A group of the Art With Heart Team is hopping through the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order, and Week 16 is all about Cloud Cover. It’s such a soft, gentle shade — perfect for journaling, texture, and anything with a calm, cosy feel.
This week I created both a journal page and a card, and they came together so naturally. Last Friday, while I was recovering from a virus, my Paper Pumpkin kit arrived — perfect timing! As I followed the instructions, one of the designs instantly inspired me, and the colours were spot on for this week’s Cloud Cover theme.
✨ My Card Project
“Cloud Cover card featuring Paper Pumpkin elements and Velvet Meadow SDSP”
For the card, I adapted the original Paper Pumpkin layout and added dies from Gears & Textures, cut from Cloud Cover cardstock — I love using leftover pieces from past projects.
The white card with the rectangle cut‑outs is actually the leftover piece from the kit. I stamped over the dies and the white panel using Gray Granite and the Paper Pumpkin Kit stamp. The leaf is also from the kit.
The background SDSP is the gorgeous Velvet Meadow — the flocked texture adds beautiful depth without overpowering the soft Cloud Cover tones.
📏 Card Measurements
Basic White card base: 140mm × 210mm, scored at 105mm
Velvet Meadow SDSP layer: 140mm × 105mm
Cloud Cover scrap: used to die‑cut the Gears & Textures elements
📖 My Journal Page
Insert Journal Page Photo — Caption: “Weekly journal page with Cloud Cover, Velvet Meadow SDSP and fussy‑cut florals”
For the journal page, I added a little card that holds all my daily journaling. I fussy‑cut flowers and leaves from Velvet Meadow SDSP, and used the same SDSP for the front of the card and the journal background.
I folded the right-hand side of the SDSP to create a flap so the card tucks in neatly — a simple detail that adds both function and charm.
The leaves are from Boutique Blossoms, cut from Lost Lagoon two‑tone card, and the Cloud Cover scallop and sentiments are from Scalloped Blooms, stamped in Cloud Cover on Basic White. I finished with the adorable 2026–2028 In Color Butterflies, and cut the sentiments using the Three Banner Punch.
The journal page is backed with Cloud Cover cardstock for a soft, cohesive finish.
