If you’re like me, you love Stampin’ Up!’s coordination. Not only the color coordination, but also how the stamp sets and dies and stamp sets and punches work so well together.
That’s why the Layering Leaves stamp set and Bough Punch appeal to me. They complement each other, and make crafting not only easy, but successful.
Layering Leaves Card Samples
In today’s post, I share handmade greeting card samples using the Layering Leaves stamp set and Bough Punch. The card featured at the top of the post uses the coordinating colors of Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, and Night of Navy with Crumb Cake. I pulled the colors used in the Masterfully Made 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. I love taking color inspiration from Stampin’ Up!’s gorgeous patterned papers.
Here are a few measurements to help you get started. Be sure to watch the video below to view step-by-step directions for putting this card together.
Crumb Cake layer measuring 5″ x 3 3/4″ partially embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder
Melon Mambo card stock measuring 5 1/4″ x 4″
Night of Navy base measuring 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
Masterfully Made DSP measuring 3/4″ x 3 3/4″
Vellum cut with Stylish Shapes Dies
Linen Thread
Glossy Dots Assortment
The above card uses the same elements, but in a different format.
And, here’s another one using heat embossing for the sentiment and the Nested Labels Dies.

Do you look for different folds to add some spice and variety to your card making? A search of Pinterest yields so many options. When I spotted the Barn Door Fun Fold, I knew it would pair perfectly with Stampin’ Up!’s Circle Sayings Bundle. Find this bundle on page 19 on Stampin’ Up!’s brand-new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. I’ve created many cards using this bundle which includes a versatile stamp set and a 2 3/8-inch circle punch. See more samples (another fun fold) by clicking here.
Circle Sayings Barn Door Fold
This fold is super easy. Be sure to watch the video included below to see step-by-step instructions for creating this card.
Card stock (Berry Burst) measuring 11 x 4 1/4, scored at 5 1/2
Trim a 1 1/2-inch x 5 1/2-inch pieces from the top front with your Stampin’ Trimmer
Adhere a piece of coordinating Designer Series Paper (Bright & Beautiful 6 x 6 DSP) 5 1/4 x 2 1/2 inches to the front panel that’s left.
Use the circle punch to cut a half circle from the “barn door” panel
Stamp your image on Basic White Card Stock measuring 5 1/4 x 4 inches. Be sure to align your image in the half circle so it shows through to the front of the card. Glue to the inside of the card. See the examples above and below.
Add embellishments as you wish.
Here’s the inside of the card:
In addition, I created a thank you card using the same fold and stamp set. The Designer Series Paper comes from the Countryside In 12 x 12 package.

Can you believe it’s time to think about creating your handmade cards for Valentine’s Day? It’s less than a month away! In today’s post, I share a sample of Valentine cards made with Stampin’ Up!’s Country Floral Lane Suite of products. Find this suite beginning on page 8 of Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2023 Mini Catalog.
The suite includes:
Country Bouquet Stamp Set
The Country Bouquet Punch (purchase these first two as a bundle and save 10 percent)
Country Gingham 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper
Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins
Country Floral Lane 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper
Real Red & Burlap Ribbon
Country Floral Lane Samples
In the handmade greeting card at the top, I also use the heart frame from the Framed Florets Dies. It works perfectly here for Valentine cards. I also love that the Country Bouquet Punch coordinates with the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper. You can punch the images directly from the paper in addition to punching the stamped images.
The next card uses the two-step feature of the Country Bouquet Stamp Set. I stamped with both Sweet Sorbet and Mint Macaron (using the Stamparatus) and then punched the image with the Heart Punch Pack. Look at those Heart Pearls! I colored them with the Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends and added them to the card. Be sure to watch the video at the end of this post to see how these cards are made.
This final card uses strips of Designer Series Paper (each measuring 1 x 3) from both the Country Gingham 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and the Country Floral Lane 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.
