Let’s get ready for the holidays!  Here are the cards from Festive Holidays class.  All of these cute animals are from the Festive & Fun and Beary Cute stamp sets. Plus we used the Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs and Merry Bold & Bright or Beary Christmas designer series paper on each card.  You can check out in the holiday mini catalog. Recipes are included with each project and the supply details are listed at the end of this post.  Thanks for stopping by!

Card 1: Giraffe Christmas

How handy to have a giraffe helping to decorate your tree.  More decorations were added to the tree using the Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs. The card front is scored 1 ½” from the edge and folded back to create a pocket to tuck in a gift card or other special treat. Secure the sides of the pocket with Tear n tape or liquid glue.  For additional shimmer, I colored the star, ornaments and hat with Wink of Stella.

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Set: Festive & Fun
• Merry Bold & Bright DSP 1 ½ x 5 ½”
• Granny Apple Green cardstock 8 ½ x 5 ½”, scored at 1 ½” and 4 ¼” on the 8 ½” edge
• Basic Black cardstock 2 ¾ x 4 ½”
• Basic White cardstock 2 ½ x 4 ¼”
• Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs
• Ink Pad: Memento Tuxedo Black

• Wink of Stella

Card 2: Rhino & Gifts

This cute rhino is delivering gifts along with his feathered friends.  Instead of coloring the entire image, I chose to feature one color to make the image pop, which was Real Red.  It also highlights the feeling of snow along with the background being embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.  For additional shimmer, I colored over the red with Wink of Stella.

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Set: Festive & Fun
• Basic White cardstock 8 ½ x 5 ½ (card base), 4 x 5 ¼” (embossed background), 2 ½ x 3 ¼” (to stamp image)
• Basic Black cardstock 2 ¾ x 3 ½”
• Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs
• Ink Pad: Memento Tuxedo Black
• Stampin’ Blends: Real Red
• Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder
• Wink of Stella

Card 3: Moose & Beaver Card

Check out the moose and beaver gift exchange!  The images were stamped on crumb cake to give it more of a rustic and forest feel.

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Set: Festive & Fun
• Merry Bold & Bright DSP 3 x 4”
• Lemon Lime Twist cardstock 8 ½ x 5 ½”
• Basic Black cardstock 3 ¾ x 2 ¾”
• Crumb Cake cardstock 3 ½ x 2 ½”
• Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs
• Ink Pad: Memento Tuxedo Black
• Stampin’ Blends: Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Lemon Lime Twist, Ivory
• White Chalk Marker (retired)
• Wink of Stella

Card 4: Polar Bears Surprise

This pair of polar bears are on top of a fold up flap that you can attach a gift card to.  Just pull the white bakers twine and snowflake tab on the bottom to reveal the surprise.  Thanks to Dawn Griffith for teaching me how to do this.  You can check out her video here (it’s card #2) to see how she made her card.  Instead of using a die to create the tab slit, I used a 1/8" circle punch to mark each end and then cut a slit between the holes using my paper trimmer.  See photo.

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Set: Beary Cute*
• Beary Christmas DSP 4 ¾ x 3 ½”
• Basic White cardstock:
• 8 ½ x 5 ½” for card base
• 2 x 6” scored at 2” and 2 ½” on 6” end for the tab pull; punch the end that is not scored using the Sparkling Snowflakes Tag Topper
• 3 ½ x 2 ½” for stamped piece with small polar bear and sentiment
• Piece to stamp and punch large polar bear
• Night of Navy cardstock 2 ¾ x 3 ¾” and 3 ¾ x 5”
• Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs

Featured items used for class (not an all-inclusive list):

Here are the cards from my Summer Pals class.  Most of the cards feature designer series paper—we are having a special this month for 15% off selected DSP.  All of the cards use one of my favorite new embellishments—2022-2024 In Color Pearls (self adhesive). The colors are iridescent and take on hues of the colors it is used with so they complement many combinations. Recipes are included with each project and the supply details are listed at the end of this post.  Thanks for stopping by!

Card 1: Best Pals

This card features the By My Side stamp set, new Bright & Beautiful DSP, and several of the new colors (Lemon Lime Twist, Blueberry Bushel, and Berry Burst).  Choose your favorite pal and color using blends in coordinating colors.

Tips:

1. Stamp the images before die cutting the circle so that you can control placement because this is not a photopolymer set.
2. Use a mini glue dot to adhere the flower. An added bonus is that the adhesive will also show through the center of the flower and allow extra stickiness for your pearl.

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Sets: By My Side, Circle Sayings (sentiment)
• Dies: Zany Zoo (for small flower); Stylish Shapes (for 2 ½” circle)
• Bright & Beautiful DSP 2 x 5 1/4”
• Lemon Lime Twist cardstock 8 ½ x 5 ½”
• Blueberry Bushel cardstock 2 ¾ x 2 ¾”
• Basic White cardstock for 2 ½” die cut circle, piece to stamp and cut out dog
• Berry Burst for small die cut flower
• Ink Pad: Memento Tuxedo Black
• Stampin’ Blends: Petal Pink, Bronze, Bubble Bath, Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lime Twist, Crumb Cake
• 2022-2024 In Color Pearls

Card 2: Little Bird

I just love this cute little bird with glasses.  There are other birds in the set with other glasses, even spectacles!  This is a panel card where the panels overlap in the front by 1”.  The layered circles are attached to the left flap and the right flap is tucked under the layered circles to hold the card closed (see top view). 

Tips:

1. For card base, fold panels on score marks. In my card, I have the 2 ¾” panel on the left and the 3 ¼” panel on the right. 
2. Attach the Berry Burst piece to the left panel and the DSP to the right panel.
3. Fold the card so that the right panel overlaps the left panel.
4. Place dimensionals on left half of the layered circles with your stamped image. Then attach it to the left panel while the card is folded closed.  Make sure that your dimensionals only attach to the left panel.
5. You can open your card, then close it by tucking it under the circle.
6. Use a mini glue dot to adhere the flower. An added bonus is that the adhesive will also show through the center of the flower and allow extra stickiness for your pearl.

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Sets: Bird's Eye View, Just My Type (for sentiment)
• Dies: Zany Zoo (for small flower); Stylish Shapes (for 2 ½” circle)
• Bright & Beautiful DSP 3 x 4”
• Fresh Freesia cardstock 4 ¼ x 11”, scored at 2 ¾” and 7 ¾”
• Berry Burst cardstock 4 x 2 ½” and for small die cut flower
• Lemon Lime Twist cardstock for 2 ½” die cut circle
• Basic White 2 3/8” punched circle
• 2 3/8” Circle Punch
• Ink Pad: Memento Tuxedo Black
• Stampin’ Blends: Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lime Twist
• Stampin’ Write Marker: Early Espresso
• 2022-2024 In Color Pearls

Card 3: Playing in the Rain

This card features the rabbit from the Playing in the Rain stamp set.  I also have one with the turtle from the same set.  They were cut out using the coordinating dies and feature the Glorious Gingham DSP.

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Sets: Playing In the Rain, Zany Zoo (sentiment), Share a Milkshake (sentiment)

• Stampin’ Blends: Petal Pink, Crumb Cake, Berry Burst, Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Pool Party
• 2022-2024 In Color Pearls

Card 4: My Type

This retro typewriter brings back memories of typing class with all of its unique sounds—like the clackety clack of the keys and the ding of the bell when you get to the end of the row.  I like the typewriter font and nostalgic feeling of this set.  This is a panel card, scored at 2 1/8” from each side.  The image is attached to the left panel using dimensionals.  An eraser top stamped in Lost Lagoon ink was used to create the polka dots on the left panel.

Here is the recipe:

• Lost Lagoon cardstock 8 ½ x 5 ½”, scored at 2 1/8”, 6 3/8”
