Festive Holidays - October Class
10/27/2023
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
- Stampin’ Blends: Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Bronze
- 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)

- Stampin’ Blends: Real Red

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”

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.
