You can have it now! I designed these cards using the “A Little Bit Festive” 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper. It’s on page 18 in the Mini Catalog. There are six sheets of patterned paper: One each of three double sided, classic holiday designs, and one each of three single die-cut designs. The die cut designs include gold foil accents.
My cards are showcasing the die cut pieces from the Paper Pack, including three of the frame die cuts. Each of my card designs is encircled by one of the frames in the die cuts.
The die cut pieces are adorable. These cards are quick and easy. It was fun to pick the pieces I wanted to use, and plan how to use them together.
So, without any more talking, let’s make some cards!
The Festive Teddy Bear
- The ribbon frame, pine bough, holly, presents and teddy bear are die cuts from the Desitner Series Paper.
- I cut a Thick Basic White cardstock card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, and scored it at 4 1/4″.
- Behind the presents and teddy bear is a piece of gold and white Designer Series Paper. It’s cut 3 3/4″ x 5″. I attached it to the red ribbon die cut frame with Dimensionals. (The gold and white DSP is part of the Regal Winter Suite in the new Mini Catalog),
- I attached the pine bough and holly to the corner of the ribbon frame with glue. The presents are also attached with glue, and the teddy bear is attached with Dimensionals.
- I stamped the sentiment with Garden Green ink. It’s a small “Merry Christmas” stamp from the retired Framed And Festive Stamp Set. (I liked the size for this design).
- I added a gold dot from the Blooming Pearls embellishments.
Holiday Stolckings
- The leaf frame and stockings are die cuts from the Designer Series Paper.
- I cut a Thick Basic White cardstock card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″.
- The Real Red cardstock layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″.
- I attached the leaf frame to the Real Red layer with Dimensionals.
- I attached the pine garland and christmas stockings to the card front with Dimensionals.
- The sentiment is stamped with Garden Green ink. It’s from the new Reindeer Fun Stamp Set. I love the classic font.
- To embellish, I added lots of red sequins from the now retired Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins.
Candy Canes And Christmas Lights
- The holiday lights frame and candy canes are die cuts from the Designer Series Paper.
- I cut a Real Red cardstock card base 4 1/4″ x 11″, and scored it at 5 1/2″.
- The Garden Green cardstock mat layer is 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″.
- I attached the frame to the Garden Green layer with glue.
- In the center of the card, under the candy canes is the center of the holiday lights frame. I liked the edge of this piece. I inked it with my Sponge Dauber and Garden Green ink.
- The center white layer is attached with Dimensionals and off-set.
- The candy canes are also attached with Dimensionals, and I inked the edges lightly with Garden Green ink.
- The Garden Green cardstock strip is 5/8″ x 3 3/4″.
- Thr Real Red cardstock strip is 7/8″ x 3 1/4″.
- The white sentiment strip is 3/4″ x 3″.
- Glue the cardstock strips as shown, attach the sentiment strip.
- I flagged the ends of the Real Red and white strips with my Paper Snips.
So, after reading the “how to’s” for these three cards, you can see how quick and easy they are to put them together. I have a lot of die cuts to use for another inspiration day.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my Product Premier for “A Little Bit Festive” Designer Series Paper as much as I enjoyed putting the cards together. Which one is your favorite?
So, grab the “A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper”, punch out the die cut pieces, cut some card bases, get out your Dimensionals, and have fun designing your unique holiday cards, and tgs, too!
