Holiday Card Club September 2023

Are you busy the 4th Thursday of the month? Want to join in my Holiday Card Club? I start my club in July and finishit the 2nd week of December. By then club members have 48 cards created on a non-stress level. The cards are prepped for everyone and completing them comes with ease, not frustration. The only downfall, people just struggle making a bow that I have made some cards with no ribbon (the horror) or a simple knot. Let’s take a look at the Holiday Card Club September 2023 creations.

Card #1

The stamp set this month as Joy to You. I picked it becaue I absolutely LOVE stacked sentiments and I liked how large they were. No mini stamp that I could easily stamp on die cut or punch. It challenged me and creating 4 cards with the sentiments, I will consider a “Joy to me.” The first card, I did a fun folded card that is merry and bright.

The Details:

• cut blueberry bushel card base 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and “flap” 3 1/4″  x 4 1/2″
• score the flap at 1/2″ with the 4 1/2″ side along the top of the scorer
• cut white 4″ x 5 1/4″ and 2 1/4″ x 3 3/4″
• cut pool party 2 1/2″ x 4″
• trim DSP 3″ x 4″ and 1/2″ x  3 3/4″
• stamp sentiment in blueberry bushel
• tie ribbon
• assemble card as shown
• add rhinestones

Card #2

The first reaction in class to this card…lots of pieces and lemon lime twist really isn’t a holiday color. HOWEVER, after completing the card, they were all happy with the results. Plus, it was another fun folded card!

The Details:

• cut card base 5 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ and 4 1/4″ x 6 1/2″
• score at 4 1/2″ with the 6 1/2″ along the top and 3 1/4″
• cut poppy parade 2″ x 5 1/4″ and 4 x 5 1/4″ and 3″ x 4″
• cut white layering pieces 3 3/4 x 5″ and 2 3/4″ x 3 3/4″
• emboss with your favorite embossing folder
• trim DSP 1 3/4″ x 5″
• stamp sentiment in poppy parade
• die cut tree and star from merriest tree dies
• assemble card as shown
• add rhinestones

Note Card #1

I love the variety of colors in the designer series paper pack. Highlighting the colors I kept design to minimal. A simple die cut from the nested essentials dies and the tree from the merriest tree dies.

• cut shaded spruce card stock 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″
• trim dsp 3″ x 4 1/2″ (you can get 10 card fronts out of one 12″ x 12″)
• die cut the bracket from nested essentials dies
• stamp sentiment in shaded spruce
• die cut tree from merriest trees dies
• add 1/4″ strips to corner
• assemble as shown

Note Card #2

The last card in the group I broke out my light bulb punch and added 2 of them to finish the card. Sometimes a simple punch makes all the difference in finishing a card.

• cut crushed curry card stock 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″
• trim dsp 3″ x 4 1/2″ (you can get 10 card fronts out of one 12″ x 12″)
