OFF-SET GATEFOLD CARD FOR WEEK 5 – 12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS!

Week 5 of our 12 Weeks of Christmas series. This week it is an Off-Set Gatefold card. It’s just a little different to the regular Gatefold Cards.

For this card I have used the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper. It’s so easy to cut one of the sweet birds from the paper to add to the front of your card. One of the Dies from the Winterly Tree Tops Dies is meant to diecut one of the birds but you can fussy-cut them out too.

Create this how you like to and it can be great for any occasion. Once you have the scoring worked out it’s very easy to create. You can follow along in the video.

The pretty diecut circle was cut with the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I do love this die set with the pretty edges. There are 3 different die edges in the set. See them more -> HERE.

The written tutorial will be sent out in next week’s newsletter. If you would like to receive them the link details are in the right hand side column.

This is the card created and you can see the inside.

Have fun creating one. And share it with me if you like to. I love to see other versions.

Happy Crafting,

A CUT AND FLIP CARD WITH REINDEER DAYS!

Did you catch last week’s video for our 12 Weeks of Christmas series?? It was created with the Cut and Flip Method. That’s what I call it anyway.

The card in the video was using the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper. I created another version. This one is using the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper.

Simply put the Cut and Flip Method is take a piece of pretty paper. Cutting it and then flipping one side over. So you see both sides of the paper. And it is cool too.

This is the card.

The sentiment is from Reindeer Fun Stamps and Dies. The tree was stamped in Garden Green and Granny Apple Green.

Don’t forget some sparkle with the Granny Apple Green Glimmer Paper.

You can check the video by heading back a post or two.

Have fun creating one.

Happy Crafting,

FRONT FLAP CARD WITH A SURPRISE + VIDEO!

Today’s card is a cool Fun Fold. It is a Front Flap Card. It has an added flap that you could add a surprise inside.

This card was shared to me by a Demonstrator friend Linny. I loved the card and wanted to share it with you.

Here is the card.

Lift up the Flap.

Open the card.

Under the flap would be a great to add a Numbered birthday perhaps or even add a pocked for a Gift Card.

I have a video for you to follow along.

I used the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Paper. Also the Golden Greenery Stamp Set and the Greetings of the Season Stamp Set. It makes a special Christmas card to send. This could be used for so many different occasions though.

I share another one version at the end of the video so be sure to check out that one.

Follow along and I hope you get to make one.

Happy Crafting,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW #165 – WHICH WHITE CARD??

Wednesday’s WOW! #165 – White White card?

Did you know there is a new White Card available?? It has just been released. So let’s check it out and what difference it is to the other White card.

Until recently there has been the Basic White card and Basic White Thick Card.

The Basic White Card is good for your general stamping and layers on your cards and projects. This is available in 12″x12″ and A4.

The Basic White Thick Card is a little heavier weight. You can stamp on this card and it is good when colouring with the Stampin’ Blends. Being thicker though it is good for Card Bases. This is available in A4.

Now there is the White Willow Card. This is similar weight to the Basic White and is good for stamping and layers on card. It does look a little crisper white to the Basic White. This is available in 12″x12″.

Here you can see how they look all together.

You can see the White Willow card -> HERE.

Hope that was helpful for you. See how you can use that in your crafting,

Have a Happy Day,

Jenny

GIFTS TOSSED UP WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! SURFING SANTA STAMP SET.

I have been playing a bit with the Surfing Santa set this week. This one is a great one for our warm, sunny Christmas.

I had this idea with this one to have the gifts look like they were tossed up on the waves. This is the card. I have to say though it wasn’t quite what was in my head. Something is not quite right. But maybe it’s an idea for when you use this set.

The paper is from the Reindeer Days pack which works ok with it.

This is the Surfing Santa Stamp Set.

Very cool isn’t it. Not just for Christmas though. I think the wave and the sun would be great with the Beach Day stamp set. I must try that.
