We are starting our hop CASEing the Quilted Christmas Section on Pages 4 – 9.

SO I FINALLY GOT MY CHRISTMAS ON !!!!

Now my most Favourite Bundle in the WHOLE catalogue is in this section!  It’s the Ready for Christmas Bundle.  I knew as soon as I saw it that I HAD to have it and it went straight to the top of my list! You can see why from the pictures below taken from page 6 –

It’s such a fun bundle with 20 stamps and 20 dies that I just couldn’t resist it.

To really show it off today I took inspiration from all of the projects that you see here and combined them into ONE card!  I haven’t made this type of Tri Fold Card before, so I was excited to give it a go with this bundle.  I thought the layout would work perfectly for what I wanted to create and I am really, really happy with how it turned out.

Here is the front of the card.  It’s a bit more bulky than a normal card, so I used some of our Gold Ribbon to loosely secure the card, so that it can slip on and off to open the card.

Once you slip off the ribbon you open the stair section of the card to reveal the Christmas Tree.  I love the way you can stamp this tree then cut the shape with the framelits, or cut the tree shape in coloured card and then cut and attach the leaves for a fabulous 3D look that jumps off the card!

The baubles are stamped and cut in the set of three, so much easier and less time consuming than doing them individually, which I love!!!  Combine the gold embossed baubles with a gold star and a bit of gold metallic thread wrapped around and your tree is all dressed up!  The panel behind the stairs was the perfect place for a Christmas Sentiment! Don’t you love that font!!!!

Open up the entire card and here is what you find!  A whole house scene!  This set really does have so many possibilities and is so much fun to create with!!!! I bet it will become one of your favourites too!

Here’s a clearer look at the front panel of the card.

I hope you enjoyed my project for today, because I had LOADS of fun creating it!  I may even make a tutorial for this project! What do you think?

Now it’s time to continue the tour and hop on over to the amazing Simone Bartrum!  She has made some brilliant cards using this bundle and was also my inspiration for this card – so click the link and see what she has created for you this week!!!!

Happy Crafting!!!!!
