Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

There’s something truly magical about the holiday season—cozy moments, heartfelt giving, and the joy of creating something special with your own hands. The Peaceful Garden Suite captures all of that and more with its elegant designs and timeless charm. Whether you’re crafting Christmas cards, heartfelt tags, or scrapbook pages filled with memories, this suite offers everything you need: graceful sentiments, versatile tools, and beautiful coordinating paper that you’ll reach for long after the holidays have passed.

During a recent LIVE, I showcased two cards created with the same layout but each with a completely different look. One featured the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder, which creates a stunning embossed frame with delicate filigree and greenery surrounding a large open space—perfect for your stamped images or sentiments. The other card highlighted the Peaceful Garden 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, which has beautiful dove and greenery images on one side and soft tone-on-tone washes on the other. The paper is perfect for holiday crafting, but its gentle designs make it just as lovely for all-occasion projects.

The embossing folder creates a stunning embossed frame with delicate filigree and greenery surrounding a large open space, which I used the dies and stamp set to add the greeting, and are backed with the beautiful glimmer paper. The die cut doves are recognized as symbols of peace and goodwill, and brought all together makes a beautiful Christmas card with dimension and texture.

As you can see, the layout of the two cards is the same, right down to the greeting (I only changes the color of the glimmer paper). The patterned paper I used gives a soft background and is perfect for Christmas, or switch out the greeting to either Sympathy or the Heartfelt Prayer stamps and change the entire feeling of this card, showing the versatility of this suite.

Both cards came together quickly, yet each offered its own personality: the embossed version was rich with texture and a little more luxurious, while the designer paper version had a softer, layered elegance that’s wonderful for creating multiples with ease. That’s what I love about this suite—it’s so easy to mix and match, whether you prefer the tactile beauty of embossing or the graceful flow of patterned paper.

If you’re looking to create projects that are both elegant and versatile, the Peaceful Garden Suite Collection is a wonderful addition to your crafting lineup. The coordinating products take the guesswork out of designing, allowing you to focus on what matters most—sharing a little handmade joy.

If you haven’t added the Peaceful Garden Suite to your collection yet, this is the perfect time to do so. It’s one of those suites that will serve you beautifully for the holidays and long after the season is over.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope these two cards inspired you.
