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″
  • Basic White Cardstock: 5″ x 2″ (to stamp trucks); scraps for trees & sentiment oval

Horse & Sleigh Fun Fold Card

Are you ready for another holiday card? This fun fold design features the Horse & Sleigh Bundle and the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper to create a beauty card. The fun fold is what I call an accordion step card. Can you think of a better name?

When I first saw the Horse & Sleigh Bundle, I knew that I “had to have” it! The products are not found in the catalogs but are Online Exclusive Products.  When visiting my online store, check out the Online Exclusive tab.  With the designs in the One Horse Open Sleigh paper, there are numerous backgrounds that can be created. This is one of the cards from the September card class. If you’d like to order my future class kits, just send me an email and I’ll send you information on my upcoming classes.

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.

Floating Panel Card

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:

Christmas Banner Holiday Card

Today’s project features a Christmas Banner holiday card that is easy for mass production.  There’s little stamping and the use of designer series paper layered onto cardstock completes the look.  While I am using non-traditional colors, it’s easy to swap out the colors and use a designer series paper with a traditional holiday color scheme.  Watch the video below to see how simple it is to make the Christmas Banner card.  NOTE: The Christmas Banner Bundle is retiring soon!  Order it soon – then you will have it available to use on next year’s holiday cards!
