A Pleated Holiday Card Idea from Today’s Facebook Live!
Today’s Facebook Live was such a fun one! I shared a simple-but-stunning pleated card idea featuring the Stampin’ Up!® Elegant Pine Snowflakes Suite — and it’s the perfect little twist when you want your holiday cards to feel extra special without a lot of fuss.
The star of the show is that gorgeous patterned paper. The soft folds create beautiful dimension, and the pine-filled background gives this card such a warm, woodland feel. A layered snowflake, a bit of ribbon, and a clean sentiment are all you need to pull the whole design together. If you missed the live, the replay is available — and you can craft right along with me!
This is one of those layouts you’ll want to try with all kinds of Designer Series Paper. The fold does the work for you, and the finished card feels like something straight out of a boutique.

A Thank You Card Idea with the Brushed with Beauty Suite
Some days you just need a card that says it all—and this “Just Because I Appreciate You” card does exactly that. I created it with the Brushed with Beauty Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up!, and I love how soft, layered, and heartfelt it feels.
The suite’s gorgeous florals and gentle textures do a lot of the heavy lifting here. I paired a striped panel with vellum for a bit of softness, then added leafy die-cuts for dimension. The large “because” sentiment is the real focal point—bold enough to stand out, yet still elegant thanks to the coordinating dies.
Little details bring everything together: pearls, linen thread, and that subtle floral background from the designer series paper. It’s one of those cards that’s simple in intention but looks beautifully finished.
The best part? I’ve put together a free tutorial so you can create this card right along with me! Whether you’re new to cardmaking or already love working with the Brushed with Beauty Suite, this project is a great one to try.
DIMENSIONS:
- Very Vanilla Cardstock: 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2, 4 x 4 (for all die-cuts)
- Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper: 4 x 5 1/4, 3 x 4
- Vellum Specialty Paper: 3 1/2 x 4 1/2, 4 x 2 (die-cut)
- Mossy Meadow Cardstock: 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 (for 2 die-cuts)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Burnish the folds of the card base with a Bone Folder.
- Adhere the Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
- Adhere the Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper to the Vellum with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp the two sentiments in Mossy Meadow Ink onto Very Vanilla. Crop each sentiment with the coordinating die-cuts, keeping the “Just” to the right side, then trimming to 2 inches wide.
- Use the “because” dies to crop the Vellum, Very Vanilla and Mossy Meadow. Adhere together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
- Crop the remaining Mossy Meadow with the greenery die and adhere as shown with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
- Adhere all remaining pieces to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This first card is all about the DSP! The three different snowflakes are cropped right from the Designer Series Paper! Push the easy button!! And I couldn’t resist adding a little – ok, a lot of sparkle with the beautiful gems!! To me, they are the star of the show!
This next card used a snowflake cropped directly from the DSP. I have added a splash of color with Cherry Cobbler cardstock – and used one of the patterened DSP as a panel for the card as well.
The third card uses a soft gray Designer Series Paper – don’t miss this one! This is an online exclusive and is sold in 12 X 12 inch packages – and features the gorgeous paper – already embossed with beautiful soft snowflakes! I have used this so much on many recent projects!
