Its’s Time for the “5 cards” using The Stamps of Life Card Club Kit
Today I will be posting 5 New cards using the Happy Holiday’s September 2021 Stamps of Life Card Kit. This kit goes with the September Hollywreath2stamp & die club set. In the Card Kit you receive everything you need to make at least 10 cards but I have made more than 12 before using one kit. What do you get? C/S, a 6 “x 6” Patterned Paper Pad, (12) A2 envelopes, embellishments, stamps that go with that months stamp and die club, and more. Below I will be posting 5 cards I made using the kit. AND “How I made this” card instructions.

Card #1
A2 size card 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” (folded)
To make this fold-it I cut all my pieces for the fold-it first & then I started decorating the pieces. I first did my stenciling on my roof and house front. Then I made ALL the pieces listed below and set them aside and when I finished I started assembling the front of my housE. It was really Easy to put together when all the pieces are already done. Use ur kiss cut pad if you want to.
To make the door & window: cut 6 windows…glue 2 windows together at the center then layer the other 4 on top of each other (if you want dimension). To make the door. I traced the shadow die to the door on a piece of powdered sugar cardstock. Then I took a small circle die and matched that circle to the top of the door piece. If you want it like mine trace it so the corners line up with the circle. Then cut it out-this makes you a mold to keep for the next one so you can make whatever color door you want. I then cut out a small wreath for the door and the top front of the house from the New Holiday Wishes paper pad. I used the small wreaths on the Holiday Wishes c/s. The Tree is made using the tree die from the Truck Fold-it. I used the tiny bows to decorate the tree along with the mini lites from the Reindeer2stamp. The house lights are from Holly4Christmasstamps. Tiny hollys are in the Holiday Wishes paper pad. The Snowflakes are from the Snowflakes background die set. I used the plaid stencil with candy c/s and ink and the grid stencil with mint chip c/s and ink. Colors are spearmint, strawberry, banana, gingersnap, mint chip, & candy. I used the 3’d gel pens around the door in pink and white. Let them dry and colored the white with the red CC alcohol ink. I used the Spectrum Noir Sparkle cleat pens on the window and snowflakes along with the *3’d ink pens. -see my tip on my 3 ‘d ink pens
Making this card was Super fast and easy. You will basically used only things from the card kit.
Super Easy card and a fun card to make. (Just has A lot of little pieces)
Enjoy

Card #2 A2 size card folded
Let’s get started:
Using the Holiday Wishes Paper pad I die cut the bow & the wreath from the already colored designs in the paper pad. I then used my 3’d ink pens to decorate them and make them sparkly. Set aside…I put mine next to a small fan. I now cut out the background outlines ( I used white glitter paper) for the bow and the wreath. Use whatever color you wanted use…I actually used white glitter paper for all the background papers. I then used the Holiday Wishes dies that came in your kit and cut them out in Spearmint c/s and cut out the background in white glitter paper. I then glued the words to the white glitter paper background. (set aside)
The Blue Jay cardstock measures (4 1/4” x 5 1/2”) I stenciled with blue jay ink using the plaid stencil. I the cut a scalloped frame using the the largest scalloped rectangle and the 2nd largest stitched rectangle together to make a frame to go on top of the plaid paper I made. I just glued it down to secure it. Then I added dimensional tape on the back of of my wreath, bow, and words and secured them on top of there background papers. It’s now time to put ur card together. I put more dimensional tape onto the background paper of the wreath and the bow. I measured the ribbon and secured it with double sided tape. Then put my wreath in place and added my bow. (I did add some wet glue on the tape so it secured)
Now add your words I did add more dimensional tape with wet glue and put it in place. The last thing I did was add white 3’d ink pen around the scalloped border. Set aside and let dry for at least 12 hours. Decorate the inside and don’t forget to sign ur card. Super fun and easy card.
Enjoy

Card #3
A2 size Shaker card
I used the #5 & 4 stitched rectangle dies for frame-but make whatever size frame you want. You just want to have it go right up to the edge. If you want ur frame to be larger just adjust the larger size die.
This shaker is so easy. All you need (1) A2 card base, 1 piece of paper 4 1/4”x 5 1/4” to go on top of the A2 base. (If you want some white edges to show like mine I made my cranberry paper a little smaller). I took a piece of powder sugar card stock and 1 piece of paper from the paper pad measuring 4 1/8” x 5 1/8” (cut these 2 papers together so your cuts are exactly the same size) using the rectangle dies (see above) cut out the center. Keep the white center paper. Now cut a piece of acetate to attach to the bottom of the patterned paper. I use double sided tape. I then add it to my powdered sugar card so and the acetate is now in between the layers like a sandwich. Add dimensional tape to the underneath side and put some baby powder around the inside of the shaker so ur sequins don’t stick. Powder up the white piece of paper which will fit right in the window of your card. Gently put your sequins in and add the top piece to your card. Add your frame & your words. Decorate with 3’d ink pen the little trees, add a ribbon, a bow and some holly from the paper pad. This is a medium hard card. But if you make everything and then just put it together it’s not that hard. I love when I can use my dies to cut out the images in the paper pad.

Card #4 A2 size card (folded)
Holiday wishes card kit
Hollywreath2stamp set
Slimline panel’s snowflake dies
Snowman2stamp stamps and dies
Markers
Green glitter paper
Inks-cranberry, green apple,
3’d ink pens (glittery one)
Embellishments (Kit)
Papers-powdered sugar and blue jay
Ribbon (kit)
Make the slimline card as you normally would and use a blue jay for the background paper.
Using the New stamps and dies in the kits- stamp and die cute the holly and berries. Use 3’d glitter ink to make it sparkle. After it dries put it together and set aside. Using the snowman2stamp make a snowman-I cut out a wreath from the patterned paper cut it in the back and wrapped it around his neck and glued it in the back. His arms-to make them hold the word I cut off about 1/4” of his arms and glued it outward then glued the rest of his arm onto the bottom piece to make his arm folded inward to hold the sign. Easy peezy. Stamp color and decorate using the 3 poinsettias-set aside to dry. Stamp the words on Powdered Sugar c/s and then add dimensional tape and a backing paper if you want. Add dimensional tape to back of the Powdered sugar words BUT not to the back of the word he is holding…that one gets glued down onto the snowman- and his arms get glued to the flat piece. Add a small piece of ribbon to the front of the card at the bottom and add the 3 poinsettias. Add your snowman, holly w/berries, 2 words and embellishments. Make yourself a bow to put at the bottoms of the snowman and start using ur 3’d ink pens to make it sparkly the way you want it.
Super easy and fun card to make.

Card # 5 A2 side card
I will list the things you can make ahead and let dry then you can just add them to the card.
My background paper is sky and seaglass blended 3/4 of the way down the paper.
1- (1) Elf2stamp color him and add your sparkle to him & put a mini Christmas light in his hands from the kit. You will use 2 snowflakes from the other card for the elf to stand on
2-The Christmas bulbs from you kit using a hole punch add some twine at the base and at the top and knot both ends…keep them all the same length. Then decorate them if you want and let them dry. They will be tied together for the card…so the Length is short maybe 1 1/2”after knotting.
3-You will need 1 large stitched rectangle paper (mine is Powdered Sugar) & for the bottom of ur frame to be added just before you secure your frame to the card. Now to make your frames. I used a large stitched rectangle die and on die that fits inside that die to make a frame. I used the 6th largest die for the outside and paired it with the 4th largest die. Then I made one more stitched rectangle frame. This is the rectangle you will put on the inside bottom of the frame. I got the size by putting the dies up against the first frame. I wanted it to be small. Then for the scalloped rectangle I lined up my dies to see which one left the tinyest scalloped edge. That’s how I made that edge. But you have to measure after you cut your frame. Then using dimensional tape you can put them all together and add them to ur card. *Remember to put the (1)rectangle down before you secure your frames down
After you attach the frames it’s time to decorate ur card. The holly and berries in the corners are from the Patterned paper from the kit. The little Christmas trees 🎄 (I love them) are in the kit AND pull ur heist as bulb strings together and attach them wherever you want the on the frame- I used double sided tape and a glue dot on the tape to adhere the bow. Any extra decorating do now and dots with your 3’d ink pens.
Hope you enjoyed my 5 Card Kit cards I made for you. I truly enjoy sharing these fun cards with you. Be sure to Follow me and get “how I did it” tips when they come out.
