Hey
friends! Cathy here today with a card featuring some of my favorite papers from
the Joyful Holiday Paper. I
just love the beautiful bold poinsettia prints in this paper pack and the
colors are so fun and fresh for the Holidays!
To start, I cut
the pink poinsettia paper 3” x 5 1/2", centered a Stitched Semi-Circle Die along
the bottom 5 1/2" edge and die-cut the paper. I adhered this piece to the
top of an A2 card base. I die-cut the gray snowflake paper using the same die.
Before I adhered it to the card front, I die-cut a tree from the Rustic Winter Dies from
white and dark gray cardstock and adhered the tree to the left side trimming
the excess along the top edge of the semi-circle.
Next, I cut the
pink polka dot paper 1” x 5 1/2" and adhered it to the bottom of the card
front. To create the double scalloped edges, I cut a piece of white glitter
cardstock and dark brown cardstock 1 “ x 5 1/2" and die-cut the bottom
edge of each piece using the Icing Border Dies. I
overlapped the pieces and adhered them across the bottom of the semi-circle.
For extra interest, I cut a piece of gray cardstock 5/8” x 5 1/2" and
die-cut along the center of the strip using an Frilly Frame Eyelet Lace Die.
I adhered this across the top edge of the glitter cardstock. I love that little
bit of extra detail.
I stamped the
cute reindeer from the Reindeer Games Stamps on
Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored it with Copics and
die-cut it using the coordinating dies. The
large poinsettia from the Classy Christmas Stamps goes
beautifully with the poinsettia paper and I decided to fussy cut the image and
pop it up with foam tape to really make it stand out.
To finish, I die-cut
the gray/white plaid paper using the tag die from the Stitched Semi-Circle
Dies, heat embossed the sentiment and added a Pure White Jewel over
the hole in the tag.
I hope you
enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my

Hello crafty friends. It’s Bobbi here and I’m sharing a few peppermints and
shiny candies on this cute gingerbread house covered in fun holiday papers. I’m using the Gingerbread House dies with the new Joyful Holiday pattern paper pack and the cute penguins from the Penguin Party stamp set and dies. Inside, I also used one of the sentiments from the Holiday Greetings stamps and dies.
To make this gingerbread
house, I cut the elements from the vibrant and coordinating paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper pack and Neenah 80lb. Classic Crest Solar White
cardstock for the white elements. I also used a blue-violet color cardstock for
the window insets and green and pink for the peppermints, too. To make
the white card base, I scored an 8-1/2″ X 5-1/2″ piece of white cardstock and
placed the largest house die on top of the folded cardstock, ensuring the top
cutting line (i.e., the rooftop line) was above the folded edge. This keeps the
fold line intact and creates a scored card base.
In addition to adding the many
cute accent elements from the gingerbread die set, I also applied Pearl Pen (similar to Nuvo Drops)
to add red, glossy candies around the roof line and on the bottom. Next, I
stamped and colored a cute penguin using the Penguin Party stamp set and dies. I colored the penguin using Copic Sketch markers in 100,
C7, C5, C3, C1, YR68, YR09, RV09, RV55 and YG03. I added a garland of red
candies between the penguin’s hands, too. I used a white gel pen to add extra
“fluff” to the penguin’s Santa hat.
Inside the card, I added
an outline of the pink confetti paper (cut out using the two different sizes of
house outlines in the die set), two more penguins and
a script phrase using the Holiday Greetings stamps and dies. I used blue
ink for the script. Using my Copic markers, I added tiny confetti dots of color
around the sentiment and penguins to match the pink pattern paper. I kept them
tiny so that they would not bleed through the white paper. I used the following
Copic Sketch markers to color the penguins: 100, C7, C5, C3, C1, YR68, YR09,
RV09, RV55, RV02, R29, and YG03.
