"Year of Cheer" Specialty Paper & "Flurry of Wishes" Stamp Set by StampinUP

 This fun fold Christmas Card was a recent class project.
(Just a normal looking card from the front).

The white card stock is actually cut apart to have 2 separate pcs. for front & back.
I used Sahara Sand Card Stock for the inside (scored to fold in 2 places)

You can see what this fun "Z-Fold" card looks like standing up.
I used a couple new items from the StampinUP Holiday Catalog
 
-  Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper
-  Foil Snowflakes
 
Both of these items are shown on pg. 37 & if you still need
a new Holiday book, please let me know.
 
I appreciate you blogging by.........Lori

Eastern Palace Suite (Annual StampinUP Catalog- pgs. 18 & 19)

I'm still in love with the "Eastern Beauty" Stamp Set, "Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper"
and the "Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies" !!

The "Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers" and "Mini Tassels" are pretty cool too  : )

 
 Check out this recent class project which is a fun fold (Bridge Card).
Color Scheme:  Dapper Denim, Lemon Lime Twist and Vanilla
Both sentiments come from the Hostess Set "Background Bits".


This is a view from the top looking down on the 3-D card.
It really is a fairly simple fun fold to make.
Please feel free to comment here if you need further directions for scoring etc.


I found these images on-line that were made by StampinUP Artists.
If you already own this stamp set & thinlit bundle OR are thinking of getting them,
you might want to check Pinterest for some fabulous inspiration!!

I appreciate you blogging by.  I'm here to answer any questions that you may have
and would love to be your "go-to" StampinUP Demo if you need one.
Thanks very much- Lori

 The "Merry Music" Specialty Designer Series Paper is a winner in my book!
 I used 3 separate pcs. of that paper on this Christmas Card.

I used the Starburst Punch for the sentiment from "Merry Little Labels".
The Happy Christmas saying comes from "Oh, What Fun".

Please contact me for scoring directions or other questions about my sample.

I appreciate you stopping by.......Lori

Gotta Love that Spooky Cat Stamp Set & Cat Punch by StampinUP!!


 I used 3 pcs. of the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper on this card.
Yes, in case you don't know- that pumpkin was NOT stamped!
I simply cut it from a sheet of the designer paper- easy peasy  :)

I made a shadow around the cat by just snipping a black cat in half (sorry- does not sound good)
When its paper, its allowed though!  Just cut vertically and extend to the left & right.

The Hearth & Home Thinlits were used for the window and sill.

Color Combo includes Pumpkin Pie, Black, and Vanilla



THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.........LORI
