I had some of lovely strips of the Stampin’ UP! Pretty Prints leftover from another project so I used them on this card.
It as easy to use 1″ x 3/4″ strips to create a 3-3/4″ x 5″ panel to fit on a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White that sits on an A2 size card. I find myself using preferring to border DSP and white was perfect with the darker colors. I added a layer of vellum to add something to the card other than just the sentiment which really is stunning with the Sending Dies, don’t you think?
I pulled the same strip motif inside the bottom of the card but putting 1/2″ x 1″ pieces together across the bottom. Now, the best way to do that would have been to make the outside panel 4-1/4″ x 5″ and then cut off the strip on the 4″ side to make it 3-3/4″ x 5′. But if you can do it with little scraps and put a border strip on top to finish it off nicely:)
Thanks for buzzing by, friends…
Can you believe it is December 9 already??????

Here is a cute little trick I saw online to make a dancing gnome using the Stampin’ UP! Kindest Gnome Bundle:)
I used the Storybook Gnome Designer Series Paper to die cut the fun little gnome home on the inside of the one above and used the Stampin’ UP! Rings of Love Designer Series Paper from the last Sale-a-bration on the front. I used the Stampin’ UP! Ringed with Love stamp set to stamp the mushrooms on the inside of the one below. I used sponge daubers to add a bit of poppy to the mushroom caps.
Thanks to Kate Morgan and Susan Campfield for the inspiration:)
Here is a quick look how to make the swinging legs on the gnome.
Since the legs have are not attached to the card, they swing back and forth!
Measurements: Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ on the 11″ side, Evening Evergreen and inside White panels: 4″ x 5-1/4″, DSP cut as seen in video: 4″ x 4″, Basic White strip for sentiment: 7/8″ x 6-1/2″
The Gnome Dies are carrying over with a new sweet stamp set but don’t forget to grab the Stampin’ UP! Kindest Gnome Bundle and the Storybook Gnome Designer Series Paper on the Last Chance Sale since it will be leaving !!!
Here is a quick little gift you can hand out to some of the people you want to treat over the Christmas holiday. I used the Stampin’ UP! Sweet Candy Cane Bundle to decorate this simple pocket fold. I also suggest sliding in a real candy cane to stir the hot cocoa, too!
You can watch a video that I made a while back to see how to make one!
How cute is this card using the Stampin’ UP! Happier than Happy Bundle?!?!
I love how Diane used strips of the pretty Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper to create a soft but dramatic background for the adorable bear. I can’t wait for my bundle to arrive this week! Here are a few of the catalog samples….
Here is a pretty card using the luxurious Stampin’ UP! Snowflake Vellum and the Stampin’ UP! Twinkling Lights Dies.
I took a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock and cut it into two pieces with one of the Stampin’ UP! Basic Borders Dies so I could use one on the outside and the inside. I put the Snowflake Vellum on the other part of the outside and the inside.
Now, one might say, “why would Cindy put pearls on the inside of the card?” Well, the answer is…Cindy had a stray ink spot under the blessings that needed covered up…and there had to be three, you know!
It is hard to see in the photo but the silver Metallic Pearls (on Clearance Rack) look so, so pretty!!! Looking at the photo now, I think I could have threaded some silver thread or cording through the circles of garland on the tree! That would have been sweet:)
