✨ Peaceful Pine – Art With Heart Team Colour Creations Blog Hop (Week 5) ✨

This week the Art With Heart Team is hopping through the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order, and our focus is the beautiful Peaceful Pine. My project for Week 5 is my weekly journal page, created using the Moonlit Flora Suite and the Extraordinary Life Bundle — a combination that works perfectly with this rich, calming green

🌿 Project MeasurementsTo help you recreate this layout, here are the exact measurements:Soft Sea Foam panel — 192mm × 130mm

I cut out the centre to use for leaves and the arch for the journal door (no waste crafting).

Moonlit Flora DSP — 186mm × 124mm

This layers beautifully over the Soft Sea Foam base.

🌙 Design DetailsI cut a selection of leaves, flowers and butterflies from both Moonlit Flora and Extraordinary Life. Playing with these pieces helped me decide what worked best — and all leftovers will be used in future projects 

😊.Colours used:

Peaceful Pine ink, Blends & cardstock 

• Basic White 

• Golden Glow cardstock & Blends 

• Two‑Tone Peaceful Pine 

• Soft Sea Foam 

• Secret Sea ink

• In Color Dots (Peaceful Pine added the perfect sparkle).

🖋 Sentiments & BordersFor the sentiments, I used the same die and border stamp.

I stamped one half of the border, realigned the stamp, then stamped the other end to create a shorter border. After die‑cutting one side, I realigned the die to trim the other. The sentiment didn’t land perfectly in the centre — but the Peaceful Pine In Color Dot hides it perfectly 😊.

🌿 Journal Doors & Inside PagesThe “doors” covering my journaling pages were created using the large Everyday Arches Dies: 

Cut the arch in half

Emboss with the Fern & Floral 3D Embossing Folder

Score each side at 10mm so they open like little shuttersInside is a pocket where my journaling pages slide in

I glued two die‑cut pages from Extraordinary Life inside the pocket and stamped the fronts in Peaceful Pine. My plan is to write five positive things each day — a simple gratitude practice I love.

“Week 5 – Peaceful Pine journal spread featuring Moonlit Flora & Extraordinary 

“Die‑cut pieces from Moonlit Flora and Extraordinary Life — perfect for layering.

“Border stamping technique using partial stamping and realigned die‑cutting.”

“Everyday Arches doors embossed with Fern & Floral 3D folder — scored at 10mm to open.

“Pocket created to hold my journaling pages — ready for five daily positives.”

“Fern & Floral 3D embossing adds beautiful texture to the journal doors.”

💚 Final Thoughts

I hope this week’s Peaceful Pine project inspires you to create something meaningful and beautiful.

Happy Stamping, Hx
