The Sunshine & Rainbows DSP is one of the happiest group of papers I've seen in awhile.  It's 6 X 6" in size and one of the free choices during our Sale-a-Bration promotion through February 28th.  It's free with any $50 order; see it here. Pair it with the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle (seen here) to add additional patterns and rainbow-themed greetings.

Every few weeks on Monday nights I host a Stamp with Me Live where you can stamp along with me, using whatever products you already own.  *I share the products & measurements 2 days before the Live on my FB Page. (see them below)

Did you know there are prizes?? After the video I post a 'Let's Share' post where you can share a photo of your cards.  Ikeep it open for 2 weeks & draw a door prize among those posted.  

Here are both versions I made:

• ‘Ornament’ Christmas cards for quick & easy card making!

  November 28, 2022

  ---

  We're making ornament cards on tonight's Stamp with Me Live.  It's a quick & easy idea for your Christmas cards!

  Save

  
  

  The designer paper is the Santa Express seen here.  It's filled with lots of great patterns; not just Santas & trains.  

  Join me here Live at 7:30 pm CT.  The video will be on my YouTube channel by Tuesday, November 29th too. 

  I chose an 'easy' card so those who feel rushed in getting their Christmas cards made. Plus these cards use your DSP and an embossing folder too; both make a card special. 

   

  I added a Wonderful Snowflake to the designer paper circle for a quick, beautiful iridescent element.  These snowflakes will be well discounted on Thursday with the Last Chance List seen here: Download 2022 Holiday Catalog Last Chance

  The greeting is from the Joyful Flurry stamp set. 

   

  Join me here when I share some tips on making these fun and easy cards tonight. 

   

  Gather these supplies:

  • Card bases 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • White or neutral background layer 3 3/4" X 5", will be textured
  • Another layer 4" X 5 1/4"
  • 'ornament' circles cut from DSP – mine are almost 3" around
  • Silver or gold paper (or other) for the top of the ornament
  • Twine or thin ribbon

  Other items: Greeting stamps, ink, embossing folder, snowflakes

   

  I made one card into an easy fun fold by folding the front of the card base back on itself. For this one I chose to add greetings from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set. 

  Save

  
  The card base is Mint Macaron with White & Poppy Parade accents.

• 2 more fun fold card ideas for you; from the Flowerbugs!

  November 24, 2022

  ---

  Happy Thanksgiving!!  I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday weekend and spend it with friends or maybe stamping!

  We'll be with our kids in Fargo and besides enjoying our turkey dinner we'll be playing games, going to an escape room and I'll be addressing some Christmas cards too.  

  ~~~

  Here are more of our Flowerbug's Team swaps featuring fancy folds.  

  Candy made this 'book binding' card with the Kindest Gnomes; see it here.  

  
  

  Save

  Measurements are: 

  • Cherry Cobbler card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
  • DSP 1" X 4" on the 'binding', 1/2" X 4" strip across
  • Evergreen layer 4" square

  Save

   

  Roxann made this amazing Diamond Fold card.  She used the Splendid Day specialty designer paper from the 2022 Holiday Catalog; seen here. 

  Save

  Her colors include Petal Pink &Soft Sea Foam. It's finished size is 5" square so it does not fit into a standard A2 size envelope.  

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5" X 10".  Score at 2 1/2" & 5".  You'll find the upper center at 2 1/2" and make a mark.  From the top, cut down on both sides to the first score line, removing those upper corners. 
  • Then make a mark from the bottom up on each side at the 7 1/2" mark.  Cut from the bottom center; also at 2 1/2", and cut to the 7 1/2" mark, removing the bottom outer corners. 
  • Soft Sea Foam squares are 3 1/4"
  • Designer paper squares are 3"

  Maybe someday I'll create one of these and share how it's done. It's a neat card!

  I sure have some talented Team Members, don't I?  They always impress me with their creativity, colors and ingenuity.
