For this week’s Online Paper Crafting Class I’ll be once again “dividing to multiply.” I’ll use just one pack of the Gold Dipped Cards & Envelopes (a pack of 9) to make 36 cards! So I guess you could say I’m quadrupling the amount of cards. If you are looking to make lots of pretty Christmas cards quickly, check out what I have to share today.
The Gold Dipped Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes are stunning as you will see. These along with the Joyful Ephemera packs debuted when the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog was released on September 4. So I purchased them and came up with a way to cut the cards & envelopes into “designer paper layers.” Then I added these to Basic White Cardstock bases and decorated by adding the ephemera pieces and some embellishments.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for how to make these quick (yet stunning!) Christmas cards with these Gold Dipped Cards/Envelopes and a 1/2 pack each of the Joyful Sayings and Joyful Images Ephemera. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
FYI…the last 10 minutes were cut off due to some unknown technology glitch. (Grrr…right?) But basically I was just showing off the remainder of the cards in the same order as you will see in the photos below. And there is no time to fix it because I’m heading out of town. Sorry everyone.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Click here to access and download a printable “measurements & supplies” sheet.
Measurements to make all 36…
Basic White Cardstock
(36) 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4”
Gold Dipped Cards
From each card cut a ¾” x 8-1/2” strip to get nine strips
Then from each card cut in half to get two 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” pieces (18 altogether – 6 of each color)
Gold Dipped Envelopes
Cut 1/16” off the sides of each envelope to open them all up. Then cut the white half from the rest and trim each of these down to 5-1/2” wide (9 altogether)
Then cut the main full section to 4-1/4” deep x almost 6-1/2” wide. Trim this into two pieces to get one that is 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” and one that is 7/8” x 4-1/4” (9 of each altogether – 3 of each color)
Finally trim the flaps down to 1-7/8” x 5-1/2 (9 altogether – 3 of each color)
Here are images to help remind you how to cut the cards and envelopes to get all the layers.
And now I present photos of the 36 cards I just shared in my video!
Crazy amazing!! I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!
Winners: No prize winners today because that portion of the video cut out on me. Sorry. We will draw additional prizes next week.

Are you ready for a mass load of cards? I took the different sentiments from the Saying Something Ephemera Kit and the different images from the Something for Everything Ephemera Kit (one set of each of the images),…
…a full pack each of the Sunny Springs and the Calming Creek Mix & Match Cards/Envelopes, some cardstock for the extra card bases and layers, and some Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems and… I created 40 cards total!
I only needed a half pack of each of the ephemera kits because you get two of everything in each. All the Mix & Match cards I kept as is. So I had 10 card bases set to go. Then I added 30 more card bases from Basic White, Basic Black & Basic Gray cardstock. All the Mix & Match envelopes I cut down to become patterned paper layers. Here are the measurements.
Measurements…
Basic White Cardstock
(10) 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4″
(14) 4″ x 5-1/4″ (inside layers on eight gray and six black cards – the ones with the 1-5/8″ x 5-1/4″ & 3-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ envelope layers)
(6) 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ (inside layers on two gray and four black cards – the ones with the 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ envelope layers)
Basic Gray Cardstock
(10) 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4″
Basic Black Cardstock
(10) 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4″
Mix & Match envelopes
4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ from each front (10)
1-5/8″ x 5-1/4″ from what is left over of the flap after cutting the front (10)
3-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ from each back (10)
Because I cut up the Mix & Match envelopes to use as paper, I’ve included a full pack of 40 Basic White Medium Envelopes below in my Products list. You’re gonna need those. (See below for a complete list of products I used to make these cards. All products are linked to where you can find them in my online store.)
Here are the cards I made with the full Mix & Match card bases.
Here are the cards I made with the 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ Mix & Match envelope layers.
Here are the cards I made with the 3-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ Mix & Match envelope layers.
And here are the cards I made with the 1-5/8″ x 5-1/4″ Mix & Match envelope layers.
In the rest of the photos you can see the full cards outside and in.
I’ve sorted them by the Mix & Match card and envelope pairs. If you see a little shadow under an ephemera piece, I’ve attached it to the card with Dimensionals or Mini Dimensionals.
You can also see where I’ve added the Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems. Not every card has them, but you would certainly have enough from one pack to embellish a couple more cards.
Some ephemera such as the “hey” and “friend” pieces needed to be adhered with glue. So I squeezed out a bit of Multipurpose Liquid Glue onto a Silicone Sheet and used a sponge to pounce the glue lightly on the back sides to make the words sticky everywhere.
One of my favorites is this bird and feather card. Most of the images and sentiments were pretty easy to match up.
I’m pretty happy with almost every card. But I have to admit, it was a challenge to put the images and words together when it came down to just having a few pieces left to work with. The Thanks and Yee Haw cards shown below are ones that I may have done differently. Hahaha!
But it was a fun challenge over all! My goal was to use up all the ephemera pieces that I could and not have any left overs.
I think I did. But I can’t remember! Hahaha. If you decide to recreate these cards, message me to let me know which pieces (if any) I didn’t end up using.
Isn’t it crazy all the variety that you get with these ephemera packs?
Which cards are your favorites?
For all you demonstrators, this could be a great class idea, too! And guess what? You’ll all want to get your hands on these products so you can use them for the free World Card Making Day virtual event that Stampin’ Up! is hosting on Saturday, October 5th.
During this event, you’re invited to craft along and make five simple cards. If you’d like to participate, you may want to have the following supplies on hand so you can recreate the cards being demonstrated.
There are new ephemera packs and a new set of cards/envelopes that will debut in the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog on September 4th. I hope to create with them and share soon!
Thanks for stopping by to see what I had to share today.
Just a couple reminders about promotions that end today…

I have lots of things to share today! I’m going to show you lots of creative ideas, demonstrate a make-n-take project that I created for a recent August team event (using the Changing Leaves stamps, dies, embossing folder, AND other coordinating Stampin’ Up!® products), show off “card candy” that my Stampers With ART team members created and swapped out at this event, show you more cards that were created at this event with Kits Collection kits by those who attended in person, and introduce you to new products that are debuting September 4th in the new mini catalog. Phew! Are you ready?
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about 2 hours ago how to create my make-n-take project, all of the card candy, and my new products. I also slipped in a few other tips, card ideas and products. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below for the make-n-take card candy I designed, and then let me know if you have any questions.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

And here are the card candy pieces that were created and swapped at this August 2024 Stampers With ART event. Take a look at all the creativity! And be sure to watch the video so you can see how easy these can be turned into cards. Those that made each card are mentioned in the watermarks of the photos. (By the way, I do NOT have a supply list or measurements for each of these. That would take me way too much time. I am sharing them to inspire your creativity and to show all the talent.) A big thank you to all of the crafters/creators!
Besides swapping card candy, we enjoyed food and conversation, and we got creative with a few kits from the Kits Collection. Lori, Marciene, Kristie and Shannon (our special guest and Demonstrator Development Manager from Stampin’ Up!’s home office) created with the Expressions of Kindness Kit.

For our June 2024 team swap, those in Stampers With ART Community that participated created and shared cards that featured new items from the 2024-25 Annual Catalog. (Click here to find a link to the current publication.) Most cards feature new dies, paper, or stamps. But some cards you’ll have to look very closely at to see what was added that was new. Maybe it was a new color, embellishment, or embossing folder.
Take a look at all the creativity! Those that made each card are mentioned in the watermarks of the photos. By the way, this is a “sharing post” only. These ideas are to inspire creativity not to instruct. Please don’t ask for further details. I don’t have a supply list or measurements for each of these cards.

As this blog post is releasing, I’m at the airport with my oldest son Nicholas getting ready to board our plane to Mexico. But prerecorded an instructional video for how to double the cards you can get from the By Your Side Kits Collection Card Kit. And I’m sharing that with you today.
By Your Side was released into in the Kits Collection in early April. If you are a pet lover, you will ADORE this one! There are extra doggie and kitty die-cut images – 8 of each. So if you complete kit cards as intended you can make 8 cards AND still have 8 more animal images left over. It’s the perfect kit for creating and going beyond. And so I did that with just the addition of just some Basic Black Cardstock, an additional ink color, and envelopes. Instead of making just 8 cards, I made 16.
I thought it would be more fun to explain how to put these cards together in video format. So today I have for you another bonus Online Paper Crafting Class.
Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a complete list of products (linked to where you can find them in my online store) that I used in my demonstration. Visit Stampin’ Up!’s Kit Collection by clicking here.
Click here to access and download a printable “measurements & supplies” sheet.
Measurements of extra cardstock…
Basic Black Cardstock
(16) 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4”
Measurements of kit supplies…
Base layer from kit card bases
(16) 4” x 8-1/2” scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4”
Inside layer from kit envelopes
(16) ~2-3/4” x ~4-3/8”
Here are photos of my finished cards. Remember in the video I share how to change the supplies from the two different “kit cards” into four. Doing this with the other three sets of “kit cards,” you will end up with 16. You won’t see all 16 below…just the four variations.
Oh my goodness! This animals are so adorable. I had fun creating and sharing these cards. I hope you enjoyed what I shared! If you love cute dog and cat imagery or know of others who are loving pet owners, you’ll want to grab up this kit. Remember online-only products like the kits from the Kits Collection and the Online Exclusives are available while supplies last.

I hope you can tune in! I think you’ll love the fun fold card I have to share.
So yes, Nick and I are at the airport heading to Mexico to get pampered on the incentive trip* I earned through Stampin’ Up! We will be at the Xcaret all-inclusive resort April 27-May 4 in the Playa Del Carmen area. I’m taking him as my guest this time because he’s a high school senior this year! My goodness time flies. We are really looking forward to being pampered and spoiled, trying fun foods, relaxing by the pool and ocean, zip-lining in the rainforest, swimming through caves, and more! I promise to take photos and share about our adventures when I get back.
Thank you for all you do to support me in my business. I appreciate you ALL and feel very blessed. ❤️
* Earning the incentive trip is something very few Stampin’ Up! demonstrators achieve—less than 1%, in fact! I’m so excited to be among the few that earned this getaway.
