Freshly Brewed Projects – Trees

Today is Blog Hop Day with my friends from Australia.  Our theme this week is Trees.  I can’t wait to see what everyone creates!

For my project, I used the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley on page 7 of the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.

I love the Medley because it includes SO MUCH coordinated product.  Stamps, dies, DSP (Designer Series Paper), Trim, Embellishments.  The only thing I had to add was the cardstock, ink and red jewels!

This photo shows the top of the card, so you can see how it’s constructed.  This fold is called a Triple Cube Pop-Up, and I will be teaching it to my stampers soon during a Friday Fun Fold class on Zoom.

This is what the card looks like when it’s folded and ready to be mailed.  It will fit in one of our regular medium envelopes!  How cool is that!

I hope you enjoyed this project!  Now, click on the links below to visit the ladies “down under” and see what they’re up to this week.

Freshly Brewed Projects Trees

 

 

Double Dutch Door Gnomes

Last week, I taught a FREE Friday Fun Fold class to my stampers.  We made a Double Dutch Door card.  I used the  Gnome for the Holidays stamp set for my sample.

To me, the top of the tree stamp looked unfinished, so I stamped and punched a few leaves using the Harvest Hellos stamp set and Apple Builder Punch.

I decided the string of lights needed a little bling, so I added rhinestones that I colored with my Stampin’ Blends.

I used the hat from one of the gnome stamps to make the little tree on the inside.

I thought it turned out very cute.  What do you think?

Here’s the fixin’s:

Jar of Flowers Easel Card

One of my favorite suites in the Annual Catalog is Flowers for Every Season. I just love the Jar of Flowers Bundle, which includes a jar punch.

For this card, I punched the jar shape from a Window Sheet and added it over the jar with glue dots to make it look like glass.  I colored the flowers with Blends and added Wink of Stella to make them sparkle.

An Easel Card is one of the easiest Fun Fold Cards to make.  You simply add an extra score line to the center of the front of the card, then attach your layers only to the bottom half, so that when you bend that extra fold, your card will “stand up”.  You’ll also need to add a popped up piece to the inside, so the “easel” will have something to rest against to keep it standing.

I hope you enjoyed this card.  If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below.  I’d love to hear from you.
