Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a super fun and easy fun fold card that look s impressive but is one of the absolute easiest cards to put together. This is also the last project for my 25 Days of Christmas Holiday Project Series this year. I was so surprised how easy this card was to put together. I saw this card last week at a demonstrator event, and got one as part of a card swap. I loved it so much I had to come home and try it. This was such a fun card that I had to share it with you as well. For my card I used some Holiday Catalog Products as well as some new products from the upcoming January-June Mini Catalog (which used to be the Occasions Catalog). I picked the Dressed To Impress Stamp Set (available January 3, 2020) to showcase on my card today. Here's a look at my card using this super fun and easy Teepee Fold (or Pyramid Card).
Tips & Tricks:
This card uses just a few supplies to make. Three pieces of square cardstock for the base, a piece or two of designer series paper and whisper white. Once you pick out the colors of the cardstock you are going to use; it's then time to do a little scoring and a little stamping. I picked Old Olive as my card base. I used the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper and a piece of Whisper White. You are going to take the three pieces of cardstock and score them from point to point. The DSP and whisper white are cut down the middle from point to point.
After you get everything cut and scored it's time to put the card together. I found it easier to line up the square on the grid paper to put the card togher. You will line up the other two pieces of cardstock up against the score line in the middle. Just slightly off the score line just a little bit. The best way to think of it is to line up point to point. When adding the glue, you will only add glue to the top of the folded triangle. Just one one side. Just a little tip make sure that you work the score lines a couple times to make them fold up easier.
After I got the card put together I stamped one of the images from the Tags, Tags, Tags Stamp Set and colored it with my Stampin' Write Markers in Real Red, Crushed Curry, and Old Olive). I then cut it out with the matching dies and added it to one side. I then stamped the high heel from the Dressed to Impress stamp set and colored it with the Real Red stampin' write marker.
I added the whisper white to the inside and one to the back so that I had room for a sentiment and room for writing a message.
To keep the car together you can use either little magnets or velcro dots.

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a card that I made using the Mountain Air Bundle in the upcoming January-June Mini Catalog. The Mountain Air stamp set is a reversible stamp set that features a outdoor scene that I was drawn to right off the bat. And, the funny part about that is that I have never been camping a day in my life and I am terrified of the woods with all the snakes and masked killers chasing down teenagers and all. Okay, I may have watched to many horror movies, but you never know it could happen and it would be my luck. Here's a look at my card.
Tips & Tricks:
I was very surprised how easy this stamp set was to use, I was also impressed with how it stamped. I started out by stamping the mountain in the back first. I stamped it with Sahara Sand Ink. Next I stamped the more detailed image in Basic Gray ink.
Next I stamped the distance mountains in Old olive and flipped the stamp around and stamped it in Garden Green. Next I used the next set of trees in Mossy Meady but double stamped it. After that I worked on the trees in the foreground. Using Mossy Meadow and Pretty Peacock. I stamped the detail layer of the trees and die cut them out. I layered the die cuts up with either liquid glue or stampin' dimensionals. I added the detailed die cut with liquid glue.
My sentiment came from another stamp set from the January-June Mini Catalog. I used the Label Me Bold stamp set. I cut out the stamped image with my paper snips and placed it on the tree. I think it makes the perfect masculine birthday card.
The Mountain Air Bundle and the Label Me Bold Stamp Set will be available in the January-June Mini Catalog which goes live on January 3, 2020.

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you the Large Chocolate Truffle Box that I made during last nights Facebook Live. I do a Facebook Live each Wednesday at 8 pm CST on my Facebook Business Page. This is a large box that's holds a half a bag of Lintz or Moser Roth Truffles. This box measures 7" x 2" x 2", so you can see it's a great size for gift giving. For my project today I used the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper to decorate my box. Here's a look at my project.
As I mentioned I used the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper to decorate my box today. The base of the box was made with cardstock. I used either Real Red or Garden Green for the base and then the other color for the mats for the designer series paper. I used the same color of the box base for the designer series paper. With the Toile Tidings it was super easy to pick which color to use. There are only three colors in the designer series paper; Very Vanilla, Real Red, and Garden Green. The same pattern is on each side of the paper but in either Very Vanilla and Real Red or Very Vanilla and Garden Green so it makes creating super easy.
The Real Red version was the first one that I made for my Facebook Live. I used the 1" Real Red Ruched Ribbon to tie the box close. This box uses one full sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock to make the base. I scored the base cardstock on the short side at (on the 8 1/2" side) at 2, 4, 6, and 8. On the long side (11" side) I scored at 2" and 9".
The box was decorated with three pieces of cardstock (cut at 6 3/4 x 1 3/4) for the front, top, and back. The two side mats were cut at 1 3/4 x 1 3/4. The Designer Series Paper for the box was cut at 6 1/2 x 1 1/2" (you need three) and 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 (you need two). To add a little more decoration I used ribbon to secure it close. I used the Garden Green Double Stitched Ribbon and the Very Vanilla & Copper Classic Weave Ribbon on the Garden Green Box.
