Pick of the Patch Fall Card & Merry and Bright Christmas Card

 Today's cards are a mix of fall cards and Christmas cards. Why not? The stores have both seasons out so I can make cards for each season. 

The fall card uses Pick of the Patch bundle on page 51 of the mini catalog. It's a bundle with a punch.


I used fall colors, of course. Crumb cake card base and Inked Botanicals Designer Series paper for the color. Cajun craze pumpkins and Pumpkin Pie pumpkin with that cute Very Vanilla and Black Large Checked ribbon adds just the right amount of that fall feel. The pumpkin is popped up on dimensionals. The inside is blank for your message. The supply list is at the bottom of this post.

Cutting Instructions:
  • Card Base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4. This is a landscape card
  • Designer Series Paper: 3 x 4
  • Cajun Craze: 4 1/4 x 3 1/2
  • Very Vanilla: 4 x 3
  • Scrap to stamp and punch pumpkin

My second card today uses some of the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper and that pretty Red & Gold Dotted Ribbon. It is an online exclusive and isn't in either catalog. The supply list for this card is at the bottom of this post.


This card is very easy but packs a punch. The center panel is adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals to give it some attention. The Red & Gold Dotted Ribbon is wrapped around the panel for about an inch on each side and stuck down. I love the little bit of gold it adds. The circle is die cut with a Stitched Shapes die. 


The inside sentiment is done a little differently for this card. I layered two sizes of the Stitched Shapes square dies to bring attention to the sentiment but still leave plenty of room to write a message. 

Cutting Instructions:
  • Real Red Cardstock: 3 1/2 x 4 1/2
  • Designer Series Paper: 3 1/4 x 4 1/4
  • Scraps of Basic White and Real Red to die cut shapes
Thanks for stopping by!
Let me know if you need help ordering or with making these cards. I am here to help you enjoy making cards.

See you next time,

Here is one of the cards in this class. I cut a scene out of one of the sheets of DSP, no stamping on the front of the card. The sentiment on the inside can be one from your own stamps. I love that snowflake paper. Here is what the rest of the paper looks like. Don't you love those sweater designs?

1/2 of a package of the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper,
enough ribbon and embellishments to have some left,

Two Fun Folds using Horse & Sleigh and All About Autumn DSP

 Hello! Sorry for the absence but you know, we took a cruise! We had the best time. I crafted with Kurstan and Patty when we were sailing along. I saw lighthouses but very little fall color. The locals were saying it's been too warm and dry.


Today I have two pretty cards that are both fun folds. The first one is made with One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series paper. The One Horse Open Sleigh suite is an Online Exclusive only. The supply list for this card is at the bottom of the post.


This is a landscape card (the crease is on the left). 



This is the inside of the card. Notice the front is shorter with the center panel as the focal point. 

Cutting Instructions:
  • Card Base: 7 3/4 x 4 1/4; score at 5 1/2
  • Center Panel: 3 1/8" x 4 1/8"
  • Designer Series paper for Center Panel: 3 x 4, DSP for side flap: 2 x 4
  • DSP for inside: 4 x 5 1/4
  • Inside liner: 3 x 4
The second card I have for you today is a fall card. This Designer Series Paper is stunning. All About Autumn DSP has been hard to come by. It is currently not available but will be back in stock next week. One side of the paper has photos of fall scenes, pumpkins, leaves and books and the other side is foiled! Coppery, shiny and so pretty. Today's card used a realistic scene of the woods with sun streaking in. Isn't it pretty?


This is a portrait card but is cut a bit differently that most of my cards. The front is trimmed off 1" so it's shorter than the back. That gives you space to adhere more pretty paper! The label is die cut with a Deckled Rectangle die. I love the little bit of detail that gives the sentiment. Those Adhesive-Backed Speckle dots add just the right amount of sparkle. (Note: these dots are so popular and currently not available so keep checking back if you want some) This is an easy card and can be mass produced quickly but are so pretty in hand.


Cutting Instructions:
  • Card Base: 7 1/2 x 5 1/2, score at 4 1/4
  • Designer Series Paper for front: 3 x 5 1/4; for inside edge: 1 1/2 x 5 1/4
  • Liner: 3 x 5
  • Scrap for sentiment label
I have a video showing how to make these cards over on my You Tube Channel. Check it out HERE

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
Mary Lou
