Good morning! This week, I’m going to focus on some of the “fancier” Christmas cards you might make for the special people on your Christmas Card list. This is still an easy card to make, but the extra details make it look like you spent a long time making it. It’ll be our little secret how easy it really was!
First, let’s start with the Center-Step fold for the card base. I followed a template that Connie Babbert created. Just cut the 2 vertical lines. Then use the new Simply Scored Tool to score the horizontal lines. The only trick is creasing the folds really well so the card sits up correctly. This style of card also qualifies for the Dolce Stamps DSAC06 challenge.
Next, I made a 3-D Christmas Tree using the Pennant Parade stamp set and the Petite Pennants punch. Stamp the Tree image 3 times and punch each image out with the scallop pennant portion of the Petite Pennants punch. Fold each tree in half and attach the trees back-to-back with the Multi-purpose liquid glue. (The liquid glues allows you time to get the scallops perfectly aligned with each other.)
The rest of the card is just decorated with strips of the Frostwood Lodge DSP, some Quilted Satin Ribbon, and a Basic Rhinestone Jewel. I added a greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes and punched it out with the Modern Label Punch. Oh, and I did not use any Stampin’ Dimensionals on this card. The fancy fold and 3-D tree added enough depth to this card. And this way, you can still mail the card since the tree folds flat!
Thanks for stopping by and please let me know if you have any questions.

TGIF! Yesterday, I showed you a Birthday card using the Pennant Parade stamp set and Petite Pennants Builder punch. Today, I’m showing you a Christmas card using those same supplies.
This is one of the cards we did at my Christmas Card Buffet last weekend. It uses a couple of products from the new Holiday Mini Catalog. First, I love plaid, and this new Frostwood Lodge DSP is gorgeous. I had to use some for the bottom of my card. Second, I’ve always loved the Red Glimmer paper. But now, I think I like the new Silver Glimmer paper even more. It’s so sparkly. I know my picture doesn’t do it justice.
BTW – my tiny “Merry Christmas” greeting comes from the Easy Events stamp set in the Idea Book and Catalog.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great weekend!

Good morning! Here’s a fun card using the Pennant Parade stamp set and Pennant Builder Punch. I made this card to swap after the new catalog came out. So along with the new stamps and punch, I wanted to use the new in-color, Lucky Limeade.
I think this made a bright, fun, gender-neutral birthday card. Perfect for a child’s birthday party. I started with a Daffodil Delight card base. And added a Whisper White layer stamped with the cake image from Bring On The Cake. Next, I punched some Poppy Parade with the scallop pennant shape. Then, I stamped the pennant images in Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeade, and Pacific Point. I finished by added the greeting and attaching the smaller pennants with Dimensionals.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by!

Good morning! A couple weeks ago, I created this scrapbook page featuring my friend Jeanne’s new baby girl. Today, I’m showing you the card I made for her. I saw this Baby Onsie Card idea a long time ago, and pulled it out to make my card
It was really easier than I thought it would be. So don’t hesitate to try making your own. Just follow Lauren’s directions. I decorated my Onsie with Glimmer Brads and Rhinestones. A girl can never be too young for some Bling, right?! Oh, I cut the prongs off my Glimmer Brads (since I didn’t want them going through my card) and attached them with glue dots .
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by!.

Good morning! Today’s card is another one I made to swap at the Stampin’ Up! Convention. I love this new stamp set and coordinating punch. They are so versatile. In fact, I received several swap cards using this same combination. None of the cards look alike. And they feature a variety of occasions – from Baby Cards to Birthday Cards to Christmas Cards.
Since I made so many of this card, I kept the design pretty simple. But I still think it has a big impact with the welcoming banner.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by!.
