Below are cards that I made using the Lights Aglow designer paper pack from Stampin' Up!  (available through December 2022)  These are made the same way as the cards in the video - but using the different paper, greetings and labels gives a different look.  This paper has shiny gold accents - and the cards are much more BEAUTIFUL in real life!




If you aren't ready to make Christmas cards yet - you can still make this kind of card for any occassion.  The cards below are made using He's the Man designer paper - which includes the die cut labels I used on the front of these cards..


The cards below were made using the designer paper called, Design a Daydream.  This is a hostess exclusive pack of paper - which can only be purchased using Stampin' Rewards.  You can earn rewards by placing a $150 order - or hosting a stamping event with $150 in total sales.  CONTACT ME for more information.


Measurements for making these Fun Fold Cards:

Card Stock Base: 4-1/4" x 11"; scored at 5-1/2"  Then cut off 2-3/4 inches to use as a mat for the "flap"
Designer Series Paper: 2-1/2" x 4"  You will need two pieces (different patterns) to make one card
