Christmas Card

Poinsettia Pop-Up Christmas Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s Sneak Peak Week for Karen Burniston’s October 2024 release of new dies and sentiment stamps. These dies will be available for purchase on October 28, 2024 on the KB Riley LLC website.

Today’s card is an A2 size Christmas card that uses the new die sets of Poinsettia and Merry Christmas Lorna Add-Ons along with Season of Cheer stamp set.

CARDBASE: Cut an 8×6-inch rectangle of a double-sided patterned paper and fold in half to form a top-fold 4×6-inch cardbase.

LORNA LABEL: Follow the assembly video for the Lorna Label Pop-Up but cut out a frame by sandwiching the largest decorator label inside the Lorna Label die. Glue the Merry Christmas Add-Ons frame to the Lorna Label frame and decorate with words from add-on set before gluing the Lorna label pop-up into the card.

POINSETTIA: From the Poinsettia die set, cut one of the large leaves die from green and another from red. Cut one red from smaller leaves die. Brush the edges of the leaves with ink slightly darker than the cardstock. Cut the small, dotted center piece once from red and once from yellow. Save the yellow dots to inlay into the red center. Glue the large red piece onto the large green piece and then top with smaller red piece. Make sure to alternate the leaves for full coverage. Adhere red and yellow flower center. Die cut five pine branches and two of the berry stems to add around the large flower.

SENTIMENTS: The Merry Christmas Lorna Add-On set has a holly leaves shadow die that is just the right size to stamp the word “and” onto and glue to the bottom tip of the Lorna Label frame. The “and” and “Happy New Year” are from the Season of Cheer stamp set. The fishtail banner is a die in the Lorna Label Pop-Up set. The holly leaves and berries are in the Merry Christmas Lorna Add-On set.

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 8 of 12 Days of Christmas Ovens

| ullycatdesigns

It’s Day 8 of my 12 Days of Christmas Ovens.

I’m using Lawn Fawn’s Magic Picture Changer with its Oven Add-On dies along with two Lawn Fawn stamp sets – Sprinkled with Joy and A Creature Was Stirring.

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

Cardbase: I used a side-fold A2 (4.25 x 5.5-inches) made of white cardstock.

Oven: I highly recommend googling “Lawn Fawn Magic Picture Changer Oven video” to watch assembly videos for this die set. There are lots of creative ways to assemble it.

Sentiments: Card front “Not a creature was stirring…” inside “(except in the kitchen).” are from the A Creature Was Stirring stamp set. “May your holidays be sprinkled with joy” is from the Sprinkled with Joy set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 envelope.
