Stampin' Up! Christmas Creations!
September 14, 2021
Hey there! Once again it's time for the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! Our theme for this month is "Christmas Creations", and I have a group of cards all created with the Frosted Gingerbread bundle and Gingerbread & Peppermint 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper!
Here's the group of cards I made with the "Arm Flap-Fold":
I started on each card by adhering a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Series Paper to the front of an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" card base, scored and folded at 4 1/4". I used the snowflake from the Gingerbread Dies to cut through both front layers of the card. I cut another snowflake from Basic White to stamp the front greeting from Frosted Gingerbread.
I used the same snowflake die to cut a snowflake from the Gingerbread & Peppermint designer paper, then adhered it to the layers I cut from the front to give the snowflake more stability. I used a piece of coordinating card stock 3/4" x 4", scored at 2" to create the arm flap. One end of the flap is secured under the inside white layer. I closed the card and adhered the snowflake to the end of the arm flap through the cut snowflake opening. I added a Cherry Cobbler Holiday Rhinestone to the center of the snowflake for some sparkle.
I stamped the inside sentiment from Tidings & Trimmings through the snowflake opening in the front layers when the card is closed so it will hide behind the snowflake on the arm flap.
I did the same process with the ornament, stamping the front greeting from Tidings & Trimmings.
I added a Shaded Spruce Holiday Rhinestone to the ornament center.
I stamped the Frosted Gingerbread greeting with Real Red ink.
For this Old Olive based version I used the star die and a greeting from Tidings & Trimmings.
A Shaded Spruce Holiday Rhinestone provides the bit of sparkle.
I stamped this Tidings & Trimmings sentiment behind the star with Real Red ink.
Finally, I cut the bell with another Gingerbread die from the Gingerbread & Peppermint designer paper, and the greeting is from Tidings & Trimmings.
I used another Cherry Cobbler Holiday Rhinestone to fill the bell's center.
I finished the inside of this one with a Frosted Gingerbread sentiment.

Wow, Carol! What a great idea for the card layout and the surprise- sentiment under the arm flap! You have inspired me to try something new! TFS.
