Stampin’ Up!’s Christmas Friends Notes and Gift Card Holder

in 12 weeks of Christmas, Cardmaking on 12/24/24

Hello my sweet crafters, bonjour!

Happy Christmas Eve to all of you! Tonight we celebrate a meal with the cadets and families that are staying here in Regina. It can be a lonely or difficult time for some people.  I was walking our dog and met a young man who choose to stay on base for the week instead of returning home and he was sharing how lonely this week as been.   We chatted and had a great conversation.  I recall Sara Douglass our Stampin’up! CEO, sharing at one of our events that she wanted to eradicate  loneliness.  Therefore, on our end, Chris and I will go eat with the recruits who remain here and socialize with them.  I will also be going live on my Facebook page like usual at 11 central time or noon eastern time, therefore, if you feel alone, come join me…

I’m a little behind posting here but I wanted to share one more project featuring the Christmas Friends Bundle.

  • Project one HERE
  • Project two HERE

Today, I’m featuring some note cards and a gift card holder.  You can view in my video below how to make these.

Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I want Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I wanted to make my own DIY frame for a memory keeping of our trip to Banff Alberta! I designed my frame using the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and used @stampinupofficial ‘s Scenic Adventure Bundle and Weekend Adventures collection to embellish. I also made coordinating Polaroid note cards. 

I’m obsessed at making these little Polaroid note cards and will add a couple more to my collection.

A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Cat A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Catalog design team for inviting me to be one of this month’s guest designers! I was truly honored! 

I made a card using Stampin’ Up!’s Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and paired it with the Extraordinary Flora Bundle and its coordinating Washi Tape.

I went with a fresh, summery palette of Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, and Old Olive. 

Did you know @stampinupofficial is having a  Creative Challenge this month with fresh In Colors to mix with your go-to classics?  Well my card meets the challenge… 💛

What did I use to make this card?

Full details are provided on @stampinthroughthecatalog as well as how Melody, Cindy & Kaitlyn cased some elements and made their own card designs. I love how they explained in details what element inspired them from my card. Go check it out!
