Not really… š But what a fun card to give to someone when the occasion DOES call for cocktails (or at least a bit of celebrating).
The Nothingās Better Than Stamp Set and the coordinating Love You More Than Dies are so much fun! And if you are not into cocktails, you could trade that word and image out for either cookies, coffee, or chocolate.
Here are the details if you want to recreate this card yourself.
Products I usedā¦Ā See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them inĀ my online store.
Measurementsā¦
Basic Black Cardstock
4-1/4ā³ x 5-1/2ā³
2ā x 8-1/2ā scored parallel to the short end at just a bit over 5-1/4ā
2-1/4″ x 2-3/4″
Balmy Blue Cardstock
4ā x 5-1/4ā
2-1/4″ x 2-3/4″
In Good Taste Designer Paper
3-7/8ā x 5-1/8ā
Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper
2ā x 5-1/4ā
Scrap for die-cutting word
Directionsā¦
Add a small bit of Adhesive Sheet behind the scrap of glimmer paper, then die-cut word. Adhere to the small Basic Black piece as shown – with a bit of a curve. Stamp top sentiment image with VersaMark Ink. Carefully add Silver Emboss Powder, tap off excess, and heat with Heat Tool. Repeat with the lower sentiment image. Add the Rhinestone and set aside.
Stamp the other images on the Balmy Blue piece with Tuxedo Black and VersaMark Inks. Add the Rhinestone and set aside.
Connect the smaller portion of the folded Basic Black “flap fold” piece to the back of the Balmy Blue piece so the flap is coming over the top. Adhere to the Basic Black layer. Then adhere the designer paper piece on top of the Balmy Blue.
Next add the stamped Balmy Blue piece to the inside of the card (on the designer paper) as shown.
Fold the flap shut. Add the glimmer paper, then add the stamped Basic Black piece using Multipurpose Liquid Glue so it is covering the Balmy Blue piece underneath.
I think I need to make a few other versions of this card now. It was so fun to make!

Die-cut a Whisper White and a Soft Sea Foam branch/foliage piece. Cut the Soft Sea Foam one into two pieces.
Cut a couple Forever Gold pieces.
Cut the one with a hexagon in half. Attach the Soft Sea Foam leaves and a couple flipped over laser-cut leaves to the back of each half. And adhere to the card base as shown in the photos below.
Cut the one with the rectangle so that the Soft Sea Foam small rectangle will layer onto it and so it looks like the one on the front of this card. Attach the flipped over portion that was cut off onto the underside.
Stamp the front of the card and the Cherry Cobbler circle with leaf images from the stamp set. Stamp some white dots on the front of the card.
Cut the circle in half and add these pieces to the hexagon halves.
Attach the Soft Sea Foam layers onto the inside of the card.
Add the Whisper White die-cut leaves to the envelope flap using Glue Dots. Then color the ribbon with the Cherry Cobbler Dark Blends marker, allow time to dry, attach to the envelope flap, and trim the ends.
Add a couple Gilded Gems.
Lastly, add the rectangular foliage piece to the front of the card, add the small Soft Sea Foam rectangle sentiment piece with Dimensionals, and add a few Gilded Gems.

#APaperPumpkinThing
Welcome to our monthly āA Paper Pumpkin Thingā blog hop! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop to see additional creative alternate paper crafting project ideas that we each came up with using the contents of the October 2020 Joy To the WorldĀ Paper PumpkinĀ kit. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, clickĀ HEREĀ to see the hop.)
Here is a photo ofĀ theĀ intended projects from this monthās kit: eight full-size cards (four of two kinds measuring 5-7/8 x 4-1/8 or 14.9 cm x 10.47 cm) and coordinating envelopes.
Iāve already shared some other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on October 20th.
Quintuple the kit to make 40 holiday cards
And an adaption of last monthās hand sanitizer holders.
Today I am sharing two cards with you. The first is very easy to recreate and does not require much extra product outside the kit. I only added a circle punch, an X-acto knife and a surface to cut on like a self-healing mat or cardboard.
Products I usedā¦Ā See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them inĀ my online store.
Directionsā¦
Punch a 2-1/4″ circle in the front layer of the card base.
Tie on some twine. (I wrapped the twine around twice before tying in a bow.)
Adhere one of the die-cut words from the kit.
Use the X-acto knife to cut around the petals on the inside of the center flower from the floral piece in the kit. Do the cutting on a safe surface such as a self-healing mat or cardboard. Notice I didn’t connect my cuts. Then use a bone folder to lift and curl them a bit.
Add the floral piece to the inside of the card so the cut flower is centered in the window of the card.
Stamp the inside sentiment.
The second card is a bit more challenging. But yesterday I shared tips and tricks for making this type of fun fold card during my YouTube Live Online Paper Crafting Class. Click here to see yesterday’s post and video. Or just click here to see the video.
Products I usedā¦Ā See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them inĀ my online store.
Measurementsā¦
Early Espresso Cardstock
5-1/2ā x 8-1/2ā trimmed parallel to the long edge 1ā in on each side (starting at 1ā and ending at 5-1/4ā) and scored parallel to the short side (as shown in the video) at 1ā, 2ā 4-1/4ā, 5-1/4ā and 6-3/8ā
1ā x 3ā scored parallel to short side Ā½ā in on each end
1-1/2ā x 5ā for the bookmark
Card base from the kit (foiled pattern) – see image below for where I made my cuts
3ā x 3-1/4ā
1-7/8″ x 3-1/2″ for above the “pocket”
Ā Envelope from the kit (printed pattern) – see image below for where I made my cuts
4ā x 5-1/4ā (cut Ā¾ā in on three sides to form a āCā shape)
1-7/8ā x 3-3/4ā folded in half for pocket (I cut this from the portion inside the “C” shape)
1-1/4ā x 4-3/4ā for the bookmark layer
Card base from the kit (white side)
3 x 3-1/4ā³ for the back side of the card
Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon
7ā for the bow
10ā for the bookmark
Brass banner from the kit
1″ cut from one end for under the bow
1-7/8″ length for the pocket band
the rest for the bookmark
Tipsā¦
I recommend watching the video I shared yesterday so you can understand how it comes together.
Then cut all the pieces and remember what they are for. (I mention lots of details above in the measurements section.)
Add the stamped sentiment after folding the card into a closed position so it is 1/8″ from the right edge as shown below.
Fold the pocket and secure the Early Espresso cardstock strip using Tear & Tape Adhesive. The 1-7/8″ x 3-1/2″ brass foiled card base piece is for above the pocket after the pocket is attached.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!

MY ONLINE PAPER CRAFTERS CLUB IS LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS We are looking for more to join our onlineĀ Paper Crafters club. The commitment is to order at least $25 worth of Stampinā Up! product in each of 6 consecutive months. In one of those months, you would reap the hosting rewards (free merchandise based on the club orders). And then youād also be able to get in on monthly product perks that would be sent to you along with your monthly club cards.
I was on Facebook browsing the other day and a post came up in my newsfeed – a fun fold card shared by fellow Stampinā Up! demonstrator, Teresa Brown. She shared her card in an exclusive demonstrator-only Facebook group. But I didn’t see any directions from her in the comments or post itself. So I studied the card and figured it out. And I’m calling it a bookshelf card because it holds a bookmark AND because it looks like it has a build-in bookshelf. Hahaha!
I just showed liveĀ on YouTube about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this unique card. I also showed three other versions of the card all using the Poinsettia Place Designer Paper, the Best Year Stamp Set, and some beautiful coordinating products. And now Iām sharing that video hereĀ in my blog post. Be sure to watchĀ the video by clicking hereĀ (or you can just click on this image below if you are alreadyĀ 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 product list for what I demonstrated. (PleaseĀ subscribe to my YouTube channelĀ so you can get updates when I share and go live).
