Assorted Christmas Cards

Hi friends – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m popping in today with an assortment of Christmas cards that we sent out this year. After moving in May, I still have boxes (and more boxes, lol) of cards stored in a closet, and didn’t really want to go through them to decide which ones to send to which person or family. That daunting task is looming overhead anyway because I will be donating most (or all) of them… hopefully by this summer.

I typically set different ones aside as I make them throughout the year to save for certain people on my list, but I didn’t do that this year. I ended up making a large batch of a simple whimsical deer design that worked up pretty quickly doing the assembly line thing (lol) with some of my favorite STAMPlorations stamps and dies.

Hey everybody, happy Friday! Can you believe it’s the first Friday of the last month of the year?! Just like the last several, this year has flown by! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Creative Creases and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #110. This is my last post as a Creative Creases designer and I sure have enjoyed myself this year! I love the Match Book line over at Art Impressions and have quite a few of them. Believe it or not, I still have a few in my stash that I haven’t made AND there are some fairly new ones on the Ai website that I haven’t added to my stash yet. I’m such a sucker for gnomes and really had fun with this one!

Using the Art Impressions Match Book Template dies, I cut the base from Waffle Flower Gingham paper. I stamped all the components in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock using the Art Impressions Gnome Home Match Book stamps. I colored them with Copic Ciao alcohol markers and cut them with the included dies.

As I always say, the assembly is the most fun and it was very rewarding seeing this adorable little scene come together! Here are some angled shots along with one showing the teeny tiny envelope (cut with the Art Impressions Match Book Envelope dies).

Let It Snow

Howdy peeps – happy weekend! I hope you have something fun planned! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple project that I created for the How-To’s section on our website. This simple Z-fold features primarily papers, stamps and dies from the Snow Day collection. This particular version is my own design that typically showcases three patterned papers, however, I decided on just two patterned papers for this card because I love that plaid so much!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Navy Blue cardstock along with layering panels from a couple prints in the Snow Day collection. I stamped the snow globe (from the Snow Globe Collection Stamps) on Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut it with the coordinating Snow Globe Outline Die. I stamped the snowman inside the globe and colored him with Copic Ciao alcohol markers. I used Catherine Pooler Stone Blue and Tranquil inks for the larger snowflakes (popped up on foam squares) and the snowflake background. The finishing touch was adding a few Back To Basics Royal Enamel Dots.

Here’s a final shot of the card opened up. The inside sentiment is from the Snow Day Collection Stamps. stamped in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink. I love all the blues on this… it screams winter! Be sure to check out my tutorial on the website if you want to learn how to make it! It’s simple and it’s fun!

Let’s Gather Together

Hey everybody – here’s wishing you a wonderful Wednesday! I have a pretty Z-fold for ScrapbookingStore to share with you today created with items in the November 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I love this simple Z-fold (this particular one is my own design) because it showcases three patterned papers at once. I also used a chipboard accent on the front of this along with a double-loop bow. LOVE how it turned out!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Pitch Black and adhered panels cut from three different patterned papers in the kit. I adhered a Spellbinders lacy circle die cut behind the chipboard accent on the front, and added a bow fashioned from Really Reasonable Ribbon green seam binding ribbon. The finishing touch was adding a few green enamel dots from Keep It Simple Paper Crafts.

I embellished the inside with sentiment and floral stickers from the sticker sheet, which completed the card.  Another easy card that would be so pretty to mass produce just to have extras in your stash.

Celebrate the Little Things

Howdy peeps – I hope you’re having a great week! It’s hard to believe Christmas is just a little more than a month away but I’m pretty much finished with my Christmas crafting. How about you? I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a side accordion panel card which is one of my favorite fun folds. I used Sunset Orange, Flame Orange, and White (all from our Lessebo line) which I paired with papers, ephemera and die cuts in my stash. I’m still trying to use up stuff in my stash rather than buy more and I actually think I’ve done pretty well. I totally love how this card turned out – everything coordinates really nicely!

I cut the card base and folded element from Lessebo Sunset Orange along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Stamp & Scrapbook Expo Celebrate The Little Things Collection Kit. I added some ephemera and die cuts from the same collection kit, layering the focal on the front on a circle die cut from Flame Orange cardstock. I finished off the front with some Trinity Stamps Topaz Twinkle rhinestones. I cut a panel for the back from Lessebo White and embellished it with a strip from the same collection kit, and left it blank to write a custom message. Be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog if you’d like to learn how to make this awesome card!

Welcome To Our Home

Howdy, folks – a very happy Monday to you all! I’m delighted to share a ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you today created with papers, journaling cards and a border sticker from the November 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I made an interior stair step card which is a new one to me although very similar to the front step card which is one of my all-time favorites that I’ve been making for years. I saw Connie Stewart’s fast-paced reel on Facebook a couple weeks ago and decided to give it a go. So glad I did – and you’ll be seeing this one again!

I used several coordinating papers for the front and inside of the card base. I trimmed a journaling card with sentiment to use as the focal element on the card front, and added a border sticker from the sticker sheet. 

The interior stair step boasts an additional journaling card which I trimmed to fit, and then I added a die cut kitty from the upgrades. Love, love, love how this turned out!

Best Memories

Hey everybody, happy Sunday – I hope you’re having a great weekend! I have a beautiful ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with papers and stickers from the November 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! You know how I love me some fun folds – and I spied this very cool accordion gate fold a few weeks back on Lisa Curcio’s blog HERE and just HAD to make it! And yes, it’s as easy as it looks… so easy that I didn’t even need to watch the video, lol!

This card is a basic gate fold design with the addition of a five-section accordion element that opens out on each side. I used several coordinating patterned papers from the collection for the base and the accordion element.

I embellished three of the five sections of the accordion element with stickers from the sticker sheet, leaving room on the center section for a signature.

Have a Magical holiday season

Hey everybody, happy Wednesday – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a circle pop-out card featuring papers, stamps and gold foil cardstock from the November Festive Tales release. I say all the time that Christmas is my favorite season and the products in this release are just wonderful! I made one of these circle pop-out cards for another design team and posted it just about a month ago, so I hope you don’t mind seeing another one! It really is easy and sure packs a punch, so be sure to check out my tutorial if you’d like to learn how to make it!

The card base and circles were cut from CutCardStock Lessebo Dawn Maroon cardstock. I chose a couple coordinating prints for the front layering panels and cut a couple narrow strips from gold foil cardstock. The sentiment circle was cut from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock, and I stamped a sentiment from the Merry Little Christmas stamp set on it in Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red ink.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock and embellished it with strips of the floral paper and gold foil cardstock used on the front. I stamped another sentiment from the same stamp set, which completed the card. Easy peasy! This is my last post for the Love From Lizi team and I sure have enjoyed the past year! Thanks to Lizi and Linh for having me along!

BRRRRR!

Hey everybody, happy Monday – can you believe we’re already on the down-slide to mid-November?! Christmas is on the way and I have THE perfect Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share with you! I created a snow globe box card and I’m proud to say it’s my own design. I shared my template about a month ago with the KIS owner and I believe a die set may be in the works! I’m SO excited! It was definitely a fun one and so rewarding watching it come together. I used papers, stamps and dies from our NEW Little Snowmen collection along with a few other items in the store.

I cut the snow globe layers from Neenah Classic Crest Recycled Classic Natural White and the background and snow banks from a snowflake pattern in the collection using our Back To Basics Stitched Circles Nested Dies and Wavy Border Dies. I cut the base from CutCardStock Lessebo Coffee Bean cardstock and used our older Hello Adventure Woodgrain background stamp which I have since discovered is no longer in stock. I apologize for that but any woodgrain background stamp or patterned cardstock would work. It just gives the base a little more of a realistic wooden feel.

I stamped the images and sentiment from the Little Snowmen Collection Stamps on the natural cardstock in Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I colored them with Copic Ciao alcohol markers and then restamped in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink to get nice crisp lines. I cut them all with the coordinating Little Snowmen Outline Dies and then assembled the card. Like I always say, the assembly is the most fun!

I embellished the back with a piece of gingham paper from the collection and then stamped a sentiment in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink.

Here are a couple additional angled shots. It folds flat for mailing. So fun – and I LOVE how it turned out! I made my original prototype with acetate on the first two layers to resemble a real snow globe and they were a bit too heavy. So I ended up using open frames on this second version which worked out better.

Happy Birthday tri-fold

Howdy peeps, happy first Friday in November! Only a few more weeks until the big guy in the red suit will be here! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Creative Creases and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #109. If you’re a fellow fun fold fanatic, come on over and play with us! I took a break from holiday crafting and have a birthday tri-fold to share. This isn’t your normal tri-fold… it boasts a hidden space for a gift card! I used a few Emily Moore Designs products for this – Gift Card Holder with a Bow Die, Birthday Tags (free digital download), Card Sentiment Dies and Birthday Sentiments Stamp Set.

I cut the two pieces for the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Salt Water Blue cardstock along with layering panels from the My Favorite Things Cheerful Plaid paper pad. I used the Salt Water Blue and Celebration Warehouse Light Blue glitter cardstock to create the angled stripe and the bow (using the Emily Moore Designs Gift Card Holder with a Bow Die). I downloaded the Birthday Tags from the Emily Moore Designs site and used the blue one with the candles for the focal on the front.

The magic is on the inside… it looks like a regular sentiment panel with a stamped sentiment from the Emily Moore Designs Birthday Sentiments Stamp Set which I embellished with a strip of plaid paper used on the front. There are tiny disc magnets keeping the flap closed. When the flap is pulled down, an area for a gift card is revealed (cut from Salt Water Blue cardstock using the Emily Moore Designs Card Sentiment Dies) which I embellished with more of the plaid paper. How stinkin’ fun is this?!
