Happy New Catalog Day!! Today is the launch of the Holiday Catalog. WooHoo!! I love the suites and products. Please let me know if you have any questions. Also, the Designer Series Paper Special begins today. I have a picture under Updates at the bottom which lists the papers on sale.
Now on to today’s project. I am sharing one of the new Designer Series Papers from the Holiday Catalog on this card.
I adore this DSP!! It is photos on one side and silver designs on the opposite side. I used my current favorite color of Seaside Spray for the base as well as the New Metallic Ribbon in Seaside Spray. The ribbon is in the Holiday Catalog as well.
The card is an idea I got from seeing a money envelope at the Dollar Tree. I did not measure it, I should have!! But I just played with it until I liked the angles. I am working on my first video and it is this angle. I will go ahead and try to explain so you can recreate it.
Directions:
The base is 4 1/4 X 11, scored at 3 3/4 and 7 3/4. Fold and burnish on the score lines.
The shorter of the ends will be the top. Fold the bottom up and leave the top out flat.
Place the score line of the top on the 1″ mark of your cutter, and place the opposite point in the cutting groove. (You have to slide it away from the top bar to have room for the folded card to lay.
When you cut this, you create the angle. Even though it was from the 1″, the distance down on the short side is actually 1 1/8″. I have no idea why that is, but it works out.
Cut DSP to 3 5/8 X 4 1/8 for bottom and 3 X 4 1/8 for top angle.
With the top DSP, place it with the top against the top bar of the cutter, turn it counterclockwise and place it at the 1″ mark. Make a tick mark just beyond the cutting track on the edge of the paper. (This way you cut you are cutting just to the left of the tick mark and it will be cut away.) Now place the tick mark in the cutting track and also the opposite corner. Make your cut. This will fit perfectly on the angle flap.
I hope these directions are clear enough. I will try to have the video very soon. I think this is a super cute card and can be adjusted to different sizes once you have the basics.
Thanks for checking in today and I hope you are enjoying the new catalog. Please come back tomorrow.

My September Host Code is VYHZ6ZM2. Please use this code for orders under $150.00. I will have a small perk for those with orders over $50.00.
I am playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #400 today. I love the sketch they have chosen. I believe it is a great way to showcase designer series paper, which is one of my favorite products!
And here is the sketch I followed.
I used the Wrapped In Plaid 6 X 6 DSP as my background papers. I chose two pieces that had Shaded Spruce, Night of Navy and Cherry Cobbler. The top piece is Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White. I layered all of the pieces with Whisper White except the sentiment, which is layered on Night of Navy. The stocking is colored with Stampin’ Blends and is hanging from the curl of the B in Believe.
This was a really great sketch to use. I hope you will add it to your file of sketches.

This is a short and sweet post today. I wanted to wish you all a Very, Merry Christmas. And to Thank You for visiting my blog. I am sharing the Christmas Card I sent out this year.
Spirited Snowmen, 148072
“Friendship Warms My Heart” is such a great sentiment to me. I love that so many of my friends are more like family. So this was perfect. I really hope it made the recipient smile.
Thank you for visiting today. I have included the supply list at the bottom if you have this set and want to save the idea for next year’s card.
I usually have some baked goods to give as Host gifts during the holidays with a cute gift tag I make. This year I have not made very much. I do have some for tomorrow, so of course I had to make a cute tag to go with it. To me, tags are simply miniature cards. At least the one I made today is designed like that.
So Santa, 147821
I think these Santas are just adorable and will really miss this great stamp set when it retires. When I first saw this cute guy I knew immediately he would be on my baked goods tags. I could not resist.
The stamping and layout are very simple for this. If I needed quite a few of these I really would not want to spend a lot of time making them. This one is stamped, colored with Stampin’ Blends, and then layered. That is all it took.
Thank you so much for stopping in today. I hope you are having a great holiday and will continue to enjoy time with family and friends. I will have a quick post tomorrow for your morning coffee. I will be sharing the Christmas card I mailed out this year. As always, the complete supply list is at the bottom of the post.
Today I have continued with the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbon theme from yesterday’s InKing Royalty Blog Hop. I made a couple of cards and the one I used yesterday in the hop was my favorite. The one I am sharing today is the second favorite. Again, there is only a tiny bit of stamping. It is definitely different.
Tea Room Ribbon Combo, 146893
This is not a normal stamping card as you can see. But I have always loved the ribbon trees you see in different forms each year. I used to have throw pillows that had a gorgeous gold ribbon for the tree. So I created one in miniature for my card. This ribbon is from the Tea Room Suite of products. You get the Coastal Cabana ribbon and the Vanilla ribbon together in one pack. They are a great value and are beautiful.
To match the ribbon color, I went with Coastal Cabana as a layer. It is not a normal Christmas color, but who cares! The beautiful gold DSP is from the Broadway Bound Specialty DSP. It is thick and gorgeous!
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I will be back to a normal card to share with you tomorrow. As always, all of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.
Welcome to InKing Royalty’s December Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by popular songs – this month’s song is “Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.” As you can guess, our Blog Hop today is filled with projects that are inspired by beautiful paper and beautiful ribbons – how clever! 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.
From the minute I heard this Blog Hop title, I have had that song in my head. Except that is about all of the song I can remember. So I am humming Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbon! Yikes. So….with that in my head, I came up with a “Wrapped” card. That song reminds me of a gift. Here is my gift to you today.
TMerry Merlot & Copper Reversible Ribbon, 147818
This is really not a card for mailing, but I love how it turned out. The focal points of the card are the ribbon and the tag. Although the Joyous Noel Specialty DSP, and Glimmer Paper, are fabulous. The little tag is stamped with the sprig from the Peaceful Noel stamp set. The sentiment ,”This Is For You!”, is from the Takeout Treats stamp set. It is embossed with Copper embossing powder. The reversible ribbon with Merry Merlot and Copper really ties in with the two papers and the embossed sentiment.
All of the supplies for today’s project are listed at the bottom of the post. And don’t forget the Clearance Rack, it has been updated this week!! You may find some of my supplies on there.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the bloghop,Rachel Shedeed at Bluebonnet Stampin’. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!
