Product used:

the ghosts, pumpkin and striped trim are from the Cute Halloween designer paper in the Holiday catalog. See it here.
I punched one of the ghosts and the pumpkin with the Halloween punch. It's in a bundle with the Cutest Halloween set seen here or on page 51, which is where the greeting is from. *Sadly the Halloween punch is now on back-order until November!
the wreath & bats are die-cut with the Seasonal Swirl dies seen here & Black Glimmer paper in the annual catalog; seen here
the ombre background is actually Fresh Freesia CS, with Misty Moonlight & Night of Navy added with our Blending Brushes *watch the video below
Cute Stars Adhesive-backed sequins are also added to the wreath

Check out the ghostly treat box in the photo above. It's so simple to make with the Pretty Pillow box dies!

Save

The stitched tag is also in the Pretty Pillow Box dies. Look how it latches – the scalloped front slips in behind the tag in front. I love that I don't need a special way to keep it closed; the tag does it for me!

Check out the other version I made with the fun skeletons on the right? I fussy cut them from the Cute Halloween paper.

White 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”, cut 1 ¾” from the right

I haven't shared this for awhile so here it is; my favorite cutting template especially for inside a card. Get 5 pieces from one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. If you're making multiples this can save you a lot!

Below is the video. I make another project using Sparkle of the Season before this one. Fast forward to about 22 minutes in to see this neat Halloween card.

Christmas Season Gatefold card with a Designer Paper twist; FB Live video!

October 25, 2021
We're making these pretty cards tonight on FB Live 'Stamp with Me'. It's at 7:30 pm CT here.

Save

It's actually a gatefold card but the front panel is a piece of designer paper that leaves a reveal of the right edge of the card base which is textured.

For these two cards I chose to use the In Good Taste DSP (Annual Catalog on the left) and Cork paper on the left from the Holiday catalog.

Or see it on my YouTube channel here on Tuesday.

There’s so much you can do with the Merriest Moments bundle!

October 22, 2021

On this week's FB Live I featured the Merriest Moments bundle seen here – a beautiful bundle that includes a Hybrid embossing folder. This type of folder enables you to die-cut AND emboss at the same time!

Save

However it's important to only use the large outline die inside your Hybrid folder. Do not use the detailed die. You can use that after or before you emboss.

Look at these gorgeous cards in Evening Evergreen, White, Red & Just Jade.

Save

This next card really shows off the stunning die-cut & texture as well as the pretty holiday greeting. That cute baby poinsettia is made from our Red velvet paper and the dies in this bundle. The colors are Evening Evergreen, White and Red.

Save

The set of cards below have a window die-cut in the Thick White card base after texturing. I did run the front back through the Hybrid embossing folder again after I cut the window because it flattened a bit when die-cut. *This is shown in the video below or click here.

I added just a few die-cuts and the greeting to finish them. Simple yet beautiful!

Save

Next is a gorgeous card we made at my October Card Clubs. The pretty die-cut has been sponged with ink before or after it's embossed with the Hybrid embossing folder. Either way works fine.

Save

I chose an unlikely combo of Old Olive & Just Jade. Who knew they'd be so beautiful together?!

See this amazing bundle here in my store.

Below is the video where I show how to make most of these cards. I hope you watch it and get inspired to create yourself!

Angled Gatefold card with easy latch closure; the Christmas version

October 21, 2021

Here's the other set of Angled Gatefold cards I made on last week's Stamp with Me Live. Every other Monday I show a fun or easy way to use your Designer Paper. Don't hoard it; use it! Follow me on Facebook here.

Save

Each card is held closed by the punch or die-cut on the left. Placing your dimensionals on the left edge of each allows you to slip the right card flap between the greeting and the left front flap of the card base. Don't get it? Watch the video below!

See how the left flap is under the greeting?

Save

Here's the link to the video; or scroll down to watch it here.

The colors are traditional red & green – Real Red & Old Olive. I stamped the left side with the tiny peppermint image using White Craft ink.

This adorable designer paper is called Gingerbread & Peppermint. It's 6 X 6" and in our Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. See it here.

Here are the templates;

And here's the video below; it's short & you'll find these cards quite easy to make!
