Creativity Abounds Design Team Blog Hop – Holiday Theme (October, 2023)

This is our amazing team! I can’t wait to see everyone’s Holiday Cards!

This month we selected products from the 2023 Stampin’ Up September – December Mini Catalog to create Holiday Themed Cards or Projects. We hope you’ll get some inspiration to work on your Holiday Cards after seeing our Blog Hop designs.

I selected the Beary Cute Stamp Set, Beary Christmas Designer Series paper, Stylish Shapes Dies, Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins, and Adhesive-Backed Snowflake Assortment to design my Holiday Card. I just love this whole set!

Here is the fun Holiday Fun Fold Card I designed….

To make this card:

  • Cut a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/4″ piece of Night of Navy cardstock.
  • Score both ends of the cardstock at 1 1/2″ and 2 1/2″ and use a bone folder to make crisp folds on all 4 score lines.
  • Cut two 1 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ strips of Beary Christmas Designer Series paper and attach it to the two front flaps of the card using your favorite adhesive.
  • Cut one 3″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Beary Christmas Designer Series paper and attach it to the front of the card using your favorite adhesive.
  • Use the largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut out a large Balmy Blue circle.
  • Stamp the “Merry Christmas” sentiment to the bottom of the Balmy Blue circle using Real Red ink.
  • Fussy cut the bear and gifts image from the Beary Christmas Designer Series paper and attach it to the upper portion of the Balmy Blue circle using dimensionals.
  • Attach the Balmy Clue circle to the front of the card using your favorite adhesive.
  • Add three blue Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins to the front of the card.
  • Cut a 3″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock for the inside of the card.
  • Stamp the “Christmas is better Together” sentiment onto the Basic White cardstock using Real Red ink. Stamp two snowflakes onto the Basic White cardstock using Night of Navy ink.
  • Attach the Stamped Basic White cardstock to the inside center of the card.
  • Add 6 white snowflakes to embellish the outside edges of the card.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog -Sea Ranch Creations. I hope you get lots of inspiration from all the cards on the Creativity Abounds Holiday Cards Blog Hop.

Happy Stamping!
