Oct 14, 2016 | 2016 Holiday Catalog, Cards, Christmas, Halloween |
Have you seen the Cookie Cutter Halloween and Christmas sets in the Holiday Catalog? They are so much fun! I’ve been using them a bunch for all different cards. I created one layout and used it for a bunch of different cards just switching out the designer paper and the cookie cutter image. I matched up various greetings and used a variety of coordinating twines to finish each card.
Each card has a strip of card stock on the right side of the front white panel. Then I punched different sized circles from the designer paper. For the Halloween/Fall cards I used the Halloween Night Specialty Designer Series Paper and Halloween Night Baker’s Twine. For the Christmas cards I used the Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper (it’s part of this months Designer Paper sale!) and the Candy Cane Lane Baker’s Twine.
Here is a closer look at the skeleton card.
It’s a fun easy layout and can be adapted to use all the different cookie cutter images (or other punched images). Try it out and let me know what you create.
Thanks for visiting.

Today is the last day of the Holiday Catalog and the last day you can order the To You & Yours Shaker Cards Project Kit. It always surprises me how much better the kits are in person compared to how they look in the catalog. This one looked like it would be fun and I ordered it and then let it sit a while. When I finally got it out to make some of the cards I was surprised by how much was included and how fun they were. They really turned out to be cute cards. Now I had to alter mine slightly. Why? Well I ordered the Kit which includes all the consumable products but I didn’t order the coordinating stamp set. So I got creative with what I already had at home in order to complete the three card designs in the kit.
Here are what mine look like. Can you see the differences compared to the photos on page 4 of the catalog?
Here is what I used from the Holiday catalog:
- To You & Yours Shaker Cards Project Kit pg. 4
- Peaceful Pines pg. 17
- Holly Jolly Greetings pg. 34
- Acorn Builder Punch pg. 45
- Six Sayings pg. 51 – Hostess stamp set
I basically used stamp sets that I already had instead of buying another one and then finished with some punched pieces to fill in where I was missing something. Here are a few more details:
On the Tree card:
- I used the Peaceful Pines stamp set for the tree and the Six Sayings stamp set for the greeting.
- The star at the top is the star punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. I used the left over edges of the gold foil from the Star card.
- The base of the tree is the Cupcake Builder Punch – I used a scrap of Early Espresso card stock and then cut the punched piece down a little bit so it was shorter.
- You can also decorate your envelope with the left over green tree piece from the frame.
On the Star card:
- I used the little stars from Holly Jolly Greetings for the background and corners. But there are other sets that have something similar you could use.
- Save the gold foil scraps from around the star and use to punch the pieces for the other cards.
- Use the left over gold star piece to decorate your envelope.
On the Ornament card:
- I used the little stars from Holly Jolly Greetings for the background.
- For the ornament string I used my Project Life Journaling Pen.
- For the ornament top I punched from the left over Gold Foil the acorn top from the Acorn Builder Punch.
You could order this kit now and work on your cards for next year early!

Here it is as a Christmas card (I actually made the New Year’s version first but want to use the same card for a different group and switched to Christmas for them).

Dec 31, 2015 | Big Shot, Christmas, Designer Series Paper, Holiday catalog 2015 |
Here is a quick card using some Holiday catalog products:
There is really only one Holiday catalog product on this card and it’s the Home for Christmas Designer Paper. So many prints in the pack where the images made great focal points. The poinsettias, the reindeer, the trees, the Santa’s. You could use any of those as the focal point on this design – either by just cutting with the circle dies (or punch) or fussy cutting the image and adding to the circle.
Sadly I just checked and this paper pack has already sold out! Darn it. You could use the Reason for the Season stamp set and create a similar card to this.
Here is the full supply list for this card – click on an item to go to my online store. Don’t miss the Year End sale.
