"HAVE A HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS" cards for kits *w/measurements

I was a busy stamper yesterday. I put together a bunch of "card kits" for my mom and I to assemble.  I made 10 kits for each of these cards.   The one on the left was done in red, but the rest I did with green layers because the papers looked better with green than the red.  I used a bunch of paper that was in a SSS card kit that I bought from someone.

These are super duper easy!!!   These are great to make with some pattern paper from a 6 x 6 paper pad, because the pattern paper is cut at 3" x 3", so you'll get 4 cards from each sheet.

LEFT card:

card base:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" or 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2"
red/green layer:   4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
white layer:    4" x 5 1/4"

pattern paper:  3" x 3"
red/green layer:  3 1/8" x 3 1/8"

RIGHT card:

card base:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" or 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2"
red layer:   4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
white layer:    4" x 5 1/4"

pattern paper:  3" x 3"
red/green layer:  3 1/8" x 3 1/8"

sentiment layer ~ this will be sized for your sentiment

white layer:  1 78" x 3"
red layer:   2" x 3 1/8"

flag banner was cut at 1" wide, trimmed ends and cut to 1" long

Sentiment is from a StampsOfLife stamp set.

SSSC296 "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" card

I had a card in mind when I saw this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge Sketch #296, but it ended up going a different route.   I don't have with me any yellow paper that is bright like the pattern paper, so I went with what I had.  I didn't realize until I was attaching the flag in the upper right corner, that it too had circles on it.   I had been cutting and putting together card kits for my mom and I to assemble, and in the middle of all that I made this card.   I'll stick it in my birthday card stash.   

Here's this week's SSSC296 Sketch:

PCCC171 "YOUR KINDNESS IS TRULY APPRECIATED" card

ahhhhh.. I'm on a card making roll today.  In a FB group I am in, I saw a post about a Challenge on the Paper Craft Crew Challenge site.. off I went to check it out because I love a card challenge.  The theme for this challenge is "Give Thanks!"   Since I had my Hero Arts Truly Appreciated stamp set out on my desk, I decided to use a sentiment from it on my card.   I used some papers from my Carta Bella Bundled Up paper pad.


Here is the PCCC171 Challenge:

SUPPLIES:
card stock:  brown, light blue, white
pattern paper: Carta Bella Bundled Up
stamps:  Hero Arts Truly Appreciated
ink: Versafine Black
accessories:  Scor-Pal, Paper Piercer, Mini White Brads from the EyeletOutlet, MFT Circle Stax Die-namics and Foam Tape

November SFYTT "SENDING YOU LOTS OF HUGS" card

I finally cut into a Doodlebug paper pad that I bought several weeks ago.  I just love all the Red, White and Blue papers that are in it.   I went to make this a Thank You card.. however I found out rather quickly that I evidently shipped one of my favorite Paper Smooches stamp sets and wasn't going to be able to use it.  The sentiment I used is from a Hero Arts set that is also one of my favorites, I love the big sentiments in it.  

I used a Reverse Confetti sketch.   It's their November SFYTT sketch.  I don't own any Reverse Confetti stamps, so I couldn't enter my card on their site.   I think I might need to check their stamps out and see if any need to make my home their new home.

SUPPLIES:

card stock:  Papertrey Ink Hawaiian Shores, Bazzill Red, and White
pattern paper:  Doodlebug Patriotic Parade
stamps:  Hero Arts Truly Appreciated
ink; Versafine black
accessories:  Scor-Pal, Scor-Tape, Fun Foam, Enamel Dots from TheEyeletOutlet.com, Cuttlebug Heart embossing Folder, SSS Heart die.

MOJO424 "SENDING BIG HOLIDAY WISHES" card

About two years ago I decided to cut down nearly every single 12 x 12 sheet of pattern paper that I owned, into 6 x 6 pieces.  I bought a bunch of plastic storage bins that the 6 x 6 fit it.  I filled either 3 or 4 of the bins. I shipped all but one to our next duty station.  This bin doesn't happen to have the pieces of papers that said who the paper was made by, so I have no clue who the paper is from.  

I like the Mojo Monday Sketch #424 so much that I decided to make another card using the sketch.

SUPPLIES:
card stock:  white, brown
pattern paper:  unknown
stamps:  Simon Says Stamps Holiday Stamp set
ink: SU Early Espresso
accessories:  Scor-Pal, Paper Piercer, Large Red Brads and Fun Foam

SIP Challenge #23 "I BELIEVE IN SANTA" card using Fancy Pants Designs papers

I found a new to me Sketch Challenge site ~ Stamp Ink Paper.    I pulled out the Fancy Pants Designs Wish Season paper pack that was sent to me last week and got to making a card.    I used my Santa Claus stamp that I bought at Hobby Lobby along with punch outs from the paper pack.  I am not fond of, actually do not like at all, the color pink.. but this is a pretty shade, so I thought I'd use it. I almost stamped the Santa in pink, but that thought lasted for a split second and I stamped him in a SU Gray ink.  

 here is the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge #23 Sketch that I used:

SUPPLIES:

card stock: Bazzill Gray, White
pattern paper: Fancy Pants Designs paper pack Wish Season
stamps:  Delta Rubber Stampede Holiday Santa Collage
ink: SU Gray
accessories:  Scor-Pal, Fun Foam and Foam Tape

SSSC295 "HAVE A HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS" cards

About a month ago I purchased a big group of StampsOfLife stamps from a lady on SCS.  I pulled out a Christmas set that has this sentiment in it.  After cutting everything and then stamping the sentiment, I didn't realize it was so big and I probably should've used something smaller, but I liked it so I went with it.

card stock: Red, White, Green
pattern paper:  Around the Block  "Color Me Christmas" ~ bought at Tuesday Morning
