The class requirements:

  • Visit my Online Store and place a $50 or more order before tax and shipping and after coupon codes.
  • Once you have made the purchase, fill out the Google Form HERE and submit.

What you will receive:

  • Zoom class with complete step by step instructions to complete each card as we go.
  • PDF with detailed directions and photos
  • A Link to the recorded class after we are done so you can watch it again and make more cards.

A week before the class I will send you the complete PDF of the cards so you can cut all your cardstock gather your supplies, so you are ready to go.  We will NOT be cutting cardstock or doing any die cutting live since all the cards will be different.  Everyone’s cards will be unique since you will pick which color cardstock and ink you want to use along with the Designer Series Paper, Ribbon & Embellishments for each card.

The class will be held on Sunday February 22nd from 1pm – 4pm Eastern Time via Zoom.  This will allow everyone all over the United States to participate live!

Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Kisses for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Happy Halloween!!! I hope you all had a wonderful week and are looking forward to the weekend. It’s the end of the month so most of you know where I’ll be and it’s not in my card studio.

Today’s card it the one I made live yesterday on my YouTube channel. If you were able to hop on to watch, thank you!! If you weren’t and would like to watch my video you can see it Here. The measurements are below so that you can watch and stamp along with me. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Kisses Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Kisses Bundle along with the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper, Traditional Labels Dies, Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines Photopolymer Stamp Set, Gold Foil Sheets and Vellum Specialty Paper (available Nov 4th) for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Kisses Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Kisses Photopolymer Stamp Set in Secret Sea Ink on the panel of Basic White. Cut the sentiment out using the Traditional Labels Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Faceted Snowflakes to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Kisses Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Score the smaller panel of Secret Sea as listed below. Using the Snowflake Kisses Dies, cut snowflakes out on either side of the center score line (but not over the top of it).

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Kisses Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the 2 smaller panels of the Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP to the inside center of the Secret Sea card base. Add Tear & Tape to the 1/2″ sides of the die cut panel. Adhere the 2 Vellum panels to the back of the die cut panel. Fold the die cut panel in half with the tear & tape folded out and place it 1/4″ from the outside edge of the Secret Sea card base. Remove the strip of the Tear & Tape and fold the card base over the die cut panel. Flip the card base over and do the same to the other side.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Kisses Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiments from the Snowflake Kisses stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the 2 panels on Basic White. Stamp the small snowflake image from the Delicate Pines stamp set on the panel in Secret Sea Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. Die cut one of the panels in the corner using the smallest collage of snowflakes dies from the Snowflake Kisses Dies. On the other panel, add the small snowflakes that were cut from the center panel to the corners. Adhere the Basic White panels to the inside of the Secret Sea card base on either side of the mechanism. A tealight will fit inside to make the snowflakes glow.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Kisses Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the snowflake images from the Delicate Pines stamp set in Secret Sea Ink, full strength and stamped off once on scrap paper. Adhere a panel of Elegant Pine Snowflakes to the envelope flap.
