Today’s Make-it-Monday project is this fun-fold Christmas card. I used the Cottage Wreaths Bundle along with the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! to create it. The card unfolds with three panels. I added a pocket to one of the panels to tuck a gift card into.
This is such a versatile card that can be used for multiple occasions. I think a tag or small photo would be a cute idea to slip into the pocket of the card. It would also make a sweet mini scrapbook to gift to someone.

The project I’m sharing with you today is this spinner candy box. The box is made using the Give-it-a-Whirl dies from Stampin’ Up! The inspiration for this Give it a Whirl Spinner Candy Box came from Emma Fawcett. Emma is a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator from the U.K. and goes by Emma’s Crafty Space on YouTube.
The Spinner Candy Box is a fun, interactive way to give some sweet treats. Two Christmas greetings peek out as you turn the spinner on the box top. The third space in the spinner top reveals the opening and all the candies inside!
Below is a cutting and scoring guide to help construct the base for the spinner box. Watch the video tutorial for specific instructions to assemble the spinner portion.

I used one of my favorite new Christmas bundles from Stampin’ Up! to create the cards I’m sharing with you today! The Sweet Gingerbread bundle is so much fun to create with. Here are a few projects that I have made using this bundle:
Instead of Designer Series Paper, I used the Rays of Light background stamp on today’s cards. Pink Christmas cards are trending so I created this card using Flirty Flamingo and Polished Pink inks. Don’t you think the Seasonal Adhesive Backed Sequins appear as snow falling?
Here is another sample using more traditional holiday colors. I’m sorry that I could not get the lighting to work when photographing this one. The Real Red Glimmer Trees and stepping stones are not showing off their sparkling selves in this photo.

Make four cards at once? Yes, please! Today’s cards are brought to you by the Four Corners Technique. This was my first time using this technique and I will try it again!
Make sure you watch the video replay from today’s Make-it-Monday Facebook Live to learn how fun and easy cards are to make using the Four Corners Technique.
Several comments during the Facebook live were about the colors I used in the cards. My new favorite Christmas color combo is Real Red with Tahitian Tide.
