Spellbinders May 2021 Club Kits Blog Hop: Vignette Garden Gate Morning Glories
Hello, Friends! Welcome to the Spellbinders May 2021 Club Kits Blog Hop! You should be coming here from Amanda’s lovely blog. Today I’m featuring the Amazing Paper Grace Vignette Garden Gate and the Clear Stamp of the Month. Morning Glories welcome you to open this charming gate and step inside for a refreshing glass of iced tea.
Farmhouse Garden Gate Tips and Tricks
Patterned papers and images from Simple Stories Simple Vintage Farmhouse Garden collection provide the perfect setting for this dimensional garden gate. You’ll be happy to know that this gate came together quickly and easily. Here’s how:
- First, die cut 2 gates from cream cardstock.
- Next, adhere the gates together to provide extra strength.
- Now, gently round the gate by rolling it over the barrel of a marker to create a curve.
- Then place 1/8″ foam adhesive strips on the left and right hand fence posts.
- Adhere the posts to the card front one at a time. After the first post has been adhered you can gently push the opposite post toward the center of the gate to create the curve.
Now you can tie a bow through the front of the gate, add flowers, butterflies and other embellishments to finish the design.
Making the Morning Glories
Would you like to know my secret tip for making the flowers on this card?
- First, die cut a whole bunch of flower and leaf layers from scraps of cream cardstock.
- Next, place the leaves and flower layers in separate containers. I used shallow recycled plastic snack containers for this. (Smart Balance Snacks work great.)
- Now, place a drop of Distress re-inker in the plastic container and spray in a bit of water. You need just enough water to create a small puddle.
- Next, tip the container around to color the leaves and flower layers.
- Then fold paper towels and tip the colored leaves and flowers out to dry.
- Shape the leaves by running a small ball stylus up the center. Then shape the flowers by poking the center with a small ball stylus. This will lift the petals and cup the flowers.
- Now layer the flowers together with a dot of adhesive. Then place Dries Clear Adhesive in the cup of each flower and sprinkle in a few Prills.
A Peek Inside
Create an envelope pocket inside the card. Then mat a 3×4 card from the paper collection on matching cardstock. Thread a ribbon through the top and tuck inside the envelope pocket. Now stamp a sentiment from the stamp set on patterned paper. I love the fonts, tiny florals and sentiments in this set! They are perfect for cardmaking!

Oh Kathy, as always, your card is just exquisite. I always look forward to seeing your blog posts because I know I’ll see something special. I love that gate die with all the pretty flower garden detail. Love that the inside of your cards are just as beautiful as the outside!
Gorgeous card like always! So beautiful!
I just recently started subscribing to the Amazing Paper Grace club and am loving the dies. This is a beautiful use of this die. You are so very talented!
Oh my, what a beautiful and intricate card ! Fantastic!
This is so sweet. Love the garden gate, colors and garden theme.
Fantastic cards Kathy. Love the layers and dimensions on the first one… wonderful scene! Thank you for the inspiration!
OH my word, what fabulous cards.
Luv your beautiful peach card Kathy! Those gorgeous little tiny flowers you made …soooo gorgeous!!! And luv that inviting garden gate too! Thanks for sharing another Kathy original creation! Hugs, Suzy Q
Lovely card to showcase this new die, Kathy! I must tell you, however, that it’s the veggie images on the inside that grabbed my attention! Love those peas!
I love mixed media and how you created this! The insert reminds me of Nick Bantock’s work!
I love this card Kathy! The gate is so inviting and the flowers and little seed packet just really make it perfect. How lovely is that sentiment inside on such a pretty garden background. Garden motifs are another huge favorite! Thank you for sharing this beauty! Hugs!
WOW…all I can say is WOW….and your design is stunning…(picking my jaw off the floor)
Love the card. So bright and happy.
OMG! I love all the layers! Great peach colors and flowers!
WOW! What a stunning card you have created with such lovely colors and so many details. The idea to bow the garden gate was genius, I’m going to have to try that.
I am always utterly amazed at your abilities, Kathy. That peachy color speaks to me; I think I will look for a peachy lipstick to remind me of the feeling I had while looking at this and sipping a cuppa. Those flowers are adorable. Yours is the best of the lot (and there was a lot of beauty in this hop – best for last)!
Gorgeous!!
Love this card and all the elements you used.
Simply stunning!
Can’t wait to enter this garden! Very realistic 🙂
I love how the garden gate opens into all of the peach colored background and flowers. It is really pretty. I don’t see many peach colored cards these days.
Beautiful work Kathy. Love the colour choices!!! Hope you are having a great Tuesday! Much love from Victoria. Hope Dale is doing better!!!
Love this card Kathy. The colors are awesome as well. Be safe & TYFS
What a beautiful project! Love it!
Beautiful card Kathy! Love the colors.
Beautiful card.
Super pretty garden gate card. WTG!
This card has a fresh feeling of Spring and is so lovely! I love the garden gate and the sentiment is sweet.

Stunning work – that Gate with the curve and pop up is so fabulous along with all of the added bits and bobs – TFS
I tried to leave a comment before but received a strange error message so I apologize if you get two very similar comments. What I was saying was how much I love your ability to create whole scenes on your card fronts. I think I’d like to give scene building a try, myself. 🙂
WOW! I love this card! Love the color, the Butterfly’s, how you did the gate, and the garden theme! Thanks for sharing with us. Hugs, Christal
Beautiful card, Kathy!! Love the peachy color and great tip on coloring the tiny flowers and leaves – well done!!!
