Fang-Tastic Thank you Card

| ullycatdesigns

I needed a cute Halloween themed thank you card, so I took Riley and Company’s Spooky Hollow Fang-tastic stamp set and Karen Burniston’s Katherine Label Pop-Up to create this whimsical card.

Cardbase and Images: I used purchased top-fold A2 cardbase and matching envelope. The images were stamped onto two pieces of 4×5.25-inch white cardstock. I colored them with watercolor pencils and a water brush.

CARD BACK

Sentiments: All the stamped sentiments come from the Fang-tastic set. The die cut label and pop-up mechanism are from the Katherine Label Pop-Up set. The candy corn “fangs” are cut from decorative paper.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope with the back flap covered with the same decorative paper that the two candy corn “fangs’ were cut from.

Good Bye 2024-Hello 2025!

| ullycatdesigns

It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for December 2024 using the theme of “Happy New Year.” For this challenge I chose to make a top-fold A2 size card with pop-up fireworks and the sentiment “Happy New Year” on a wobble spring.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

(Most of the instruction on how to make this card is in the video, but I’ve listed some measurements and sets used below.)

Card Back

Cardbase: Take an 11×4.25-inch rectangle and fold in half to create an A2 size top-fold card. Cover all four panels with decorative paper.

Pop-Up Fireworks: (I’ve used the double Katherine Label Pop-Up mechanism in these other cards – World Card Making Day Card, Flying By Pop-up Birthday Card, Interactive Money Holder Halloween Cards and Do What Brings You Joy.)

Sentiments: “Good Bye 2024” was made using four different sentiment die sets –Good Luck, Happy Birthday, Happy Easter and Mini Alphabet and Numbers. (See video for the word surgery used to create Good Bye.) “Happy New Year” has separate dies to cut out each word and a shadow die. I used four different foil and glitter cardstocks.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope. To decorate, cover the back flap with matching card papers and stamp with the “Made with Love” from the Special Delivery stamp set. (I wasn’t paying attention and stamped the sentiment with the “Love” upside-down on my envelope.)
