Today’s card has a sentiment that is from the animated short film “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” It was one of my favorite holiday shows growing up. For today’s card, I’ve paired this sentiment with reindeer instead of a Grinch. I cut the gold deer using the North Pole Wonder Dies, which is available in a bundle (save 10%) with the Wishes & Wonder stamp set. The deer in the background are on the ‘Tis the Season Designer Series Paper, which is one of the papers on sale this month at 15% off!

I used the Christmas Means More stamp set, Sounds of the Season Dies, and ‘Tis the Season Designer Series Paper to make today’s Christmas card. I love this sentiment, which is a line from the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life.” But it’s a line that comes before that one that always makes me cry. It goes something like this, “A toast to my big brother George, the richest man in town.” I love to it watch every year around the holidays.
What is your favorite holiday movie?

Sep 29, 2020 | Blog Hop, Cards, Gallery, Paper Pumpkin |
Welcome to the September 2020 PPP Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called Hello Pumpkin and it makes really cute treat holders that look like miniature versions of the crackers we have at Christmas, you know, the ones with the paper crown and little toys in them. I used the pieces to make a card and a candle wrap. https://stampcandy.net/paper-pumpkin/september-2020-ppp-blog-hop-hello-pumpkin https://bit.ly/3cyFfXj

Here’s what I made:
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Basic Black card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base
- 2 treat holders from the kit cut in half, to create 4 pieces
- 1 hourglass shape cut from the end of 3 of the treat holder halves
- 1/2″ cut from the straight (non-scalloped) side of the fourth treat holder half (Do not fold this smaller one on any of the score lines. Leave it flat.)
- the scalloped edge of a third treat holder cut away, cutting along the first score line
Stamped with the Hello Pumpkin stamp set:
- sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto the white side of a banner from the kit
- small flowers in Pumpkin Pie ink onto the Whisper White CS for the inside
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- the strip glued onto the bottom of the fourth treat holder half, lining it up with the score line as shown:
- 5 of the lacy die cuts from the kit (doesn’t matter which color because I used the white side) adhered onto the back of the treat holder half (with scallops at the top and bottom) so they show through the diamond shaped holes
- black twine tied around the whole piece and tied in a bow, then the whole piece adhered onto the front of the card base using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
- sentiment, 3 flowers, and a curly piece glued onto the bottom right of the card front
- Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
Assembled the candle wrap:
- all score lines of the 3 remaining treat holder halves burnished with a Bone Folder
- the three pieces glued together, gluing the small tabs at one end onto the inside of the opposite end of the next one, until you have a ring
- As luck would have it, three of these fit perfectly around the Bath & Body Works candle I had. You may need to adjust for your candle.
- slipped the wrap over the candle, with the scalloped edge at the top, and pushed it down to make the cut out areas stick out
- black twine tied around the wrap and tied in a bow

Love you more than cookies! And that’s a lot! Today I’m sharing a card I made with the Nothing’s Better Than Bundle (Nothing’s Better Than stamp set & Love You More Than Dies.) It has a window in the front and the inner sentiment pokes up through it when the card is closed.
