Pop Up Freezin'fun Christmas Card

 Hello, Thank you for popping by to look at my blog today. I am going to share a card I made for my Inspiration Wednesday Facebook live session last week. I love a fun stamp set to use every so often as I love to use a variety in my projects. So I picked up the freezin'fun bundle and got to work. 

This project is a fun pop up card that folds flat for postage to it's recipient. It can be used for any papers and stamp sets, there are quite a few on Pinterest that show how this card fold has been used.

Seaside Spray cardstock

Piece 1 cut to 11 ½ x 4 inches

Piece 2 cut to 5 ½ x 3 inches

Score large piece along the long side at 5 ¾, 7 ¼, 9 ½ and 11 inches

Score smaller piece along the long side at ½ and 2 inches

Burnish all score lines

Before adhering the card front you will need to decide your background paper or stamped design and adhere or stamp prior to making up the card box front.

I have used one of the sheets form the feels like frost papers in the mini Christmas catalogue as my background 

On the picture you can see the tape across the narrower folded end this will be folded under to adhere to the card front.

This picture shows the card flattened with the base box made

I have applied tear and tape to the narrow fold (not seen in this picture and some to the back of this box. You can use the glue that you are happy with but this showed up best for the photo!

This is how your box card will look from the side 

To finish my card I put another piece of seaside spray card cut at

4 x 2inches and put inside the lower box

On the back I cut out a piece of whisper white card stock and 4 x 2 ¾ inches attached a sentiment and decorated as photo below

Thank you for taking time to have a look. Below is a list of some of the products used to make this care. they link directly to my stampin'up shop. 

until next time

Peace and Joy meets snowflake splendor

 Hello again,

Thank you for taking a look at my blog. 

 Today I would like to share with you a card I made for my Facebook live recently using the Snowflake splendor stamps and dies and the peace and joy stamps and dies. 

It is so good that stampin'up products mix and match with each other given you more creativity. I decided to go sparkly with this one. Can't have too much sparkle at Christmas!! 

The card base is 14 x 14 cm 

The colours used are balmy blue cardstock 11 x 11 cm  , balmy blue sparkly paper 10.5 x 10. 5 cm , small piece silver foil card for snowflake and whisper white 10x 10 cm.

The whisper white paper was  embossed using the snowflake embossing folder. The largest snowflake was cut out using the largest snowflake die into the whisper white embossed card. 

I stamped and embossed a silver snowflake then die cut. die cut a balmy blue sparkly snowflake and a silver snowflake.

The Joy was die cut form the peace and joy set in both whisper white and balmy blue sparkly card. 

To the World was stamped onto white cardstock in balmy blue and cut close to the edge.

The  card  was made up in layers see photo, the centre of the large snowflake was made up then adhere to the embossed card using dimensionals.

the Joy was adhered using some small slither of dimensionals ( from edge)

Thank you for taking a look at my blog, I look forward to sharing with you some more ideas in the coming days. 

hugs and blessings
