12 Weeks of Christmas Cards: Week 12!

I made it!  This is my LAST batch of cards for my 12 Weeks of Christmas Cards!  I went back to the Christmas Tags & More Specialty papers (which are out of stock, and I'm pretty sure they are NOT coming back.).  

Put two patterns together for the front of the card, then add a layered panel.  I cut the 2" x 3" panels from one of the sheets of dsp, and layered with Garden Green.  

Pop the panels up, and stick down the adhesive greeting ephemera.

Finish with some Antique Pearls.

Paper Measurements:

• Garden Green:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
• Christmas Tags & More DSP (mistletoe print):  3" x 5 1/4"
• Christmas Tags & More DSP (check print):  1" x 5 1/4"
• Christmas Tags & More DSP (back of check print has the panels):  cut panels 2" x 3"
• Garden Green:  2 1/4" x 3 1/4"

Supplies you'll need to create these (Stampin' Up, unless otherwise noted.  Items may be retired.):

Stamps: None

Ink:  None

Paper: Garden Green, Basic White, Christmas Tags & More Specialty Designer Series paper

Other: Antique Pearls, Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera

I hope you enjoyed the last 12 weeks of Christmas Cards - maybe you got some inspiration for this year's cards, or next year's...  It certainly helped me get all of my cards finished, and I think I actually have extras at this point.  Yay!  Now to start addressing and stuffing envelopes this week...

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!

Nutcracker Tags, Boxes, and Bags!

Happy Saturday Friends!  Today I'm sharing the projects that I made live on Thursday night.  Starting out with the Nutcracker Tag Kit, then I made a two-piece box, and a huge self-closing gift bag.  I always make Christmas gifties/treats for my pool teams, and these are SO roomy.  You could fit a lot of treats in them.  

Unfortunately, the Nutcracker Tags are unavailable and I have no insight into their return.  Frankly, I would NOT expect them to restock this close to Christmas and the end of the year.  We'll see though.  If you did not get one of these adorable kits, you can certainly make ANY tag that you want.

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube. 

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

The Nutcracker Tags are all just about assembly.  Glue Dot and Mini Dimensional the pieces together.   I love the assembly-only kits like that.

In case you are wondering - what did I put in these boxes and bags?   

• Hot cocoa packet (single)
• Lottery Scratcher card (folded up)
• mini candy canes
• Hershey's Miniature candies
• Miniature bottle of booze (in the boxes), OR mug cake mix/icing  (in the bags)

You put whatever fits in the container and is suitable for the person you're gifting to.  You can fit a LOT in these boxes and bags!

The two-piece box is one of my favorite projects.  Well, any box project is a favorite.  :)  Two-piece means there is a top/lid and a bottom.   After I cut the two pieces of cardstock, I stamped trees all over the top/lid.  Shy Shamrock ink on Shy Shamrock cardstock.  I love a tone-on-tone background like this!

Side view.  I know it's hard to tell because I used the same color cardstock for the top and bottom, but can you see the bottom peeks out?  That's because the bottom piece is taller than the top/lid piece.  Normally, I would use a darker color cardstock for the bottom but it just wasn't possible this time.  I had nothing else that matched or coordinated close enough.

Here's the pattern, for a visual.  This is two patterns in one diagram.  Keep in mind that the bottom has to be a smidge (1/16") smaller in order for the lid to fit on nice and firm.  No wobbly lids!

Paper Measurements:

• Shy Shamrock TOP/LID:  6 1/2" x 9 1/4", score at 1 1/2" on all 4 sides
• Shy Shamrock BOTTOM:  7 7/16" x 10 3/16", score at 2" on all 4 sides

Then you'll just cut the tabs and assemble both pieces, according to the video.

I came up with the size for this box based on the largest item, which in my case was the Hot Cocoa packet.  It was about 3 1/4" x 6", so I started my pattern from there.

Tie your tag on with whatever ribbon you have.  I used some old Pool Party sheer ribbon for this box, but I don't have enough for all of them.  I'll have to use a hodge podge of ribbons.  Still CUTE!

Stamps:  Ornamental Christnas

Ink: Shy Shamrock

Paper:  Shy Shamrock

Other:  Nutcracker Tag Kit, Pool Party Sheer ribbon, treats

The next project is a Self-Closing Gift Bag.  I used a piece of Poppy Parade Two-Tone cardstock for this one, but you could also use Designer Series Paper.  Regular cardstock is too thick, and will not bend nicely for this style of gift bag.

Once I cut my two-tone cardstock, I again stamped trees all over.  Poppy Parade ink on the Poppy Parade two-tone cardstock.  (NOTE:  ink takes a little bit longer to dry on the two-tone cardstock.)  Make sure the pattern direction is going the right way. 

Finished bag size is 7 3/4" tall.  Very roomy!

Paper Measurements:

• Poppy Parade Two-Tone:  10 1/2" tall  x 12" wide

To score this correctly, start with the trees facing up, 12" side of your paper is at the top of your Scoreboard:

• Score at 5 3/4", and 11 1/2".  Turn your paper to the RIGHT one turn.
• Score at 2 3/4".  Turn your paper to the RIGHT one turn.
• Score at 3 3/8", and 9 1/8" only going until you hit the score mark from the step above.

Pattern sketch so you get the idea.  You'll need to cut flaps and tabs according to the video for assembly.

Side-view shows how the top of this bag pinches together.  I punched holes and added ribbon, but you could also keep it closed with a paper clip or a binder clip.  

Stamps:  Ornamental Christmas

Ink:  Poppy Parade

Paper: Poppy Parade Two-Tone Cardstock

Other:  Nutcracker Tag Kit, White Glittered Organdy Ribbon

Once I finish this post, I'm going back into my craft room to make the rest of these boxes and bags!

I've been researching Waterfall Cards for next week's projects.  I want to make something that will hold multiple gift cards, or something small/flat-ish like individually wrapped tea bags.  It will be a week before Christmas, and you might have a need for some last minute gifts that you can throw together quickly.  100% transparency - I have never made a waterfall card before!  In all of my 25+ years of stamping...never made one.  They always seemed too putzy for me, but I'm going to have it figured out by Thursday.  :)

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!

12 Weeks of Christmas Cards: Week 11

You guys...I have been wanting to make an "OY to the world" card for years.  Years.  For real.  It's been on my list for that long, but I never had products that spoke to me.  Now I've got these gigantic Party Alphabet dies and the Lights of Aurora papers...it was meant to be!  Bonus:  a recent Paper Pumpkin kit (Cozy Christmas) had "to the world" in the stamps, so that was really REALLY perfect.

These are my Week 11 Christmas Cards, and I can hardly believe that I've only got ONE more week left of my 12 Weeks of Christmas Cards series.  I'm pretty happy that I've made it every week so far.

Let's talk about these cards - first of all, you'll want to pick some glimmer paper to die-cut your letters.  I used the Blue and Gray from the Peaceful Gardens Glimmer pack.

Die-cut some mountains for the bottom of the card.  I glued all of those flat onto the card front.

Paper Measurements:

• Secret Sea:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
• Lights of Aurora DSP:  4 1/8" x 5 3/8", plus cut-off scraps
• Peaceful Gardens Glimmer Papers (blue and gray):  2 1/2" strip to die-cut letters 
• Basic White:  scraps to stamp/cut greeting
• Basic Black:  scraps to die-cut mountains

I only made one card with the dark grey glimmer paper, but I do like it.  I like them both.

I layered the greeting on the back-side of the dsp scrap.  Pop that up.

Finish by gluing a bunch of Loose Snowflakes on each card.  These Loose Snowflakes are much better suited for shaker cards..they're so tiny, but I made it work.

Supplies you'll need to create these (Stampin' Up, unless otherwise noted.  Items may be retired.):

Stamps: Cozy Christmas (Paper Pumpkin October 2025)

Ink:  Blueberry Bushel

Paper: Secret Sea, Basic Black, Basic White, Peaceful Gardens Glimmer paper, Lights of Aurora Designer Series paper

Other: Light & Wonder dies, Party Alphabet dies, Loose Snowflakes

Join me this Thursday night as I'm back on my regular schedule.  I'll be making some cards that will be perfect for gift-giving occasions - holidays or birthdays!  Tune in!

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!

GIFT cards, but not "gift cards"

Hello again Crafty Peeps!  This post is all about the "GIFT" cards that I made on Thursday night, along with a small gift box.  These stackable "gifts" make really cute cards.  Think of any occasion where you might have a pile of gifts - birthday, wedding or baby shower, wedding, mitzvahs - change the papers to suit any theme you need!

Notice that we've got two varieties - stack of presents, and stack of presents with lids on the "boxes".

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube. 

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

First card is a Christmas card - only because I used Christmasy (North Pole Delivery) papers.  Although now that I look at it closer...this could be for a birthday too.

The basic plan for creating these cards is you create the "gifts" first.  Add Ribbon to each gift, if you want to.  Glue all the gifts together.  Glue the whole stack to the front of your card.

Paper Measurements:

• Poppy Parade:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
• North Pole Delivery DSP (pool party with white dots):  4" x 5 1/4"
• North Pole Delivery DSP (small gift):  2" x 3 1/2", scored at 1/2", 1 1/2", 2", 3"
• North Pole Delivery DSP (medium gift):  2 3/4" x 4 3/4", scored at 3/4", 2", 2 3/4", 4"
• North Pole Delivery DSP (large gift):  3 1/2" x 6", scored at 1", 2 1/2", 3 1/2", 5"

Here's a side view - the gifts stacked up.  You can see the inside prints, but that's okay.

I added a car and light pole from the North Pole Delivery DSP ephemera bits, along with a greeting from the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera pack.  

Traditional Sparkling Sequins finish it off.

Stamps:  none

Ink: none

Paper:  Poppy Parade, Basic White, North Pole Delivery Designer Series Paper

Other:  Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera pack, Pool Party Sheer ribbon, Traditional Sparkling Sequins (pool party)

This is my prototype - another Christmas card featuring the Christmas Tags & More DSP pack.  Again, I added a greeting from the ephemera pack.  I did pop up that greeting with some Stampin' Dimensionals.

Paper Measurements:

• Garden Green:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
• Silent Snowfall Specialty Paper:  4" x 5 1/4"
• Christmas Tags & More DSP (small gift):  2" x 3 1/2", scored at 1/2", 1 1/2", 2", 3"
• Christmas Tags & More DSP (medium gift):  2 3/4" x 4 3/4", scored at 3/4", 2", 2 3/4", 4"
• Christmas Tags & More DSP (large gift):  3 1/2" x 6", scored at 1", 2 1/2", 3 1/2", 5"

Standing up view -

I used some Gold Striped 3/8" Mesh ribbon on this one, and Iridescent Foil Gems.

Stamps:  none

Ink:  none

Paper:  Garden Green, Basic White, Silent Snowfall Specialty, Christmas Tags & More Designer Series Paper

Other:  Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera pack, Gold Striped 3/8" Mesh ribbon, Iridescent Foil Gems

The next GIFT card that I made is a fun Turtle themed birthday card.  This time, I added "lids" to the presents/boxes.  I changed the measurements for the lids in the video - they were hanging too far down, so the measurements below are what you want to follow.

I don't have the coordinating turtle stamps, so I cut this image directly out of the designer papers.

Paper Measurements:

• Poppy Parade:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
• Turtle-y Cute DSP:  4" x 5 1/4"
• Turtle-y Cute DSP (small gift):  2" x 3 1/2", scored at 1/2", 1 1/2", 2", 3"
• Shaded Spruce (small gift lid):  2 1/8" x 7/8", scored at 1/2"
• Turtle-y Cute DSP (medium gift):  2 3/4" x 4 3/4", scored at 3/4", 2", 2 3/4", 4"
• Garden Green (medium gift lid):  2 7/8" x 1 1/4", scored at 3/4"
• Turtle-y Cute DSP (large gift):  3 1/2" x 6", scored at 1", 2 1/2", 3 1/2", 5"
• Poppy Parade (large gift lid):  3 5/8" x 1 1/2", scored at 1"

Side view of this one -  the "Happy" and "Birthday" were actually one piece of ephemera.  I cut them apart!

Finished off with rhinestones.

Stamps:  none

Ink:  none

Paper: Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce, Garden Green, Basic White, Turtle-y Cute Designer Series Paper

Other:  Say Something Mix & Match Ephemera pack, White Glittered Organdy ribbon, Basic Rhinestones

I was also able to squeeze this project in at the end of my video.  This was something that a few folks had requested, after I posted a Christmas version on my Facebook Page.  It's a small Pizza box.  Finished size is 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 1" tall.  I ended up using the Turtle-y Cute papers again, because I had this extra turtle and balloon cut out already and this stuff was already out on my table.  Change up the papers to something for Christmas for a nice little box!

Here is the pattern for this little box.  You need a piece of cardstock that is 5 1/2" x 10".  You'll need to watch the video for how I cut, glued and assembled this box.

On the 10" side, score at 1", 4 1/2", 5 1/2", 9"

On the 5 1/2" side, score at 1", 4 1/2"

I added (2)  3 1/4" x 3 1/4" pieces of Turtle-y Cute DSP, and the cut-out birthday turtle.  I didn't add any ribbon or greeting - frankly, I'm just adding this to my pile of finished boxes for now.  I don't have a specific person to give it to right now.  :)   The whole point was to show you all how to make it, so go forth and make some!

This coming Thursday, I'll be working on two different styles of boxes/bags to go with the Nutcracker Tags.  I'll be using these to hold gifties for my pool teams.   Tune in for some more cuteness!

Keeping Traditions Holiday Mini Album Part 3 (Final)

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!  I'm finally getting this post completed, from Sunday night.  I finally finished my Keeping Traditions Mini Album, and I hope you love it as much as I do.  I think I've got some neat ideas in this album for adding more and more pictures.

In this final episode of my Keeping Traditions Mini Album series, I'm working on the front cover, adding ribbon, adding all of my 3" x 4" and 4" x 6" pocket fillers, creating some tags and photo booklets, and showing you how to add tags or photo mats/journaling pieces with hinges.  Cool stuff!

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube. 

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

For this Part 2 session, I'm sharing pictures of some of the elements that I created.  Not all of them.  For instance, I created three photo booklets....I might only have pictures of one.  I also created a few tags, but I'm only showing pics of one or two.

Before I even started filming this video, I cut all of the 3" x 4" and 4" x 6" pieces of dsp and two-tone cardstock to fill ALL of the pockets.  Just to have something in them...whether I swap out for pictures later, or use them for journaling - I just wanted something in every pocket.  This includes every pocket in the pocket page protectors as well as all of the Flip Flaps that I added to this album.  I used up all of my smaller scraps first, before cutting into larger pieces of paper.

Paper Measurements:

• 3" x 4" pieces:  (34)
• 4" x 6" pieces:  (19)

I started with the front cover.  I layered some DSP on to Real Red Two-Tone cardstock, and layered some stickers.  Tie some ribbon around the album, and finish off with some sparkly bits.

Paper Measurements:

• Real Red Two-Tone:  6 1/2" x 8 1/2"
• DSP (Cherry Cobbler dots):  6 1/4" x 8 1/4"
• The rest is just scraps and stickers.

Inside the front cover, I had a pocket.  I created this 5" x 7" photo booklet, and 4" x 6" tag to go in that pocket.  The "December documented" journaling bit is also a tuck spot - just glued down in the corner.

Paper Measurements:

• Secret Sea TT CS:  7" x 10", scored at 5"
• Secret Sea DSP:  4 3/4" x 6 3/4"
• Secret Sea TT CS:  4" x 12", scored at 6" and glued together to make a studier tag
• Poinsettia DSP:  3 3/4" x 5 3/4"

I had some 5" x 6" pieces of two-tone cardstock left, so I made a tip in with this one.  Add DSP and a sticker to the front.  I can definitely add more stickers or gems once I know what I'm going to put on this piece.

See how I used two hinges to attach this?  There's a reason for that, and I do talk about that in the video.  Paper-clipped that journaling bit to the back here.

Paper Measurements:

• Pool Party TT CS:  5" x 6"
• Lined DSP:  4 3/4" x 5 3/4"
• Pool Party TT CS Hinges:  (2) 2 1/4" x 1", scored at 1/2"

Another photo booklet for this Pocket page, with a poinsettia die-cut on the front for a tuck spot.

This might be my favorite tag in this book.  It started out as a stand-alone pocket tag.  I was going to clip it to this page with a paper clip, but changed my mind.  I added it as a tip-in with a hinge, and I love it!

It's a pocket, with a tag that you can see peeking out from the top.  Then there's a pocket on the front, made from the green plaid DSP.  Finally, there is a tuck spot made with those two poinsettia die-cuts.  So many possibilities to add things to this tag!

Paper Measurements:

• Old Olive Two-Tone CS:  4" x 12", scored at 6".  Glue bottom and left side to make pocket.
• Old Olive Plaid DSP:  3 1/2" x 5", scored at 1/2" on three sides to make the gusseted pocket
• Real Red TT CS (tag):  3" x 6 1/2"
• Real Red TT CS Hinge:  5 1/2" x 1", scored at 1/2"

There's still plenty to see and hear about in the video, but these are just some highlights.

Friends of Unity December 2025 Blog Hop: Mood Board

Welcome to the December 2025 Blog Hop, brought to you by the Friends of Unity Blog hoppers!  This month, we've got this awesome Mood Board!  The idea is to take whatever elements you want from this board and reflect that in your project.

I took the sketch, colors, greenery, and pinecones.  I love this whole mood board idea!

Something special to note is that this month is the 8th Anniversary of the Friends of Unity Blog Hoppers!  I've only been playing with them for about a year now, but that's so cool that they've been doing this for 8 years! 

 

Paper Measurements:

• Cherry Cobbler:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• Cherry Cobbler:  4 1/16" x 5 5/16"
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
• Christmas Pack DSP (wood/pinecone print):  3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
• Christmas Pack DSP (green plaid):  (3) 1/2" x 6"
• Cherry Cobbler:  3" circle, cut with largest Stylish Shapes circle die
• Basic White:  3" circle, cut with Layering Circles die to fit inside Cherry Cobbler circle
• Basic White:  scraps to stamp and hand-cut pine cones and greeting

I started off gluing the 1/2" strips of plaid paper to the main piece of patterned paper.  Follow the sketch.  I liked the pinecones on the paper, and tried not to cover them up entirely.

Then I stamped the pinecones and greenery on a Basic White circle, and mounted that to a Cherry Cobbler Circle.

Stamp two pinecones AGAIN, color in with some Stampin' Blends markers and then hand-cut.  I used three different shades of brown to color them in.  Glue the pinecones over top of the ones that I stamped originally.  

Run Clear Shimmer Brush all over the pinecones.  I finished off with some Textured Metallic dots.

Here's a list of everything I used:

Stamps: Whispering Pines and Let's get Merry (both from Unity Stamp Co)

Ink:  Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow

Paper:  Cherry Cobbler, Basic White, "Christmas Pack" (that's really what it's called.  I thought it was from Unity, but it doesn't say.)

Other:  Stylish Shapes dies, Layering Circles dies, Stampin' Blends markers (various shades of brown), Textured Metallic dots, Shimmer brush marker

You probably got here from Joyce's post, and the next stop is Jenni's creation. Please hop on through and check out everyone's projects.

12 Weeks of Christmas Cards: Week 10

Whew!  I am barely making it again this week!  I have a good excuse this time though - I called a friend that I haven't talked to in a very long time and we had such a good, long conversation.  It was worth the scurrying to post now.  :)  

I'm on Week 10 now, of my 12 Weeks of Christmas Cards!  It's hard to believe that A) December 1st will be here in about 20 minutes, and B) that I've only got TWO more of my 12 Weeks of Christmas Cards!  I swear, once September hits the weeks just fly by and now here we are...

This week's cards rely mostly on the pretty papers and an embossed background for some added texture and interest.  You need three pieces of designer series paper, which I glued flat to the embossed piece of Cloud Cover.  I suppose you could pop them up too...that would be interesting.

Then I added a small bit of Secret Sea Faux Linen ribbon and glued my greeting right on top of it.

Paper Measurements:

• Secret Sea:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
• Cloud Cover:  4" x 5 1/4", embossed with Eyelet folder
• Peaceful Gardens Designer Series Paper:  (3) 1 3/4" wide x 1 5/8" tall  (pay attention to the direction of your pattern, if there is one)

There is NO stamping on these cards!  Similar to last week, I used the Greetings for You Mix & Match ephemera.  

I finished with some Low Profile Sparkle Gems in Secret Sea.

Supplies you'll need to create these (Stampin' Up, unless otherwise noted.  Items may be retired.):

Stamps: None

Ink:  None

Paper: Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Peaceful Gardens Designer series paper

Other: Eyelet embossing folder, Secret Sea Faux Linen ribbon, Low Profile Sparkle Dots, Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera pack

Join me this Thursday night as I'm back on my regular schedule.  I'll be making some cards that will be perfect for gift-giving occasions - holidays or birthdays!  Tune in!
