5 fast Christmas cards with my 5 at a time templates!

And today I’ll share the 3rd group of ‘5 at a time’ cards from my video last week. This time I went with a Holiday theme!

My colors include Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, Pecan Pie and Very Vanilla. The Noel Tidings stamp set seen here has everything you need to create pretty card fronts or backgrounds for your holiday cards.

There is a beautiful set of dies that coordinate with this stamp set. See the bundle here. The dies are currently out of stock; but you can add your email address to the product to be notified when it becomes available.

Below you can see how I stamped the inside layers.

Both of these templates are included in the free project sheet I created. Click here to print or download it.

I’ll be proud to send these cards to my family and friends this Christmas.

Below is the video tutorial for these cards; you can watch me stamp them and get my tips for coloring the berries with a blender pen too.

The Starter kit deal ends on Saturday! I hope you’ll consider joining my team and taking advantage of the continual discount on all future Stampin’ Up! products!

• Lots to see in this month’s Control Freak’s Blog hop!

  February 19, 2022

  ---

  The theme for February's Blog Hop is projects for our friends! 

  There's a lot of talent in the Control Freaks group; be sure to click on each icon at the end of each post to see it all.   

  

  If you just stopped in from Bree's blog I'm sure you enjoyed her projects. She is uber creative!

  My first card features the Floating Technique. It gives the illusion that your paper is floating on the card.  

  

  I adhered random sizes of card stock strips onto a piece of Window Sheet and used our largest circle in the Layering Circles dies  to die-cut it out.  I've been making monochromatic cards lately and chose my favorite blue/green hues of Bermuda Bay, Pool Party & Coastal Cabana.  

  

  Details:

  • This circle is added with Stampin' Dimensionals onto White CS that's been embossed with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. 
  • The 'Thanks' is made with our Amazing Thanks dies from the January-June catalog. 
  • The 'Friend' greeting was fussy cut from the Special Moments stamp set.
  • Those pretty rhinestones are from a new release coming out in March called the Wave Collection.  Rhinestones in blues & greens!! 

  ~~~

  I recently made a card with the Hello Ladybug using Magenta Madness with Black and wanted to try it out with Coastal Cabana too. I found out that our new Supple Shimmer specialty paper works great for wings! It's pretty & iridescent.

  
  

  It's also what I like to call Black & White with a 'pop' of color.  A bit of black on a card makes other colors 'show up' and be noticed. 

  This card is an easy fun fold.  Turn any basic card into a fun fold with these measurements: 

  • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, score at 2 1/8” & 4 ¼”
  • White (X 2) 3 ½” X 4 ¾”
  • 3 ¾” X 5” Black

  
  

  The stamped images are all from the Hello Ladybug stamp set.  It's in a bundle with the punch at 10% off when purchased together.

• Brilliant Accordion Fun Fold card; it’s a big WOW!

  February 17, 2022

  ---

  If you ever want to impress someone with an extra special hand made card, try one of these Accordion cards.  They are so easy to make it looks fancy and a bit tricky. 

  

  I used the Daffodil Afternoon designer paper from our current Sale-a-Bration promotion. You can see it here and get it free with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.  

  The neat greetings are all from the Special Moments stamp set; another free choice from our Sale-a-Bration promotion through February.  See all of our free SAB choices here. 

  

  Details:

  • The colors are Crushed Curry & Mossy Meadow with a bit of Flirty Flamingo.
  • Beautiful Layer dies – greeting die-cut shapes 
  • Medium Daisy punch – flowers (sponged color on the edges)
  • Daffodil dies – stems & daisy centers 
  • Bough punch – leaves

   The fold is actually quite simple for the inside of this card.  I hope you watch the video below to see how it's done.  

  Accordion card measurements: 

  • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”
  • DSP 5 ¼” X 10” scored at 2”, 3”, 4”, 5”, 6”, 7” & 8”
  • Vanilla 3 ½” X 4 ¾” for front & 1 ¾” X 4 ¾” inside
  • Front DSP 1 ½” X 3 ½”, Mossy CS 3 ¾” X 5”

  

  Click on the photo below to watch the video.  This card is the last project; you'll see one other fun fold cards and a sketch card idea.
