Hi Stampers. I know Christmas is over, but somehow I forgot to post this card. It’s a double slider technique – this is a great fold that can be used for any occasion. I figured it was worth posting so you can watch the video and learn how to make this card.
For this card, I used the stamp set #Elfie. If you haven’t figured it out yet – it was my favorite set from the 2019 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog. Its’ adorable and looks great colored with the Stampin’ Blends.
This card is a standard A2 size and fits into the Stampin’ Up! Medium Envelopes for mailing. I love the way it pops open to show two additional panels.
I made this card during my FB Live video on December 2nd. You can see the video on my Facebook page or see it on my YouTube channel. YouTube video posted below.

Merry Christmas, Stampers! I hope you are blessed to be able to spend this holiday surrounded by love, good health and friends and family to enjoy it with.
Today’s card is another interactive one for you. Dawn Griffith, a fellow demo, did a video on how to do a simple slider card a few years ago. I believe her cards were birthday cards and I made several Christmas cards with this slider technique. Since it is Christmas, I am combining the three cards into one post. You can view my Facebook Live video HERE.
My first card here is made using the #Elfie stamp set, Cherry Cobbler CS, Very Vanilla CS and Night Before Christmas DSP.
This is what the card looks like open – revealing the second sentiment.
A Gold Faceted Gem on the end of the slider makes it easier to grip and slide open.
The inside of the card has a layer of Very Vanilla CS with the elf by the pole stamped in the corner. I colored the elf with the Stampin’ Blends and then used the light Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blend to outline the image, giving it a sort of shadow effect.
For my Facebook Live video – I made this second card, showing how I made the first one. It’s almost the same, I just switched up the DSP and the elf I used.
I also used the other sentiment from the #Elfie stamp set for the hidden message.
I used a 1″ glimmer paper circle on the pull tab. The texture of the glimmer paper makes the tab easy to grab and pull out.
Like the first card, the inside of the card has a layer of Very Vanilla CS with the elf by the pole stamped in the corner. I colored the elf with the Stampin’ Blends and then used the light Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blend to outline the image, giving it a sort of shadow effect.
For this third card, I reversed the DSP and the neutral layer. I know it’s hard to see, but behind that Whisper White layer is a layer of the Wrapped in Plaid DSP.
Because the second layer was a pattern, instead of neutral, I had to add a small strip of neutral to stamp the sentiment onto.
The Santa is colored using the Stampin’ Blends.
The 1″ circle on the pull tab is Sparkler Glimmer paper.
This card had the fold on the top and has a sentiment stamped in Cherry Cobbler and the present stamped in Memento Black, so it can be colored with the Stampin’ Blends.
What kind of card would you make using this technique?

Hi Stampers. Tomorrow is the day! Are you ready for Santa to arrive tomorrow night? Here is a quick and cute card showing you that “Tis the Season” to be Holly & Jolly.
This card starts with a Cherry Cobbler card base, followed by a layer of Basic Gray that has been dry embossed using the Bricks & Mortar embossing folder.
The Santa (from the Holly Jolly stamp set) was stamped in Memento Black ink onto Whisper White CS and colored with the Stampin’ Blends. He was then die cut and adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Rather than stamp the sentiment on the front, I die cut one from Basic Black CS using the Jolly Season Dies.
Inside the card, you will find a layer of Whisper White with the sentiment (also from the Holly Jolly stamp set) stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink. The present was stamped in the corner in Memento Black ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. If you love coloring – this is a great Christmas set for you, It’s so fun to color! Inventory is running low – grab it before it’s gone!

Hi Stampers. When my husband and I moved to Twin Falls Idaho a few years ago, we got accepted into his cousins group of friends. We often frequent a local restaurant and request the most AMAZING waitress! Carissa is the best waitress ever. Even if we haven’t been in for a few months, she will still remember our drink order and what menu item we usually get. She can take orders from our table of fifteen and not write a single thing down. In addition to the great memory, she also is great at keeping up with us and is always very sweet.
The Thursday before Christmas we all went to have dinner in Carissa’s section and had a great time! She will be having another baby next year, so we decided to give her a Christmas Blessing. At the end of dinner we presented Carissa with this card with a “few dollars” inside from each of us. It made her cry – it was awesome!
Being the card maker of the group, they asked me to make a card. They requested that it be larger that the standard A2 card and have plenty of room for signatures. The over all card size is 4-1/2″ wide and 6-1/4″ tall. (I believe it’s referred to as an A6 size). Because I did not have any A6 envelopes, I made one using DSP and the retired envelope punch board. The inside of the card has another fold so that it opens up to a large area for everyone to sign.
I chose to use the beautiful Christmastime is Here bundle. I used the Designer Series Paper on the front of the card and created a window using the Layering Circle Dies and framed it with Gold Glimmer paper.
Since (of course) I waited until the last minute, I chose to die cut the roses from the DSP instead of stamping them. I think it’s just AWESOME that Stampin’ Up! makes dies that cut images out of the DSP as well as the stamped images!
We all had so much fun that we decided to make this an annual tradition to give someone a Christmas Blessing. I am always happy to partake and provide the handmade card. 🙂

Hi Stampers. Do you like cards that are just a little different? I sure do! I’ve seen a few cards made with mini magnets and couldn’t wait to give it a try! The idea is the magnet makes something slide across the card and you can even take it off. The Ride With Me truck seemed like the perfect fit! This card really makes more sense when you see it, so I did a Facebook Live video (see that video HERE).
I started with a Shaded Spruce card base and stamped the trees from Winter Woods onto a Whisper White layer in Shaded Spruce ink. I then stamped the truck onto Cherry Cobbler CS and cut it out. The window was cut out using an xacto knife and then backed with a tiny piece of Window Sheet. The bumper and rims were colored in with a silver gel pen and the tires with a Light Basic Black Stampin’ Blend. I used the Adhesive Strips to create a rectangle section behind the Whisper White layer where I want the truck to slide back and forth. (see the video for more information). The second magnet was adhered to the back of the truck. (You can order the mini magnets HERE).
A little puff paint added to the Whisper White layer over the trees gives the look of snow. The sentiment was stamped on a strip of Whisper White CS and attached to the back of the truck. You can pull on this flag to make the truck move back and forth.
I used another layer of Whisper White for the interior of the card. I inked the tree once and stamped it twice. That’s how I got the two shades of green. 🙂 The FB Live video should be on my YouTube channel later this week.

Hi Stampers. Two weeks ago I shared a FALL themed sampler that I made. (See that post HERE) While I was in the mood to do samplers, I did several. Today I am showing you the two Chritmas themed ones I made. All the measurements are the same, I just used different papers, ink colors and stamps.
These frames are 8″ x 8″ and can be purchased on Amazon with my affiliate link HERE. The background for both of these are glimmer paper. Most of my squares are 2″ x 2″ colored cardstock with 1-3/4″ x 1-3/4″ layer over those. I used Whisper White CS to stamp onto. There are 1/4″ border between squares. One of the blocks are rectangles – 2″ x 4-1/4″. The 4-1/4″ was made by adding the 2″ plus 2″ plus the 1/4″ gap.
This sampler is a little of everything Christmas – I’ve tried to list all the supplies below. It has a Christmas feel to it complete with Santa And an Elf and a few Christmas trees.
This sampler used mostly the Snowman Season Bundle and Let it Snow DSP, with a few extras thrown in. I found that the Snow Globe Dies worked perfectly for my 2″ squares.
Figuring out the layout took a little bit of math. I started with 2″ x 2″ blocks. Since i wanted 1/4″ borders, I knew I could get three 2″ blocks each way. The three 2″ blocks added to 6″. The gap between blocks were two 1/4″ gaps. Which gave me 6-1/2″. Eight inches minus 6-1/2″ left me with an extra 1-1/2″ – putting half on either side gave me 3/4″ each side. The diagram may help explain what I am trying to say here.
I used the green squares as placeholders while I arranged the four corner squares. Then I centered the other squares between the corners. After all my squares were attached I removed the green placeholder squares.
