Season's Greetings fun fold with Traditions of Christmas

 I decided upon a fun fold card for today's project.  I wanted to continue using the Traditions of Christmas suite and the swag image from Christmas Greenery lent itself nicely for this fold. I do love this stamp/die bundle as it makes card making so quick, easy and beautiful.  It is very versatile and will work for most any occasion.  As the Christmas Greenery stamps do not contain any sentiments, you can grab any sentiment you have in your stash, change the floral colors and voila, you have a beautiful card.  Add a little designer series paper or some embossed cardstock and your card is finished in record time.  I'll try to remember to post a card using the fall bouquet I made as some added inspiration over on my Facebook page.  To watch the video tutorial on how I made this particular card, please head on over to my YouTube channel by clicking this link.




Supplies and Measurements:
Christmas Greenery bundle* 165873

Traditional Sparkling Sequins165875

A Stampin' Up! sketch card with the 2025 Crafting Advent Calendar stamps

I recently received the new 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar for 2025 by Stampin' Up!  I wanted to see what it was all about.  My friend Tracy suggested I open one window each day and try to make a card with the contents.  Today is Day 1 and I started with just the stamps.  The stamps are all occasion stamps, even though the box itself is decorated for Christmas.  I thought I would make a card for a December birthday, using just the stamps and some additional cardstock/DSP.  Stampin' Up! sent out some sketches to those of us who participated in World Card Making Day last Saturday.  I decided to incorporate one of those sketches into my project for today.  

You will find the video tutorial for this card over on my YouTube channel.





Measurements and Supplies:
12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar 167335 (just the stamps for today)
The Right Words 165316 (for inside sentiment)
    2 pieces 1 7/8" x 5" (different patterns, I used the front and back of one sheet for mine)
Old Olive two-tone cardstock 2 5/8" x 2 7/8" (2 pieces, use one side light and one side dark)
    two pieces 1/2" x 3 5/8" for inside (one light side, one dark)
Basic White cardstock for stamping images & inside layer 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"
Thick Basic White cardstock for card base 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored in center at 4 1/4"
nail buffing block or light sandpaper
Ink Pads: Pool Party, Pretty in Pink, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Darling Duckling

Hello and welcome back to my blog.  Today I'm sharing a treat box I made with the Party Banner dies.  I had seen Ronda Wade make a box using the banner dies so I decided to create one for myself.  Because it's the beginning of October and Breast Cancer Awareness month, I thought it only fitting to create a box using the Love & Courage stamp set.  This set is the Making a Difference fundraiser for Stampin' Up!  $3 of each stamp set purchased is donated to a breast cancer organization in each of their markets around the world.  I've used multiple techniques in the creation of the box so be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.
