CARD: Most Wonderful Time Double Z Fold Card

DOUBLE Z FOLD CARD

I just love fun folds. This one is called a "Double Z Fold", and it's really easy to make. I have a video tutorial on the Double Z Fold here. This card was created with the Stampin Up Most Wonderful Time Product Medley. This is a fantastic kit that contains almost everything for this card with the exception of ink, card stock and adhesive. Even that gorgeous gold foil designer paper comes in the kit. Check out my video class featuring this kit for more ideas.

The words are cut with the Tailored Tag Punch.

Mystery Box Mark Downs and the final days of my De-Stash Sale ends December 4

Mystery Box Mark Downs

Ends Wednesday, December 4 Over the past week I've been holding a Mystery Box "Destash" sale on my personal Stampin Up products from the past 10 years. Some of it was painful to say goodbye to, but I need to "de-stash", so I can "re-stash". All of my old Stampin Up crafting products need to go to good loving homes. Each box is full of different fun surprises. These are stuffed (and I do mean stuffed) USPS Medium Flat Rate Boxes full of a variety of products. We are down to the last few boxes. Since I am heading on vacation on December 5 and won't be able to ship, I'm going to end the Mystery Box sale on December 4. I am marking down the remaining boxes from $75 to $60! Pick up an extra, grab a few, or just stock up on your own stash. But hurry, these are going away.

The front panels are cut from the Stitched rectangles dies. The back panel is embossed with the Stylish Scroll folder. Accents inside also include the Wrapped in Plaid Designer Paper. This card was created by Stamp It Demonstrator Shannon Hatch.

Shannon's accordion fold is very easy to make, and is a wow card. It is created with a center panel that is attached to the front and back panels.

CARD: ‘Tis the Season to be Jolly as Santa comes down the chimney

CARD

'Tis the Season! Today is Black Friday which means "sales & shopping".

Which reminds me of one of my favorite Santa cards..."Coming Down the Chimney". I created this card with the Stampin’ Up! Holly Jolly Bundle, Brick & Mortar Folder and Black Foil. With a touch of shimmer mist for sparkle, which I created with the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol.

The picture frame is created with the Heirloom Frames Dies and 3D Embossing Folder. I shared how to use this set on yesterday's Shimmery Winter Frames video class. Check it out for more ideas. The background was created with the Brick & Mortar embossing folder.
