On the Ninth Day of Christmas

On the ninth day of Christmas my true friend gave to me

Nine Pop-Up Cards

Eight Trinket Tags

Seven Sparkly Greetings

Six Cards in a Box

Five Stocking Stuffers

Four Place Settings

Three Christmas Ornaments

Two Countdown Calendars

and a Handmade Holiday Planner.


Look at this little army of pop-up cards! See how the one in the back on the stand is folded up and fits in a medium envelope? Pretty cool! There's also a flattened in front on the left.


Here's the card, made with the stamp set I love...A Holly, Jolly Christmas. It reminds me of those Burl Ives Christmas cartoon specials from a while back that I treasure.

I made this batch of cards assembly-line style after I designed the first one.

I stamped as many images as I could on my Whisper White cardstock since I'd be cutting them out with my Paper Snips.


Here I've laid out all of my cut, stamped, and embossed pieces. The Close to Cocoa base has been wheeled with the Jolly wheel and an uninked cartridge with VersaMark reinker on it. Then I followed these instructions (thanks Teresa!) for the cutting and scoring dimensions and cutting the slit. I added a tiny slit on the back with the Hobby Blade to push the tree trunk into.


Rudolph got a faux dew drop nose made with Crystal Effects and Riding Hood Red reinker.


I love this forest of cards:
