Double Easel Card Christmas

I am starting on a few Christmas cards since I ordered this cute set.  It is by Stampin Up and called A Little Christmas DSP and Christmas Mice stamps and dies.  The tutorial is from Laura of Creative Gems on Youtube.

 

Double Z Fold Tag Card

This card is from Carys Creative Table. I used Stampin Up DSP called Luxe Foliage and the sunflowers from Radiant Sunflowers.

 

Inside Out Card

 This is a copy of a card on YouTube by StampinNotes with Verna. It was so much fun to make and use all of these parts and pieces of the a Little Christmas and Christmas Mice Suite. So cute! So the front lifts to show three layers but then you flip the front over to the back and the scene appears and becomes an easel card!

Pop Up Card within a Card A2

This is the A2 or 4.25 x 5.5 version of this card.  I just made it that way but had to cut the inside short so it wouldn't stick out when closed.  I forgot to crop the middle image but it kind of looks staged doesnt it? Same paper once again, its so pretty and fun to work with.

 

X Fold Flash Card

Three cards here - This tutorial is from Lauras Creative Gems.  I made a masculine birthday card which I don't make many. The pheasant paper is from the Harvest paper from Stampin Up from last Fall.  I hadn't used this piece so I thought I would give it a go.  Its a pretty piece of paper.  I didn't have anything to match it so I printed out the Pine trees from Creative Fabrica. I think I am going to renew that subscription next year because I have printed out some beautiful things and gotten some lovely fonts. I then made it for my dear friend in TX who loves fancy fun fold cards.  I make one a month for her, I even keep track to be sure I don't forget!  The last one for for the monthly swap I have been doing in Creative Cards with Trish on Facebook.

 

  

Inside Pop Out fun Fold or Magic Wings

Depending on whose tutorial you use, the name is different. One is Dawns Stamping Thoughts and the other is Sue Stampfield Crafternoon.  Sunflower Fields Suite by Stampin Up and the frame is from the Sweet Words and Labels set.

 

Inside Pop-Up Card

 What can I say, when a DSP pack inspires me I use a lot of it!  Apparently I am not the only one as I went to order more and it is out of stock.  Waiting for it to come back as it will be restocked. Anyway this is a 5x5 card which I don't like to mail but it is really lovely.  I used the Sweet Words and Labels dies for the front, just love the shape and little loops along the sides.  Made a bunch of sunflowers and just put them everywhere.  On the back I decided to ink blend Cajun Craze and cut out the sunflowers and it matched perfectly!  Just one light layer.  I like the monochromatic look. Loved making this card!

A Different Flip Flap Card

This card uses the flip flap to the side.  When you open the card the side panel flips open to see the panel underneath.  I also followed the example of cutting out the window to show the pretty paper through.  I believe this came from Carrie's Creative Table.  I used Velvet Meadow DSP from Stampin Up. Such pretty paper and I love green!

 

Pivot Panel Fun Fold Card

I have made this card style earlier this summer so its not 'new" to my blog but when I saw this card I had to make it.  Its the paper! I copied it exactly, no bones about it just had to do it because I love it! Dawn's Stamping Thoughts for the video on Youtube. I looked back and this is the 3rd card I have made of this style.  Its so easy but looks complicated!

Card Class for September

 These are the cards we made at my Uplines house this month.  I think she really stepped up a notch with this set!  We did  a window card, a waterfall card, used vellum with the Lily of the Valley, a flip up and side opening on the umbrella card and we used an envelope in the last card as the "designer paper".

Layered Gatefold Card with Pocket

I made this card for my Upline in Stampin Up, we go to her house once a month to make cards and she let us pick out two used items that she no longer needed so I am sending a thank you card to her.  I got a really great hexagon box die and a nice set of three deer dies. Her Upline is Lisa Curcio (which that makes me a downline of Lisa as well) and this is one of her tutorials.  She has great tutorials as well! I taxed my brain on this one trying to come up with die cuts and such to decorate it.  Designing is not easy for me but I try! I decided to double layer the sunflowers and use different shades of yellow and I really like how they tuned out! I hand dyed the ribbon with Peaceful Pine and it ended up tie dye looking. Sunflower Fields Suite again.  I love sunflowers, I think I have every set with them that Stampin Up has come out with.

 

Peek-A-Boo Double Flap Fun Fold Card

This card is for the September swap in Creative Cards with Trish.  The idea is to have just a peak of the designer paper showing but when you open it you get to see both sides of the paper.  Good card for your designer paper that has both sides that are pretty.  I used Peaceful Pine cardstock and Velvet Meadow designer paper (DSP).

 

Triple Pop-Out Slider Card with Pooh

I am sticking with the post every three days.  Seems to be working out well for me. This is a lovely Stampin Up set that has Winnie the Pooh and Friends. My friend has this set and came over and we made this card.  So adorable! The mechanism is similar to other cards, just pops out to the side in this case as you pull the card to the right. I put the panel on the back for a note.
