On the TENTH Sunday of Christmas...

-

 On the tenth Sunday of Christmas, Sharon shared with me a quick and easy tri-fold gift card holder. It uses a third of a sheet of DSP and just a few small pieces of cardstock, ribbon and embellishments.



Important Measurements

A Walk in the Forest DSP (4" x 12")
Basic White cardstock (2-3/4" x 3-3/4", 1" x 2-3/4")
Soft Sea Foam cardstock (2-3/4" x 3-3/4")
Garden Green ribbon (about 18")


Directions
  1. Score the DSP on the long side at 3", 6", and 9-1/16" (one mark past the 9). Fold and burnish.
  2. Working on the end of the DSP that is smallest, cut a diagonal that begins about an inch from the bottom of the edge and goes to 1" down the first fold. Cut down the fold to remove the diagonal piece.
  3. Apply Tear & Tape to the 1" free edge and the bottom edge of that same piece and fold over, forming a pocket.
  4. Stamp sentiment in Garden Green ink on larger Basic White piece and adhere to the center section.
  5. Adhere Soft Sea Foam piece to the right-most panel.
  6. Fold the panel with the Soft Sea Foam in, then fold result in half.  
  7. Stamp outer sentiment on Basic White layer in Garden Green ink. Punch a ribbon hole in each end using the Very Best Trio punch.
  8. Thread ribbon through holes so that the ribbon goes underneath the sentiment. Tie in a bow. You can add a dimensional to the back to get it to stay in place on the card and keep the sentiment balanced.
  9. Color the berries and stem of the Textural Element embellishment with Real Red Stampin' Write Marker. I colored the stem in Garden Green Stampin' Write Marker, but I think it would look better natural. Add to gift card holder front with Mini Glue Dots, tucking under the sentiment.

Watch me make it:

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...

 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...
