Black and Gold Bookbinding Card I had a Holiday Card Buffet this past weekend and this was one of the cards we made. I love making cards using non-traditional colors for Christmas. Not that red and green aren't a great combo, but the black and gold in this card steps it up to something elegant and special. You could also use this card as a New Years card, or an elegant birthday, anniversary or congratulations card. At the end of this post is another card I made with this fold in different Designer Series Paper.   We made a lot of gorgeous cards this weekend. If you want the pdf for ALL 19 cards that were available at my holiday card buffet, please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and I will sell it to you for only $25. Now on to making this card. Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock--Card base 5 1/2 by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at 4 1/4" and 5 1/4" folded in half along the score line. Another piece 4 by 1 1/4" 2.

  Mini Pocket Envelope Holiday  Card/Gift Card Holder I really had fun today making these cards with the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Mini Pocket Envelope dies (see page 172 in the Annual Catalog). This makes a beautiful card but can also be used to hold money, a gift card or even a Ghiradelli chocolate square. Such a fun gift and a card in one! Of course, this card could be easily translated to a birthday card, or any other occasion.  Let's make these cards! I will call the card on the left card 1 and the card on the right card 2.

  Cards That Show off Both Sides of Your DSP Part 2 Stampin' Up has some of the most beautiful paper in the world. Sometimes it is hard to decide which side to use, but this card, and the one I uploaded yesterday, show off BOTH sides of the Fitting Florets DSP that is on sale to customers starting today 11/1/22. The Fitting Florets stamp set and dies will be in the next mini catalog so this is an early release, but the DSP, as well as the Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirl embellishments and the coordinating Christmas stamp set, Framed and Festive, are only while supplies last, so don't wait to order. I plan to order another package of this DSP.  If you are a visual learner, you might want to watch my Facebook Live linked below, or watch on my YouTube channel, Stamp with Dr Robin.
