TWO Fancy Fold Christmas Cards

Hey Guys!

On my YouTube live video from today the 10th of December, I showed you two Christmas Cards that have a Fancy Fold! I LOVE cards that have something added to them that makes them more interesting and different folds definitely make them interesting!

First, I am going to show you the one that I am absolutely over the moon happy with!!

One of my Two Christmas cards with a Fancy Fold

Did you notice that other than the fold, this card isn’t all that detailed? Furthermore you only have to stamp Two images! Even though it doesn’t take a lot of stamps, it is STUNNING! Sitting here in my stamp room, I love to look at this card! Subsequently this will have to go to someone special who will really appreciate it!

As always here are the ingredients to make this card:

  • Stamps:
  • In The Pines
  • Wrapped in Christmas
  • Inks:
  • Old Olive
  • Crumb Cake
  • Markers: Pretty Peacock & Real Red
  • Paper:
  • Pretty Peacock: 11″ x 6 1/2″, scored @ 2 3/4″, 5 1/2″ & 8 1/4″ (Landscape), Turn to portrait: Score @ 1″ on BOTH sides. Cut while in portrait Place on 1″ mark then cut from 1 1/2″ to 9 1/2″, do this cut on BOTH sides!! Place back in so it is Landscape place cardstock to 1 1/2″ and score BETWEEN the cuts, flip and do the same on other side.
  • Copper: 2 1/2″ x 7/8″ (x4), 4 3/8″ x 2 5/8″ (x2), scrap for Deer
  • Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP: 4 3/8″ x 1 3/8″ (x4….2 designs)
  • Very Vanilla 4 1/8″ x 2 3/8″ (x2)
  • Misc:
  • North Pole Wonder Dies
  • Dimensionals
  • Greenery folder
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Label Me Lovely punch

Now onto the Second card in my Live YouTube video! Incidentally this one is a peek-a-boo card. As with the first card this one also uses minimal stamps. Furthermore, this card is very striking even though it doesn’t have the folds the first card has.

2nd of my Two Fancy Fold cards

How to copy a card and make it your own.

Hey Guys!,

First off, I got this idea from the Holiday Catalog from Stampin’ Up! I like to get ideas and then change them up to make them my own design. Next, we will take a walk through my thought process! As usual, here is a video showing you how to make this card. Finally, this card on page 43 is the card I wanted to make my own:

The card on the right is the one I am going to make into my own design!

Generally, when looking for a project to do, I first look in Pinterest, but this time I looked at the SU! catalog! Consequently it ended up being an awesome place to get an idea! Furthermore, I wanted to use the In The Pines Bundle and this would work with an idea I had in my head. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the circle that is on the card above. However, I did have the die from the Painted Labels that let me cut out a circle design that would take it’s place! Also, I wanted to use the trees singularly from the stamp set but die cut to have more detail. Likewise, instead of the ribbon that comes out the side of the circle I used gold foil cut into two strips. By the way, I DID use the acorns for my card, here is what I made:

I replaced some things to make this design my own creation!

Usually, I like to have layers on my cards and this time is no exception! Likewise, I love to sponge the edges of my cards and I did that with Crumb Cake and then Early Espresso to add a dark edge that makes the card pop! As a rule, I like to have my insides go with the front using the same layers, this (to me) seems to make the card look more professional.

Notice how the inside mirrors the front?

Finally, here are the details for this card:

Stamps:
In the Pines Bundle
For Unto Us
Inks:
Crumb Cake
Early Espresso
Old Olive
Paper:
Crumb Cake 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", 5" x 3 3/4" (x2)
Old Olive 5 1/4" x 4" (x2), scraps for trees
Gold Foil
Misc: 
Wonder of The Season OR Forever Greenery combo
Jingle Bells OR Acorn Trinkets
Glue Dots
MultiPurpose Liquid Glue
Mini Dimensionals
Painted Labels Dies
Banners Pick a Punch

As always, below will be the same supplies listed in picture form, click on any of them to be taken to my On Line Store! Subsequently, any purchase over $35 you will get from me a PDF with 16 project ideas that include pictures and step by step instructions! So then, this is a thank you from me!

Before I go, I wanted to tell you that I have another card that you can see here that I took from the catalog and made it my own (see page 38). As you can see I like to get ideas and then change them up to make them my own design.

In Conclusion, thank you so much for coming to visit me! Together, we can make things we see into our creations!

Christmas in July Final Card #6

Hey guys,

I’ve been sharing with you all the Christmas cards I did for my Christmas in July class……hope you have liked them so far!

Today is the Bonus Card where my guests only made 1 of this one. The reason is because I would have had to buy at LEAST 4 – 5 packages just for this one Designer paper since I had 10 people come and if they each did 3, well you do the math!

This was one of my favorites that we made.  I love plaid and the green with the blue is so pretty!  Plus the trees stamped on the front really remind me of picking out Christmas trees!  Does it you?

Here is the front of the card:

And the inside:

Isn’t this a pretty card!?

I added Wink of Stella under the trees on the front and under the one on the inside to give it the ‘snowy’ feeling.  One of the trees is popped up on the front to add dimension.

The supplies are listed below, click on any picture to be taken to my OnLine Store!   This is the end of my Christmas cards, be sure to come back to see what I make next time!

Thank you for supporting me!

The card today is using Sheltering Tree from Stampin’ Up!

Here is the front of the card:

We Stamped the tree in Versamark and then embossed it with Silver Embossing Powder.  It’s quite beautiful in person!  The bow is from the Stamp set Beautiful Bouquet from SU! as well.
