Night Before Christmas Card and Tag

A super simple card and tag for you.

I used the designer paper "Night Before Christmas" with the matching die of Santa with sleigh and reindeer.  

I added a rhinestone to the lead reindeer!

It's hard to see in the photo but I added a wink of stella for sparkles to all the lower trees and on the light bulbs at the top.

The designer paper was cut 4" x 5 1/4" and the tag was 2" x 6"

And I used the last piece 3/4 x 4 to put on the front of the envelope using the other side of the paper!

This was a fun bundle to use over the holidays with it's matching Memories and More cards. It's still available in my online store til Jan 2nd.   I hope it goes on sale for the new year, let's watch for it in clearance, so many fun designs on the paper.

Happy crafting, happy Christmas

A few ideas: what about a Paper Pumpkin as a stocking stuffer?  Easy to mail to someone in a different location, just create a gift card and send the code.  

A kit for a crafter?  I love the kits in the annual catalog, especially the Looking Up Card Kit, everything in the box to make cards including the stamp set, ink, supplies!

Who wouldn't like to wake up to a Stamparatus on Christmas morning?

Or for the crafter who has it all... will always love an adhesive bundle of snail tombow and refills!

Happy shopping,

Snowman Season Quick Gift Card

Looking for a quick cute gift card?

This gift card holder or treat package can stand up (due to the mountain fold in the middle).

1.    Cut the paper 9” x 3”  - check the direction of your paper!

2.    Score at 1, 4 ½, 5 and 5 ½ - before you score, make sure the paper pattern (eg the trees) are pointing to the right and then start scoring.  (No need for you to waste paper, I did that for you!!) Do you see the trees pointing to the right and my scoring tool pointing to the 1”?
3.    Round the corners of the top of the holder that has the 1” score line

4.    Fold and burnish with a bone folder, making a mountain fold (a W) along the 5” score line (see photo)

5.    Now decorate it. If you want to make it as I did, I inserted the 2 ½ x 3” white piece inside for your greeting.  You can put a gift card in, or a bag of candy.

6.    For the outside, I stamped the Merry Christmas from the Snowman set on a piece ¾ x 3” in real red

7.    Add the clip and attach the bow with a glue dot
8.    Insert your gift card and either secure it with a glue dot or make sure it’s clipped in.
9.    Tip – if you need a bunch of these cut the paper 9 x 12 to make 4 at once!

You are done! If you need any of these supplies, my online store is always open - and remember you need to order by December 11 to ensure delivery by Christmas!

Happy crafting, enjoy the season - MaryKate

Butterfly Beauty - a collection of birthday, thank you, congratulations

I love these Butterfly Beauty Dies.  They were released last year and I've used them a lot.

Right now I needed some thank you, congratulations and birthday cards.  

My card is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 folded, the granite grey is 4 x 5 1/4 and the top whisper white layer is 3 3/4 x 5.

I used the Granny Apple Green and Gorgeous Grape (in part I like the colors and also they match these fun glitter dots).  It's all about color coordination.

So I cut the butterflies, attached them together with mini glue dots.   I had just a yard left of the matching grape ribbon (sadly gone now) and attached 12" by first putting some snail adhesive on top of the butterflies and then added the greeting with some dimensionals.  

Super easy card and I think it works great for all these occasions!

The dies are $39 in my online store and I've certainly got a lot of butterflies for my money over the past 12 months!

If you need any crafting supplies, just let me know, or drop into my online store.  Use a host code and you'll get a lovely gift in the mail from me.  November 2019 it was the real red / garden green glitter dots.  

happy crafting, MaryKate

IDEAS December Blog Hop - New Year Celebrations and Organization projects

Welcome to our IDEAS blog hop for December. We are 12 international Demonstrators with a tutorial bundle for you.  This month the theme is "getting ready for the New Year" so you'll see many ideas to celebrate the new year and many ideas for organization!

I created an organization box, perfect to hold your 3 basic adhesives and a rear compartment to hold your completed cards or projects. We will make this in my January class. I also created a photo card, and the tutorial has dimensions for different sizes (Memories and More small size and a regular sized card).


In the tutorial I share all the tips on creating these projects and of course all dimensions are listed in inches and cm.

I hope you like these projects and the projects from my fellow IDEAS demonstrators.  It's really a great bundle of inspiration for crafters or demonstrators looking for new ideas or workshop ideas.  Keep hopping so you can see all the creativity.   The bundle is about 60 pages of detailed full color instructions. 

Would you like a copy of the instructions for these projects to use for your personal use, or even to use in your classes? Contact me at MaryKate@MaryKateScott.com Free to customers who purchase $35, or Free to my team members, or $15 by PayPal.  

Once you have received the tutorials, please remember not to share or distribute the printed or electronic copies of these bundles. We have worked hard to provide these exclusive projects for your use. If you know someone that would like to purchase the bundle, please direct them to me to obtain their copy. Thanks for your support.
