Night Divine Nested Christmas Card

 


When I attended the BackStage Event back in August for Stampin' Up! leaders, I participated in some swaps. However, part of the fun of in-person Stampin' Up! events is reconnecting with friends I've made along the way at previous events.

The August event was no different! I received this beautiful card from Leanne Livingstone (aka, Deadrock Stampers). I met Leanne years ago in Houston, Texas at a leadership event.



I knew back in August I wanted to use this beautiful layout, but...as so often happens for me life kinda got in the way!

As I contemplated Christmas cards, I remembered this layout. I knew I wanted to use the gorgeous Designer Series Paper, O Holy Night and this layout seemed perfect for it. 

I hope you'll watch the video I put together showing how I assembled this card:
 

You can find all the supplies I used to make this card below. Though there are specific items that have already sold out, this idea can be used with so many different papers, embossing folders, etc. Truly, the sky is the limit!

I wanted to also share with photos how I cut all the pieces from one quarter-sheet of Basic White embossed cardstock. You'll end up with enough pieces for more than one card.

Start with the die in the center of the embossed cardstock.

Place the die in the upper left. (Note that I've marked the half-way points)

Continue with the lower left.

Move to the upper right.

Move to the lower right.

And, finally get the small lower and upper centers.


You end up with very little waste!

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...

#SU! Christmas Season Simple Elegance Card

When you participate in a swap with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, you often get some great ideas! Such was the case this month for me. I received in the mail a swap I participated in (hint: I share the card sent to me in my video tutorial!) this month. My good friend often includes me in her team swaps, and I'm so grateful. I loved the layout and immediately thought of the Christmas Season stamp set. This layout goes together so quickly that you could easily put together a stack of Christmas cards in no time. Change up the colors, and have a variety, or keep them all the same. Whatever you decide, I hope you'll try this out. Here are the measurements for the card: Sahara Sand cardstock: 5-1/2"x8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" horizontally  Blackberry Bliss cardstock: 3-7/8"x5-1/8" Basic White cardstock: 3-3/4"x5"; 4"x5-1/4" (inside); scrap for the greeting large enough to be cut from the Picture This Die Vellum cardstock : 1-1/8...

Accordion Z-Fold Card Tutorial

  If you've been following me for awhile now, you know that I love the z-fold card. It's simple and yet a real "wow" for the recipient.  Today's card adds just a little twist, a few more folds. And, it's a great way to show-off the beautiful Designer Series Papers that Stampin' Up! sells too. I put together a video showing all the steps to put together this fun-fold card. And, at the end I share a few more projects that I made using it. I hope you'll check it out.  Measurements: Evening Evergreen cardstock: 5-1/2" x 11", score along the 11" side at 1-3/4", 3-1/2", 5-1/4" & 7"; 3" x 6", score along the 6" side at 3" Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper: 2 pieces cut at 1-1/2" x 5-1/4" and 2 pieces cut at 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" Basic White cardstock: 3-3/4" x 5-1/4" and one piece 3" x 3"  Be sure to use the November host code: PA43R2KF (good through 11/30/2022) ...
