Festive Cheer Christmas card

September 21, 2026

I love this fun fold card! Two step stamping is one of my favorite types of stamps.

I chose to use Cherry Cobbler, Peaceful Pine & Golden Glow as my color combination. The Designer Paper is the In Color gingham DSP seen here.

The Festive Cheer bundle is filled with two-step ornaments and great holiday greetings. And the dies coordinate wonderfully! See this bundle here.

It’s a unique fun fold in that the greeting tab on the left holds it closed. There’s a third score line on the right side of the card that will bend as it opens.

Here’s what it looks like fully opened. I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to download it or print it.

The video tutorial is below this next image. I’ll share my second card with this stamp set in a few days. Stay tuned.

There’s a new Product of the Month for September.

It’s called Luxe Foliage Specialty Designer paper and can be seen here. It’s yours for just $5 once your order reaches the $75 point.

Expressions in Kindness kit is back! And the sale ends today!

October 31, 2024

The Expressions in Kindness card kit is gorgeous! Look at these stunning cards…..

Save

This beautiful kit has been out of stock for many weeks. I'm so glad it's back in time for the kit promotion. It was $23 and is now $20.70 but that price ends today! See it here.

The kit is meant to make 8 cards but one set of the card bases is printed on both sides. I couldn't waste it so I trimmed it to add to both White & Blackberry Bliss card bases. I did have to add two greeting labels to get 12 finished cards but that's all I added besides extra envelopes.

Save

Here are the other 2 sets of cards; I didn't change much.

Save

Our kits are all inclusive which means everything is included including a stamp set, Blackberry Bliss ink spot, envelopes, gems, ribbon and adhesives.

Even though I consider myself an experienced stamper I love our kits. They give me a chance to create without a lot of prep or planning. They're great for gifts or last minute crafting.

Last of our Team swaps include a neat technique and a fun fold

October 30, 2024
Today I'm sharing the last three card swaps from my Team in October. Our theme was winter or Christmas.

First is Roxann's card. It's a Christmas village scene!

Save

She used the Yuletide Village stamp set seen here. She also used the Falling Snow background stamp; which she heat embossed with White powder.

She fussy cut all of these homes, church and trees! It's so pretty and real looking!

~~~

Next is a fantastic technique made by Tracey. You might think she used designer paper here…..

Save

It's not! She made her own stamped background using watercolor paper and three colors of ink. Here's how she did it:

She thoroughly wet the watercolor paper before stamping the snowflake images in the following inks: Pool Party (looks like green here), Balmy Blue & Boho Blue. When you stamp on the wet paper the ink travels and blends together but leaves a faint impression of the snowflake images sometimes. Simply gorgeous!

The snowflake die-cuts are from the Frozen Edges dies seen here. The greeting and snowflake images are from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set seen here.

Measurements of the layers are as follows:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4", Textured white layer 5 3/8" X 4 1/8", greeting strip 5 1/2" X 1"
- Blue background is 4 1/8" X 3 1/4"
- Watercolor paper strips – left to right – 1/2" X 3 1/2", 3/4" X 3 1/2", 1" X 3 1/2" and 1 1/2" X 3 1/2"

Next is a pretty fun fold made by Rita.

Save

She used the Winter Meadow designer paper and the Encircled in Nature dies (seen here) for her trees. The front panel (White) is adhered to a flap that is part of the card base. It's a neat fold!

Her card base measures 11" X 4 1/4", score at 2 1/4" & 5 1/2". Then make a mark at 1" from the top and 1" from the bottom on the 2 1/4" score line. You'll trim off the outer portion and that creates a flap for the White layer which measures 3 1/4" X 2".
