Warm Hugs Heartwarming Triple Cube Card

Whether it’s a warm cup of coffee or hot cocoa, nothing says Happy Holidays like sharing a warm cuppa with someone special. This is a card for someone extra special in your life. The triple cube card if very popular right now. I decided to change it up a little by having it a full 5-1/2″ tall, instead of the 4″ tall ones I’ve seen. I realize the height doesn’t technically make it a “cube,” but I’m calling it a cube anyway. The base itself is really easy to put together. I used 3 patterns of Designer Series Paper from the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper. With all the different paper elements, I didn’t feel the need for any embellishments. What do you think?

It folds flat to fit into a Whisper White Medium Envelope!  When folded flat, the card is 4″ x 51/2″. You can see I have a cup sticking out just a little bit on one side. This is okay because the card is 4″ wide instead of the regular 4-1/4″. But be aware of your placement, so you don’t have any thing sticking out too far.Triple Cube Card made with the Heartwarming Hugs Suite Collection, Press On stamp set, Ornate Frames Dies, and Layering Circles Dies #stampcandy #handmadecards #triplecubecards #stampinup #christmas #christmascards

  • burnished the folds in the 2 Real Red CS strips with a Bone Folder
  • 1/4″ section of the largest piece of Pear Pizzazz CS glued onto the inside of the opposite side, to create a tall, open ended “cube”
  • 1/4″ section of both of the smaller Pear Pizzazz CS pieces glued onto the inside of the opposite side, to create 2 smaller, open ended “cubes”
  • small cubes glued onto two adjacent sides of the tall cube, at the bottom
  • 4 of the DSP-2 layers glued onto the back and bottom inside of the two small cubes
  • remaining 2 DSP-2 layers glued onto the inside of the tall cube, on the 2 back sides, so you can see them when looking down from the front
  • 2 larger DSP-1 layers glued onto the tall cube above the small cubes
  • 4 remaining DSP-1 layers glued onto the top and front of the small cubes
  • Whisper White CS layers glued onto the 2 back sides of the tall cube

  • a long side of one rectangle glued onto the back of each cup, vertically, making sure the bottom/short side is even with the bottom of the cup
  • cup with 1/8″ thick rectangle glued onto the the top of the left small cube, gluing the bottom side to the small cube, and the back side to the tall cube
  • 3/8″ thick rectangle cup glued the same way to the left of the first cup, so it sticks out farther
  • 1/4″ rectangle cup glued onto the front of the second cup, with its bottom glued onto the top of the small cube
  • the other cup with a 1/4″ rectangle glued onto the cube on the right, the same way as the others
  • cup with the 1/2″ rectangle glued onto the top of the small cube on the right, with the back glued to the tall cube, so it sticks out farther than the previous cup
  • NOTE: It’s best to let the glue dry completely, to make sure the cups stay in position when the card is folded flat, especially the bottoms.

I drew white lines on this photo to highlight one of the Read Red CS strips on the back of the NOEL sentiment. One half of the strip is glued onto the cube and the other half is glued onto the back of the sentiment. The other strip is glued on the same way on the other side. This is how to attach the flat piece onto the corner:Triple Cube Card made with the Heartwarming Hugs Suite Collection, Press On stamp set, Ornate Frames Dies, and Layering Circles Dies #stampcandy #handmadecards #triplecubecards #stampinup #christmas #christmascards

Gilded Autumn Suite Thank You Card

Autumn is almost here, and today’s project is a thank you card that’s all about the season. I used the Beautiful Autumn stamp set and Stitched So Sweetly Dies to create this simple fun fold card. I also made a coordinating little lip balm gift box, which I’ll share with you in a few days (you can see a sneak peek of it below.)

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

  • Early Espresso card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″ and at 7-1/2″
  • Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 3″ x 5-1/4″ (speckled)
  • speckled DSP layer cut to 1″ x 5-1/4″
  • herringbone pattern DSP layer cut to 5-1/4″ tall by 4 pattern stripes wide (just over 3/4″)
  • acorn/leaf pattern DSP layer cut to 2-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
  • Very Vanilla CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base

Stamped with the Beautiful Autumn stamp set:

  • sentiment in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Early Espresso CS, then heat embossed in gold
  • acorn in Early Espresso ink onto the bottom left corner of the Very Vanilla CS

Cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies:

  • sentiment

Assembled the card:

  • burnished the folds in the card base with a Bone Folder, folding the 1″ section back onto the card front
  • larger speckled DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base (left side and under the folded over flap)
  • acorn/leaf DSP layer glued onto the speckled DSP layer
  • herringbone DSP layer glued onto the flap of the card base
  • flap glued down onto the DSP layers
  • sentiment glued onto the flap and DSP layers, but not the small part hanging off the right side
  • 1″ speckled DSP strip glued onto the right side of the Very Vanilla CS
  • Very Vanilla CS glued onto the inside of the card base
  • If you prefer, you can skip gluing down the flap, and then only glue the sentiment to the flap, leaving the rest loose. I just felt the card would be easier to photograph if I glued them down.

Next, Pam Morris of Tap Tap Stamp, is joining us on a regular basis, and I know she’ll have a super fun project for us. She is one of my Stampin’ Up! uplines, and she’s an absolute hoot and a half!

September 2020 ICS Blog Hop – Wishes & Wonder

Inspire, Create, & Share (ICS) Blog Hop

Welcome to the September 2020 ICS Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Mini Catalog Fun Folds. I made an accordion fold card that fits into a Mini Pizza Box. I used the Wishes & Wonder Bundle (Wishes & Wonder stamp set and North Pole Wonder Dies,) along with the Stitched Rectangle Dies, Stitched Shapes Dies, Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper, and Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper, to create a long skinny card with Santa’s sleigh and eight tiny reindeer, plus Rudolph who has a Red Rhinestone for his nose.

Poinsettia Place Double Gate-Fold Card

Today I’m sharing a card I designed as one of the Make & Takes for our August Candy Hearts team meeting. I used the Poinsettia Place Suite Collection to create this double gate-fold card. At 3″ wide, it’s skinnier than the usual 4-1/4″, but that leaves room for the sprigs to hang off the edge. It will still fit into the standard medium envelope. The poinsettia was die cut from the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper, and glued onto a piece of card stock that was cut with the same die. That’s to make it sturdier, since half of it hangs off the layer.
