A Beautiful Fun Fold with the Peaceful Garden Suite & Ordering Special!
Today, I’m sharing a free tutorial for a soft and elegant fun fold card I created using the Peaceful Garden Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up!
This card features one of my favorite color combinations—Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake, and Basic White—a timeless palette that feels both peaceful and classic. The embossed textures, layered panels, and the delicate white dove come together to create a heartfelt card that’s perfect for the holiday season or any time you want to send a message of peace. 🕊️
The fun fold design opens to reveal extra space inside—perfect for writing a personal note!

Peaceful Garden Suite Collection – Facebook Live Projects & Ordering Special!
During my most recent Facebook Live on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page, I shared four soft and soothing cards created with the Peaceful Garden Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up! This suite is filled with gentle patterns, beautiful botanical designs, and heartfelt sentiments—perfect for sending encouragement, sympathy, or simply reminding someone you care. The colors and textures work together so beautifully to create peaceful, comforting projects. 💙
Each of these cards features layered Designer Series Paper, subtle embossed details, and lovely sentiments such as “Big Hugs for a Good Friend” and “Heartfelt Prayers.” They are simple yet elegant—just what you need when words aren’t quite enough.

This first card is a fun fold that is one I go back to time and time again – start with a 4 1/4″ x 11″ card base – score at 5 1/2″ and then cut the front at 1″ all the way to the score line – your Stampin’ Paper Trimmer makes this really easy to do. I glue this panel down and then add DSP, and complete the card.
Next, a very soothing and beautiful card with soft colors – I love the embossing folder that is a part of this suite, and how the two label dies fit perfectly inside the center of the embossed panel. And the dove – so very beautiful!
Next – this card showcases both a piece of beautiful Designer Series Paper, but also a smaller panel that features the Embossing folder. One of the label dies is cut with the Secret Sea Glimmer Paper that is also a part of this suite – it’s gorgeous! The sprig is cut from Secret Sea cardstock. I love scattering the Hues of Blues embellishments along the sprig, for added interest.
The last card was inspired by the Creativity Now event that Stampin’ Up! did recently. I loved the layout of this with the small label used as a pull out on the card front. For my card, I used a 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ panel of Cloud Cover for my card base. I added a panel of Basic White on the back of this panel for a hand written message.
