I had so much fun creating this Painted Christmas Swing Card for you today using the Painted Christmas Suite from the Stampin’ Up! Jul-Dec 2021 Mini Catalog,  (All Products available in my online store Tuesday, August 3, 2021)

The Swing Card Design allows so many fun creative ways to have fun images “swing” through the window.  The pinecones used today are from the Christmas to Remember Bundle from the Painted Christmas Suite. 

PROJECT MEASUREMENTS:

Base: Soft Succulent: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ Scored at 4 1/4″ or folded in half

Insert : Basic White 5″x8″ Scored at 2″, 4″, 6″ Fold Accordion Style SEE PHOTO BELOW

Designer Paper Strip Pieces: Outside Strip 1 1/2″ x 5 1/2″  Inside Strip 1 3/4″ x 4 3/4″

Gold Foil Piece: 2 1/4″ x 2 1/2″ Embossed with Greenery Mini Embossing Folder

2″ Vellum Circle from the Layering Circle Dies

DETAILS: 

• Using the 3rd Rectangle from Scalloped Contour Dies, place Die in the middle of the front card base to create the window.
• Stamp Sentiment on the 4th panel of insert
• Adhere Inside DSP Piece to the 3rd panel
• Adhered 1st Panel to the inside flap of the card front and Adhere 4th to the inside back portion of the card.  (SEE PHOTO BELOW)
• Using the Greenery Mini Embossing Folder, emboss the gold square piece.
• Die-cut a 2″ Vellum Circle using the Laying Circle Dies.
• Using the Solid Pinecone Dies, Die cut 1 larger and 2 smaller in Early Espresso
• Using the Outline Pinecone Dies Die cut 1 larger and 2 smaller in Gold Foil  TIP: Before cutting the foil pinecones adhere a strip of the self-adhesive sheets to the back of the foil strip.
•  With stampin’ dimensionals pop up your pinecones to circle and adhere to your gold foil square
• Adhere Outside DSP Strip about 1/4″ Away from the fold of the card. (SEE PHOTO ABOVE) 
• When adhering your gold square to the 2nd panel, be sure to only add adhesive to the right side of the square only otherwise your square won’t swing through the window.
• The sentiment is the Merry Christmas from the new Christmas to Remember Set.  ANOTHER TIP: The Sentiment was a little long for me and I did some surgery on the stamp and cut it in half.  YES< It is perfectly fine to do this!!!
