The theme of last night’s Facebook Live was Christmas in July – using the Under the Mistletoe Suite from our Annual Catalog. I absolutely love designer paper projects, and all of these projects feature the beautiful patterns from this suite. If you are not ready for Christmas projects, try these techniques with other papers for other occasions. And don’t forget to stock up on designer paper while it’s on sale in July!
Both of these mini cards are explosion cards. The Real Red card base is 3″ x 6″, scored at 3″, creating a 3″ square finished size. The designer paper on the front measures 2 7/8″ square, and the explosion piece on the inside (see picture below) is a 6″ square. Remember my warning that this size is too thick to fit in our 3″ square envelopes.
The Shaded Spruce version does fit in the 3″ envelopes. The base is 2 3/4″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 2 3/4″, creating a 2 3/4″ finished size. The designer paper on the front measures 2 1/2″, and the explosion piece on the inside is a 5 1/2″ square. The cards shown above are opened up in the picture below.
The tag versions are 2″ wide, and the explosion pieces that fit inside are 4″ squares. Each of the tags is longer than their explosion pieces. The Shaded Spruce base is 2″ x 5″, scored at 2 1/2″. The Real Red base is cut a even longer to allow room for punching with the Scalloped Tag Topper. It was 6″ long, scored at 3″ before punching.
Here is a closer look at the 4″ square card. The Old Olive card base is 4″ x 8″, scored at 4″, and the explosion piece is an 8″ square (shown below). The stamped Whisper White piece measures 3 1/4″ square and the Old Olive mat is a 3 3/8″ square. Each of the strips is 3/4″ x 3 1/2″.
The greetings and large evergreen branch are from “Christmas Pines”.
And finally, we made this quick gift card holder. The designer paper measures 5 1/2″ x 12″, scored at 4″ and 8″. The Old Olive and Real Red cardstock pieces on the front are each 3 5/8″ squares, and the strips are 3/4″ wide.
