Let it Snow Money Wallet and Christmas Card

I have a money wallet to share with you today using the Let it Snow Designer Series Paper (DSP). I love this paper as it so vibrant and happy. This is actually the first money wallet I have ever made as I never give money as a present. I will from time to time give a gift card but I still like to buy presents that show you have put thought and time into your gift.

This card doubles as a proper card as well as a money wallet. There is plenty of space inside the card to write your message. I’ve done very little in term of embellishments and stamping as the paper is busy and too many embellishments would look cluttered I feel.

The main colours are Coastal Cabana and Real Red and I have repeated these colours in the card for continuity. This is not a standard card size and you would need to make a bespoke envelope to go with it. I did this as I wanted the card to have plenty of room for the money and your message.

As this card has quite a layers I have used a hidden magnet to hold the front closed. I do love this paper and am sad it is retiring at the end of the year. I am making a mini album with my remaining sheets so I can enjoy it for years to come rather than it just sitting hidden in my stash.

Christmas Bauble – Let it Snow DSP – Stampin’ Up!

Hello again, I can’t believe it’s a week until Christmas. I have this cute little Christmas Bauble to share with you today. I’ve been making these for years. They can be made from Designer Series Paper (DSP) or different coloured cardstock.

Christmas Bauble – Let it Snow DSP – Stampin’ Up!

This Christmas Bauble is very easy to make. I used the 2″ circle punch and punched out 6 circles in two different sheets. This gives me four actual pattersns. Each circle is folded in half. You layer them together in the following order:

  • Sheet 1, Sheet 2, Sheet 2, Sheet 1, Sheet 1, Sheet 2, Sheet 2, Sheet 1, Sheet 1, Sheet 2, Sheet 2, Sheet 1.

In previous years, I’ve made this using six circles of Real Red card and then six circles of Old Olive. These are simple and quick but still, look beautiful.

I love making my own decorations. It makes my decor more unique and personal. I think it is also great to look back on hand made decorations and remember the memories associated with them.

I love the Let it Snow suite of products and have used it many times. The stamp set and snowman punch are carrying over but sadly the DSP is retiring. I am using the last up now making another Christmas Mini Album.

Snowman Christmas Card Tutorial – Stampin’ Up!

I have a bright and fun Snowman Christmas Card to share with you today. I love the bold and colourful colours in the background that just make you smile on the grey days of winter weather.

This snowman looks so happy playing in the snowflakes. I have to say that I love red all year round but especially at Christmas. It makes the whole image just pop from the background.

The stamp set is Snowman Season. It has 3 different snowmen in it, one of which co-ordinates with a punch. I’ve used this one on a previous card which I will link below.

measurements

  • Coastal Cabana A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Bermuda Bay 14.35cm x 10cm
  • Let it Snow Designer Series Paper (DSP) 13.85cm x 9.5cm
  • Real Red – 7.5cm x 7.5cm

I’ve accented the card with rhinestones and the beautiful real red cotton ribbon. This ribbon is lovely and soft and therefore easy to make into a nice bow.

Other Christmas Projects

I feel sad that I haven’t used this DSP enough. I think I will make a mini album with it as well. This will work double fold as it makes something pretty and will use up all my spare DSP.

I have a supply list and video tutorial below.
