My project for this hop is the Triple Pocket Twist. This fold was on Splitcoaststampers, and was created by Twilla Davis.   The DSP is from Beauty of the Earth. This set of paper is perfect for year-round since there are samples representing winter, spring, summer, and fall. This pattern is ideal for a Thanksgiving theme.  Here is the video for more directions. Triple Pocket Twist

Cut List

1. 8-1/4" x 8-1/8" Cajun Craze, scoring on the 8-1/4" side at 4-1/8"

2.  Rotate and score on the 8 1/8" side at 1/2", 2 7/8", 5 1/4", & 7 5/8".

3.  Flip over and score diagonally from the top of the 1/2" scoreline to the bottom 3rd scoreline. Turn around and do the same.

4. Trim away parts of the 1/2" scorelines as shown in picture. Add adhesive to flaps.

 

5. Cut one 4" x 2 1/4" and two 3 7/8" x 2 1/4" pieces of patterned paper.

Take the 2 smaller pieces and cut into triangles, being sure to cut from bottom left to top right.

6. Adhere to the card base. I did take pictures, but my camera died, and no more pictures. I did take a picture of the card folded after the Tear and Taped pieces were attached. Here is what it looks like. But before I took off the release sheet, I made sure that all the folds were creased backwards and forwards so that the card would fold easily.

7. Create a belly band from 1" x11." Attach the Gold Shimmer Vellum label die-cut from the Tasteful Label Dies. Thanksgiving was die-cut from Cajun Craze using the Word Wishes Dies. Embellish with Holiday Rhinestone Basic Gems. Add the gift card before folding up.

I love M&M's, and this treat holder is perfect for those mini-M&M's. I found the food grade tubes at Amazon. I used the Cute Halloween 6"x6" DSP  for the decorating of this box. Using many of the various sheets to create this colorful treat that anyone would be happy to receive. 

I have a tutorial created from previous paper that gives all the supplies and measurements in both Imperial and Metric. Please ask for it in the comments below. I will include the basic cut directions here.

Luv 2 Stamp Blog Hop Birthday Blackberry Beauty Criss-Cross Card

 Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2021 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you this year. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations using Stampin’ Up! products. When you have completed each post, be sure to scroll down to the bottom and you will see the list of Blog Hop Participants. You may either click on their name to go to their post or click the NEXT button.  Happy Crafting, and I hope you enjoy this month’s theme: Birthdays!

My order of Blackberry Beauty finally came last night. I could now begin creating with this lovely suite of products. I can see these products being used to make all kinds of cards, not just birthday cards. 

I decided to try a card that I have never tried before. I made a vertical and horizontal Criss-Cross Fold Over card and decorated envelopes. I took inspiration from Rachel Tessman.

Looking at these gorgeous papers I saw the owls right away. I couldn't help but think about the owl in Harry Potter! This owl is bringing birthday wishes for one lucky person!

I used the same paper but I just folded them slightly different, decorating with the Blackberry Ephemera pack. This awesome package contains ready-to-use pieces that match perfectly with this DSP. I changed up the labels, adding  brushed metallic DSP  to one, the new Brushed Metallic Adhesive Dots on two, and the lovely Gold Shimmer Ribbon on the other. The Basic White piece is an insert where I stamped Happy Birthday on the top of the cardstock with Blackberry Bliss Ink using the birthday stamp from Sweet as a Peach Polymer Stamp Set. 

Check out the video from Rachel Tessman for step-by-step directions:

  • Scrap for stamping and die-cutting labels
    
• Blackberry Beauty Designer Paper
  • 4” x 5-1/4”
  • 2-1/2" x 6-1/2" (for the envelope)

Luv 2 Stamp Blog Hop Christmas Wise Men Shaker Card

d

 

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2021 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you this year. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations using Stampin’ Up! products.

When you have completed each post, be sure to scroll down to the bottom and you will see the list of Blog Hop Participants. You may either click on their name to go to their post or click the NEXT button.  Happy Crafting, and I hope you enjoy this month’s theme:Christmas.

 

My favorite stamp set in all of the July-December  Mini Catalog is the Wise Men Bundle, so I knew I wanted to try this for my creation this month. I am pairing this with my other top choices, Peaceful Place, Silver Foil Specialty Paper, the Merry Melody 3-D Embossing Folder, and Subtle Shimmer Sequins to make this a shaker card.

Since the intricate die for the Wise Men is very detailed and more square than rectangular in shape. I changed the size from an A-2 card to 5-1/2" x 5-1/2". It should fit in a 6" x 6" envelope. Here are the measurements for this card if you would like to try!

Basic Gray  Card Base                 5-1/2" x 5-1/2"

Silver Foil Specialty Pack            5-1/4" x 5-1/4" (Emboss with Merry Melody Embossing Folder)

Peaceful Place DSP                       4-1/4" x 4-1/2" (Cut out with the Moroccan influenced die)

Basic White                                   (Die cut the 3 wise men.  Color with Stampin' Blends of your choice.)

Basic Gray                                     5-1/4" x 5-1/4" (Inside piece)

In order to make the shaker card, I used 2 plastic sheets cut smaller than the Peaceful Place DSP. Attach one and use the adhesive foam to create your well. Add the Subtle Shimmer Sequins to the "well." Adhere the second plastic sheet. Add this piece to the layered base, as shown. Place the die cut wise men and position with Dimensionals. Create  a sentiment tag and heat emboss the star and the Wise men still seek Him. Adhere flat on top of the wise men. Glue Smoke Grey piece on the inside to allow for stamping and writing a message .

Are you ready to start making Christmas cards yet?

This thank you card uses the new Harvest Meadow Suite from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. I brought my pre-order materials to see my upline, Cindee Wilkinson. We just started stamping and die cutting the stamped pieces. My favorite piece is  cut from the new Cork DSP. This textured paper is perfect for the tan wheat branches. The other sheaf is cut from Soft Succulent. The Bumbee-colored flowers are cut from the Harvest Meadow DSP. There is just the right amount of print!

The Base is Moonlight Madness matted with the Harvest DSP. Colors and Contours is used for the Basic White layer. Thank you is stamped in Moonlight Madness. I embellished with the new 2020-2022 In Color Square Gems from the Annual Catalog. I created matching ribbon by coloring the Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon with the Dark Moonlight Madness Stampin' Blend Pen. Be sure to use the brush tip turned on the side to color the ribbon. Don;t forget to decorate the inside of the card!

This thank you card will be given to  anyone ordering $50 or more from my online store. I can't help but want to show off these beautiful crafting materials!
