Frosted Pinecone scalloped rectangle fun fold

For my card today I've combined several techniques along with a fun fold to make this beautiful holiday card.  I saw this fold the other day and decided to give it a try.  I didn't use anyone else's measurements so mine may not be exactly what someone else used.  I based mine on the stitched rectangle size embedded in the scalloped rectangle die.  While this card does take a bit of time, it's well worth it and is pretty simple to put together.  I hope you give it a try.  You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this direct link.

Throwback Merriest Trees meets Merry Mischief & hot foil

I had the idea for this card in my head but didn't have any current trees to make it come together.  The Merry Mischief bundle doesn't have trees because it has a giant mushroom house for the gnomes!  I love it so much; however, the mushroom wasn't what I was looking for in the moment.  I search my retired inventory and found the largest tree from Merriest Trees fit the idea perfectly.  It's whimsical and just the right size.  So, I grabbed it, added the gnome, then decorated with the Christmas Epoxy dots and I have to say, I love the way it turned out.  In case you hadn't noticed, there's a sneak peek of November Online Exclusives product on my card today.  I had to see if the new mulberry paper could be hot foiled, so I decided to give my Starry Night plate a try on the paper.  It worked so well!  I was actually quite surprised and I thought the fibers in the mulberry paper really add to the look of the night sky I was going for.  I created this project during a Thursday night live over on YouTube so you can head on over and watch the video tutorial by  clicking this direct link.

Magical Christmas hot foil dies 170592

It's beginning to taste like Christmas sketch card

 For my sneak peek card today, I've taken a sketch from Marisa Alvarez and combined new products arriving in my online store on September 3.  I know it's a little early for Christmas, but I do love this set and couldn't wait to try out the new products.  I hope you will consider this bundle.  Don't be fooled, when combined with other products, it's definitely NOT just for Christmas.  Be sure to check out Wednesday's post for a fall themed card combining this set with More than Autumn.  It's also perfect for home baked goods any time of the year.  You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel and see how I put it together.  This sketch is very versatile and easy to recreate using any stamps you may already have on hand.

1/2 sheet fold flat box using July 2025 Online Exclusives

 Hello again.  I'm so glad you are here.  For today's project, I'm continuing my fold-flat box series, this time, I've redesigned the box to fit on a 1/2 sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock.  I love maximizing my paper, so I usually try to make boxes sized to make two from a single sheet of cardstock.  I've used some of the newly released July Online Exclusives for my box today.  I also showed a Halloween version in my video tutorial.  Be sure to watch the replay over on my YouTube  channel.

Please do watch the tutorial as I also show you my Halloween version using the Fright Night stamp set.  I have provided the template, but it is easier to make when you see how it's done (at least for me).

I hope you are inspired to make some of these fold-flat boxes.  Please share with me and my crafting community over on my Facebook group page, KnT Designs Stampers Group Social.  I would love to see what you make and I know my crafty friends would too.  In addition, please share what you found to fit inside.  

Until next time; be happy, good health to you and happy stamping!
