful Grandson.
Congratulations to you and your Husband. You will take a photo or two when you visit!!!!
My Mother said, as she welcomed 5 Greatgrands, “I didn’t know I had so much love.” She didn’t see the 6th, but my daughter says Vaughn is exactly like Mum. The twinkle in his eyes, the mischievous grin and the weird sense of humour.
She spoiled my three.
Go ahead, do it…..
Congratulations, grandma! What exciting news! Love both of your cards! Thanks so much for joining us at The House That Stamps Built!
