12 Weeks of Christmas Cards: Week 9


Thanks for stopping by to check out my Week 9 cards, in my 12 Weeks of Christmas Cards series.  I can't believe there are only three more weeks after tonight!  I wanted to get into the ephemera bits of this North Pole Delivery designer series paper pack for this week's cards.  I have a few animal lovers that I can send these cards to, so I hope they like them.

Die cut that postage stamp layer, and add in the two different pieces of designer series paper.  Then glue on an animal, and envelope, and a little stamp or post box to each one.  They all got three things.  Actually, one card had really small animals so that one got two animals.  

Then I added a tiny piece of Real Red Shiny ribbon, and glued the greeting right on top of that.  The greetings are self-adhesive, but I didn't trust it to stay stuck on that ribbon.  More glue.

Pop the whole thing up with foam tape on the Poppy Parade card base.


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
  • Basic White:  4" x 5", cut with Postage Stamp dies (mine are from Unity Stamp Co.)
  • North Pole Delivery DSP (dotted print):  3 1/4" x 4 3/8"
  • North Pole Delivery DSP (red graph print):  1" x 3 1/4"
  • North Pole Delivery DSP:  ephemera pieces for each card
There is NO stamping on these cards!  I used ephemera pieces from the DSP pack, and then the Greetings for You Mi & Match ephemera.  The gold in the greeting pieces are a nice pop!

I finished with some old Fine Sparkle Gems.  They were Calypso Coral, but I colored them with a Poppy Parade Dark Stampin' Blend so they matched.

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

Stamps: None
Ink:  None
Paper: Poppy Parade, Basic White, North Pole Delivery Designer series paper
Other: Fine Sparkle Gems, Poppy Parade Dark Stampin' Blend, Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera, Real Red 1/2" Shiny ribbon

I wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving this week!  Enjoy your time with family, friends, yourself - whoever you spend the day with.  Enjoy yourself!

I won't be live this Thursday....because I'll either be doing dishes from our own dinner, or I'll be in a turkey coma.  I will be back on Saturday for what I hope is the FINAL segment of my Keeping Traditions Mini Album videos.  I love how that mini album is coming along!

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!
