Christmas Card

Some Merry Tree Holiday Cards

| ullycatdesigns

I had a rare Sunday afternoon to just play in my craft room and I made four of the same card, but each with a different version of the word “merry.” These cards were inspired by a card class that Meghann Andrew taught during the Scrapbook and Cards Today‘s Christmas in July – Jolly Holiday 2024 event.

Leave a comment letting me know which version of “merry” you like best.

I also stamped envelopes for the cards.

All cards and envelopes used stamps, stencils and dies from the event kit. I used the Stampin’ Up – Tranquil Tide and Simon Says Stamp – Surf Blue ink pads, Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend – Green Turquoise Blend Light, red and gold gel pens, gold metallic marker, Nuvo Glitter Paste – Moonstone, Nuvo- Glitter Gloss and some tiny gold gems and puff star stickers from my stash.

Day 10 of 12 Days of Christmas Ovens

| ullycatdesigns

It’s Day 10 of my 12 Days of Christmas Ovens.

I’m using My Favorite Things What’s Cooking kitchen dies for this A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card.

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

Sentiments: While the My Favorite Thing’s What’s Cooking collection comes with a stamp set, none of the sentiments fit the Christmas theme. So I used a “Merry Christmas” from The Greetery and two stamp sentiments from the Scrapbook and Cards Today’s Jolly Holiday kit for the card inside and envelope flap.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 envelope.

Day 7 of 12 Days of Christmas Ovens

| ullycatdesigns

It’s Day 7 of my 12 Days of Christmas Ovens.

I’m using Paper Discovery’s Cosy Kitchen dies and stamp sets for today’s Christmas oven card. Olga Direktorenko is the designer behind Paper Discovery, a Craftstash/Practical Publishing brand.

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

Cardbase: I started with a 5 3/4 x 10 1/2-inch rectangle of white cardstock that was scored and folded at 2 5/8-inches, 3 5/8-inches, 6 7/8-inches and 7 7/8-inches.

Oven: I cut the oven and hutch out in two pieces so I could cut the hutch down a 1/4-inchto allow the card to fit in a 6×9-inch envelope. (See an earlier blog on how I first made this oven bridge card.)

Decorations: The copper kettle and utensils are stamped on orange foil cardstock with StazOn ink using the Paper Discovery Cooking Up A Storm set and fussy cut. The trolley tables are made with a die from Paper Discovery Cosy Kitchen -Baking Fun die set. The gingerbread house, Christmas pudding and bowls are from the Lawn Fawn A Creature Was Stirring stamp set. The wallpapers, borders and picture stamps are from Graphic 45’s T’was The Night Before Christmas paper collection.

Sentiments: I used sentiment stamps from three sets. On the back of the card – “This kitchen is seasoned with love” and “Eat, Drink & be merry” are from Paper Discovery’s Simply Food set. Heat embossed in white behind the oven doors are “Merry Christmas” and “Baked with Love” from the Greetery’s Bake Someone Happy set. Also behind an oven door is “Warm Wishes” from the My Hero Monthly kitchen kit. The “NOEL” banner is a shape die set by Scrapbook.com.

Envelope: The card fits into a 6×9 catalog envelope. The back flap are stamped with an Hero Arts sentiment and images from Lawn Fawn.
