Nutcrackers
************************************************
I love this set. These nutcrackers are awesome!
Here is my first card.
I did a pop cut out card using the arch shape. I stamped out one nutcracker on one side and the other nutcracker on the opposite side.  This is a very fun card with the spinning nutcrackers.

I still wanted to play with set some more so I made another card.
For this card I made a Flip Fold Card. This is the current challenge over at Scrapbook Blessings Club. You can find the tutorial HERE.

Here is the card opened up. I did a mini word search inside. I think it will be a great card for my little nephew. He loves word searches. So he will have to find all the "joy" words.

    Love the spinning nutcrackers. What a creative way to use the sentiments on your second card. Searching for "joy" sounds like something we should all be doing. Great job showcasing this month's sets.

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
