Hello and welcome my friends. I am so pleased that you have popped by today.

I am having so much fun making new projects using the products I have ordered from the July – December Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-bration Brochure.

Today I have another Christmas card to share. This time I have used the Be Jolly Stamp Set.

I went searching for a fun fold card and was inspired by Susan Campfiled’s Crossover Gatefold Card. After a few adjustments to the measurements I chose my colours.

I prepared the Misty Moonlight card base. Then I made the two crossover panels using Basic White, Silver Foil and a piece of Misty Moonlight patterned paper from the Whimsy & Wonder 12″x 12″ Specialty Designer Paper.

Istamped the two Santas, Christmas tree and present sleigh for this card. Then I coloured and fussy cut each of them.

I painted some Craft Stampin’ Ink White Refill onto Santa’s white areas add a little texture and glimmer.

The crossover gatefold card is lots of fun to make – I will definitiely be using this fold more. When the card opens, the second Santa and his gift-filled sleigh are revealed.

The hill image is from the Penguin Place Stamp Set. It wasn’t until I saw this photo that I realised there was a mark and some slight abrasion of the cardstock, so I am definitely redoing the insert.

I may yet add some embellishments to the front of the card – still undecided at this time. The Christmas tree was then stamped on the front of the envelope.

As you can see I have used many Stampin’ Blends colours for this card. Colouring is such a lovely way to pass the time.

Do you enjoy colouring?

Until tomorrow’s post, happy stamping.

Hello and thank you for popping by today.

It has been such a long time since I have used Very Vanilla cardstock. So I decided to use it for today’s card and the Brew Some Fun Stamp Set.

As soon as I saw the stamp set I knew that I wanted to use the image of 4 teaspoons to create some of my own Designer Series Paper. I stamped the image many times,rotating the image, as I worked my way across the cardstock. Early Espresso was the perfect colour for a coffee card.

After I finished stamping the Very Vanilla layer I wrapped and secured a length of Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim around it. The greeting was stamped in Cajun Craze and cut using one of the Hippo & Friends Dies.

The five take away coffee cups were stamped in Cajun Craze and then used Cajun Craze and Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Markers™ to colour some of the stripes. The cup was also stamped on the card insert and envelope. The last step was to use the Dark Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend to colour some Rhinestone Basic Jewels to embellish the card front. I like the way cajun rhinestones pop on the espresso spoons.

I like the simplicity of a card that only uses three colours – Cajun Craze, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla. Imagine what the card would look like with three different colours.

Hello and welcome to today’s project post. Thanks for popping by.

I decided to make another Pinwheel Tower Gift Box. For this one, I chose the Sweet Stockings Suite to decorate it.

This gift box will be filled with treats for my brother’s two Blue Heeler dogs, Rudy and Bosch (my fur ‘nephews’).

I have lots and lots of photos to show you all aspects of this gift box card. At the core of the card is a 1-1/2″x 4-1/4″ ‘tower’. Then, four 3″x 4-1/4″ panels are adhered to each of the four sides of the ‘tower’. I used four different coordinating colours for the pinwheel to match the Designer Series Paper.

When the card lies flat, you can see three different cardstock colours.

The first panel features the very cute “Santa Paws is coming to town”. This was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink onto Basic White cardstock and cut with one of the Tailor Made Tags Dies. I tied some Basic Black and Basic White twine, from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack, through the tag opening.

The second panel features Christmas stockings DSP. The larger panel has a gift card holder.

On the narrower side panel I added the stamped, coloured and die/fussy cut stocking and dog. I used a photo of Bosch to try to colour the stamped image to look like him – and, it’s a pretty close resemblance.

The third panel features the Christmas lights design and a pocket for the gift tag. The tag was cut using one of the Tailor Made Tags Dies and was stamped using with to/from from the Banner Year Stamp Set. I threaded a length of Bumblebee 2020 – 2022 In Colour Ribbon. and secured it by tying a bow with Basic White Baker’s Tine.

The narrow panel has a stocking that was cut from the DSP using the Stocking Dies. It also has three stamped, coloured and die cut candy canes.

The final panel has more stockings and some stamped, coloured and die cut Santa hats.

I am so pleased with the way my gift box adaption of the Pinwheel Tower Card has turned out.

Here are the instructions so you can try it yourself.

If you make one of the gift boxes I hope that share it with me.

Until tomorrow, happy stamping.
