| ullycatdesigns

It’s Day 4 of my 12 Days of Christmas Ovens.

I’m using a card kit from Papercraft Essentials Magazine, issue 197, April 2021.

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

Cardbase: I cut a cardbase using a folded over piece of 8.5×11-inch white 65 lb. cardstock and a 4.5-inch circle die.

Sentiments: Sentiments came from the kit and the arched banner “Season’s Greetings” is an Anna Griffin sticker that I separated into two banners.

Envelope: The envelope is a 6-inch square envelope from my stash.

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.

A Holly Jolly Christmas

| ullycatdesigns

I recently attended a virtual cardmaking workshop organized by Scrapbook and Cards Today. It was a delightful day of making Christmas cards using a kit which included 45 cutting dies, 6×8 set of stamps, cardstock, specialty papers and a packet of sequins. The instructors included: Cathy Zielske, Meghann Andrew, Carissa Wiley and a special appearance by Jennifer McGuire who all designed cards using the kit. Below are my nine cards that I made during the day.

Gift Card Box with Three Mini Pop-Up Cards

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #224 whose parameters included mini cards, “a pretty day” colors, scent(s)/nose(s) and packaging.

I chose to make a gift card box with three mini pop-up cards to celebrate Christmas. Karen Burniston Dies were used to create the box and pop-up mechanisms.

Cardbases: Mini cards are 2 x 7-inch rectangles of double-sided papers folded in half and trimmed to fit inside the box.

Box:  Using Karen Burniston’s Candy Hearts Box die set, cut one of the box die. Assemble as shown in the video at the bottom of the linked page. Glue journaling cards to decorate the box.

Three Ships Pop-Up Christmas Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s Christmas in July and I have a card depicting an old English Christmas carol – “I Saw Three Ships.” It uses two different pop-up ships made with Karen Burniston dies including Boat Pop-Up, Pirate Ship Add-Ons, Cake Pop-Up, Tiny Trees Pop-Up, Street Lantern Pop-Up and Farm Edges.

Cardbase: The cardbase is an A9 side fold (5 1/2 x 8 1/2-inch) with two floor flaps. I took an 8 1/2 x 11-inch sheet of 65 lb. cardstock and folded it in half. The floor flaps are 2 5/8 x 4 1/4-inch that are scored and folded at 1/4-inch to form a tab for 4-inch-long flaps.

Cake Pop-Up Ship: This ship was designed by John Watterson using four Karen Burniston dies that were released before June 2024. It utilizes a vertical fold and is placed in the center of the card.

John Watterson Ship Instructions FacebookDownload

Boat Pop-Up Ships: The two smaller ships were designed by Karen Burniston and in this card utilize the horizontal folds of the floor flaps. They use only two die sets. Watch Karen’s assembly video located at the bottom of the Boat Pop-Up’s page.

Card Front: The copyright free sheet music was computer generated and the edges distressed. The white whale and silver anchor borders are from the Set Sail Borders. I added white and red enamel drops along with the “Happy Christmas” sentiment made using the Small Script -Halloween and Small Script – Christmas die sets.

Inside: The water is created with a paper from the graphic45 Sun Kissed collection. I used the sun die in the Beach Elements set and several sizes of the Crosshatch Circles for the labels for personal messages.

Card Back: The music decorating the card back are the first two bars of the carol. It is made with dies from the Music Charms set.

Envelope: The card fits into a 6×9-inch catalog envelope. I decorated the back flap with die-cut musical notes.
