How to make a luminary with the hoho paper pumpkin

Paper pumpkin October 2022 Alternates

 Here is a card and a luminary alternatives for the hohoho paper pumpkin that I intend to hang off the Christmas tree. The tee light  is adhered to by tear and tape. Simply add the tear and tape around the tee light and then cut about an 1/8  to 1/4 of an inch off the end of the crumb cake die cut. Then wrap. I did cut an envelope to make the bands and the handle. You can use the other striped piece from the kit for the handle. The strips are 1/2 inch by 3 inches. I did place 4 strips 2- sides from and back. I covered the seam with the back strip. 

The card is embossed with the winter time 3D smaller embossing folder that is made for the mini cut and emboss machine. Worked beautifully and any of these minis could be used. I added the white craft stampin ink on the folder with a dauber.

How to create a slider card from a tag!! 9 of 10 weeks of fall



 Here we go after this only one more left and yes, my fall is moving into the Christmas holiday! Has to be only 9 weeks before the Holidays. 

Here are two cards that were made from the Santa Express designer series paper the celebrate with tags bundle and the Christmas Scottie stamp set. These are slider tags that were made fairly easily  

Materials -  A standard card base 2 tags of the tab kind - you will use only 1 1/2 . The slider is made from 1/2 of the one tag   The other half with the tabs created the second photo card. You will need two 4 by 51/4 pieces of dsp cut in the diagonal  one piece cut top left to bottom right and other cut top right to bottom left  of same side. Easier if one side has no direction  you will need a piece of white cardstock that is 2 by 3 1/8 - inside peekaboo section with Merry Christmas and snow flakes from the Christmas Scottie stamp set . Check out the video for more details  https://fb.watch/grWgnzy38c/


How to make a card with tags


I love making this style of card. Designer paper is cut to 12 by 5 1/4 - then score at 4,7 and 10. Fold accordion style so largest section ends up on a 4 1/4 by 5 1/2.  Then the first smallest flap fold front and is glued down to next section which is 3 inches wide.  Enjoy.

This is the first card I developed. The tree screemed to me Halloween. I used the highly used and enjoyed tear back peekaboo style of card. I simply used the white craft ink pad.

How to make your label fit your card & featuring framed florets

                 https://youtu.be/mXZ5EmIyQMo

 This is #7 of 10 weeks of fall ! So here I have a flip card design using the framed florets. The first half of video is how to incorporate your label and sentiment  into your card without it looking like an add on to the card. Example photo below of what was discussed with many more examples on video. Even with the flip card I make sure the sentiment blends in with the card thru masking the snowflakes. 2nd half of video is the card instructions.  The Blue card on the left is completely symmetrical i.e. either side can be the front.  If that is what you are going for keep images to the right. The white card is not. I kept sentiment on left so only flowers are front of card. Both work but blue on is better. 

Cardstock needed : 5 1/2 x6 3/4 - Will be cut and scored          *Long side cuts : start and in at 1 1/4 and cut down to 41/4 - do this to both top and bottom .                                         *Short side cuts : start at 1/4 down and over to 2 3/4 - this cut occurs 4x - top- bottom -left -right                                  **Scoring long side from top to 1 1/4 @2 3/4 and 4 Repeat for bottom
