Christmas in July - July 25, 2018

I've featured the Four Panel cards a few times this year and here they are again! I wanted to play with the new Under the Mistletoe DSP.

I used the very last bits of my Red sparkle trim on these cards. It wasn't quite enough to make bows, so I just free formed and attached them under the merry Christmas.

Why am I showing 3 pictures of the same card? I used all different placements for the different patterns on the paper. You'll have to pick which one you like best.

I have all the measurements for this technique. Leave your email in the comments, and I will send it to you.
Four Panel cards can be used for Birthday cards (shown previously), Christmas Cards, Thank you cards. Just about any type of card you could imagine!

I usually feature a Santa card on July 25th. I always send one to my teacher friend for her kids. I have an idea for a Santa series. They will be featured soon.

Four Panel Card - A Series

This is a technique I saw from another demonstrator. I can't take credit for it, but I did work out the measurements.

They are included at the bottom of this post.

I've been working on an entire series of these cards. You first saw these from me when I posted my January club cards. It included a Four Panel Card. Each club member received a sheet with the measurements to reproduce these cards.

Can you see the applications for a card like this? Change the background color, mat color, and patterned paper and you have an entirely different card.

Here are a selection of birthday cards. What about Valentines? What about Father's Day?

So many options! Instead of matting the patterned paper with white, use vanilla, or another color that will match your design.

For this set of cards I used the stamp set and coordinating paper from the Occasions catalog... Picture Perfect Birthday, and Picture Perfect Party.

Use a card base, and a mat for a normal A2 card.

The white mat measures 1 7/8" by 2 1/2"
Cut the patterned paper or DSP to measure 1 3/4" by 2 3/8".

2018 Card Club - January

Today is our FIRST meeting of our Card Club for 2018. We're adding two new members today! It's very exciting! The more the merrier!

This year, we meet the 2nd Saturday of each alternating month. I've told the ladies we will make at LEAST 3 cards - one Happy Birthday card, one Thank You card, and one Christmas card. As usual, I already have one bonus card planned. These are usually very quick to make.

Here is our Happy Birthday card. I'm teaching a technique using the Large Letter framelits. The color choice is totally yours - pick a theme! I used other colors and letters with this for Rozella's birthday card a few posts ago.

Here is our Christmas card for today. This card also has lots of options! It doesn't have to be a Christmas card. Just switch out the DSP and base colors. Add a different sentiment and you've got a fantastic card for any occasion!

Here's our bonus card. I used my new toy the Scan and Cut 2 to cut the Panda. That stamp set is in our Sale-A-Bration catalog. I believe these are going to go FAST! They will sell out quickly. If you think they're cute... don't wait!
