Elegant Pine Snowflakes Half Sheet Wonder Card Workshop

I am trying to get ahead with my holiday cardmaking and designed this new set of cards using the Elegant Pine Snowflakes 12"x12" Double-sided Patterned Paper from Stampin' Up. I am calling this a Half Sheet Wonder since it uses a 6" x 12" piece of the DSP instead of a full 12"x12" piece. I used 2 6" x 12" pieces to make 14 cards but you can easily make just 7 cards using 1 piece.

The samples shown here use 2 pieces of the patterned paper along with the coordinating cardstock, stamp and die cut set. As always I am sharing the cutting diagram for the patterned paper here with you. The cardstock cutting diagrams and card sketches are available with purchase of the workshop digital files.

This is the cutting diagram for the half sheets of patterned paper.

These are the 14 cards you will be able to create with this workshop.

If you are interested in creating this workshop for yourself or with your customers, there are 4 ways to get the files:

1. Place a $35 or more Stampin' Up purchase from me (before taxes and shipping).

2. Purchase the workshop digital files directly (no qualifying website purchase needed). The files are $11.50 USD. Follow the "Buy It Now" link at the bottom of this post.

3. Join my Stampin' Up team, all team members have access to my workshop files FREE.

Other demonstrators are also welcome to order these files in support of their own business. You can use these files to host your own events as long as you follow the terms and conditions listed in the Demonstrator Release included in the  workshop files.

I hope you enjoy creating these cards just as much as I did!

Glow of the City Layout

The first excursion we did with Viking during the Prague pre-extension of our trip was "Prague by Night".  This took us from our hotel up to Strahov Abbey then to Old Town where we walked all around before returning to the hotel. The city is so beautiful but even more magical at night!

The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch from Scrapbook Generation I found on Pinterest.

I modified the sketch just a little to use only 3"x4" photos on the left page and added a photo mat around this block of photos. The title was cut with my Cricut using the font I have picked for this album. I added the faux-stitching over the banners on the right page using a pen and ruler. The embellishments came from my stash.

Prague Layout

The first city we were in with our 2025v Danube Trip was Prague. We flew from Boston to Paris and then to Prague. We stayed there for 3 days before beginning out Viking Cruise. Loved the little boutique-style hotel we stayed in near Old Town. Such a wonderful city and I definitely want to return to explore more of this city and area.

The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch I found on Pinterest.

I added a layer to the background for some additional visual interest but kept the basic sketch the same. The title was cut on my Cricut - I chose a font that I plan on using for the title on the remaining layouts from this trip. The embellishments are from my stash - I colored wood stars and a geo-tag using ink and a sponge dauber to get the color I wanted for the layout.

Danube Waltz Memories Layout

The next layout from our Danube trip is this one. I usually do an itinerary layout for my trip albums but decided to change it up this time and just do a 2-page spread with some highlight pictures. 

The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch from Scrapbook Generation I found on Pinterest.

I changed the landscape 6" x 4" photos to a block of portrait 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" photos and added a mat for this block. The title, camera, globe and arrow accents were cut on my Cricut. I added some faux-stitching using a black fine point pen and ruler.

Daube Waltz Vacation Title Page Layout

I know it has been awhile since I have shared a layout here with you and I also know people have been waiting to see the layouts from our Danube Waltz vacation. Well, I am organized and found a paper collection I wanted to use for the layouts in this album so here we go. This is the layout for the title page of my album. I found a great collection from 49th & Market for this album that will work perfect for all of the places we visited.

The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch from Scrapbook and Cards today I found on Pinterest.

The title was cut on my Cricut and I created the "file folder" tab using my tab punch board. The embellishments all came from my stash and the journal block was done using my Cricut. I added some faux-stitching using a ruler and fine tip pen.

Gathering Together OSW Card Workshop

I am happy to say I have been on a roll with cardmaking for this season. I finished the Halloween cards which I shared previously and went right into my Thanksgiving cards.

The cardstock cutting diagrams and card sketches are available with purchase of the workshop digital files.

Happy Fall Folio Mini Album and Process Videos

I have been on a roll recently with inspiration for creating mini albums. This Happy Fall mini album is a folio style album. There are no album pages - all of the elements are on the left and right side of the folio when opened. This album is 6 5/8" x 9 1/4" and holds up to 23 photos. A great mini album for photos of this season!

You can see the pages of the mini album in the following pictures. I have also included a walkthru video along with my process video at the end of this post.

I used the Gathering Together Suite from Stampin' Up along with medium weight chipboard and medium and heavy weight kraft cardstock to create this mini album project. You can find a PDF with the supplies list and cutlist by following this link - Supplies and Cutlist.

You can see my Walkthru of the Mini Album in this video from my YouTube Channel.

I did process videos for the creation of the album base, flaps, pockets, and other elements of this project. I did not do a video for decorating the album but did include the decorative elements in the Supplies and Cutlist file. You can watch each of this video on my Youtube Channel.

I hope you like this paper crafting project. Thanks for stopping by!
