Trucking Along – Tree Farm Holiday Card

The Tree Farm holiday card features the Trucking Along Bundle and the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper.  It is a card design that was inspired by the beautiful designer series paper.  The illusion of a hill is perfect for a couple of tree farm trucks.  And the trucks bringing Christmas trees down the hill in the winter forest is perfect for a fun holiday card.  I’ve included the cut dimensions and an assembly video below so you can recreate the card. You will find both the Trucking Along Bundle and the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper in the Online Exclusives section of my Stampin’ Up! store.  

Cut Dimensions for the Trucking Along – Tree Farm Holiday Card:
  • Card Base: use the large Memories & More Card Base & Envelope
  • Real Red Cardstock layer: 6-1/8″ x 4-1/8″; scrap for sentiment punch
  • One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper: 6″ x 4″

Joy of Noel Holiday Card

This month the theme for card classes is Thinking of Christmas. Four cards featuring holiday theme were created using a different bundle. The Joy of Noel is one of the featured bundles. With the bundle and the Joyful Specialty Designer Series Paper, creating an elegant card is easy! The dies do the majority of the work and the designer series paper provides a gorgeous background. For the Joy of Noel Holiday card, stamping is minimal. Just stamp the word, Noel, and die cut with the coordinating dies to create the card front focal point. If you wanted, the letters could be die cut from another designer paper or cardstock making it even simpler.

If you’d like to recreate this card, the video below will guide you through the steps of creating the elegant card.

It’s a Zany Zoo Birthday

Can you believe it’s August! I know time seems to be flying by. Even though it’s August, I’m still sharing cards from the July card class featuring the Zany Zoo Bundle. This week’s card is a Zany Zoo Birthday Card. The whimsical card is appropriate for all ages but would be especially good for those hard to create preteen/teen cards. At least, for me those are the ages that challenge me when cardmaking. As in my last post featuring the Zany Zoo Bundle, the coordinating Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper is used for the characters. And since the turtle has the microphone (singing Happy Birthday), the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder creates a perfect base for the singer and his dancers. Below you’ll find cut dimensions and a video to help you recreate this fun card.

It’s A Zany Zoo Birthday Card Cut Dimensions:
  • Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ (score/fold at 4-1/4″ for card base)
  • Basic Black Cardstock: 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ (layering panel); scrap (die cut)
  • Basic White Cardstock: (2) 5-1/4″ x 4″ (embossing & card interior); scrap (sentiment)
  • Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper: fussy cutting & die cutting

The fun characters on this card make me smile!

Zany Zoo – Forest Friends Hello

If you’re looking for a fun stamp set, look no further!  The Zany Zoo Bundle from Stampin’ Up! is it.  And to make the fun even better, add the coordinating Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper and you have a multitude of project possibilities.  For today’s project, the card is titled “forest friends” for the skunk and bird image.  This image has a stamp but for the card the coordinating die and designer series paper image were used.  You’ll find the sentiment in the Artistically Inked Stamp Set or select your favorite sentiment. To embellish the envelope, the image is stamped and colored using Stampin’ Blends.
