Let it Snow! Swing Card

 Let it snow...but not yet! Let's enjoy autumn.

For today's card I used the Peaceful Prints DSP. I love Stampin' Up's double-sided paper. 

Of course the little critters from the Penguin Playmates had to make an appearance.

This card is called a swing card. When the card is opened the centerpiece swings so that it is visible on the inside. I saw the tutorial on Lisa's Stamp Studio https://lisasstampstudio.com/2021/09/diy-handmade-pop-out-swing-card-tutorial.html. 

The 'Let it Snow' sentiment is from the Snowman Season stamp set, available in the Annual Catalogue 2021-2022

Have you started your Christmas/Holiday cards yet?

Until next time.

Triangle Fold Card

 Fun folds add such interest to cards. I don't know why I've never made this fun fold. It's so easy. Just one cut and two scores lines.

From an 8.5" x 11" sheet of card stock you can make 2 cards. 

Here's the recipe:

Card stock base: 8.5" x 11" piece of card stock, score at 4.25" then rotate and score at 5.5". With the card stock in the portrait position (the 8.5" side at the top), cut diagonally from one corner to the other ** note that the card stock will be too large to fit into the SU trimmer ( I used an exacto knife and a ruler). Burnish the score lines and decorate with DSP, a sentiment and  embellishments as desired. A 4"x 5.25" piece of Basic White on the inside of the card provides lots of room for a sentiment.

For this card I used the Penguin Playmates DSP and Soft Seafoam card stock. I added a Wonderful Snowflake and Opal Rounds for some texture.

Give this fun fold a try, it's perfect for any occasion.

Until next time....

Christmas Friends

 Hello,

The Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper has the cutest images. The paper is great to use for Christmas cards or winter seasonal cards. For this card I used a couple coordinating products from Stampin' Up. The sentiment is from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set which was stamped on one of the Layering Diorama dies. 

One of my favourite things from Stampin' Up is their coordination of products. The products truly are mix and match.

Here's the recipe: 

Base: Fresh Freesia cardstock- 4 1/4 x 11,  scored at 5 1/2

DSP: 4 x 5 1/4

Images: fussy cut from Penguin Playmates DSP

Sentiment- Holly Holly Wishes Stamp Set

Sentiment base: Basic White cut from Layering Diorama Die Set

Embellishments: Snowflake Sequins

Until next time. Happy crafting!
