Make a Halloween Shaker Card

The card I’m sharing today is a Halloween shaker card! If you scroll down this post to watch the video tutorial below, I show how to create this adorable little card including the sweet candy corn confetti! I also share a great tip for getting those tiny die-cuts lined up properly and adhered to your card front exactly where you want them.

Isn’t the card bootiful?! The colors used in the card are pulled form the piece of Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper; Pumpkin Pie (of course), Basic Black and Crushed Curry.

Of course the Jar Punch and Mason Jar Shaker Dome is the center of attention on this card but the Glittered Organdy Ribbon knot ties everything together and the Rhinestone Basic Jewels were a good pick to finish the card.

Cutting Guide

Card Base = 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock scored at 4-1/4″ on the 8-1/2″ side then folded in half.
Basic Black = 5-1/4″ x 4″ and a scrap for BOO! die-cuts.
Crushed Curry = 6″ x 2-3/4″
Pumpkin Pie = 6″ x 2-3/8″
Designer Series Paper = 6″ x 2″
Whisper White = 4″ x 2″ for jar & mason jar lid image and scrap for shaker dome backing

Halloween cards are so much fun to make and adding a shaker element to them is fangtastic! I hope today’s project inspired you to create a shaker card of your own.

If you counted how many Halloween phrases I used in today’s post along with a few puns and ended up with four, you are correct. I guess I was feeling a little goulish!

Make Two Cards with Celebration Tidings

I’m always on the lookout for stamp sets that can be used for more than one occasion and the stamp set I used in today’s cards does just that! I made two cards using the Celebration Tidings stamp set from Stampin’ Up! in this week’s Coffee & a Card Facebook Live.

Look at all those holidays included in one stamp set! I consider it a great value. These are the two cards we made during the Live.

The plaid patterned, Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper worked for this project like a Pumpkin Spice Latte works on a chilly day. I also used the Celebration Labels Dies that coordinate with the stamp set (save 10% when you purchase the stamp set and dies together).

This first autumn inspired card is a simple Z-fold card with lots of yummy layers.

Card Base = 11″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock scored at 2-3/4″ & 5-1/2″ on the 11″ side. Fold on card lines to create card base.
Cajun Craze = 5-1/4″ x 4″, 4″ x 2-1/2″, 5″ x 4″ (die-cut)
Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper = 5″ x 3-3/4″, 3-3/4″ x 2-1/4″
Whisper White = two pieces 4-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ each

This next card is a window card. If I had added a window sheet under the top layer it would make an awesome shaker card.

Card Base = 11″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 5-1/2″. Fold on score line to create card base.
Basic Black = 5-1/4″ x 4″
Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper = 5″ x 3-3/4″
Whisper White = scrap for spider die-cuts

For all the fun details and a step by step tutorial watch the video replay.

Make a Card using the Tarnished Foil Technique

I showed how to make this card using the tarnished foil technique during today’s Make-it-Monday Facebook Live. The technique is quick and easy to do and leaves this gorgeous background!

Trying my best not to distract from the tarnished foil background I created a small sentiment tag on the card using a die from the Stitched Nesting Labels. My new favorite embellishment is the metallic ribbon from Stampin’ Up!’s Basket Weave Metallic Ribbon Combo and I adhered a bit of it over top of the stamped wheat image. I used the wheat image on the card insert as well.

Product List

Gather Together Bundle	Jet Black Stāzon Ink Pad	Cinnamon Cider Classic Stampin' Pad	Versamark Pad
Cinnamon Cider 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Basic Black 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Very Vanilla 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder	Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder	Stitched Nested Labels Dies	Basket Weave & Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack
Stampin' Seal	Stampin' Dimensionals	Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder

Card Base = 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ on the 8-1/2″ side, folded on score line to create card base.
Basic Black = 5″ x 4-1/4″
Whisper White = 4-7/8″ x 3-5/8″
Very Vanilla = 4″ x 2-1/2″ (sentiment tag), 5-1/4″ x 4″ (card insert)

This is such a fun technique to try! I’m sure you can create some beautiful paper crafts using the tarnished foil technique and encourage you to try it.

Make a Beautiful Autumn Card

I demonstrated how to make a beautiful autumn card using the Beautiful Autumn stamp set from Stampin’ Up! today during my Coffee & a Card Facebook Live.

I used autumnal colors for the card and stamped them onto Whisper White card stock. I think using the white background gives this card a crisp and modern vibe.

There’s lots of layers and a peek of texture from the embossed center band. My favorite thing about the card is the metallic ribbon with the acorn trinket attached.

Here is the replay from today’s Facebook Live, a list of products used and the paper dimensions:

Make a Card using Paper Scraps!

Today I demonstrated how to make a card using paper scraps on my Make-it-Monday Facebook Live. I love anything bright and cheery and we could all use a little bright and cheery right now.

The sentiment comes from the So Sentimental stamp set from Stampin’ Up! and it called for confetti so . . .

I organize my scraps by Stampin’ Up! color family and used scraps from my “Brights Family” scrap box to make this card. It’s so fun and easy to do. Here is the replay of today’s Make-it-Monday Facebook Live that shows how I made the card:

The card base is made using an 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Thick Whisper White card stock, scored at 4-1/4″ on the 8-1/2″ side then folded in half on the score line. I added a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Coastal Cabana (one of my favorites) to the card base.

Next I adhered strips of card stock to a piece of 4-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ piece of whisper White card stock with Multipurpose Liquid glue. Once the strips were in place I trimmed the card stock down to 4-1/4″ x 3″. I wrapped baker’s twine around the card stock three times, tying it into a bow on the right-hand side then adhere it all to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the “This Calls for Confetti!” sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set onto a scrap of Whisper White card stock with Momento Tuxedo Black ink and punched it out using the Tailored Tag Punch. The tag is adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the inside of the card I stamped the confetti images from the So Sentimental stamp set using Flirty Flamingo ink. The “Happy Birthday” sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set and is stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black ink.

Product List

So Sentimental Cling Stamp Set (English)	Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling Stamp Set	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad	Flirty Flamingo Classic Stampin' Pad

Thank you so much for stopping by my little corner of the internet. I hope you enjoyed learning how to make a card using paper scraps!

Forever Fern Diagonal Gatefold Card

Gatefold cards are one of my favorite cards to make. Today I tried my hand at making a diagonal gatefold card. I used products from the Forever Greenery Suite by Stampin’ Up!

Beautiful elements right?! For my Forever Fern Diagonal Gatefold Card I used the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper, the Forever Fern stamp set and the Greenery Embossing folder from the suite along with dies from the Stitched So Sweetly dies and a bit of Just Jade 1/4″ ribbon.

Product List

Just Jade 1/4" (6.4 Mm) 2020–2022 In Color Ribbon	Stampin' Seal	Stampin' Dimensionals	Mini Glue Dots

I received several comments during my Coffee & a Card Facebook Live about how pretty this card was. You can’t miss when you use such beautiful papers like the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper. I love it!

This diagonal gatefold card is easy to make but requires a little patience and extra attention when cutting and scoring to make the card base. Watch the video tutorial and refer to the measurements and cutting/scoring diagram and you will be making your own diagonal gatefold card in no time!

Measurements:

Just Jade Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 11″ scored at 4-1/4″ on the 8-1/2″ side and scored at 5-1/2″ on the 11″ side. Cut scored card stock diagonally from top lefthand corner to bottom righthand corner to create two card bases.
Pretty Peacock Cardstock: 5″ x 3-3/4″ cut diagonally from top lefthand corner to bottom righthand corner.
Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper: 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ cut diagonally from top lefthand corner to bottom righthand corner. (Use one piece for card and save remaining piece for second card.)
Just Jade Cardstock: 4″ x 2-3/4″ (for sentiment tag)
Whisper White Cardstock: 3″ x 2-1/4″ (for sentiment tag)
Whisper White Cardstock: 5-1/4″ x 4″ (for card insert)

Make a Parisian Flourish Embossed Card

I wanted to make a Parisian Flourish Embossed card and here is what I came up with. I also tried a new technique with my rectangular shaped dies. These cards have an embossed panel using the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder and Stitched So Sweetly Dies from Stampin’ Up!

I had been itching to use the Playful Alphabet Dies and wanted to make a pretty background for the “HELLO” die-cuts. I pulled the colors for the card from the Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper.

I showed how to make this card on today’s Make-it-Monday Facebook Live. Watch the video replay below to learn how used a Stitched so Sweetly Die to create the angled embossed panel.

Product List

Stitched So Sweetly Dies	Playful Alphabet Dies	Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels	Take Your Pick
Adhesive Sheets	Stampin' Seal

I started with an 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Coastal Cabana card stock folded in half to create the card base. Next an 4″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White card stock was embossed the the Parisian Flourish 3-D Embossing Folder then die-cut per the video. The piece of Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper for this card measures 4″ x 3-1/2″.

These cards have clean lines and use bright colors with fun patterns. One of the gals on my Make-it-Monday Facebook Live described the card as a “Happy Card” which I think hits the nail on the head.

Make an Art Gallery Birthday Card!

Make an art gallery birthday card using the Dressed to Impress stamp set! I was in need of two feminine birthday cards and you cannot get any more feminine than the Dressed to Impress stamp set. Pair it with the coordinating All Dressed Up Dies and it has all the things every girl wants!

To make the card base I used an 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Purple Posy card stock folded in half. I cut several frames from subtle card stock using the layering shapes dies from Stampin’ Up!; Layering Ovals, Layering Squares and Layering Circles.

You can make an art gallery birthday card yourself! Watch this video for all the tutorial.

Make a Heat Embossed Die-Cut Thank You Card

I shared how to make a heat embossed die-cut thank you card on today’s Coffee & a Card Facebook Live. Have you tried heat embossing on your paper craft projects yet? It’s magic!

We embossed the large sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set from Stampin’ Up! with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder onto a Misty Moonlight card front.

I used the partial die-cut technique on this card using a panel of Bumble Bee card stock layered with Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper. The partial die-cut technique is easy to do and it takes your card to another level. Watch this video to see how to make a heat embossed die-cut thank you card.

Arrange a Wreath Reverse Easel Card

Today’s card is another fancy fold card. The fold is a reverse easel card. An easel card is a good choice when the card is as pretty as this one. I used the Arrange a Wreath Bundle from Stampin’ Up! to make this card.

The card base is an 11″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Thick Whisper White that is scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″ on the 11″ side. I folded the card in half on the 5-1/2″ score line to form the card base then folded the 2-3/4″ panel back toward the front of the card. I used a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper to Line both the card base and the top inside of the card.

I used the large rectangle die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to make a panel to hold the wreath and to serve as the easel. A small strip of card stock acts as a platform to stop the easel and keep it upright. Watch this video tutorial for precise directions:

Celebrate Sunflowers Pop-Up Card

Today’s card is a WOW card with all the bells and whistles. I used one of my favorite new bundles, Celebrate Sunflowers, from Stampin’ Up! to create this pop-up card:

The card opens and a field of sunflowers pops up! Is that the cutest?! It was really easy to make once you know the secret. Watch this video tutorial to learn how to make your own pop-up card.

Here is a closeup photo of the card front. I love how the Braided Linen Trim can be stretched for a different look.

And here’s a bigger photo of the fun field of sunflowers on the inside of the card. The “wildly grateful” sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set seemed the perfect choice for the inside of the card.

Make Your Own Envelopes

I was recently requested to demonstrate how to make envelopes that coordinate with your handmade cards. Always ready to please, I featured envelopes on today’s Make-it-Monday Facebook Live.

The technical name for this first envelope is Baronial. The Baronial envelope I made fits an A2 card (4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″). To make this envelope you will need an 8″ x 8″ piece of paper. If your card is larger adjust your paper accordingly.

The second envelope I’m sharing is called a long pocket or Policy envelope. I made two different sizes of this style; one for an A2 card and one for a slimline card. To make the first, smaller pocket envelope you will need a 10-3/4″ x 7-3/4″ piece of paper. To make a long pocket envelope for a slimline card you will require 9-1/2″ x 11″ piece of paper.

Making these envelopes is very easy and I show how to do so on this replay of today’s Facebook Live.

You don’t have to make your own envelopes to make them a little fancy. I also shared in the video how to line different types and sizes of envelopes. Wouldn’t you love to receive a card in one of these dressed up envelopes?!
