This Week’s Template Thursday is all about 1 Easy Christmas Card Template 2 Ways using the adorable Christmas Crew Bundle from Stampin’ Up! I love how 1 Easy Christmas Card Template 2 Ways can give you two completely different looks while still starting with the exact same layout.
For today’s cards, I had so much fun playing with the Christmas Crew Bundle. These little Christmas characters are just too cute, and they each bring a completely different personality to the same card template.

I had so much with this bundle I had to do all 3 Characters. First up was the cute bear that we turned into Santa.
Next up, of course the adorable reindeer we had to turn into Rudolph
Based on the poll i put up on my Facebook Business Page, it has been a tie between the Snowman and Rudolph. I would love to know your favorite. If you CLICK HEREit will take you to that post!!!! Be sure to vote for your favorite.

Today we are creating a Pocket Gate Fold Gift Card Holder, and you know I love a fun fold that has a little something extra! This Pocket Gate Fold Gift Card Holder was a fun and unique way to close your standard Gate Fold Card without using a belly band.
For today’s project, I am using the Painted Pumpkins Bundle, which has quickly become such a fun one to create with for fall. I love the look of these pumpkins, and I thought they were perfect for this style of card.

For today’s project I am creating what I am calling a Slider Pocket Fun Fold! This Slider Pocket Fun Fold for a simple interactive card. This Slider Pocket Fun Fold is featuring product from the Painted Patch Suite Collection that can be found in the September – December Catalog.
This has turned out to be another favorite of mine. What I love about this is that incorporates non-traditional Fall Colors. It brings in blues and pinks which I love. Typically I say the star of the show is the Designer Paper, but this time it is the Painted Pumpkins Bundle. This bundle includes coordinating dies that cut out the stamped or masked pumpkins. It also includes standalone pumpkin dies that are perfect for paper piecing.
One thing I really love is that the pumpkins come in a cluster of three for both stamping and die cutting. It makes creating your project so much easier than working with individual pumpkins. But my favorite part of this bundle has to be the buildable masks! I absolutely love a great mask and a little ink blending. As you can see on my project, the masks make it so easy to create beautifully shaded pumpkins with lots of dimension.
