Day 6 of the 12 Days of November....

 When this Gate die came out in the Holiday Catalog did you see a Halloween card?  Not me!  This is what I saw - a snow covered gate as part of a winter scene.  The Ready for Christmas stamp set offered up the perfect pine boughs to add to the scene.   Oh and when I saw the embossing paste, I knew this was going to work!  To make this card, you will have to grab several stamp sets though - a tree from Lovely as a Tree, a Christmas banner from Seasonal Bells, Christmas Pines for the inside sentiment and the pine boughs from Ready for Christmas. 

To make the card, I first took a Whisper White 3 3/4" x 5" piece of paper and sponged it with Pool Party ink.  I then added a small amount of color using Marina Mist.  I then took a spritzer and created a snowy scene when the water smeared the ink a bit.  Once it was dry, I stamped the two trees using Garden Green ink and placed some Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper along the bottom.  I then placed the gate on the card (which had the multipurpose adhesive sheets on the back).  I stamped the pine boughs using Garden Green ink on Old Olive card stock and cut them out using the coordinating die.  I attached them to the gate on either side - trimming off the excess.  I then got one of the spatulas and put a small amount on embossing paste on the tip and gently tapped along the top edges of the horizontal parts of the gate and also the trees.  While the paste was still wet, I sprinkled it with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.  A red ribbon in the center finished it off.

Day 4 of the 12 Days of November....

 When Stampin' Up! offered this stamp set early back in August, I purchased it but didn't do much with it until I needed a card for a recent workshop.  This card was inspired by a talented artist on Splitcoaststampers.  For the glitter trees, I placed the Adhesive Sheets on a piece of Tranquil Tide card stock and then cut out the duo of trees with the adhesive on top as opposed to the back.  I then removed the covering and laid the card stock directly down into my Dazzling Diamonds.  Pressing on the glitter made it stick real well and gives it an all over glitter.

When tearing your Dazzling Diamonds Glitter paper, if you want an edge without glitter, remember to tear toward yourself with the glitter in front.  If you do not like that look, turn the paper around so you are looking at the back and then tear.  Since it is difficult to get started with the tearing process, make a small snip with your scissors and go from there!

On the inside, I did the same thing with the adhesive sheets, except this time I placed it on the Designer Series Paper.  If you look closely, you can see the dots peeking through the glitter.

Cool Double Gate Fold Card...

Have you ever made a Double Gate Fold Card?  I saw a video from Dawn Griffith and I thought it was so cool.  I made one using the Bear Hugs stamp set back in April but never posted it here.  I thought I would update it with current product since the other one had a retired Designer Series Paper.  I have posted pictures of that card and another one below so you can get several ideas on how to make one of these cards but this post and the video use this Christmas card.
 Here's what the card looks like when you lift up the card from the bottom.
Finally, here is what it looks like inside after opening up the double gate folds.  Super cute, isn't it?  And very easy to make too!


Here are a couple of other ideas for this type of card.  Enjoy!
