I love the Wonder of the Season Suite of products, but the Memories & More card pack  and the Wonder of the Season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes found in the August-December 2020 Mini catalog (page 31) are the prime target to help me create Christmas cards in record time.  The card pack comes with 48 pre-designed and printed cards in two sizes:  3" x 4" and 4" x 6".  Plus, there are some specialty cards, several sheets of stickers, and coordinating designer envelopes, too!  This particular pack includes multiples of the same pre-printed designs, which makes it nice for you to create small batches of the same card design.

Who doesn't love a good shaker card?  No one!  I trimmed the 4" x 6" Memories & More card by a 1/4" on each end to help spotlight the focal image with the Stitched Rectangles frame die cut from Shaded Spruce cardstock.  Because the 'greens' were pretty dominant, it needed some Real Red balance, so I added a strip of one of the foil cards to each end.

The Foam Adhesive Strips are the perfect width for the Shaded Spruce frame to build the shaker portion with a Window Sheet.  I was inspired to use the Sequins For Everything pack because of the groups of colored sequins are Green and Red.  A couple good pinches of each color were set in the middle of the focal image before adhering the shaker frame in place.  The "Joy" banner is one of the stickers that is part of the card pack...no additional adhesive needed to stick directly to the window sheet.

CONGRATULATIONS to our last month's Blog Hop Winner!

 

In the back of my head, I remembered a card I designed for a past stamp class using an evergreen-type image.  So, I used that as my inspiration for today's card share.  I love to create non-traditional sized cards, and it's been a while since I've shown off a square card.  This one is 4-1/4" square and will fit perfectly into Stampin' Up!'s A2 sized envelopes.  The colors of Sahara Sand, Cherry Cobbler, and Shaded Spruce originate from the Classic Christmas Designer Series paper pack (also part of the Curvy Celebrations Suite).

 

 

I used my trusty Stamparatus to help create the perfectly aligned Shaded Spruce wreath.  Once you get the rotation pattern set, this will be a cinch to mass produce.  The Cherry Cobbler sprig die cuts were made with a die from the Curvy Dies.  This layout was calling for a dainty, yet rustic accessory, so I took some Linen Thread and unwound the fibers before tucking behind the Champagne Foil Layering Scallop Circle die cut.

 

 

The sentiment was inked with Cherry Cobbler, stamped onto a strip of Whisper White and hand cut to form the wavy feature of the sentiment.  There needed to be some berries or 'ornaments' adorning the wreath, so I colored our Basic Pearls using the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends and then scattered them throughout.  Simply lovely!
