Welcome back to day 3 of the 12 Days of Christmas with Brenda Nelson – Stamps and Stretchy Pants and I! Today I am sharing a super easy fun fold using the Beary Christmas Memory & More products.
Every Christmas, I turn to the Memory & More products to create quick, easy and super cute cards! This year is no exception. The Beary Christmas Suite is absolutely adorable! I loved using the Memory & More Cards to create a ton of easy cards.
Creating the Pocket
Creating a pocket card could not be easier! For this card, I simply added a strip of Tear and Tape along the 2 sides perpendicular to the fold, to seal up 3 of the 4 edges. Then added a cute insert.
I used Wink of Stella to splatter sparkles over the front to look like snow. The sticker sheets included in the Memory & More Cards worked beautifully to create the adorable family of bears on the front, as well as the sentiment. After arranging these in place, I created the insert.
For the insert, I chose a large Memory & More card and trimmed it as needed to slide easily in and out of the pocket. The sentiment was fussy cut from a second card and layered onto the insert card. I save all the little scraps when creating with these cards. The little strips work well for layering, and other elements, like this pull tab. I stapled it in place, then tied a gold bow around it using Simply Elegant Trim.
To finish it off, I added some Glitter Sequins on the front for a little bling.
Thank You
Thanks for stopping by today for day 3 of our 12 Days of Christmas. I hope you enjoyed seeing how easy it is to create a pocket fold card! Now hop on over to see what Brenda has to share, I know it will be amazing!
Welcome back to day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop with my friend Brenda Nelson from Stamps & Stretchy Pants! Today I am sharing a card made with the Beary Cute stamp and punch bundle.
Overall, I love how this card has tons of texture from the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, and the pops of color from the red ink. It’s fairly simple, but I love it!
The Beary Cute stamp and punch bundle is part of an adorable product suite. And I love how the bears can be left white, or colored, depending on what type you want them to be. And that baby….so cute!!
I added a bit of color to the background for more interest. Then I used a piece of vellum and some trim over the top as a backdrop for the bears.
To finish it off, I added a few Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins for a little blingy-bling to it all. I mean, you have to, right?
Thank You

Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas with Melanie and Brenda! I am kicking off the celebration with this simple, but adorable, gift card holder!
Last year, my friend Brenda Nelson (Stamps & Stretchy Pants) and I hosted a 12 Days of Christmas. Well, it was so much fun, we decided to do it again this year! For the next 12 days, we will share holiday inspiration and ideas with you to get in the holiday spirit. I hope you hop along with us each day, and enjoy our creations!
I don’t know about you, but for me, gift cards have certainly become a mainstay in the holiday gifting. But, who wants to give a plain gift card! These boxes are the answer, and are so cute. I have added a simple belly band created with this basic pattern from the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper collection. The tag is stamped using the adorable Trucking Along Stamp Set. Yes, I know the truck is super cute, but there are other great stamps in this set, too!
The box looks so cute to gift, but simply slide the belly band off to get to the loot! These boxes come with a gift card holder insert, but if you leave it out, you could use the box for a small gift or treat as well!
For a little glitz, I tied it with the Real Red & Gold Dotted Ribbon, brought in some More Dazzle Specialty Paper, and added a few Festive Pearls.
Online Exclusives
The One Horse Open Sleigh and Real Red & Gold Dotted Ribbon are items from the Online Exclusives section of my online store. I love these items! They offer even more selection for seasonal items. Don’t forget to check out that section periodically for the latest product releases!
To Create This Project
Cut (2) 6″ x 2″ strips of designer series paper

Layer on a piece of More Dazzle Specialty Paper cut 2 3/8″ x 1 5/8″
Assemble box. Stamp sentiment on gift card holder insert in Memento Black ink and place in box. Adhere the (2) strips of designer series paper together to create a long strip, and wrap around box. Adhere ends together being careful not to adhere to box. Tie a ribbon bow around the belly band. Stamp sentiment and presents in Memento Black ink on label. Color as desired with Stampin’ Blends. Layer with the More Dazzle Specialty Paper. Adhere to box with dimensionals. Embellish with pearls as desired.
