3rd Sunday of Christmas

-

 On the 3rd Sunday of Christmas, my demo shared with me...a doorhanger to delight my friends, coworkers and neighbors! Full directions, as well as an instructional video follow.



Template


Measurements (complete list of supplies at end of post)
  • Thick Basic White cardstock (4-1/4" x 11")
  • Designer Series Paper (3" x 3-3/8", 3" x 4")
  • Real Red cardstock (scrap)
  • Basic White cardstock (scrap)
  • Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon (18-20")
Directions
  1. With long side along trimmer bottom, score at 7" and 7-5/8".
  2. Rotate 90 degrees and score at 5/8". Repeat on other short edge.
  3. Mark 3-5/8" in from the long end (where the circle is in the diagram), just between the edge and the 5/8" score mark. Do this on both sides. 
  4. Using scissors or paper trimmer, remove the rectangles as shown in the diagram. 
  5. Burnish all score lines.
  6. Cut the tabs in the middle, mitering them as shown.
  7. Apply Tear & Tape to the rectangles and square tabs at the opposite end from where the circle will be cut (left end on diagram). Don't remove backing yet.
  8. Flip cardstock over and apply the smaller piece of DSP to the square (opposite from the end that will have the circle cutout).
  9. Flip the cardstock back over and apply the smaller piece of DSP to the end where the circle will be cut out.
  10. Punch (or die cut) circle.
  11. Remove adhesive backing from Tear and Tape and form box, with small tabs going on the outside of the middle rectangular pieces and the rectangular pieces at the left end (of diagram) on the outside of those. See the video, it's not nearly as difficult or confusing as this sounds.
  12. Stamp Sentiment in Evening Evergreen onto Basic White scrap.
  13. Using Tasteful Label dies, die cut the sentiment and the larger shape from the Real Red cardstock.
  14. Adhere Real Red layer to front of door hanger.
  15. Tie ribbon around the card so that the bow is on the very edge of the Real Red shape.
  16. Affix sentiment on top of Real Red layer using dimensionals.
  17. Cut slit from the outside edge of the hanger up to the circle to make this adaptable to any kind/size of door handle.

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

Changing Leaves...not quite yet!

 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer. Lay the four lengths of Linen Thread next to each other to cover the area where the DSP meets the Basic White in the middle of the card. Adhere on back side with tape or desired...
