Twelve Sundays of Christmas - Sunday #1

-

When it comes to my 12 Sundays of Christmas projects, I generally like to save the really quick and easy projects for December, since that's when everyone is short on time and needing little gifts or cute packaging. But today's project is something YOU can use as you begin writing down Christmas lists/notes.



Measurements

  • Shining Christmas DSP (two 2-11/16" x 4-7/16") - but you should verify with YOUR comp book
  • Cherry Cobbler cardstock (scrap)
  • Mossy Meadow cardstock (scrap)
Directions
  1. Measure the front of your mini composition book (not including the bound edge) and cut DSP to fit. It's better to err on the larger side than not since trimming is easy and edges that show are not preferable.
  2. Repeat for back cover.
  3. Stamp a sentiment (or leave blank and write the year or your name) on a scrap of Cherry Cobbler using Versamark ink. Add white embossing powder and heat.
  4. Punch sentiment using the smooth oval from the Double Oval punch.
  5. Punch the scalloped oval from the Double Oval punch out of Mossy Meadow cardstock.
  6. Adhere ovals together using a strong adhesive (Tombow glue or Stampin' Seal+), then adhere to cover.
It's easy enough without the video, I think, but go ahead and watch since there are some tips and tricks included.

 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...

 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...
