🔴Easy and Unique DIY Handmade Christmas Card

#handmadecards #christmascards #stampinup
Let's DIY a handmade Christmas card that's both easy and unique. This offset gate fold provides great space for the use of your designer papers and includes a surprise card element once opened.
I love the element of surprise that fun fold cards provide and this one includes a center lift card that's part of the interior. The best part about my Christmas card is that it can be used all year round for various occasions, even invitations and announcements. Consider adding this fun fold and to your scrapbooking by adhering it to one layout for added space to journal or provide photos.

ABOUT ME: I’m so glad you stopped by to visit Lisa’s Stamp Studio on KZbin! My passion for paper crafting and card making is what has inspired me to teach others since 1998. Whether you’re a new or seasoned stamper, card maker or scrapbooker, you’ll find an array of demonstrations, techniques, and videos here that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. If you have any questions along the way, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I'd love to hear from you!
Not 5 Ways to Add Gold Foil, But Vellum Overlay Card, But Creative Uses For Embossing Folders, But Soft Watercolor Background, But Magic Slider Card, But Heat Embossing With Stencils, or any other video like Jennifer McGuire, Kristina Werner, Gina K, Simon Hurley, Justine Hovey, or Moriah Elizabeth would make. This is a video where Lisa Curcio (aka Lisa’s Stamp Studio) teaches people how to make a card in order to make crafting easy and fun!

SO glad you recovered, Lisa. Regarding the tweezers ... they automatically are pinched, and it is a little tricky first few uses, because you PINCH to open, instead of as regular tweezers, you pinch to close.
