Favored Flowers SAB fun fold card with video


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:

  • All Around Wreath for Christmas


    Have you noticed the All Around Wreath bundle in the annual catalog? Click here; it's quite the gem!  So many occasions are covered in the greetings and die-cuts.  

    Marilyn made this pretty Christmas themed wreath for our Team Christmas card swap. 

    She chose to use two shades of green here; Mossy Meadow with Pear Pizzazz along with a few touches of Gold.  The pears are heat embossed in Gold powder as well as the shimmery thread.  

    Other details:

    • The greeting is die-cut with the Hippo & Friends dies seen here
    • The Vanilla layer is textured with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder
    • She used the same wreath die-cut but in two colors, separating them slightly on the card.

  • Retro style circles layout; super easy! Catch the Live video tonight!


    Tonight at 7:30 pm Central Time I'm sharing how to make these retro style circle cards on Facebook Live.  Click here to join me.   You can also see this video below!

    Basically you need three sizes of circle dies or punches for the start of this layout.  Cut them in half and layer together with the edges meeting on one side. Adhere and add a long greeting between the two. 

    Watch how on my FB Live replay!

    Measurements:

    • 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base
    • 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" Whisper White; the greeting strip is about 5" long and either 1/2" or 3/4" wide depending on your greeting image.
    • 1" X 5 1/2" horizontal strip
    • Circles from the Stitched Shapes dies are the largest three circles. 

    You'll want ink, stamps and embellishments that coordinate with your Designer Paper.  Remember you could use card stock instead of DSP.

  • Curvy Christmas & the Postage Punch


    Check out this easy card using the new Curvy Christmas stamp set and the Postage Punch!  

    It's super simple! Here's how I made it:

    1. Stamp the curvy trees image on the White CS using Shaded Spruce ink.  Color the trees with a Light Shaded Spruce Blends marker.  Add a tiny star using Cherry Cobbler ink on one tree. Adhere it to the Cherry Cobbler layer and to the main card.
    2. Punch out three pieces of Classic Christmas designer paper with the Postage Punch seen here.  Adhere to the White CS. 
    3. Stamp the greeting in Cherry Cobbler ink on a 1/2" strip of White CS.  Punch the ends with the Banners Pick a Punch. Add it to the card with mini dimensionals. 
    4. Finish with a few Holiday rhinestones. 

    You can see this stamp set here; it's only available through January 4th.  And the Classic Christmas Designer Paper is here while supplies last. 

    Remember that everyone who orders any of these products or places an online order with me in November will receive a free 22 project PDF tutorial featuring the Curvy Celebration products!
