Stampin' Up! Traditions of Christmas/Fun Fold

Today I'm sharing a pair of festive fun fold flap cards featuring Stampin' Up! Traditions of Christmas. This collection has such beautiful patterns, rich colors, and elegany gold accents. It's perfect for Holiday crafting!

For these cards, I wanted to highlight the gorgeous florals and metallic details in the paper while adding a little interactive twist with the flap fold.

I created two versions, changing up the colors slightly on each card. It's amazing how just a small shift in color can give the same layout a whole new personality!

The torn edges give you a little dimention, and the embossed pieces add extra wow to the already beautiful gold foil trim. With beautiful paper, a creative fold, and a little ribbon and trim, you can make a handmade card that truly shines.

Stampin' Up! Traditions of Christmas

Do you have a growing pile of scraps from your favorite designer paper?

Today's 1st card is the perfect way to put them to good use! I created this design using Stampin' Up's Traditions of Christmas. (It just came out in the new Holiday Catalog.)

The beautiful, festive patterns in this paper pack are timeless, and even the smallest leftover pieces can add a big impact to your cardmaking.

I arranged several scraps together to create a background full of Holiday cheer, making each piece feel fresh and new again.

"Merry Wishes" ties the whole design together and makes this card ready to send a heartfelt holiday greeting to someone special.
