Christmas in July

Hello my crafty friends. Have you started your holiday cardmaking yet? We started during this past July’s workshop with a simple card using the Online Exclusive stamp set, Iconic Imagery Stamp Set and Dies, plus the coordinating Designer Series Paper pack. The plan is for one holiday card each workshop so everyone has a good start to their cardmaking. We would love to see what you are working on.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  When creating numerous cards, like holiday cards for example, simple is better. And you can see results (i.e. total card count) quickly!

I (HEART):  The tiny heart (and Christmas tree) in this stamp set is adorable. Love it! 😊

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I hope this project has inspired your creativity. I would love to see what you have created. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.

Stamp On!!

Simple Holiday Card featuring Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder

Hello my crafty friends. We are on the home stretch for completing our holiday cards so they are timely out in the mail. It may be time to simplify your cardmaking by using the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder! Another beautiful and super simple card.

This is a top fold A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4", then fold and burnish the top for a crisp edge. I went with a Crumb Cake mat (5 1/4" x 4”) for embossing and a splash of Real Red behind the Merry Christmas sentiment (from the Beary Cute Stamp Set), cut a bit long in order to place a teeny tiny gingham bow.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  So, Basic White for the card base to reduce costs, but you could swap it out for either Real Red or Garden Green.

I (HEART):  Love, love, love the teeny tiny gingham bow. Not gonna lie, it was a bit hard to get it that small!! Love it! 😊

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I hope my project has inspired your creativity. I would love to see what you have created. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.

Holiday Card featuring Beary Cute Stamp Set and A Walk in the Woods DSP

Hello my crafty friends. One of my favorite holiday cards this year has been using the images from the coordinating Designer Series Paper to the Beary Cute Stamp Set/Bundle – A Walk in the Woods DSP. Could card making be any easier, or cuter?

This is a top fold A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4", then fold and burnish for a crisp edge. There are at least three choices of color for the first layer mat (5 1/4" x4”) to coordinate with the larger trees in this pack of DSP. Added bonus is you can quickly chop out a couple of trees and then use the coordinating dies from the Merriest Trees Dies to give the images a crisp edge. For my wintry background, the top mat (5” x 3 3/4") is Basic White embossed with the retired folder, Softly Falling, to give the appearance of snow lightly falling. And, by using the less dense side for the top, I was able to stamp the sentiment without adding a separate piece as a banner.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  There are several polar bears in the DSP that can easily be fussy cut, or coordinate with the Beary Cute Punch.

I (HEART):  Love, love, love this paper pack, A Walk in the Woods Designer Series Paper. So many colors to choose from. So many polar bears, and the cute, cute baby polar bear. Love it! 😊

Holiday Card featuring Merriest Trees Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends. In keeping with our goal of staying on top of our holiday card making, here is another card using the Merriest Trees Stamp Set in the familiar book binding design. I also used the coordinating A Walk in the Forest DSP for the background.

This is a side fold A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 4 1/4", scored at 5 1/2", fold and burnish for a crisp edge. To create the book binding design, add a second score line at 6 3/4 (an additional 1 1/4"). The DSP is cut at 4” x 5” (be sure to pay special attention to your pattern before cutting), then remove a 1” piece so that there are now 2 pieces - Side A of the DSP is 4” x 4” and Side B of the DSP is 1” x 4”. Once both pieces are adhered, add a double wrap of the Linen Thread and secure inside behind the 1 1/4" section.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  Many of the papers in this DSP pack will work for this card, however, if it seems too busy, there is no requirement to use Side B! Keep them both the same.

I (HEART):  I snuck in a red heart from the Alphabet à la Mode Dies on the gingham bow. Love it! 😊

Holiday Card featuring the Celebrate with Tags Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends. In order to stay on top of holiday card making, we are making at least one holiday card at each workshop. Last month’s workshop featured this adorable mitten in a non-traditional holiday color, the new 2023-25 In Color Boho Blue.

This is a top fold A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4", fold and burnish for a crisp edge. The mittens are stamped on a 2 1/2" strip of Basic White. The DSP strips from the 2023-25 In Color 6x6 Designer Series Paper Assortment are 1/4“ strips. Center on a Boho Blue mat (cut 4” x 5 1/4").

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  This super simple card would be awesome in your favorite color, not just this wintry blue or any traditional reds and greens.

I (HEART):  The Celebrate with Tags Stamp Set covers many card and gift-giving events. Should be a staple for every crafter! 😊
