Today’s project is another of my envelope fun fold card using the Sweet Stockings products.
Stamps
The Sweet Stockings Suite of products are simply adorable! I used the Sweet Little Stockings Bundle for today’s project. All of the stamps used are from the stamp set. And the adorable kitty head sitting on the sentiment is the perfect addition. I am an animal lover. Especially cats and dogs. We only have cats right now, but any of the babies in this set are adorable. (Except maybe the hamster!)
The kitty head is stamped using Basic Gray and then colored with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. There are matching dies for most of the items in the stamp set. I used just the kitty head to die cut. The adorable little girl is added so her paws are hanging over a bit.
Paper
The DSP sheet of tangled Christmas lights is from the Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper. As pretty and cute as all of the sheets in the paper pack are, this piece is my favorite. I just have to Smile when I see it. And the best part is that even though the paper is a starring role in the card, it only uses a 3 1/2 X 3 1/2 square of it. You can get nine of these from one piece of 12 X 12 paper!
Here is a view of the inside of the card. There is a little surprise n there.
The sentiment is from the Sweet Little Stockings set and the cute little kitty is from another piece in the DSP pack. There are both cats and dogs in these little stockings on one of the sheets. I used my Paper Snips to cut this one out. The trick to this little cutting is to leave a bit of white around the edges. But the most important part of fussy cutting is to turn your paper and not the scissors. Plus it helps to have sharp scissors!

The project for today is a new version of a Multi-Fun Fold I did a few weeks ago. This version is a beautiful, flowery Birthday card.
Stamps and Paper
The beautiful DSP is all from the Hand Penned Designer Series Paper. You can see from the patterns I used just on this view how well the designs coordinate. These patterns make me Smile!
The Happy Birthday, as well as the inside sentiment are from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. This set has awesome greetings and lovely fonts which make them extra nice. I also used the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set to stamp a sweet flower on the inside.
Fun Fold and Gift Card
This version of this Multi Fold card has a much simpler method for staying closed. Or rather, almost closed. The folds are a bit stiff and do not close totally. Here is also a view of the Open card.
I have all of the directions posted in the original Blog Post that I did with this fold. The only difference are the closure and the gift pocket. You can click HERE for those original instructions.
Additions to original directions
Did you notice the gift card? I found from other Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators, so I am not sure who to give the credit to for the great find, that you can make any card a Gift Card Holder. That is by simply seating your layer completely into the Tailored Tag Punch, center it on each side, and punch. Then when you adhere that layer, do not add any adhesive between the punch and the bottom of the piece. Only go around the edges from the punched section down. The gift card will fit perfectly.
And do not discard the Tailored Tag that you punched for the Gift Card. Yes, that is what the sentiment is stamped on for the front of the card. I saved a little piece of paper from the trash! LOL!
For the closure on this card, the sentiment is added to the green stripe layer. It is attached with a vertical string of Stampin’ Dimenionals. The bit of pressure the dimensionals give keeps the front flap from opening. This is a much easier closure than the original card and just as cute!

Sending Love Project
Today’s card is a fun card with a Fun Fold that can be made and decorated quickly. This would be a good card for making multiples.
I got carried away with my inside stamping and didn’t realize I had stamped on the bottom right of the inside layer. Don’t stamp there!!! Here is a view of the inside.
I had intended to only stamp on the inside left. DUH!!!! That way the trees are not seen when the card is closed.
Stamps
The stamps used are all from the Peaceful Deer stamp set. I love this set because it is great for a variety of projects. And that doesn’t even include the deer with the coordinating punch! The sentiments are from the stamp set as are the little trees.
Paper and Embellishments
Forgive the DSP, it is the last SAB paper Peaceful Prints. Any of the current Christmas paper would work perfectly, even with the other colors I chose. The card base is Soft Sea Foam and is a great pair to Garden Green, which is what the DSP main color is.
The sentiment is punched using the Label Me Fancy Punch and then layered using the Everyday Label Punch. I love punches!! Additionally, I added the gorgeous Wonderful Snowflake as the star of the show. To finish off the snowflake and sentiment, there are 3 of the Holiday Rhinestones added.
Directions
This card is a case of a Paper Pixie card.
The card base of Soft Sea Foam is cut 5 1/2 X 6 1/2 and scored at 2 1/4 on the 6 1/2 side.
Cut an extra piece of Soft Sea Foam and cut 3 1/4 wide X 3 1/2 tall. Score at 1/2 on the 3 1/4 length.
Fold and burnish the card base. Adhere the 1/2 section of the extra Soft Sea Foam to the inside on the right edge. The now flap will fold over the front and layer over top of the left side flap.
Cut a Basic White layer to 5 1/4 X 4, adhere to inside. This covers where the flap is adhered.
The DSP is 2 X 5 1/4 for the left side flap and 2 1/2 X 3 1/4 for the right side flap.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s November Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects feature pretty packages and beautiful tags to inspire your holiday gift-giving. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Project
I chose for today’s project to share a simple gift that is easy and fun to make. It is a little box which holds gift tags. This fell in line perfectly with the title of the Blog Hop. My box holds 10 tags, however that may very depending on your embellishments.
And here is the side view as well as the tags:
Paper and Ribbon
All of the DSP used is from the Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper. You can see from the tags photo that I used almost all of the different patterns of this gorgeous paper. The base of the box is Thick Basic White cardstock. The tags are all regular Basic White cardstock with the DSP cut and glued to the cardstock prior to punching with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. This gives them quite a bit more strength.
I used the Blushing Bride Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon for the handle and decorative bow. The ribbon is cut to 7″ and placed from outside to inside of the tag hole. I used two glue dots , one above the other, to adhere the ribbon to the inside of the box. This is done on both the front and the back. The bow I tied for the front is added to the front of the box with a couple of glue dots as well.
The tag ribbon is the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon. I added the ribbon with a bookmarker type tie. This way the recipient can easily remove it and add to a bag, or leave as is and add to a package.
Stamps, Dies, Punches, Etc.
The sentiments you see on all of the tags, as well as the front of the box, are all from the Peaceful Deer stamp set. They were the perfect size to fit where needed. Some of them are angled a bit, but that adds to the look. Also I added a To / From to the back of each tag. Since the back side of the tag is Basic White, It was a no brainer. That stamp came from the Bright Baubles stamp set.
In addition to the Delightful Tag Topper Punch, I also used the Double Oval Punch. The ovals were used together on the front of the box to add some depth for the sweet sentiment. On the tags the smaller one was used and adhered flat to the tag as to not create bulk.
There was one die used on the tags. It is from the Stitched Snowflakes Dies and matched perfectly the snowflakes on the pink piece of the DSP. And of course there has to be bling! I used both the Basic Rhinestone Jewels and the Holiday Rhinestones on the tags and the box sentiment.

The card for today is to honor a dear friend’s sweet kitty. Any sympathy card is difficult to make. I hope I was able to honor the sweet girl with a simple card.
Stamps
The precious kitty is from the Pampered Pets stamp set. I stamped her with Basic Gray ink and then colored with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. The kitty is fussy cut, which was quite easy as it has pretty simple lines.
The sentiment is from the set as well. Actually the sentiment also says “Sorry For Your Loss” . I wanted a bit smaller wording and also to focus on the “Heart” part of the wording. To achieve this, I inked the part of the sentiment I wanted by using the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. This is the only marker that can be purchased individually. And it is a must have for me! Included in the stamp set are these adorable little hearts. I added them as a compliment for the sentiment.
Paper
This pretty paper is from the You’re A Peach stamp set. It creates a soft background for the kitty to sit on. The DSP piece is 4 X 3 and cut at an angle. I placed one edge on the trimmer track and the other on the 3/4″ mark. The same was done for both top and bottom.
The base card is Thick Basic White. For a bit of dimension, I added the kitty layer to a piece of Basic White that is cut 4 X 5 1/4. This is then added to the base card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
