Good morning, good morning! Happy Labor Day Weekend… I have this super cute card for you today, so getting right to it.

This card could be good for Thanksgiving or for Christmas. Yes, it does have holly leaves as part of the embellishments and ond colored on the cake, but … remove the embellishments and add something else for embellishment, color the sweater a different color, maybe Pumpkin Pie and there ya go. Oh, and don’t stamp the badger.

I used Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper in this wonderful plaid for the card front and another piece of DSP from the same pack for the pop-out portion. The card base is Pecan Pie.

• Cut the card base 8 1/2 x 5 12 and score at 4 1/4
• Cover the front in Designer Series Paper 4 x 5 1/4 (this is Let’s Go Fishing DSP)
• Using a die from Stylish Shapes Dies, place it on the card front, centering left to right, and die cut.
• Add a panel of Very Vanilla 4 x 5 1/4 to the inside of the card.
• Cut a panel of Pecan Pie card stock 6 x 4 1/2 and cover in DSP 5 3/4 x 4 1/4. Score on the long side at 2″ & 4″. Burnish well.
• Stamp the badger image from Festive & Fun stamp set on the second panel in Memento ink and color with Stampin’ Blends Crumb Cake. Color Lifter and Real Red for the candy cane stripes.
• Cut a panel of Very Vanilla 4 x 1 1/2; stamp the sentiment from Festive & Fun stamp set in Real Red ink; add Real Red strips; adhere to far left panel of this three panel fold.
• Adhere this three fold panel, centering, to the inside of the card. TIP: Before adhering it in place close card to make certain it centers with the circle opening of the card front.
• Die cut the same size circle as the card front in Real Red card stock
• Stamp image from Festive & Fun stamp set in Memento ink on a Very Vanilla panel and punch out with 2 3/8 circle punch. Color with Stampin’ Blends Crumb Cake, Real Red, Granny
  Apple Green, Lemon Lolly (bottom of cake) and Wink of Stella for the cake top. Adhere this to the Real Red Circle.
• Close card front with the inside three-fold panel folded; adhere decorated circle to the folded panel in the circle opening.
• Decorate card front as desired.
  • I added a bow with Linen Thread and Real Red ribbon from the Real Red and Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack
  • I also added these super cute holly leaves from the Loose Holly Gems & Sequins in the new Sep-Dec 2023 Mini catalog.

The photo at left shows how the pop-out card looks from the top. The next photo is the card & envelope… the flap is covered in more of the Let’s Go Fishing DSP and the front is stamped with this cute bird in Memento ink from the Festive & Fun stamp set. It was colored with Real Red Stampin’ Blends.

Fun card, right? I can’t wait to see what you create with this Pop-Out idea. So many stamp sets to choose from!
