Deck The Halls - Mini Card

Hello my stamping friends.

So there are times I just stamp to be creative and not necessarily worry about only using the current product. I still like to share these projects with all of you though, because it inspires you to create something different, or with items you already own in your stampin’ stash.

So I was mailing packets out to some stampin’ friends with an invite to join my Fun Fold class, and was required to put a 2 oz stamp on them. But they only weighed 1.5 oz. So I thought, well I can’t put a full size card in them, but I wanted to add a little message for the holidays. So I decided to try and craft an ½ oz card. And this is where it led me.

So, I started with a quarter sheet of cardstock.

Dry embossed it with the Whimsical Trees embossing folder.

I wanted a fun embossed shell to the card, so this creates a mini card with embossing on the front and back!

After embossing I just scored it and folded it in half with my bone folder.

Then I decided I wanted a small sentiment for the front, and I have had these cute felt ornament embellishments for years. I simply stamped the sentiment on a piece of scrap and then used a paper punch to punch it out. Add it with a single dimensional and then looped the ornament string over the oval punch to add it. Too Simple and Too Cute!

For the inside, since I embossed the entire ¼ sheet of cardstock, I used an inside liner scaled down to 4” x 2 ½” and stamped an inside greeting!

Now both of these stamp sets have been retired for a long time. The embossing folder is from the 2022 Fall Mini Catalog, and is only available while supplies last. But you can check out all the current stamp sets and embossing folders, along with other supplies in the online store.
