Snowman Magic WOW card; amazing work by Candace!

Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap.  Our theme was fun folds!  I know you're going to love seeing their wonderful creations. 

Today I'm sharing two cards featuring the Santa Express designer paper. This first is made by Candace. She used the Snowman Magic bundle seen here in the 2022 Holiday Catalog.

Amazing, right?!  

It folds flat for mailing and fits in a standard A2 envelope.

I'm going to do my best to provide the correct card stock measurements for this:  

• Shaded Spruce 2 pieces at 4" X 6" score on the long sides at 2" & 5 1/2"; turn and score on the short side at 2".  Cut up to the score lines and trim off the extra 1/2" strip.  
• inside pieces are 1" X 5 1/2" scored at 3/4" from both ends.  The scored ends are folded and adhered to the outer edges of the box inside. 

She used 1/4" strips of Window Sheets to hold up the snowflakes and holly.  The snowmen, trees and bunny are adhered to the box and inside strips.  It's so darn cute!

All of these elements are in the Snowman Magic bundle!

Next is another incredible card made by Brenda; she chose to use the Santa Express designer paper also and added the coordinating Santa's Delivery bundle to hers.

Save

It's a side-step fun fold card.  She chose to use Petal Pink and Pear Pizzazz for her card base & layers.  I love the jumping penguins and that smoke stack!  

Save

Here are the measurements:

• Card base 5 1/2" X 6" scored in half at 4 1/4".  Then make a mark at the 1" and at 6 3/8" at the 3" mark across.  
• Now you'll cut from those marks down the center of the card.  
• Next score up to the cut line at 1", 2", 3 1/4" and 6 3/8" 

Save

She cut the trains from the Santa Express designer paper using the Santa's Train dies; which coordinate perfectly.  The cute penguins & smoke are stamped, colored & die-cut.  They're added with 1/4" strips of Window sheets so they pop up and flutter when opened.  Just adorable!

Remember some of these items can sell out before the catalog ends.  Already we are out of the Lights Aglow specialty DSP.

  Totally different looks from the same Friendly Hello designer paper.  You can go soft or bold with it! 

  On the top right I added the stamped image from the Friendly Hello stamp set (part of the free bundle during SAB) and on the top left I added a few die-cuts from the Tropical Layers dies seen here.  I think they coordinate wonderfully.

  I LOVE sharing what my friends make.  Shout out to Melissa who made this adorable, bright & happy Easel Calendar for her club friends this month.

  She searched for a tutorial and actually found one I did last year!  She added a box for a pack of post-it notes too!  

  She used the Pattern Party host paper seen here or on page 171 of our Annual catalog.  I always encourage my hostesses to choose this paper; it's the BEST deal! It's valued at $30 but hostesses can choose it for just $18 as part of their hostess benefits. Tip: Everyone earns free benefits on orders over $150; even Demonstrators! 

  This is the type of information I want you to know before placing an order.  I want to maximize your value and get you the best deal on our products that I can! *please contact me before ordering so I can help you!

  It's a huge pack of 48 12 X 12" sheets with fun, colorful patterns on one side & Black & White on the other.  It's my favorite DSP in the whole book!

  I played with the Rainbow of Happiness bundle on Facebook Live earlier this week.  Here's a neat shaker card I made: 

  Save

  Shaker cards look difficult but they're fun AND easy!  Watch the video below to see how it's done.

  The Rainbow of Happiness bundle is 10% off in our Spring catalog.  See it here.  I just noticed it's on low inventory. That means when they run our it will not be available again until the product is restocked. That Global Shipping issue you know!!

  It's hard to see in the photo above but the paper inside the shaker is our Rainbow Glimmer specialty paper from the annual catalog.  I share a neat trick to get these rainbow die-cuts in place in the video below or click here. 

  Here's a close up of another:

  Here are some details:

  • The large rainbow is made with the Brilliant Rainbow dies – it's part of the Rainbow of Happiness bundle. 
  • The small clouds are die-cut from our Supple Shimmer paper & the Rainbow dies
  • The sequins & beads in the shaker are from the Sparkle & Shine sequins
  • I used our Foam Adhesive strips on the back side of the White die-cut piece to raise it and keep the shaker pieces in place.
  • The large clouds are punched with our new Cloud Punch. One is punched from the Sunshine & Rainbows free DSP during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here.

  The card above on the left has a cloud bank made with our Border Basic dies and our new Supple Shimmer paper.  Stampin' Up! is terrific at coordinating their products so incredibly.
