Candy Canes Galore with Sweetest Christmas Suite

Are you falling in love with the Sweetest Christmas Suite yet? I hope today's "sweet" card will encourage you do to so.

Like yesterday's Christmas Card layout I shared, today's is a little more advanced but still easy to make multiples of, to share with family and friends on a tray of cookies or fudge.  This card has torn Designer Series paper edges, die cut glimmer candy canes, ribbon wrapped around the candy canes and tied in a pretty bow, plus stamping directly on the card base.

Shall we get started?

Cut Real Red cardstock 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", score at 4-1/4"

Stamp greeting in lower right corner of card front in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

With the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP), cut 3" x 6" polka dot strip and a 2" x 6" red and white candy cane strip. Gently tear the edges as shown in the photo below trying to not remove too much DSP. Glue the two layers together. Position and adhere on card front above the greeting. Trim off excess overhang on both sides.

Using the Candy Cane Dies, cut one white candy cane from a 2" x 5" piece of white glimmer paper. Repeat with red glimmer paper using the opposite direction die. Adhere the two candy canes together where they cross. Using Mini Dimensionals put some at the curved head of the cane and at the opposite end, but NOT in the middle because that is where the ribbon will go under and through.

With a 12" piece of Real Red ribbon slide an end under the candy cane combo and tie a lovely bow. Trim the ribbon ends in at an angle.

Add embellishments of your choice by the greeting.

Last step, add a 4" x 5-1/4" Basic White cardstock layer to the inside of the card for your own personal message for the holidays.

If you'd like a matching envelope, decorate your  Basic White Envelope flap with a 2-3/8" x 6" piece of matching Designer Series Paper adhered to the flap and trim off the excess with your paper snips.

Snailed It - Take 4

The Snailed It stamp set has the cutest collection of snail images. 

I definitely like escargots this way, but not to consume (icky!).

Here's an easy card to stamp and assemble with just a few tools. For someone with minimal tools available, all you need is a paper trimmer and the rectangular postage stamp punch. The cute snails can be fussy cut by hand with paper snips from the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper. Then stamp and ink the greeting. Assemble with some adhesive and dimensionals.

If you have a few more tools, like a Cut & Emboss Machine, then you'll use the Snail Dies to have a more "professional" cut look for these snails.

Saying "You Snailed It!" sure is a fun way to congratulate a friend or relative with an accomplishment they have achieved. 

Card Inspired by Libby Fens

Valentine's Week of Cards #3

How about a Triangular Valentine Card? I had purchased the Stitched Triangle Dies a while ago, but had not used them very much until I saw a layout by Sharon Davies. I changed it up quite I bit, 

but want to give inspiration credit where it is due.

If you love puzzles like I do, then these dies give you lots of options for making 

interesting card designs.

I used the equilaterial triangle shape for this design.  Fun fact - Did you know that every 

triangle always adds up to 180 degrees on it's perimeter? 

Products used in today's card:

Current products available at my online store:

Thick and Regular Basic White cardstock

Stitched Triangle Dies

Heartfelt Stamp Set

Heart Punch Pack

Resin Heart Embellishments

Dimensionals

Tear and Tape

Liquid Multipurpose glue - use sparingly

Retired:

Retired Lovely Lipstick cardstock and ink

Retired All My Love Designer Series Paper

Retired  All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack

Please note that you can decide how tightly or farther apart you want the triangles. After I made this sample, I received an order for two more cards. What I changed was instead of having a strip of white showing at the top and bottom of the glued triangles, I glued the triangles at the top and bottom edges of the white. When I glued the middle row, I placed them closer to the top row. This created about a 3/8" wide gap between the middle and bottom rows which the ribbon covered nicely. I did use the Tear and Tape in that gap to make sure the ribbon stayed put. 

Don't forget to add some Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap or stamp some hearts on the inside of the card for extra cuteness!

Happy Stamping!
