All Kinds of Crafty

Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop for the month of November. This month we are sharing Christmas or Holiday themed cards. I am sharing a fun fold card featuring the Holly Jolly Branches bundle.

I started with a 11″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Pecan Pie cardstock for the base. I scored it at 2 1/4″ and 5 1/2″. I turned the cardstock and cut off 5/8″ from each side up to the 2 1/4″ score line. This creates half of the flap.

I added a Basic White mat and a piece of Timeless Christmas DSP under the flap and on the left, inside of the card.

For the flap, I used liquid glue on the Pecan Pie flap and adhered a 4 5/8″ x 3 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock. (Only half of the piece of Basic White cardstock is glued down.)

I stamped the tree from the Holly Jolly Branches stamp set using Peaceful Pine ink on Basic White cardstock. I used the snow stamp from the Holly Jolly Branches stamp set and stamped Versamark all over the tree and a 4 1/2″ x 3″ piece of Vellum. I used Basics Wow! White Embossing Powder and the heat tool to set the powder. Be careful not to heat the Vellum too much. It will burn. Ask me how I know that? 😆

Using the Holly Jolly Branches dies, I cut out the stamped tree and three more trees using Peaceful Pine Cardstock. I also stamped three sets of gifts with Poppy Parade ink and the trunk with Pecan Pie ink and die cut them. I used paper snips to cut out a small gift from one of the die cuts to add another present under the tree.

I used liquid glue to adhere the Peaceful Pine trees towards the left side of the Basic White cardstock. I used glue dots to adhere the stamped Vellum onto the Basic White cardstock. I then used dimensionals to adhere the stamped tree and presents to the right side of the cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment on a piece of Poppy Parade cardstock using Versamark and Basics Wow! White Embossing Powder and cut it out using a die from the Holly Jolly Branches die set.

On the inside, I stamped a sentiment from the Holly Jolly Branches stamp set on a Basic White cardstock mat. I added a strip of Timeless Christmas DSP to the right side to give it a little more pizzaz.

I stamped some Poppy Parade presents on the left corner of the front of the envelope.

And added a strip of Timeless Christmas DSP to the flap of the envelope.
