Carols of Christmas Pop Up Card

Hello and Welcome!
Today I am sharing a Christmas Pop Up card made with the Carols of Christmas Bundle. I am very amazed of how many different cards and projects you can create with this bundle! And since the snow scenery cards are so attractive during this season,  I wanted to create one myself :)   On my project here I mixed a couple of other stamp sets to accomplish a beautiful Christmas scenery, I apologize as some of the stamps are retired; however you can always improvise or look at what you have available to add it to your snow scenery and make it Fun!


This is a standard card size 5-1/2" X  4-1/4"











I added a pocket inside the card to place a Gift Card or Cash.

 I made an envelope using the Envelope Punch Board for a card size 4-1/2" x 6" for a better fit. 


Here are some basic instructions on how I made the pop up card.
This piece is the inside lining cut one 10-1/2" x 4" of Soft Sky cardstock and fold in half
Make a mark at 1" from each side on the fold side and cut down to 1-1/4".
Score the 2" center section to allow to fold easy when you pop it up. 

To create some Pine Tree Shadows in the background, I cut several Pine Trees with the framelits  from the Card Front Builder Dies on scrap paper and use it as a template to sponge over it with Soft Sky Ink. 

I hope you liked this project idea and found some inspiration. To shop for any of the supplies used for this project please visit my Stampin'UP! website HERE or click on any of the images in the supply table below.

Quilted Christmas Pinwheel Gift Card Holders and Gift Box

Hello and Welcome dear Friends!
Today I am sharing another project made with the Stampin'UP! Quilted Christmas Suite. This is a set of four Pinwheel Gift Card Holders that serve as Christmas Cards too!  This card fold idea goes really well with the Quilted Christmas collection and you can make lots of them since they are very easy and fun to make!

The Gift Card Holders or Christmas Cards can be given away individually or as a set in a gift box.

The Gift Card Holders size is 3-3/4" x 3-3/4".  Click here for a Video Tutorial from Helen Griffin to learn how to make these cards. *Please note* I only used one 6" x 6" piece of Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper and scored the flaps at 3/8" instead of 1".


Here you can see the Pinwheel shape, I think this is a cute gift idea for Quilters :)

This is the card or gift card holder when opened.

This is the back of cards


I used the Envelope Punch Board to make a Box size 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" and two small magnets for the closure.


I hope you liked this project idea, I have enjoyed so much making these projects and will continue using this collection in the future.
