VIDEO: Stampin' Up! Beary Christmas Easy Pop-Up Card Tutorial

The Sept-Dec 2023 Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog is winding down and Mom and I are highlighting our favorite suites and bundles during our Sunday Stamping videos. We recently featured the Beary Christmas Suite and I designed an easy pop-up card to inspire you.

I love the class combination of Old Olive and Night of Navy for the front of this card. I used copper snowflakes and ribbon from the All About Autumn Suite to add a little more color.

The inside includes a decorated panel with an easy pop-up in front of it. The small designer paper cut-out layered on Night of Navy cardstock is attached to a  2" x 4" Very Vanilla Cardstock (scored at 1", 2", and 3") that creates a "box" to prop up the focal image when the card is open. Watch the video below to follow along and set up the mechanics of this card.

Card Measurements:

• 4-1/4" x 11" Very Vanilla Cardstock, scored at 5-1/2"
• 3-3/4" x 5" Old Olive Cardstock
• 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" Beary Christmas Designer Paper
• 1-1/4" x 3-1/2" Beary Christmas Designer Paper
• 2-3/8" Night of Navy Cardstock Circle
• 1-3/4" Very Vanilla Cardstock Circle
• 4" x 5-1/4" Beary Christmas Designer Paper
• 2" x 4" Very Vanilla Cardstock, scored at 1", 2", and 3"
• 2-5/8" x 2-5/8" Night of Navy Cardstock

VIDEO: Stampin' Up! Merry & Bright Side Panel Card Templates & Tutorial

I was inspired to try this fun fold card when I saw Jo William's Christmas card that she shared for the Novemebr Great, Big Card Swap. Jo was so generous to include a printout of the template that she found from Lavonne Schwendeman, so it was easy to create my own version, which I shared last week during my Thursday Night Livestream. Here is my finished card using the Merry & Bright stamp set from the Sept-Dec 2023 Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog.

Card Measurements:

• 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Shaded Spruce Cardstock (See Template Below)
• Score at 6-1/4" all the way down
• Turn cardstock so short end is at the top of the trimmer and line it up at the 1" mark. CUT from 1" down to 5". Do the same thing using the 1" mark on the right side of the trimmer.
• With the long side of the cardstock at the top of the trimmer, SCORE between the cut lines at 1", 2", and 5".
• SCORE above and below the cut lines at 4".

• 3-3/4" x 5-1/4" Merry Bold & Bright Designer Paper, cut 3" x 3-3/4" from the center right side
• 2" x 5-1/4" Merry Bold & Bright Designer Paper, cut 1" x 3-3/4" out from the center left side.
• 2" x 5-1/4" Merry Bold & Bright Designer Paper
• 3/4" x 3-3/4" Merry Bold & Bright Designer Paper

• (2) 2-1/2" x 3" Basic White Cardstock
• 2-3/4" x 3-1/4" Crushed Curry Cardstock
• 2-3/4" x 3-1/4" Poppy Parade Cardstock

Watch the video replay to follow along and cut and score this fun fold card with me. I'll warn you when it comes to the stamping part...well, I was a little indecisive! If you enjoy watching the "process", grab some popcorn. If that frustrates you, then just fast forward through to the next project! Ironically, I ended up no far off from my first iteration with just a few changes that balanced everything out: a additional piece of cardstock on the inside panel and moving the "glow" of the light from the bottom to the side. (See photos above.)

VIDEO: Stampin' Up! O Holy Night Suite: Stars at Night Christmas Ornaments

We put up our Christmas tree over the weekend! It's a 20 year old artificial tree that loses as many needles as a real tree each year, but still looks so good! The pre-lit lights haven't worked in over a decade, but we string up new lights before we let the kids add ornaments -- a collection of gifted and homemade ornaments from the last twenty years. It's electic and full of memories, which makes it one of my favorite Christmas traditions!

This year, I added some new handmade ornaments that I created using the O Holy Night Suite from the Sept-Dec 2023 Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog. I was inspired by the catalog images to create them and used 3" macrame hoops, ribbon, and 2-3/8" circle punch and paper. The Stars at Night Bundle with the Hybrid Embossing Folder make for some quick and easy embellishments -- and the embossing folder and dies are on sale for 30% off!

Watch the replay of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie for tips on creating these ornaments:
