Welcome back. These cards use the Classic Christmas 6"x6" Designer Series Paper which is part of the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle, although you can purchase the papers individually. These papers plus the Curvy Christmas stamp set will only be available till the 4th of January. 

I created both these cards by using a standard A4 card base, folded in half and then folding the front of the card in half again. Easy Z-fold cards and a great way to highlight the papers.

The Classic Christmas 6"x6" Designer Series Paper, the Curvy Christmas stamp set and the Wonder of the Season Ribbon Combo Pack will only be available till the 4th of January.

Hello. Today I am showing the last card I made recently using the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks. This card uses Stampin' Up!® Shimmery White Embossing Paste through one of the masks to create both texture and dimension. I combined that with punched pieces and paper from the Christmas Gleaming Variety Bundle.

To make this card:

1) I used one of the Decorative Masks, and taped it down with Washi tape over a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock 5 3/8" x 2 7/8" (13.6 x 7.5 cm). I initially used a larger piece and cut it down to this size later.

2) Using a palette knife, I blended the Shimmery White Embossing Paste through the mask onto the coloured cardstock. I let it dry for a few hours before using this piece.

3) I used Whisper White cardstock and die cut the word "Peace" twice from the Peace and Joy Bundle and glued the two pieces together, then used the punch from the Christmas Gleaming Variety Bundle to cut an ornament from Silver Foil. I used Liquid Multipurpose Glue dabbed onto the die cut word, to attach it to my card front and used Stampin' Dimensionals to attach the punched piece. I tied a piece of twine from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack around the ornament.

4) I attached 2 narrow strips of Silver Foil to the the Misty Moonlight cardstock using Liquid Multipurpose Glue and then attached the embossed/silver foil card onto a piece of Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper 5 3/8" x 3 5/8" (13.6 x 9.1 cm) using Stampin ' Dimensionals. I then attached the whole lot onto Whisper White cardstock 5 5/8" x 3 7/8" (14.2 x 9.8cm) using Liquid Multipurpose Glue.

5) I attached the full card panel onto a  Misty Moonlight card base (A4 cardstock cut in half and folded lengthwise) using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

6) I used a piece of Whisper White cardstock on the inside of the card with another ornament punched from Silver Foil attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Hello again. Today I have something quite different than my usual content. I decided to make some cards using a template designed by Alicia from Call Me Crafty All on YouTube. She releases these templates monthly and it helps you make multiple cards easily by providing you with measurements. 

This set of cards appealed to me as I have never tried making the slimline cards that are all the rage. I decided to use elements from the Christmas Gleaming Variety Bundle, particularly the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Gleaming Ornaments Punch for the gold foil ornaments.

I used sentiments from the Wrapped In Christmas and Gift Wrapped Stamp Sets stamped onto Whisper White cardstock, which was then matted onto either Pretty Peacock or Gold Foil (I don't have any of the copper foil sheets but the gold seemed to match). I used the Banners Pick a Punch to punch the ends of those strips. I also used the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folders on the Whisper White cardstock .

You can get your own copy of Alicia's template this month by visiting Call Me Crafty Al's YouTube September Sheetload video here. I modified the letter sized instructions to our Australian A4 sizing which made it a little shorter than US letter sized template.
