November Stamping Symphony Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are doing well. Christmas seems like it is just around the corner. I have been busy making Christmas cards for friends and customers. I will make mine once everyone else is taken care of.

This month's Blog Hop is Christmas with a flare - I chose a fun fold card to demonstrate. I just received this paper and am having so much fun with the paper and bundle. The paper does all the work. I die cut the house from one of the DSP. They are simple enough to fussy cut too. When you purchase the Coming Home stamp set, Stampin' Up! will donate $4.00 to charities devoted to adoption, foster care and infertility. You can make a difference with your purchase. I just loved the stamp set, dies and DSP. The donation was a bonus.

Let's find out how to make this fun, simple card!

Measurements:

Misty Moonlight card base - 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
Poppy Parade cardstock - 3 1/2 x 5 1/2; 3/4 x 5 1/2 scored at 3/4" for flap
Whisper White cardstock - 3 x 11 scored at 5 1/2; scrap for circle and sentiment
DSP (Trimming the Town DSP) - 2 3/4 x 5 1/2

Instructions:

Adhere the large Poppy Parade rectangle to the card front leaving an even border on the sides.
Fold the Whisper White cardstock in half along the score line. Adhere the DSP to the front of this piece leaving an even border on the sides.
Adhere the Whisper White piece with the DSP to the card front leaving and even border of Poppy Parade on the sides.
Stamp the sentiment on a 1/2" strip on Whisper White cardstock using Misty Moonlight ink and the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set. Adhere to the card front using Dimensionals
Take the Poppy Parade cardstock strip and flag the end using a punch or scissors. Put adhesive on the folded 3/4" part and adhere to the back of the card.

Die cut the second largest Stitched Circle from a piece of Whisper White cardstock.
Cut out one of the houses from the Trimming the Town DSP. Adhere to the Stitched Circle.
Adhere this piece to the center of the flag piece.

I hope you enjoyed this fun and simple card. I am going to make a bunch of these for my family and friends.
