| ullycatdesigns

It’s Day 5 of my 12 Days of Christmas Ovens.

I’m using Tim Holtz’s Retro Oven to create this tri-fold shaker card.

Watch video above for a tutorial on how to make the card.

Cardbase: Start with a 9 x 5-inches rectangle of white 65lb. cardstock. Score and fold at 3-inches and 6-inches.

Oven: Cut out two oven base piece from red cardstock covered with clear packing tape. Cut decorative oven pieces for each stove from silver, white and black. (I used cardboard packaging from some Tim Holtz protucts for the white and black pieces.)

Sentiments: Stamp the Paper Discovery “Eat Drink & be merry” inside the last oven window panel. Use other sentiment stamps on other middle panels. (I used “Fill your heart with joy” from Scrapbook and Cards Today’s Jolly Holiday workshop kit.)

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 envelope.

Day 1 of 12 Days of Christmas Ovens

| ullycatdesigns

It’s Day 1 of my 12 Days of Christmas Ovens.

I’m using a stamp and die set by Diamond Press to create this interactive card that lets you pull the tab to open the oven door and reveal a Christmas turkey. (Because this kit doesn’t include any holiday sentiments, I had to use ones by other sources.)

Watch video above for a tutorial on how to make the card.

Cardbase: I used a purchased top-fold A2 size (2.25 x5.5-inch) gray cardbase and punched a half circle opening in the top center for a thumb hole to help with the pull tab. To help with the weight of the front, I added a 4×5.25-inch piece of the same green cardstock I had used for the front matching ups the thumb hole notches.

Oven: I watched an assembly video before I started my card. Then I cut the pieces I needed from green colored cardstock and white 65 lb. white cardstock.

Sentiments: For my original card, the outside “Merry Christmas” sentiment, I cut the words from a commercial Christmas card. For the card in my process video, I used stamps from the Greetery saying “Warmest Winter Wishes.” Inside both cards is “Happy Holidays, a die-cut sentiment by Karen Burniston in black.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 envelope.

Let The Music Play – A Sympathy Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the August 2024 Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge with the theme of LET THE MUSIC PLAY.

While normally I would choose to make an uplifting card for the monthly challenge, I needed a sympathy card for an organist who had recently passed.

The cardbase is made from a 7 1/4 x 8 1/2-inch rectangle of patterned cardstock folded in half to make a top-fold 3 5/8 x 8 1/2-inch slimline card. The inside is covered with strips that are 2 5/8 x 8 1/2-inches.

For the pop-up bar inside, I used a 4 3/4 x 8 1/2 – inch piece of patterned paper that was scored and folded at 1 1/8, 2 1/4, 3 3/8. And 4 1/2 inches.
