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.

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.

For today, I've created a gift storage box to hold the ornament I posted on Wednesday this week. You will want to check that out if you haven't already seen it.

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.
