VIDEO: Stampin' Up! Painterly Pears Top Fold Double Gate Fold Card Tutorial

The Painterly Pears Suite was first released as part of the July 2025 Online Exclusives, but I think the colors and gorgeous imagery are perfect for fall! Check out this fun fold card that I designed for a recent episode of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie:

The card base is Old Olive and the center fold card is Darling Duckling -- one of the 2025-2027 In Colors. This color is really growing on me!  I love that the Painterly Pears Designer Paper also includes a lot of Basic Beige. It's a great neutral color that pairs nicely with the greens.

Inside: I used a sponge dauber to add a little green to the Darling Duckling inked stamp and then added the stamped dots. There is not a stamp to fill in the leaves, so I colored them with a blender pen and the ink pad.

Card Measurements:

• 4-3/16" x 11" Old Olive Cardstock, scored at 1", 2-3/4", 8-1/4", and 11"
• 3-1/4" x 8-1/2" Darling Duckling Cardstock, scored at 4-1/4"
• (2) 1-1/2" x 4" Painterly Pears Designer Paper (outside)
• 1" x 4" Painterly Pears Designer Paper (inside)
• 3" x 4" Painterly Pears Designer Paper
• 3" x 4" Basic White Cardstock
• 2-3/4" Basic Beige Die Cut Circle

4 Easy Card Layouts with Sweet Symmetry Designer Paper

Whenever I need to jumpstart my creativity, I turn to my favorite card layouts. That is just what I did last week when I cracked open my box of new catalog goodies before Thursday Night Stamp Therapy. I used some of the easy card layouts from the Double Wonder Template that Shannon West created last year. Even though I didn't do the full Double Wonder card set, I was still able to use the measurements on the handout to create this quick and easy cards.

The Sweet Symmetry Designer Paper has small patterns, making it ideal for the Double Wonder card templates! Click here to check out the post from last year with all the details including cutting measurements, card layouts, and a video to follow along -- including a link to download the handout that I shared in Thursday night's video.

The next card is not a Double Wonder card layout, but I wanted to use the new Picture This die. It's quick and easy to layer some designer paper and a greeting to create a card with this stitched window die. The die set comes with two dies -- one retangle and one circles.

And one last easy card. I wanted to show how you can stack the bold words instead of layering the script and bold sentiments from the Biggest Wish stamp set.

Watch the replay of last week's Thursday Night Stamp Therapy to see my create these cards -- and more!

Free Online Class: 12 Quick & Easy Fun Fold Cards

I had so much fun sharing the Double Wonder Cards last month that I wanted to do another online class. I started by showing the basic card-making folds and then introduced two fun folds: the Z Fold and the Gate Fold. We added some simple designer layering layer to make 12 cards in one hour.

Download the Basic Card-Making Folds Instruction Sheet (.pdf)

Watch the replay of my Facebook Live and follow along to make your own set of cards:

Here are the supplies you'll need: Supplies: Paper Trimmer [152392] –– http://bit.ly/2WVprpz (1) 12" x 12" Designer Paper (I used Dinoroar Designer Series Paper [155882] –– https://bit.ly/2M9CZZX) (6) 8-1/2" x 11" Colored Cardstock for Card Bases (I used Old Olive) (2) 8-1/2" x 11" Colored Cardstock for Layers (I used Pool Party) (2) 8-1/2" x 11" White or Vanilla Cardstock

Use the cutting and scoring measurements on the Basic Card-Making Folds Instruction Sheet (.pdf) for the card bases. Then add the designer paper and cardstock layers.

Easy Layering Measurements: 3" x 4" Designer Paper 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" Whisper White Cardstock (Cut down the middle at 4-1/4" and then cut each side into 3-1/4" pieces.)

After the class, I die cut some dinosaurs from the Dinoroar designer paper using the Dino Dies and added them to my cards.

All of the sentiments on these cards came from the #ShareSunshine PDF. I used different dies and punches to punch out the sentiments from the 15 page document.

This digital stamp set is packed with both lighthearted and thoughtful sentiments and imagery relevant to the unique COVID-19 and social distancing situation we are currently in. You can use the download in your cardmaking and papercrafting projects. Simply print the imagery on cardstock and cut it out using Stampin’ Up!’s Paper Trimmer, punches, or dies. Since we are physically distanced from each other, now is a perfect time to share sunshine with our friends and family by sending cards!

As part of Stampin’ Up!’s Making a Difference program, 100% of the Share Sunshine PDF Download proceeds will go to COVID-19 efforts. The #ShareSunshine PDF is only available until June 2, so don't wait!
