Time of Giving for your Holiday projects with video tutorial.


On last Tuesday's FB Live I focused on the Time of Giving bundle in the current 2021 Holiday Catalog.  This bundle is for many occasions and more fun and versatile than I thought! 

I'll start with the autumn card featuring the baby wipe technique.

Isn't it pretty?!  My colors are Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie & Old Olive. Those are the ink refills I used on my baby wipe. If you haven't done the baby wipe technique please watch the video below or click here.  It's so simple and all you need is a folded baby wipe and a few colors of ink refills.  

The little die-cut leaves on the greeting are also in this bundle.  The Gold Fine Art ribbon is from the annual catalog as well as the white die-cut for the greeting.  It's in the Stitched So Sweetly set.


  All of these images & dies are from this Tidings of Giving bundle seen here. 

Next is a beautiful snowflake card that's mostly white but the pop of colors shows off this pretty die wonderfully!  It creates a 'window' effect.  I die-cut three dies in a row on my White CS and for the soft colors under it I used my blending brushes with Just Jade & Bermuda Bay ink.

For this next card I chose the Santa & sleigh die.  As you can see I left a wide border on this one so I could stamp the greeting directly on it.  This pretty background paper is from the Beauty of the Earth DSP in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog seen here. 

And here is a card using the ornament die.  Again I cut three in a row, lowering the die each time.  Another bit of the Beauty of the Earth designer paper on the side and a greeting added with the Double Oval Punch.  Glittered white ribbon finishes it off. 

And below is the video where you can see how I achieved these techniques.  I hope you watch!  *Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel here too!

  • Gift card pop-up card; a fun fold that’s easy! Featuring Pretty Prints, Art Gallery & Radiating Stitches dies


    I shared two neat fun fold cards in this week's Live video.  Pretty Prints DSP seen here was featured in both. 

    This designer paper is an easy favorite; the soft, botanical prints and 4 rich colors are gorgeous!

    Here's the card I shared; it's a pop up gift card holder:

    The front greeting is from the Art Gallery dies seen here.  They're discounted now; they were $34 and are now just $13.60. These words are cut from Evening Evergreen card stock and adhered to a white die-cut from the Radiating Stitches dies.  These are on the Online Exclusives products but are currently unavailable. They will be back in May. 

    My colors include Evening Evergreen (so sad it's retiring!) and Soft Sea Foam.  

    Measurements:

    • Card Base 4 ¼” X 11” score at 2 ¼” & 7 ¾”
    • White front is 2 5/8” X 4”, inside gift card pop up is 3 ½” X 7” score at ½” & 5”
    • Designer Paper – upper is 4" X 3", lower is 4" X 2"


    I used the wonderful Kind & Sincere stamp set for this card; it's discounted to $15.60 and on the Last Chance list. I love the mixed font and how many phrases you can make with the greeting images. See it here. 

    This next photo shows you how the gift card layer works.  The 1/2" flap is adhered to the upper front of the card.  The lower fold is tucked in the lower fold of the card base.  The ribbon around it secures it closed; there isn't any adhesive used on the lower flap.

  • Paper Scraps & Window dies; a perfect match up for incredible card ideas!


    I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend.  We spent it with most of my kids – played games, made meals and watched a few shows.  It was nice & relaxing.

    Here's another card I made with leftover scraps of card stock.  I shared this technique on my weekly Live video. See it here for tips.  

    It features lots of retiring product too; I checked yesterday and they're all still available!  

    I shared two versions; the blues/greens and the rainbow. Which do you prefer?  

    On this colorful version I used mostly retiring colors of Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody, Polished Pink as well as Coastal Cabana and the returning Berry Burst.  

    Here are all three of my window cards made with leftover cardstock strips.  I love using up my stash of scraps!  

    The card on the lower left features the retiring Picture This dies seen here; they're on sale too! 

    Here's the video I shared how to make the window card with the Picture This dies.  Plus two other cool projects using up card stock strips! Click on the photo below.  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!
