Pals November Blog Hop: Home for the Holidays

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is “Home for the Holidays.” We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Home for the Holidays evokes such a peaceful and wintery feeling for me. So I chose the Classic Christmas bundle with the gorgeous and shiny Snowflake Magic Specialty Designer Paper to create a ‘magical’ winter holiday feel.

This fun fold is very simple. I got the inspiration from Sue Stampfield. Here are the measurements:

• Lost Lagoon cardstock 4-1/4” x 11” scored at 2-3/4” and 5-1/2”
• Snowflake Magic DSP 2-1/2” x 4”
• Winter Meadow DSP 4” x 4”
• Lost Lagoon cardstock 2-1/2” x 2-1/2”
• Basic White cardstock 2-1/2” x 4” Inside piece

I scored the card base to form a “Z,” like the photo above. I attached the Snowflake DSP panel to the front of the card. I used the Cut and Emboss machine to cut the square ornate pattern out using the Winter Meadow DSP. I also cut a square using the Lost Lagoon cardstock and a different die from the bundle.

I heat embossed a sentiment from the stamp set using white embossing powder. I used dimensionals to attach the Lagoon square to the ornate piece, and then used tape adhesive to attach ONE HALF ONLY of the diecut piece to the front panel.

I stamped on the inside white panel before adhering it to the inside of the card, making sure it wouldn’t show when the card is closed.

I added an embellishment to the front, and I was done!

The Snowflake Wonder Specialty DSP and the Classic Christmas Bundle are two of my favorite products from the Current Mini Catalog.

This funfold makes it easy to create all kinds of beautiful holiday cards! All the products used in this project can be found below. Just click on one to start shopping with me!

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month, when our theme will be Winter Wonderland. Until then, have fun in your craft space.
