November is here and it’s not too early to start thinking of Christmas cards. Last month’s card class theme, All About Christmas, celebrated the upcoming season. One of the cards from the class is a beautiful fun fold card featuring the Sentimental Wishes Bundle. Not only does this card feature the bundle but it also highlights the gorgeous Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP). See the stocking and bow on the card front, it’s die cut from the DSP. I am giving you fair warning – you’ll be cutting lots of pieces for layering! But it’s the multiple layers that make this fun fold even more special. So, my suggestion is to cut multiples of the layering panels for several cards at once. If your time is limited, you’ll have everything prepped to assemble at your leisure.
You’ll find an assembly video and the cutting dimensions below the card’s photo.

Using the coordinating two stamp bundles in the suite along with the gorgeous Seasons of Green & Gold Designer Series Paper makes it easy to create a beautiful card.

It’s two weeks until Christmas…are your gifts wrapped yet? I still have gifts to wrap but am ready with gift tags for the presents. In last month’s card class, we made Christmas gift tags using the Sending Cheer Bundle from the Sept-Dec. Mini Catalog from Stampin’ Up! Combining the Sending Cheer Christmas gift tags with the Tailor Made Tags Dies makes creating quick and easy. Need multiples?…It’s a breeze to do! To add “a little extra” use the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder but you can substitute with any embossing folder.
If you haven’t purchased the Sending Cheer Bundle – act fast! It’s on the Last Chance retiring list. It may not arrive in time to use for this Christmas but you’ll have it for next year. Plus there are elements appropriate for year round use. In addition, the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder is also retiring and is currently discounted too.
Cut Dimensions:
Basic White Cardstock: (3) 2-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ for tag die cuts; 2″ x 4″ (3) for stamping
Real Red Cardstock: 2-1/4″ x4-1/4″ (tag die cut), scrap for sentiment layering
Smoky Slate Cardstock: 2-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ (tag die cut)
Basic Black Cardstock: 2-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ (tag die cut)
Red & White Glitter Paper (retired): 2-1/2″ x 2″ for die cut on presents (or use cardstock and add shimmer with Wink of Stella)

Happy Holidays! I hope your Christmas or Hannukah celebrations were memorable and shared with those you love. We celebrated Christmas with our sons and their families. We feel blessed and fortunate to have been able to enjoy the holiday with them.
And yes, Christmas has already come but I’m sharing a holiday card (was just too busy with holiday tasks to spend time blogging!). However, I thought you would enjoy the technique on this card. It’s a floating panel card and is easily adapted by changing the papers and sentiment. The floating panel technique makes the card unique. Plus you can use all those strips of paper you’ve been saving!
Below is the list of project materials for this card and a video tutorial highlighting the Floating Frame technique:
