Velvet Meadow gatefold card with video & free project sheet
This is another card we made at my July card clubs. It features the Velvet Meadow specialty DSP seen here.
It’s a simple gatefold card. I matched most of the DSP so it created a full panel on the front. This DSP has fussy or flocked areas on it. It does feel velvety!
I also used the new Exciting Times punch bundle for the center. You can see it here.
Here’s what the inside looks like. I added a strip of the DSP along with the white for stamping and signing. Then added a skinny divider of Bubble Bath for a little accent color.
My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath and Peaceful Pine.
I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download or print it. Remember it’s a great idea to save these on your computer for easy access.
The video tutorial for this card and one more neat fun fold is below. Thanks for popping in today!

Thanks a Bunch; a sneak peak of Sale-a-Bration
I joined several online swaps and challenged myself to play with the new Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Looking At You'. It's all about carrots!
Here's what I came up with:
I paired it with the new Sale-a-Bration paper called Dandy Designs. It's 12 X 12" and has 48 sheets. It's free with a $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion; January 5th – February 28th.
When figuring out my card swap I came up with two different cards. The left card is simple but shows off the images and DSP. The card below on the right is a fun fold card.
The center panel on the right card above and the card below slides up and down; I call it a Vertical Slider card. It's not attached to anything but 'catches' on both sides of the center gatefold design with three circles or squares adhered to the back. It's so easy! Here's a linkto the video on how to make it.
I decided to fussy cut one carrot on each card and pop it up with Stampin' Dimensionals. It took a little time to do 22 of them, but worth it in my opinion.
Here's a photo of all 22 cards I made for my swap. I love the colors for the carrots – Mango Melody & Granny Apple Green – I think they're perfect for them.
You can earn this stamp set free during Sale-a-Bration – January 5th – February 28th. Any $50 order and it's yours! Stay tuned for more sneak peaks this week.
Below is a video tutorial with another version of the vertical slider card:
I hope you've had a wonderful Christmas weekend. We sure did. It was crazy busy trying to fit all of our annual activities into three days. But we did it! I sure love having my kids home for the holidays; we all look forward to it!
We have a few traditions; one is an appetizer show down. Each one of us makes an appetizer for Christmas eve and we vote on them. We vote on taste AND presentation. This year my granddaughter won with her Pizza Monkey Bread with marinara dipping sauce. I came in second with Spanakopita.
The other fun thing we do is play Minute to Win It games. We had a golf putting game, build the tallest snowman with marshmallows, Corn Hole, name the items in the stocking, moving mini marshmallows from one bow to another with a straw, filling a bowl with bows using a spatula blindfolded. It's always a blast. Funny story…. I always buy random presents for winners but totally forgot this year. And I won! Sheesh!

I shared this pretty card on last week's Facebook Live. I'm not sure what this fold is called though!
The center panel lifts up. It's 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". The center DSP is 3" X 4" and so is the inside white panel.
The flowers on the front White oval are fussy cut from the designer paper. This beautiful paper is free with a $50 order starting January 5th during Sale-a-Bration.
I used Blackberry Bliss card stock since it matches the designer paper so well.
Card base 5 ½” X 4 1/4", 3 ¼” X 8 ½” scored at 4 1/4"
White inside & DSP 3" X 4", DSP side pieces are 1" X 4" and 1 1/4" X 4"
The greeting is from another Beautifully Happy stamp set; also a free choice during Sale-a-Bration. It's a big 17 piece Photopolymer set that's free with a $100 order from January 5th – February 28th.
Here's the video showing how to make this card and another snowflake version too:
Santa Suit candy bar pull-up treat with measurements
I shared this cute candy bar treat on my Tuesday FB Live video this week. Need a last minute treat or stocking stuffer??
When you pull the ribbon it brings the candy bar out of the 'suit'. So fun! And quite easy to make too. It fits a standard full size Hershey candy bar but would likely work for others too.
Measurements:
Real Red 6” square scored on one side at 1 ½”, 1 ¾”, 4 ¼” & 4 ½”
Black strip ¾” X 6” scored same as above, Black 1/2" 'buttons'
White glimmer ¾” X 6”
Silver buckle is from the Potted Succulents dies
The greeting is from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set. I used the Tailor Made Tags for my White greeting tag.
I wish you a very Merry Christmas!
I hope you can spend it with your favorite people!
