Why You Should Start Making Christmas Cards in July: Window Wishes Creat...

Hello! Here is my Christmas in July preview! I do not have a product list for today's video

because the Window Wishes Bundle and Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper

are not being released until July 1, 2022!

I do have information available for my Paper Share if you are interested. There are

three days left to sign up. The card in this video is one of the cards I will be making as

part of the 2022 Holiday Paper Share class. Measurements will be provided in a PDF

as part of that class.

If you are new to handmade cards or you want to get a jump on your holiday cardmaking (which is very smart and what I recommend) the Window Wishes Bundle from Stampin' Up! is timeless and perfect for all seasons. This will also work well in combination with many other stamp sets and bundles. If you like versatility, you will LOVE Window Wishes!

Get ahead of the season and do yourself the favor of not being stressed when its closer to Christmas or giving up on sending handmade cards. This layout is easy and can be duplicated! Christmas is a busy time. Get ready now and you'll start doing this every year!

The best part, or I should say the most rewarding part of giving handmade cards this

holiday season is hearing from the recipients and how much they enjoy you what you

took time to create. It's not about the biggest, flashiest gift. Cards from the heart really

make a difference.

Paper Pumpkin June 2022 Alternate Card and Tag Ideas: Pick of the Crop

If you are interested in the card measurements and written instructions for these alternate cards I have free project sheet download you can get here: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/VC7iqEB/junepaperpumpkinalternate

There is a product list below.

The alternate cards and tags here are all about the stamp set. I do incorporate some die cuts but I went with a different color palette (slightly).

The featured color in the kit is Calypso Coral but I wanted a brighter, more traditional red with Poppy Parade. By creating a simple background pattern you create your own designer paper and create coordinating products or a matching gift tag and card to go with that adorable mini shopping bag.

There are June kit refills available as well as an Add-On of those adorable mini shopping bags or mini tote whatever you prefer to call it! These items can be purchased by Paper Pumpkin subscribers.

Not a subscriber? You can sign up anytime! Sign up for the July kit by 7/10/2022

I went blueberry picking hours before making these alternates. 
It definitely influenced my creative ideas!

Loving that Designer Paper? It's Gingham Cottage DSP
and will be available 7/1/2022

Thank you for stopping by the blog! Happy crafting! 

 

How to Make a Set of Thank You Cards with Wonderful World from Stampin' ...

Sale-a-Bration is starting soon! I wanted to create a set of thank you cards featuring one of the new Sale-a-Bration products called Wonderful World. Wonderful World is a stamp set AND designer series paper pack and while I cannot open and show you inside of the brochure until July 1st, I can show what I purchase and make prior to the launch.

Set of 6 Thank You Cards Using Wonderful World Stamp Set & DSP

For the "Thank You" sentiment I used the Shaded Summer Stamp Set.

PRODUCTS:

• Wonderful World Stamp Set and Designer Series Paper
• Shaded Summer Stamp Set (for the Thank You sentiment)
• Very Vanilla Note Cards and Envelopes
• Rich Razzleberry Ink & Cardstock
• Flirty Flamingo Ink & Cardstock
• Layering Circle Dies
• Basic White Cardstock
• Mossy Meadow Stampin' Write Marker
• Brushed Brass Butterflies
• Frayed Ribbon

CARD MEASUREMENTS:

• 3-1/2 x 5 Note Card Size (precut and scored in Very Vanilla Note Cards and Envelopes)
• DSP layer: 3-1/4 x 4-3/4"
• DSP strip: 1/2 x 4-3/4"
• Layering Circle Plain - Basic White - 2-1/4"
• Layering Circle Scalloped - Rich Razzleberry or Flirty Flamingo - 2-5/8"
• Frayed Ribbon Strip 4-3/4"

I hope you enjoyed today's card set! I am more about florals than patterns but if you prefer patterns simply reverse the paper. Lots of options! Easy to make and produce multiples.

Father's Day Fun Fold Card Idea with a WOW! Make This Camouflage Pattern...

I have the ultimate outdoorsman card for you just in time for Father's Day! The full tutorial is available on my YouTube Channel and I have a free PDF Tutorial Project Sheet if you are interested here: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/VnYNCTc/camouflagegatefoldcard

This card might look complicated but its actually not difficult to make. There are definitely layers! If you are new to fun folds this is a good one to try!

Creating the camouflage pattern is even easier! Using this one stamp (pictured above) from the Wildlife Wonder Stamp Set and a color combination of Sahara Sand, Soft Suede, Old Olive, Garden Green and Evening Evergreen creates this rugged and realistic camouflage background! So much fun!

The Grassy Grove Bundle plays a big role in the look of this card but I love how the largest die (a tree scene) trimmed in half looks on the card front! I achieved the look by stamping a tree pattern in Garden Green on the trees and colors the tree trunks and branches with Stampin' Blend Soft Suede Light. I stamped the deer in Sahara Sand ink. 

I think the Pumpkin Pie card base is the perfect pop of color in contrast to all of the neutral tones. Your outdoorsman will love it! 

For the full list of measurements you can refer to the video or click here for the project sheet. https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/VnYNCTc/camouflagegatefoldcard

Did you know the Mini Catalog January to June 2022 is retiring! Shop the Last Chance items between the 1st and the 30th. Great deals up to 50% off while supplies last! 

You can also shop using my Host Code! If you click any product link below the code will automatically be added to your cart.

When you spend $50.00 or more (before tax) in the month of June receive a FREE EMBELLISHMENT from me! And a handmade card! Always!

Thank you for spending time with me on the blog today and happy crafting!
