I am loving this Vertical slider fun fold design!  I've made two so far and I can easily see me making more.  

It basically a gatefold card but the additional layer holds it closed. 

I chose quite unique colors for the Scottie dog.  Think of it as a stuffed animal; ha!  The colors include Pool Party, Petal Pink and Pumpkin Pie.  I wanted to use the Metallic & Shimmer 6 X 6" DSP; I think it's perfect for a celebratory card with the shimmer & dots.  

The Scottie Dog punch is 30% off starting December 1st; instead of $19, it will be $13.30!  

For the inside I used the ribbon image from the Christmas Scottie stamp set and the greeting is from Charming Sentiments.  

The main element comes off when you open the card; plus it slides up and down too.   It consists of three 2 1/4" circles.  2 are scored in half and adhered to the back of the main element.  Then the last one is adhered over both folded circles.  

What do you think?  Do the colors work for you?  

Measurements:

• Petal Party card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" from each end
• White 2 5/8" square
• Pumpkin 2 3/4" square
• Pool Party 2 7/8" square 
• DSP 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"

In the video below I share another version of this Vertical Slider card; plus another special fold and easy treat bags.

Leaves of Holly card with a gift card option & video

We made this pretty Christmas card at my November Card Clubs.  It features the Leaves of Holly bundle seen here. 

I chose these colors - Evening Evergreen, Real Red, White & Soft Succulent.  I sure love the dies in this set; the greeting label with the attached holly leaves is special. 

*Unfortunately the Holly Berry dies are unavailable right now; they expect they'll be back in stock around December 19th.  

I think this is a classic Christmas bundle you'd find yourself using often.  It's retiring on December 1st and while supplies last. 

I gave my gals a choice of 'berry' options.  On the left card below we added two die-cuts from the bundle.  On the right card we added a Textural Element that is colored with Blends markers.  It was almost a tie on which option they chose.  

I stamped the two more open leave images 2-3 times each in the two green colors and added the greeting element over them.  You can see how in the video below.  It's actually an easy card to make. 

If you want to add an easy gift card option to any card simply add a strip of DSP across the bottom of the inside. Punch the center with any circle or decorative punch and aAttach it with glue on the outer and lower edges only.

'Ornament' Christmas cards for quick & easy card making!

We're making ornament cards on tonight's Stamp with Me Live.  It's a quick & easy idea for your Christmas cards!

The designer paper is the Santa Express seen here.  It's filled with lots of great patterns; not just Santas & trains.  

Join me here Live at 7:30 pm CT.  The video will be on my YouTube channel by Tuesday, November 29th too. 

I chose an 'easy' card so those who feel rushed in getting their Christmas cards made. Plus these cards use your DSP and an embossing folder too; both make a card special. 

 

I added a Wonderful Snowflake to the designer paper circle for a quick, beautiful iridescent element.  These snowflakes will be well discounted on Thursday with the Last Chance List seen here: Download 2022 Holiday Catalog Last Chance

 

The greeting is from the Joyful Flurry stamp set. 

 

Join me here when I share some tips on making these fun and easy cards tonight. 

 

Gather these supplies:

• Card bases 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
• White or neutral background layer 3 3/4" X 5", will be textured
• Another layer 4" X 5 1/4"
• 'ornament' circles cut from DSP - mine are almost 3" around
• Silver or gold paper (or other) for the top of the ornament
• Twine or thin ribbon

Other items: Greeting stamps, ink, embossing folder, snowflakes

 

I made one card into an easy fun fold by folding the front of the card base back on itself. For this one I chose to add greetings from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set. 

The card base is Mint Macaron with White & Poppy Parade accents.
