Stampin’ Up! is doing an early release with one of the Bundles from the upcoming January – June Mini Catalog. It will be available for you to order beginning tomorrow. In addition to the stamp and die which will be in the Mini Catalog, there are additional products that are only available during this early release. It is a Christmas stamp set, which pairs with the dies, and some beautiful 6X6 Designer Series Paper. I was able to preorder it as a demonstrtor. That is one of our awesome perks! So I have a birthday card using the bundle and the Designer Series Paper.
The Pictures of the products are shown below. The Quite Curvy Bundle will be in the upcoming Mini Catalog. As I said above, the Curvy Christmas and the Classic Christmas DSP will only be available during this Sneak Peek time of November and December.
For today’s project I used two sheets of the Classic Christmas DSP. The colors are gorgeous! I cut the top piece using one of the curvy dies in the bundle.
The sentiment is from the Quite Curvy stamp set. It is shaped a little curvy to go along with the curve of the die cut. I stamped the sentiment using Just Jade Ink to pair with the Just Jade base card.
The leaves are from the Love Of Leaves Bundle. I stamped the images tone on tone and then used both the definition die as well as the cutting die for each leaf. After laying them out the way I liked, I added a double strand bow using Linen Thread. The Linen Thread is one of my must have products!
Thank you for stopping in today! I really appreciate it and hope you like the card. Please come back tomorrow for another new project.

I have a quick and easy Christmas card to share with you today. I have combined the Winter Woods stamp set with some matching DSP for a cute Christmas Tree card.
The beautiful tree is from the Winter Woods stamp set and stamped using Shaded Spruce Ink. I love the detail in the stamp! I paired it with a similar looking tree on the DSP from the Tis The Season Designer Series Paper.
The sentiment is from the Cherish The Season stamp set. I love the beautiful script of the sentiment. The ground beneath the tree is stamped in Pool Party. For the finishing touch I added the darker red rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestones.
Today’s measurements:
base of Shaded Spruce is 4 1/4 X 11
Cherry Cobbler is 4 1/8 X 5 3/8
DSP is 4 X 5 1/4
Whisper White is 3 3/8 X 4 7/8

I love little 3 X 3 cards to have as Random Act of Kindness cards. I have handed out quite a few during this crazy year. A friend of mine loves them as well. So I keep her supplied, which in turn inspires me to use them. Here are the latest ones I made for her to use.
I made five of each version. There are only two versions, I just liked the picture with the three. LOL!
I used the Banner Year stamp said and paired it with the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper. REMINDER: That is one of the DSP in the 15% Off Sale at the bottom of the post. It ends on Saturday!!!
The base of the card is Thick Whisper White card stock cut to 6 X 3 and folded in half. The DSP is cut 2 7/8 X 2 7/8. The stamped piece is regular Whisper White and is cut 2 X 2. I placed those on the diamond shape just as a contrast to all the plaid.
All of the stamped images are from the Banner Year stamp set. This is a wonderful set that has greetings and images for most times of the year, but especially the Fall through Valentine.
As a finishing touch, I used the Daffodil Ruched Ribbon on the Pretty Peacock Plaid and Cinnamon Cider Ribbon for the bolder pattern. The gold heart at the top is a retired item. I felt that because of the sentiment , With A Grateful Heart, I needed a heart!
Thank you for stopping by today. I appreciate your visits and your comments. Please come back tomorrow for another new project.

Last Wednesday I shared a great Fun Fold card for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop. I made a slim card using the same fold that I am sharing with you today. This fold is a CASE from Paula Butler and a card I received in a swap we were part of. I LOVE this fold and all of it’s possibilities.
And here is the open view:
As you can see from this open view, it is also a gift card holder! WooHoo. This version of the card has the top focal layer pushed to the left. This allows room for the sentiment, which is a bit long, to go to the right side. One of the things I love about this fun fold is that you can move that center section to wherever you want it to accommodate different elements. And you could eliminate the gift card slot as well.
This gorgeous DSP is the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper. I think having the various shades of blue along with the Highland Heather makes it very special! I love traditional Christmas colors, but I also like “different” some times. This definitely fits that bill!
The snowman and sentiment are from the Snowman Season stamp set. It is in the Annual Catalog and was a carry over from last year. There is a matching punch as well. The inside sentiment is from the Wrapped In Christmas stamp set.
I have the measurements for this card just below. You can click HERE to see the slim line card I did using the same Fun Fold.
Measurements:
Base card of Highland Heather is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2
Center folded / gift card layer is 3 1/8 X 10 1/2, scored at 4 1/4 and 8 1/2
Fold the 8 1/2 score line to the inside for the gift card pocket
Inside Whisper White layer , and front stamped layer, are 2 7/8 X 4
Left side DSP is 3/4 X 4
Right side DSP is 1 1/4 X 4
Gift slot DSP is 2 7/8 X 1 3/4
Sentiment layers are 1 1/4 X 3, and 1 X 2 3/4
Regarding assembly: For me, it was easiest to apply to DSP pieces on each side allowing the same spacing on the outsides. Then simply fit the center piece into place. The center piece fits flush with the top and bottom of the base card.
Thank you for stopping by today! Please come back tomorrow for another new project.

You all know that I LOVE Gift Card Holders. I have one to share today that I have made several variations of for classes this year. The one I am showing you is made with two of my favorite products from the Mini Catalog.
I paired the super cute Have A Hoot stamp set with one of my all time favorite DSP, the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper. I also used the Wrapped In Christmas stamp set as well.
Somehow I failed to take a picture of the inside of this version! DUH!!! But I have a picture of one of the other versions. Other than the DSP, it looks the same. So here is the inside view.
The only difference on this inside view, is that I added the Circle Die cut to the top. This allows the gift card section to tuck underneath it for a closure.
I love this fold and layout. It allows quite a lot for your stamped and written sentiments, as well as the gift card slot.
Here are a few different versions of the same fold.
Here are the measurements for the top photo and the inside.
base card is Whisper White Thick cardstock cut 4 1/4 X 11, scored at 1 1/2, 5 1/2
Fold and burnish the score lines. The 1 1/2 is the gift card holder. Fold it to the inside. Place a gift card or business card into the slot as you secure it with Tear & Tape. This allows a bit of extra room so that the card does not tear the paper when added later.
When closed, the fold of the card (the 5 1/2 score line, is at the bottom.
The DSP is cut to 4 X 1 1/2 and 4 3 3/4 for the front. The gift card slot DSP is 4 X 1 1/4
The front layer is 2 X 3 1/8 and 1 3/4 X 2 7/8 for the owls.
The inside sentiment layers are 4 X 3 3/4 and 3 3/4 X 3 1/2
The top circles are cut using Layering Circles Dies. It is added with dimensionals that are placed center and top. This allows the bottom portion of the card to tuck underneath.
Reminder that the Designer Series Paper sale is almost over. It ends of the 31st!! This is a great deal on the papers shown below.
Thank you for stopping by today. I very much appreciate it and love to get your comments. I do respond individually to each response. Please come back tomorrow for another new project.

If you follow my blog, and I hope you do!!, then you know how much I love different folds. I have a couple of new ones to share this week. I had a doctor’s appointment last week and forgot my book. So I spent quite a while looking at Pinterest and seeing different ideas to CASE. I generally case layouts and folds, but as stampers we are always getting ideas from different places and things. Today’s Fun Fold is a Case of fellow Demonstrato Patty Bennett. She actually shared her version of this card last Tuesday.
For my version of the Fun Fold, I used the Beautiful World Bundle, and paired it with the World of Good Designer Series Paper. The left side of the front is a new Sneak Peek DSP it is the Classic Christmas Designer Series Paper. It paired perfectly with the other DSP.
Actually the Classic Christmas DSP is part of a bundle of products that will be available for purchase in November.
Here is another view of the Fun Fold.
I love how this fold allows the continuity of this gorgeous DSP. It would work with any paper, but a pattern, that is cut correctly, really looks great. And it is simple to cut once you see the card. I chose the map and the simple black globe from the Beautiful World for a clean and masculine look. The globe layer is a Crumb Cake layer cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.
Here is a totally opened up view.
There is not a lot of room to write your note, but I believe it is adequate. This sentiment seems just perfect for the narrow piece of Whisper White.
Here are the measurements for the card and the cutting.
Base of card is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored at 1 1/2 and 4 1/4
Fold and burnish all of the score lines. The short fold, folds backwards onto the front.
Cut the DSP to the proper orientation. In this case to landscape (sideways) and cut to 6″.
Then cut the height to 5 1/4.
Now place back in landscape mode and cut at 2 3/4, and 1 1/8. This leaves the last piece at 2 1/8. All are 5 1/4 high.
Look at the closed photo. You will see that the front DSP goes from the small folded flap over to the right edge of the card. It does not just fit on that narrow flap.
Adhere the pieces beginning with the 2 3/4. Open the card and adhere the 1 1/8 on the right side of the center section. Adhere the last piece to the left side of the back section.
The Whisper White layer with the sentiment is 1 7/8 X 5 1/4.
I added the front left DSP because my focal layer was the same as the base layer. It is the Classic Christmas DSP and is cut 2 1/2 X 5 1/4
Thank you for visiting today. I hope you enjoyed this new fun fold and will do a CASE yourself.
