The Night of Navy just seemed the perfect choice for this card base and the Wise Men. Sahara Sand is great complement color and the Crushed Curry is just the touch of brightness that I felt it needed.
As I said, this is just a super quick and easy card to stamp. It is definitely a perfect card to do at a card buffet or beginner class. Or just for a quick and easy card to make multiples of. I hope you will give it a try.
Thank you for visiting today. I hope you have a super day!!
I have another Christmas card to share with you today. This one , unintentionally, seems very retro looking. Or just plain Old Fashioned ,if you prefer!
Good Tidings, 144870
Even with the old fashioned look, I really love how this card turned out. Sometimes the unexpected is the best. I went with traditional colors and then just stamped directly on the designer series paper. Sometimes we forget to do that and it usually has a great outcome when we do. After all, it is card stock as well.
All of the stamps are from the Good Tidings stamp set except for the holly at the top of the sentiment. The one stamped on the DSP was too large for that small leftover space. So I searched stamp sets and found this much smaller holly in the Every Good Wish set. And of course I had to add some bling!! So instead of red berries, you have rhinestone berries.
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you like this retro look. I think this would be a great one to make at a stamp a stack or even as your main Christmas card for sending.

I have a , as I like to say, made a “Funky Fold” for you today. My Stamp Club’s Fall swap had a challenge for a different type fold. Today I have CASED the fold one of my club member’s used. Thank You CindyTeague!!
Christmas Quilt, 144793
I love the lighter look that this paper combo gives. As usual, my colors came from the DSP. This is the Quilted Christmas 6X6 Designer Series Paper. I would have never thought to use Pool Party as a focal point on a Christmas card! But I love it.
I have extra photos to show you how this version of the Gate Fold works.
Everything except the inside sentiment is from the Christmas Quilt suite of products. I adore that little felt Christmas Tree. The inside sentiment is from Season Like Christmas stamp set.
You do not have to do as many layers as I did. But in case you want to add all of them, I have given you the measurements for everything below.
MEASUREMENTS:
The card base is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, scored at 2 1/8 and 6 3/8
The white layer on each side is cut to 2 X 5 3/8
The DSP layer on each side is cut to 1 7/8 X 5 1/4
The sentiment layer on the front is cut to 3 X 1 7/8 for Pool Party and 2 7/8 X 1 3/4 for white
The tree layer on the front is cut to 1 7/8 X 2 5/16 for Pool Party and 1 3/4 X 2 1/8 for white
The inside sentiment layer is the normal 4 X 5 1/4
I hope you enjoyed this Funky Fold. I will be sharing folds from the other ladies in the near future. Thank you for stopping by today. I very much appreciate your interest and kind comments. And do not hesitate to ask if you have a question.

I have used the Christmas Quilt suite of products for this card. It is quick and cute. What a deal! This is one of the cards that I used in my swap with my Monthly Card Club this past weekend.
Christmas Quilt, 144793
The Quilt Builder Framelits Dies match so many of the stamps in the Christmas Quilt stamp set. I used the triangle die to cut the trees from the Quilted Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper stack. I also cut the tree stand and the star using dies from the set.
I pulled the colors for my card from the designer paper , as usual! I promise that is the easiest way in the world to get your perfect match of colors. I would not have thought to put Pool Party and Real Red together. But when you add the matching paper is really works.
I adore the sentiments in this stamp set as well. They are very simple and sweet. My sentiment is stamped in Pool Party, so it doesn’t show up as well in the photo as it does in person.
MEASUREMENTS:
The base of my card is Real Red cut to 4 1/4 X 11 and folded in half
The Pool Party layer is cut to 4 X 5 1/4
The Whisper White layer is cut 3 3/4 X 5
The Real Red under the DSP is 3 3/4 X 2
The DSP is 3 3/4 X 1 3/4

I unintentionally have an Animal Santa theme going from yesterday’s card and today. I love animals, so it is appropriate. The card for today is also a little on the whimsical side. My Poodle Santa is a picture hanging on the wall.
Santa Paws, 144889
I hope you can see the humor in my Poodle Santa photo hanging on the wall! It was not my original plan, but in playing with the DSP, this is what happened.
Other than laughing, there is not a lot to say about this card. If you are an animal lover, I hope you can picture this hanging in your home during the holidays. I sure can!

I have had this idea for a card in my head for several weeks. Actually one of the reasons that I purchased the Santa’s Suit set was to make this card. I needed Santa’s hat. Hopefully you will not laugh at my card too much! Or if you do, then laugh in a good way…
This Little Piggy, 143922
Isn’t he just adorable? I could not resist making a Santa Pig for Christmas. It took three stamp sets to get there, but I think it was worth the combinations.
My colors came from the different elements in the pig. I used Pear Pizzaz for the grass and Real Red for the Santa Hat. I was disapointed when the hat smeared a little when I added the Wink of Stella. But since pigs tend to get a little dirty I thought it was appropriate.
TIP: The pig stamp has a sentiment under the pig. I used washi tape to cover the sentiment while i was inking the stamp. Then I just pulled off the tape before stamping. Presto! no sentiment.
I hope you at least had a smile this morning from my Santa Pig! Thank you for visiting today. I love to read your comments so please let me know what you think. I hope you have a wonderful day!
