Holiday Card Club November 2023

I am in behind in posting the last two Holiday Card Club cards for November and December. I am hoping to get it in before the end of the year! The designs can easily be changed to accomidate other occasion cards OR save for next holiday season. I wish with all my heart I could plan and prep ahead but I am always last minute under the pressure kind of girl. Anyone else out there like that? Today, the 23rd i have a last minute list of errands which probably don’t need to be done but you know I am going to tackle as soon as I post this. Focus bonnie! Let’s take a look at the cards I created for the Holiday Card Club November 2023.

Card #1:

Well, this gem…It was the last card I created in the group AND it took me forever, I was like will this work, or this work, or that work. No joke it took me quite some time to create the card on the left and then after having scraps left, I made the one on the right and walked away!! LOL I was so worried it wasn’t good enough. Well, to my delighful surprise on Instagram, it has over 400 likes! Can I just say WOW and thank you! If you aren’t following me on Instagram, please do as I frequently post there. Bonniestamped is my tag name, as well as on pinterest.

the details:

• cut card base 41/4″ x 11″
• score at 5 1/2″
• cut layering card stock 4″ x 5 1/4″
• trim DSP or if you have scraps 🙂 1″ x 5″ (2)  for one card and the other 1 1/2″
• cut white card stock 1 1/4″ x 5″ and 2 1/4′
• stamp image from Merriest Trees stamp set and die cut
• assemble card as shown
• complete with ribbon and a few embellishments

NOTECard #1:

The Designer Series Paper, Winter Meadow was used on cards #1 and cards #2. It was an online exclusive product and sold out pretty quick before being restocked. Check in my online store often as new kits arrive monthly, clearance rack gets updated time to time and of course the additional items of online exclusives are there! For example, trucking along is one of them! Yes, items sell out quickly unfortunately but there is always something available to add to your collection!

the details:

• NOTECARD – we love these!
• cut card stock 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″
• trim dsp 3″ x 4 (you can get 10 cards completed with one 12×12 sheet!)
• cut 2 3/4″ x 3 7/8″ lost lagoon
• cut 2 1/2″ x 3 3/4″
• stamp sentiments on white card stock
• stamp and color with blends the truck from trucking along
• assemble as shown

NOTEcard #2:

Usually with club cards, I use one stampset and one pack of paper. I was a rule breaker this month as running out of time and still having product share, I had to break from my own rule. HOWEVER, 2 cards got the same DSP and 2 cards got the same stamp set. That is what is great about Stampin’ Up! you can mix and match ALL the time and the result, perfection every time!

the details:

• cut card stock 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″
• trim dsp 3″ x 4 (you can get 10 cards completed with one 12×12 sheet!)
• using white scrap, I stamped the image as shown. (Measurement will vary)
• fussy cut the christmas wording
• added some little trees from a retired punch – love these punches!
• assemble as shown
• add ribbon beecause rarely are there cards with ho ribbon

Card #2

The Sparkling Snowflake bundle was purchased and used and had to include it again because look at the detail! As they say no two snowfakes are alike. I added another online exclusive designer series paper – it’s hard to see the detail on the pebble path square but it’s there! The paper comes in three shades and makes for the perfect addition to my card, plus the ribbon of course. The snowflake had to be fussy cut but I never worry about cutting – the images are large enough and are easy to cut.

the details:

• cut card base 51/2″ x 8 1/2″
• cut layering card stock 4″ x 5 1/4″
• white cards stock 3 3/4″ x 5″
• stamp images onto white card stock
• die cut square from stylish shapes dies
• stamp snowflake on coordinating card stock
• assemble as shown
• add ribbon
• adhere snowflake
• add gems

TIme to run errands!

I finished! WOO HOO! I could continue to write but the clock is ticking and I want to share with you! My product list below lists almost everything. The card stock matches the inks I used and if the ink pad is listed it means I didn’t use the paper. Of course, my trimmer, die cut machine and numerous embellishments were used. The whole catalog is my lifeline and l love it all! I’ll be back with the last addition of Holiday Club Cards December 2023 which featured four gift card holders and a bonus note card! The paper was cut and it needed to be finished. Have a wonderful day!

Happy Stampin’
