CAPTURE MEMORIES WITH WONDER OF THE SEASON

Do you have shoeboxes filled with old Christmas photos that somehow never make it into a scrapbook? Let’s face it—when the celebration is all over, sometimes you just want to put your feet up and get comfy with a good book. You’ll put those Christmas photos in a scrapbook someday . . . right?

Or maybe you’d like to start planning now how you and your customers will preserve those merry 2020 Christmas memories. Either way, we’ve got you covered with the perfect memory preservation solution: the Wonder of the Season Memories & More Card Pack.

This gorgeous collection has 48 cards in two sizes, 12 specialty cards with gold foil, and eight sticker sheets. The double-sided cards are perfect for card fronts—or for scrapbooks. Simply tuck them into our Variety Pack 6" x 8" (15.2 x 20.3 cm) Photo Pocket Pages with your photographs—maybe add a little journaling—and your page is done. Scrapbooking does not get easier than that!

In our second sample, we show how you can use these beautifully designed cards to step up a traditional 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) scrapbook page. Arrange them artistically on the page with a favorite photo. If you prefer, get fancy with the addition of embossing and some banner shapes (as we did here). Even with a little extra stamping or a few embellishments—these gorgeous scrapbook pages are so easy to put together that you’ll still have time to get cozy with your book and rest after the Christmas fun subsides.

DONATING UNUSED CARDS

As a card maker, you probably have more cards lying around than you can use. Right? Be honest! We all have stacks of them, and we love them so much that we don’t want to throw them away. Or—we’re practical and throwing out perfectly good cards seems wasteful. Well, we have a solution for your “cards without homes”: You can donate them!

Many venues are grateful for free greeting cards—retirement and nursing homes, charity/goodwill shops, the Red Cross, military organizations, and more. Thank you cards are always welcome. And with Christmas being just around the corner, your unused Christmas cards will be received with special appreciation.

Just think! Donating cards allows you to spread joy and appreciation—and it helps you clear your space! Suddenly you’ll have room to make more! So contact a local venue today and see if they would like a dozen or more of your unused cards. Remember the envelopes, and leave a business card. You’re doing others a favor—and advertising your business at the same time.

Who knows? Card donation might become an important part of your demonstratorship’s outreach—to the degree that you begin making a “plus one” card for your “good causes” box. You may even want to get together with friends and customers and put together a box of cards that a charity can sell off for a good cause. Whatever you do, have fun donating your cards!

JUST CASE IT

To CASE (Copy and Share Everything) is something nearly every experienced papercrafter does on a regular basis. You see a card in a catalog, for instance, focus on something you like about it, then re-create it with your own spin.

You can add layers or simplify the project, but the main point is to enjoy being inspired by the work of others. Our minds start working when we study and learn from a project someone else has made.

So pick up the catalog and look through the pages until you find something that really makes you want to pull out all your crafting supplies and start working. Copy the project, then use the following ideas to make it your own:

Copy the layout. Copy the color scheme. Copy the technique.

Our talented artist CASEd a card from the August–December 2020 Mini Catalog to create samples for this article. Why not see what you can find in this great publication, then CASE a festive card? Whatever you do, have a fabulous time!

HOW TO MAKE A SHAKER TAG Freezin' Fun Bundle

 

POINSETTIA PETALS STEP-BY-STEP

When creating projects, it’s important to consider the abilities of every customer—from beginner to avid crafters. By using similar products and the same layout, creating a card for every crafter to replicate is simple (and fun!).

CASUAL To begin creating, stamp the sprig images on the card front in Cinnamon Cider ink. Stamp the flower in Real Red ink and the leaves in Shaded Spruce ink on Whisper White Cardstock. Tip: To create depth, stamp off the Two-Step Stamping flower and leaf dimensional images. Die cut the stamped images and adhere them to the card front. Stamp the sentiment in Cinnamon Cider ink on a Whisper White Cardstock label, adhere the label to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals, and you have a fabulously festive card in just minutes!

AVID Step up the second card by adhering Designer Series Paper to the front. Brighten the poinsettia and leaves using Cinnamon Cider, Poppy Parade, Real Red, and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends. We also added a sprig cut from Copper Foil Sheets using the Poinsettia Dies. Tip: Fold the ribbon in half lengthwise before cutting the notches on each end.

STEPPED UP AVID For our fanciest card, we adhered additional flowers and leaves, cut the label using the Tasteful Labels Dies, and added more Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper to the card front. We also took the artistry to an entirely new level by creating more light and dark contrast and expanding the color palette with Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends.
