Sentimental Christmas Fun Fold Card


I think the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper is just so soft, beautiful and a little bit retro. I also love that for every pack of this paper you buy, Stampin' Up will donate $3 to children's literacy in the US, which makes it twice as nice. So please buy this DSP! It makes such lovely cards--I used 3 different DSPs on this one card. And I am not sure you can tell by looking at the picture above, but it is a fun fold too! If you get stuck, or are just a more visual learner, please watch my Facebook Live below where I made this card. Then come back every Monday at 1 pm PST to make another card with me.

Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:

1. Lost Lagoon cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 7 1/4" scored on the long side at 4 1/4". 
2. Basic White cardstock--a piece 4" by 5 1/4" for the inside of your card and 3/4" scrap about 4" long
3. Poppy Parade cardstock--a piece cut with the 7th largest Deckled Circle dies
4. Sentimental Christmas DSP--the front piece is 5 1/4" by 2 3/4", the striped piece is 1 1/4" by 5 1/4", and the deer piece is cut with the 8th largest Deckled Circle dies
5. Stamp Sets--Greetings of the Season
6. Dies--Deckled Circles
7. Ink--Pretty Peacock and Poppy Parade
8. Real Red & White Adhesive-Backed Peppermints
9. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue and Seal+), Paper Trimmer, Take Your Pick Tool,  Regular Dimensionals

Start by folding the card base along the score line. Then attach the striped piece of DSP to the inside Basic White piece--DO NOT GLUE THIS DOWN YET! Attach the deer Deckled Circle to the Poppy Parade circle. Please note that when I did the video below, I used the smaller, single deer from the DSP and therefore used the next smaller Deckled Circles. 

Now score the circle on the front right side, about 3/8" from the edge and fold the small piece back. Attach the circle to the BACK of the inside white piece by putting glue on the back of the small piece of the circle (the Poppy Parade side). Then attach the inside/white piece to the card as below. Now close the card up and put something heavy like a book or a punch on the circle to weigh it down.


Back to the front of the card now. I did cut the front piece from the middle of one of the sides of this piece of paper so that I could save the corners for something else. Attach the front/candy cane piece to the front of the card.


For the sentiment I used the 3/4" scrap piece of Basic White and stamped the Merry in Pretty Peacock and the Christmas in Poppy Parade. Now flag both ends and attach just the left side to the bottom of the card. Scatter 1 of each size of the Peppermints on the card. 


Below is my Facebook Live from 10/28/24 where I make this card, and show you some tips to help with the cardmaking. Join me every Monday at 1 pm PST for some cardmaking fun over on Stamp with Dr Robin on Facebook.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5...
