Today’s project is a Fun Fold using the Sweet Stockings Bundle and Designer Series Paper. You cannot go wrong with these adorable dogs and cats.
The Fun Fold
I was given this fold in a card swap with my Stamping Club in a card exchange. The card I received had a belly band. I love Fun Folds of all varieties. However, I rarely use a belly band. So I tried different versions of how to keep the card closed and finally arrived at this one.
Here is a view of the card partially open:
You can see how the sentiment layer tucks behind the gift package on each side. And here is a view of the inside and all of the folds.
There are only three score lines, but it seems like more when you unfold it. I love the different angles and the added benefit that it stands up for display very well. Instead of highlighting the products, they will all be in the Supply List at the bottom, I am going to give you the measurements.
Measurements
My version is made using a piece of Pool Party cardstock cut to 4 1/4 X 11.
It is scored at 1 1/4, 5 1/2, & 9 1/4.
Please look at the last picture for the directions of the folds.
There are three different sizes of the DSP. I is cut as follows: 1 Strip cut 1 X 4, 1 Strip cut 1 1/2 X 4, 2 pieces cut 3 1/2 X 4. The strips are placed on the two end sections. The left one is the narrower. The DSP larger pieces are on the front of the closed card and on the inside right.
The inside sentiment section White piece is cut 4 X 4.

Today’s project is a Fun, quick and easy card starring the Little Delights Stamp set. It is a Smile card for sure.
Stamps
All of the stamps I used on this card are from the one stamp set. As I mentioned, it is the Little Delights stamp set. It has become a Go To stamp set for quick and easy cards. The seasonal images and sentiments are so fun! I went with the Ho Ho Ho and Christmas lights. The lights do not have a string connecting them. I added the cord using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. It is the one Marker that can be purchased individually.
Colors and Finishes
To be a bit different, I went with out of the norm colors. The Poppy Parade is a version of red and I paired it with Misty Moonlight. These are great together. To finish off the card, I added some Metallic Pearls at the base of each light bulb. Another metallic touch is a bow made from the Metallic Mesh Ribbon. To be quite wide, this ribbon is a dream to work with! The final touch was to add Wink of Stella to each of the light bulbs.

The card for today is one of the Slim or Skinny cards made with a touch of Whimsey and Snowflakes. It includes the Whimsical Trees Bundle along with the Wonderful Snowflakes. An early touch of Christmas.
Stamps and Dies
This sweet card is made with one of my favorite Bundles in the Mini Catalog. The Whimsical Trees Bundle is fabulous. The tree with the lovely metallic garland is so pretty and actually simple to do. They are both die cut using the matching dies of the bundle. For the garland, I did use the Adhesive Sheets to simplify applying it to the tree.
Colors
Above I mentioned my favorite Bundle, is the Whimsical Trees, when actually it is a favorite Suite of products. The Designer Series Paper was my color inspiration for this card, even though I did not use the DSP. The Blushing Bride and Misty Moonlight are so pretty together. And I had to use a green for the tree. I went with Soft Succulent there.
Finishing Touches
One of the main pieces of this card is the Wonderful Snowflake. These are iridescent snowflakes that come in a package pre cut. I love the shine it brings to the card. As a pairing to the Rose Metallic Shimmer of the garland, I added the Blushing Bride Metallic Ribbon. It is wrapped around the front layers with an extra strip simply tied in a knot. The last touch is the Champagne Rhinestone on the center of the snowflake

Today’s card is another Fun Fold that is a super easy one to make. It is a change to soft Christmas Colors with a touch of Whimsey. This will definitely be one of my Christmas cards this year. I CASED it from The Paper Pixie, Julie DiMatteo.
Paper
This card is all about the paper! The gorgeous Whimsey & Wonder Designer Series Paper is such a WOW! I have now fallen in love with all of the soft colors for Christmas in place of the traditional ones. The Blushing Bride card base is pulled from the beautiful paper. And both pieces of the DSP you see are from the Whimsey & Wonder.
Stamps and Dies
All of the stamps used, with the exception of one, are included in the Whimsical Trees stamp set. I really love the sweet sentiment on the front. It is larger than most front sentiments, but it fit perfectly and is so sweet! The raised swirl is in the stamp set and has a matching die that I used to cut it out with.
This is a view of the card opened. You can still see the beautiful DSP. The same swirl image as on the front, I stamped on the inside as well. Merry Christmas is the only stamp not included in the Whimsical Trees. This one is from the Little Delights stamp set.

With the holidays coming up quickly, one of the things I most look forward to is fresh gingerbread. One it is bread, and two it is sweet. You cannot beat that. So to share my love of gingerbread, I have a fun and quick card to share with you.
Stamps
This fun stamp set is from the Frosted Gingerbread Bundle. It has the sweet gingerbread stamps along with some great sentiments. For this card I did the quick method and only stamped the sentiment. I love this sentiment as it could be a sweetheart type sentiment or just a sweet sentiment for friends.
Paper
The gorgeous plaid paper is from the Gingerbread & Peppermint 6X6 Designer Series Paper pack. There are great patterns that appear to have the baked gingerbread in the background. Also there are pieces that match the Dies included in the Bundle. I could have stamped the bell and then die cut it, but I went the quick and easy route and simply die cut from the paper. Yay!!
Dies
There are two different sets of Dies used on this card. The first set is the one for the plaid gingerbread background piece. It is cut using the middle of the Scalloped Countours Dies. I truly love this Die set and especially these layer ones. The second set of Dies is the ones from the Gingerbread Bundle. I used the bell Die to cut out the Bell from the DSP. And the only finishing touch this card needed was a hanger for the bell. The Simply Elegant Trim makes a delicate little bow for the hanger.

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is Fantastic Fun Folds and 3D Projects. We really hope that you enjoy and will be inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, don’t forget to leave comments because we love hearing from you. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
The card I have made to share with you today is technically a Fun Fold. There are options for making it and I went with a simple version. My version removes part of the “Fold” making it more of a Fun Cut than Fold. LOL!! Of course I would be different. But I hope you like it.
Fun Fold
This fold is called an Envelope Fold. I got the fold idea from a Splitcoast Stamper post of Dina Kowal. It can be either cut into a point on the front, like I have done. Or it can be scored and folded , where I cut off those sides, and then the DSP triangle is added over the folded sections creating a pocket. I wanted the clean look of the point for the front of the card.
Here is a look at the inside of the card. I have a PDF for the card further down in the post.
The corner DSP pieces are what you also see on the front. I love that this fold still allows plenty of room for your inside stamping and writing.
Stamps, Dies and Ink
The stamp set is what used to be a Bundle. It is the Poinsettia Petals stamp set and matching Poinsettia Dies. All of the stamping is done using Cherry Cobbler Ink. The poinsettia on the inside is “stamped off” first to create a bit lighter color.
I used Cherry Cobbler cardstock for the die cut flowers on the front of the card. The Poinsettia Dies are awesome in the details they give to the flowers. There are two separate dies for each flower. They can be used singly or together, as I did.
Paper and Embellishments
For me, the beginning of most cards is the Designer Series Paper. For this card, other than the Fun Fold, that was the case. I love the Tidings of Christmas 6X6 paper stack. And the piece I used is my favorite. The mix of soft and regals colors are perfect.
To finish with some bling, I added the flower centers by using the awesome Gold Metallic Specialty Paper. It comes paired with a Rose color as well. They are beautiful and have awesome details. The die used is included in the die set. For the smallest flower, I used the ribbon hole on the Delightful Tag Topper Punch to make a center.
