Good Morning, I want to show you all the cards I made with this month's paperpumkin
.
I loved working with different textures, techniques with all the cards this month. I love getting my Paper Pumpkin each month and seeing what they have sent me. You get everything you need to make beautiful cards, gift bags and tags. I added vellum, deer's and snowman to mine. Hope you enjoyed my start on the Holiday season.
I called this card Festive Trees, now does that give you a hint of what it is. I love Christmas and Christmas Trees. I saw something similar on Pinterest and put my own turn on it.

Welcome to the last Blog Hop of the from SU Stars for 2012. This year has gone by rather quickly for me. This month's theme was Holiday/Winter. I decided to make something I haven't done in a long time a Easel Card. I love the ease and simplicity of this card.
If you came from , Denise Foor blog then have landed in the right place wasn't her card just wonderful. If you want to start at the beginning go tohttp://su-stars.blogspot.com/.
Let's get started!! Here is my Easel Card.
Supplies:
Card Stock Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Whisper White
Ink Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso
Stamp set More Merry Messages
Ribbon Satin Stitched (Gumball Green)
Designer Series Paper Festival of Prints paper stack
Embossing Folder Petals a Plenty
Markers Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green, Crumb Cake
Accessories Red Sticky Tape, Stampin Dimensionals, Big Shot Machine and Basic Pearls
I will give details on how made my card, but there is a wonderful video on yu-tube that explains it much better than I. I have posted that below. You also can go to Splitcoaster's and type in easel card and get information on different sizes as well. I chose to do a vertical card, changing up the sizes a little to get the effect I wanted.
Directions:
First cut a piece of Whisper White card stock 41/4" x 11, this will be the base or easel.
Then I scored at 5 1/2, 8 1/4 and folded on the crease line with my bone folder.
I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" for the card front.
Next I cut the layers for the card front, 1st layer 4" x 5 1/4" in Gumball Green, 2nd 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"
in Whisper White, 3rd layer 3 1/4" x 2 1/4" in Cherry Cobbler, 4th layer 2 1/2" x 3" in Whisper White.
Then I cut another piece designer series paper 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"
Now I cut 4 pieces of card stock for that a piece of Whisper White 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" and ran that thru the Big Shot as well using the Petals a Plenty embossing folder.
Then I cut a piece of Gumball Green 1 3/4" x 4 1/4", a piece of Cherry Cobber 1 3/8" x 4" and last Whisper White 1 1/8" x 3 3/4" and stamped my message on that piece.
After you get all the piece's cut out and stamped, you now start assembling the card front. I ran piece of the Whisper White thru the Big Shot using my Petals a Plenty embossing folder. Stamped my imagine on another piece. Then glued them all together and added some Ribbon.
Then I glued the pieces onto the base or inside of the card. For some added support and a little Bling I added Pearls on each side of the bottom pieces. Then I put sticky tape on the small piece of my easel the 2 1/4 x 4 1/4. Remove red film and place the top part of my face card onto it. Now you should be able to open and stand up your easel using the Pearls and Message.
I hope you have enjoyed my card for you today and now it is time to hop on over to B.Jayne at her blog http://jaynestamps.com, I know you will love what she has done for you.
Thanks for stopping by. I love comments, so be sure to leave one. I hope you too find some time to create something fun for yourself...Enjoy!

Next I sponged the edges of the Whisper White with Always Artichoke.
Then I stamped using the Bird stamp from Beautiful Season in the middle of the card stock.
Next using Stampin UP Markers and Aqua painter I colored the bird, leaves, berries and stems. (I chose to switch colors of my birds one in Soft Suede and Early Espresso and the other in Pacific Point and Marina Mist).
I stamped Merry Christmas using Petite Pairs stamp set and then punched it out using the Decorative Label punch.
I colored the berries in Cherry Cobbler and then added Dazzling Details in Cherry Cobbler to make them sparkle.
Next I assembled the pieces and adhered to my card front. Adding the crimped paper ribbon for texture. For the inside I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock about 5" x 4" and run it through the Big Shot. Then I stamped a Holiday message from the Beautiful Season stamp set in Early Espresso.
I stamped the envelopes with the leaves using Always Artichoke.

I stamped as much of the bird as I could get in Early Espresso, glued the pieces together.
For the inside I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock 2' x 2" and then stamp To and From using Early Espresso and the Chock full of Cheer stamp set.
Next I punched a hole using the hand held punch and ran Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine thru.
For the next tag I stamped A Gift for you using the stamp from Beautiful Season and Always Artichoke marker, then punched it out using the Curly punch.
This finishes the Christmas Card and Tag Gift Set. I hope you have enjoyed my first attempt at my Twelve Days of Christmas. I had a lot of fun making each item sometimes it was hard for me not to post them anyway. I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and Holidays.
This is the last project for my Twelve Days of Christmas and it will take two days to cover all that I have to show you. It has been exciting and fun creating these projects, I just love Christmas and anything to do with it.
Today project is how to make the case cover, and getting my holder ready for my cards, gift tags.
Here is my case cover;
Supplies need for this project:
Card Stock Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White
Designer Series Paper Be A Good Cheer
Stamp Set Beautiful Season, Petite Pairs
Markers Always Artichoke, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler
Soft Suede, Marina Mist, Pacific Point, Lucky Limeade
Stampin Ink Always Artichoke, Early Espresso and Soft Suede
Punches Decorative Label and Curly Label
Tools and Accessories:
Aqua Painter, sticky tape, snail, Paper Crimper, Dazzling Details in Cherry Cobbler and Clear Mount Stamp Case
Directions:
Cut the designer series paper 10 1/2" x 7". I used Be a good Cheer and put the Christmas on the outside. Slip this into the sleeve to make sure it fits. Remove to add layers and tag or leave as is.
Next I cut a piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock 6 5/8" x 4 11/16", then the top layer is Whisper White and cut to 5 7/16" x 4 1/4"
Next I double stamped the birds from Beautiful Season to where the branches over lap but the birds do not, using Soft Suede.
Next using the Stampin UP Markers I colored in the birds, leaves,berries and stems.
I added Dazzling Details in Cherry Cobbler over the berries to give a little Bling to them!
Next I stamped my message on Whisper White card stock and then punched it out with the Decorative Label Punch.
Assembled and adhered them together. You can just put the card layer over the designer paper and it will stay, I used glue dots on each corner and glued to my designer paper, this gift is traveling back to my daughter in Indiana for Christmas, so I wanted to make sure it didn't move.
This finished the holder for the cards and tags. On Friday I will show you the Christmas cards, gift cards and tags for part Two. Until then I hope you have enjoyed your stop today.
