Today I'm sharing the October edition to my monthly series "12 Months of Christmas" and I made it a Pop Up card using dies by Karen Burniston.
I kept the front fairly simple, because all the fun is on the inside. Since the patterned paper pad is one I have had for several years, there are lots of partial sheets in it. One was a 12 x 12" sheet of borders so I trimmed a strip that included two borders and decided to add it on an angle to the sparkly plaid paper. This layout is based on the August '23 Sheetload of cards, which creates A2 cards. This one is a 5 x 7" card.
I added both the Merry Christmas and Merry Christmas shadow to the front as well as some gold snowflake peel off stickers.
Inside I used more of the border pieces and the Little Label Pop Up! Using the included decorator dies I cut gold frames for the outer two labels and added a sparkly peel off snowflake sticker in the centre. Then a larger snowman element was added to the center.
The snowman pieces were all fussy cut from different papers in the package. Even though it's an older paper pad I still love getting it out every year to make a couple of holiday cards.
I added a space for a stamped sentiment (and where we will sign our names) using the Labels Crosshatch. Between the sparkle in the patterned paper, the gold metallic card stock, the narrow gold tape AND the gold snowflake stickers - this is a nice sparkly holiday card. 😊
Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
