Trimming the Town Cards

Before I get to last night’s Facebook Live projects, I want to bring our great Designer Paper Sale to your attention. Select papers are 15% off in the online store – but only through October 31! Spend $35 or more with Host Code M4R2UBVP in October, and I will send you a package of Holiday Rhinestones and a handmade card:)

My cards in last night’s Live used two of the papers that are on sale – Trimming the Town and Heartwarming Hugs. This is a great time to stock up on these papers for the holiday season!

Starting with the card on the right…

I made this card to show off as much as possible of the 12″ square panorama that is included in the Trimming the Town collection. It uses a 4″ x 12″ strip of the paper. It is scored at 3 1/4″ and 8 3/4″, and adhered to Misty Moonlight pieces that each measure 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.

The snowflake designer paper and Whisper White pieces each measure 4″ x 2 1/8″. I covered the seam between pieces with ribbon on the front panel, and with a 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ strip of designer paper on the inside panel.

The greetings are from “Tag Buffet”.

The scene itself provides enough of a focal point. I simply added a few popped up images for decoration – like the wreath and tree at the church, and the house and tree on the designer paper strip. I also added a few adhesive snowflakes to the front of the card.

My next card type uses a few patterns of the paper to create flaps over the greeting. The flaps have openings to reveal the greeting on the inner panel.

Again, the greeting is from “Tag Buffet” as are the images.

Dimensions are as follows:

  • Misty Moonlight 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
  • Designer Paper 4″ x 6″, scored 3/4″ on one end (plan placement carefully on directional patterns)
  • Whisper White – cut just a bit smaller than 4″ x 5 1/4″

Here’s another sample, made the same way with paper from the Heartwarming Hugs collection.

The stamps are from “Press On” and “Heartwarming Hugs”.
