Featuring The Peaceful Place Suite

In this post I am featuring the Peaceful Place Suite (156277). This suite of products includes several unique offerings. First there is the Peaceful Cabin stamp set and coordinating Cabin dies. Then there is the beautiful Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper. You really have to see this paper to appreciate it because the silver embossing does not show up in the photo in the catalog. The colors of this paper are Smoky Slate, Basic Gray and Black with one side of the dsp having silver embossing. The suite includes Snowy White 12″ x 12″ velvet sheets, Timber 3D Embossing Folder, Subtle Shimmer Sequins, and White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon.

Handmade Christmas Card created with the Peaceful Cabin bundle.

This is the first card I created with the Peaceful Cabin bundle. This stamp set is a DistINKtive set so you get wonderful depth to the image with only one stamping. The background is Pool Party cardstock on which I stamped the snowflake stamp with Craft White ink. This ink is slower to dry than the classic Stampin’ Up! inks so I was able to add retired Iridescent Ice embossing powder to the snowflakes for a little sparkle. It’s there, the scanner just can’t pick it up. I have a very good friend who just moved to the mountainous Northern Arizona to a log house they built. This card is for them. I’m sure they will like it.

Supplies for Daytime Card Featuring Peaceful Place Suite

These are the Cabin Dies. At first I tried to use both the outline and the detail cabin dies together to cut out the cabin. The results were not good! I went on pinterest for ideas of how others had used the dies and realized that the two together were intended to cut a silhouette of the cabin. So I created this card that is like a crisp winter night.

One of the lovely designs of the Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Papers is this snowflake design. The snowflakes are white and then there are silver foil dots. This time, the scanner was able to pick up the shine. I used the White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon as an accent and stamped the greeting from the Sparkle of the Season stamp set in Real Red ink to add a touch of color to the card. I cut the greeting out with one of the Seasonal Labels dies.

Double Box Fancy Fold Card

Handmade Christmas Card using the Double Box fancy fold and Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper

I love fancy folds and this double box fancy fold card is easy and fun to make. The October Paper Pumpkin’ kit had pre-printed cards with this image on both the front and the back of the card. It is such a beautiful image with the snowy evergreen trees and the silver snowflakes that I couldn’t see using the patterned paper for the back of the card. So I cut the cards in half, added card bases from cardstock I had, and made twice the number of cards. That is what is on the front of this card.

However, you can still make this card even if you didn’t get the October Paper Pumpkin’ kit because the Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper found in the July – December mini catalog has a design just like the card in the kit. The kit was designed to coordinate with the Peaceful Place Suite of products. I love it when Stampin’ Up! designs products this way!

The back of this Double Box fancy fold card is where you can write your message and sign the card.
