NEW Holiday Catalogue! 🎄

 The New Holiday Mini Catalogue Is Here!


Check it out HERE!!

As a Demonstrator I received my copy a little while ago so I have been able to really check it out! It is full of amazing Collections, Bundles, Dies, Designer Series Papers, Ribbons and Embellishments. 

I love how Stampin' Up! coordinates everything. The colors in the Designer Series Papers match the colors of inks, ribbons, Stampin' Blends and even the embellishments! This makes card making and scrapbooking so easy!

Stampin' Up's On-Line Exclusives section also has some Holiday sets. One of the sets I picked up was the Sophisticated Sled Bundle and the Season Of Green And Gold DSP. 

I made this card using both of those products and the adorable Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive Backed Dots.


It's called a Zig Zag Fun Fold or an angled cut card. If you head over to The Paper Pixie she has an amazing tutorial.

I hope you have enjoyed todays card and have some time to check out the New Catalogue!!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

I love the "pop" of red!


Cutting Guide

 Cut Garden Green Card Stock 4 1/4" x 11" score at 5 1/2", this is the card base. I also cut one of the bases at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4". Either works great! Set aside.

 Cut Basic White C/S: 4" x 5 1/4" and another piece @ 2 1/4" x 2 1/4".

 Cut 4 strips of Gold Glimmer or Gold Foil Paper 1/4" x 6".

Cut the Season Of Green And Gold Designer Series Paper to  3 3/4" x 5".

Directions

Stamp your sentiment using Memento Black Ink onto the       2 1/4" x 2 1/4" Basic White C/S piece, turn it so it becomes a diamond shape. Stamp the sentiment more towards the top of the diamond. 

Also stamp the bough from the Sophisticated Sled Stamp Set using Memento Black Ink onto a scrap of Basic White C/S and die cut with the co-ordinating die set. Stamp another bough just were the ribbon is and fussy cut it out.


Attach the sentiment to the center of the DSP in a diamond shape. 


Take the first strip, add a little bit of Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to it and lay it tight up to the Basic White C/S sentiment on the bottom right side and even with the edge of the square. It will go off the DSP and hang over. *See photos.

*TIP-I try to gauge how much of the strip needs glue on it so I don't have a gluey mess!


Next, add another strip tight up against the sentiment piece and butting up to the first strip, again it will go off the edge of the paper. 


Continue with strip 3 and 4. 


 

Turn the DSP over and trim off all the excess strips.


Attach this DSP layer to the Basic White C/S layer then attach it to the card base using Dimensionals. 

Colour the bough and the ribbons using Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends. One of the bows I did in Real Red Blends the other was done in Pecan Pie Blends.


 Using tiny cut up pieces of Dimensionals attach the fussy cut bow over top of the other bow for a 3D look. *See photo.


Attach the bough to the card front using Dimensionals.

Add tiny dots of the Gold Metallic Enamel Effects to all the berries on the bough. Set aside to dry.


Card Inside

 I stamped a Memento Black Ink wreath onto a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White C/S. 

I coloured it with Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends and also used the Gold Enamel Effects on the berries. Leave the card open until it dries. 






Don't forget to decorate your envelopes!


I hope you have enjoyed todays fun fold card and have some time to create one for yourself!
