Merriest Moments & Spruced Up Christmas card ideas


This week it's all about sharing October's Team swaps with a Christmas theme.  I know you love seeing what they make as much as I do!

First is a gorgeous card made by Kim with the Merriest Moments stamp set & Merriest Frames Hybrid embossing folder.  These products were a bundle in last year's Holiday catalog, but this year they are offered separately.  

She used Starry Sky and White card stock with beautiful Silver embossing on the greeting and some of our gorgeous Silver mesh ribbon under the center panel.  

Did you know you can cut and emboss card stock at the same time with our Hybrid embossing folder & dies?  See them here; it's sooo cool! 

Absolutely stunning!

Next up Paula used the same dies and stamp set, plus she added the Christmas Banners bundle to it as well.  

Her colors are Real Red with Garden Green & White.  

She turned it into a fun fold too but scoring the front panel one extra time at 2 1/8".  Look closely at the many die-cuts she has here! 

Next is a beautiful card made by Brenda in blues & white with lots of layers.  

She used the Spruced Up bundle seen here for the trees with lots more product as well.  

Details:

  • Twigs & Springs embossing folder for the large White layer (seen in the annual catalog here)
  • She embossed her Vellum card stock with the Wintry 3D embossing folder
  • The DSP is the Storybook Gnomes seen here
  • That iridescent Snowflake is from the Wonderful Snowflakes seen here; all cut & ready for you & a great value!

Stay tuned for more incredible swap cards by my Team.

  • Merriest Moments ‘5 at a time’ cards with free templates


    Here's another set of my '5 at a time' cards I shared yesterday here.  I used the Merriest Moments stamp set. This stamp set is carrying over to next year's Holiday catalog along with the dies & Hybrid embossing folder but they will not longer be in a bundle at 10% off.

    See the carry over list here.  And the retiring or Last Chance list here  

    My colors include Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, Sahara Sand & White.  I love the unusual addition of the Sahara Sand.  I chose it to blend in softly instead of another attention grabber. 

    See the texture?  After I stamped I used the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder before layering the pieces and finishing the cards. I used the Double Oval punch here. 

    If you missed yesterday's post I shared these '5 at a time' cards on a recent FB Live video seen here.  I created two templates that layer each other for quick set of 5 A2 sized finished cards.  And they sized perfectly for very little waste. 

    Below is how the White card stock is stamped.  Can you see that the images concentrate on two sides of each piece leaving one corner free & clear? This keeps the cards from being too busy. 

    Before I stamped I scored on the 4 3/4" and 3 1/2" lines (using the measurements on the template) leaving the piece intact. You could also draw a light pencil mark so you know where to stamp. Then after stamping I can cut on the scored lines. 

    Below are the templates.  Remember these are 8 1/2" X 11" to start with.  


    As you can see these templates have very little waste. 

    I hope you watch the video below to see the tips & tricks on using these templates.

  • My ‘5 at a time’ card templates are addicting!


    I'm so excite to share this fun & unique idea!  I created two templates that help you make 5 cards at a time.  It's addicting & you'll be looking at your stamps in a whole new way!  

    I shared this on last week's Facebook Live and it was a hit!  It's so fun to do. 

    For these cards I used the Merry Snowflakes stamp set (seen here) & Pool Party, Bermuda Bay & Highland Heather inks. The card stock is White, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay & Coastal Cabana. If you follow me you know these are some of my favorite colors! They're perfect for snowflakes. 

    Below are the templates.  Remember these are 8 1/2" X 11" to start with.  For these cards I stamped before I cut but you can certainly cut your pieces first if you'd like to. 


    As you can see these templates have very little waste. 

    Before I stamped I scored on the 4 3/4" and 3 1/2" lines leaving the piece intact. You could also draw a light pencil mark so you know where to stamp. 

    And here is how the White card stock is stamped. (I forgot to take a photo before I cut and layered them.)

    Can you see that the images concentrate on two sides of each piece leaving one corner free & clear? Basically you're stamping down the middle and on each of the lines. This keeps the cards from being too busy. 

    I added a few iridescent Wonderful snowflakes (seen here) to some of them; I cannot get enough of these!  They're such a great size & value – you get 24 for $6. 

    I hope you watch the video below to see the tips & tricks on using these templates. 

    Below is the video so you can see how it's done.

    I'm also sharing this amazing card we made at my November card clubs. I cased it from my friend Susie Wood; she generously shared her idea and card with me. You can see more of her work here on her blog. 

    Isn't it adorable?!  I just loved her colors & design and had to case it almost exactly!  And guess what?!  The Penguin Place bundle is back in stock!!  See it here online; it will not return as a bundle at 10% off after this catalog period.

    In addition to the Penguin Place bundle I used the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper (retiring), Circles Collection dies & Black glitter paper (retiring).

    The next two photos show the box inside the fold.  There's also a flap you attach your circles to.  See the measurements below.  The video will help you the most though! 


    Here's how it looks from the side:



    Measurements:

    • Black – card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2", Black scalloped circle 2 3/4", plus a 2" X 4 1/2" strip, scored every inch for the flip box & a 3/4" X 2" strip for the flip part
    • White inside 4" X 5 1/4", White circle 2 1/3"
      Heartwarming Hugs DSP 1 1/2" X 4"
      Red circle 2 7/8"

    Here's the video for this card; I hope you watch it and feel comfortable enough to try making one.
