SOME MORE CHRISTMAS CARDS THIS SATURDAY

The first card I have to share with you today is a super, simple one usingt he same Joyful Images and Joyful Sayings Ephemera Packs and DSP as yesterday.

For this card I used the Basic White Notecards & Envelopes.

All I needed was a piece of the DEsigner Series Paper and then the sleigh and greeting from the Ephemera Packs.

The second card is a step up from the first one.

I created a tucked away pop up corner fold that is revealed when you open the card.

To create the corner fold I scored the Real Red cardbase 3″ along the centre fold and the same distance along the lefthand side.

I added a panel of Real Red card to the card front. and a DSP panel.

From the Joyful Images Pack, I chose this /christmas tree and sleigh to add to the card.

THe greeting, from Joyful Sayings, was also added.

The three pearl jewels were coloured using the dark Real Red Blends pen.

I I chose some of the gift box images to decorate the corner fold.

The card insert was cut and I added a strip of DSP to finish it off.

For the last card, I used the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder to give the card front some texture.

The embossed Real Red panel was adhered to a Garden Green cardbase beofre adding more elements from the Joyful Images and Joyful Sayings Packs.

The greeting was added to both the front of the card and the card insert.

I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the bow for a little glimmer.

Using the dark Real Red Blends pen, I coloured three of the Iridescent Pearlsto finish the card.

Making these cards was made so easy with the ephemera packs.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to sahre with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY

Most of this week has been spent relocating my retired products to other craftrooms. I am so grateful to all the creative people who chose these items for their crafting adventures. I am beginning to make space ready for new goodies when the next Annual Catalogue is released.

This week I have also created several projects using Joyful Images and Joyful Sayings from the Mix & Match Ephemera products from the September – December 2024 Mini Catalogue. I also used the A Little Bit Festive 12″x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The fun fold card I made is a Double Corner Fold card.

I started with a Night of Navy cardbase and used the scoring blade on my paper trimmer to make the creases I needed for this design.

The first scorelines were made diagonally through the centre of the card and finished 1 1/4″ from the bottom edge of the cardbase.

The second set of scorelines were 1/2″ closer to the sides of the card.

After folding and burnishing the scorelines I was able to create the folded corners.

The next thing was to cut the Designer Series Paper to cover the front, back and inside the card.

I added some elements from the two Ephemera Packs to decorate the card.

Finally, I added a number of small Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.

I will have more projects to share with you over the weekend.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND A FUN FOLD CARD

This week has been all about MORE THAN AUTUMN.

The More than Autumn Bundle includes the More than Autumn Stamp Set and the More than Autumn Dies.

The More than Autumn Bundle has fun stamps and dies for creating autumn-themed and winter-themed accents for cards, scrapbooks, and more.

The stamp set comprises 36 photopolymer stamps, including 13 images and 23 words/phrases. It also has 23 dies, including 15 shapes (12 of which coordinate with the image stamps) and 7 words/phrases. The largest diemeasures 1 5/8″ x 1 3/8″.

REMEMBER: When you buy a current bundle, you save 10%!

My fun fold card today is a Circle Cut Out Card.

It has been quite a while since I used any of the Moody Mauve products, so I decided to use it for this project. I thought Moody Mauve coloured icing on the doughnuts would be perfect.

I started with the Moody Mauve card base and used one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies to cut the centre section out of the card front. Then I took a slightly smaller panel of Lost Lagoon DSP from the Subtles 6″x 6″ DSP, and placed it under the card front and traced the circle cut out. Then I was able to position the same die accurately. When the circle was cut, I was able to adhere the DSP panel on the card front.

For the white interior of the card I cut a piece of Basic White card, measuring 5 5/8″ x 4″. I scored and folded it at 4 3/8″ and then at 2 3/16″. I used my Bone Folder to create crisp folds in the card.

I adhered the white insert insode the card.

Then, after closing the card, I was able to position the Moody Mauve die cut circle inside the corresponding space on the card front. From there, I was able to adhere half the circle to the folded white insert.

I cut a second Moody Mauve circle and two, smaller white circles.

After looping some Moody Mauve Jute behind one of the white circles, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals and popped on the front Moody Mauve circle.

I alyered and adhered the other two circles and added them to the inside of the card.

Then I stamped, coloured and die cut four doughnuts and added them to the card. I also stamped and coloured another doughnut on the back of the envelope.

For the front of the card, I stamped the greeting and cut the banner using one of t he Stylish Shapes Dies. It was popped up on the card with dimensionals.

The final step was to add some Moody Mauve bling from the 2023-2025 In Colour Dots pack.

See you Monday with some new Stampin’ Up! products and projects to share.

Until then, happy stamping.
