I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.
Week 5
Today I feature the Shining Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). I’m a bit of a sucker for shiny and glittery things and although I didn’t buy these papers last year, they sure did make it into my stash this year. (Update: this paper has now sold out, but you can substitute with any of your favourite double sided paper designs)!
I’ve used lots of folding for my project today with this fun Double Pocket DSP Card. Starting with a piece of double sided patterned paper cut to A4 size (29.7cm x 21cm), then let the folding begin. A written tutorial can be found below. Customise your envelope to match by adding the same patterned paper to the flap.
The tags are cut using dies from the Peaceful Season Bundle (available from 6 September 2024). This top tag has some Red & White Baker’s Twine threaded through one corner with a sentiment stamped in Garden Green or you could replace it with a gift card!
The second tag is the same die, but I have cut it two-thirds of the way, removed it from my machine, shuffled the die along and cut from the other end to create this longer tag. This one is where I will write my message to the recipient.
The ‘merry’ is stamped is Versamark and White WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. The ‘christmas’ is die cut from the red Festive Glimmer. These are added onto the card with Dimensionals.
Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Monday for more Christmas inspiration!
Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Rosa Leyden.

This is a great fun fold card! Thanks for sharing the instructions, I am definitely going to give this a try. Great tip for elongating the tag as well.

Loads of festive shimmer and shine, and a fabulous fancy fold – what’s not to love?! Cute idea to use tags in the pockets, and I love how you lengthened the die-cut for the second tag, Kate. Those dies are beautiful, and I love how you’ve used them.
