. <\/a><\/p>\nYou know how it is–we say “I don’t need that stamp set…”\u00a0 and then we see a wonderful card and, oh my, we must have the stamp set.\u00a0 That is what happened when I saw this card made by Mary Deatherage.\u00a0 She used The Sweet Candy Canes Bundle,<\/strong> bundle meaning a stamp set and die set sold together for 10% off.\u00a0 The stamp set is Sweet Candy Canes<\/strong> and the dies are Candy Cane Dies<\/strong>.\u00a0 Just as important to the card is the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper<\/strong>.\u00a0 The paper has candy canes that you can cut out with the dies- and the candy cane dies have a die that faces right and one that faces left to create what you see above.\u00a0 \u00a0The set is in the holiday mini catalog- pages 8-11.\u00a0 I used the label die for threading ribbon but check out how a real candy cane could be used:<\/p>\n Don’t miss those little Flat Jingle Bell Trinkets!\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>What fun to add those to your candy cane – or your cards!<\/p>\n Ahh, good question, Sal.\u00a0 I received several cards in years past with the jingle bells that are 3D and the post office machines completely smashed the bells.\u00a0 You also pay extra if your card doesn’t fit through a 1\/4″ slot.\u00a0 They actually test it at the post office and if it doesn’t fit their slot the card becomes a package and you pay a lot more to mail it.<\/p>\n Good question, Sal.\u00a0 There are various colors of candy canes and two pieces of 12X12, so 32 from each sheet, 64 in total, if you don’t care which direction they are going or which color they are.\u00a0 For my stamp camp I used the red and green candy canes but here is what the DSP looks like – minus the red and green I used for my class:<\/p>\n Yes, and the Christmas Whimsey paper with its beautiful pastels just got added to the Clearance Rack.<\/a><\/p>\n The second card we did is a case of Lavonne Schwendeman’s Santa train card design and Crystal Best’s Circle Tri Fold instructions adjusted by me to fit our standard A2 envelopes.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n Why would I want ‘flat’ bells?<\/a><\/p>\nRecipe for Book Fold Candy Cane Christmas card:<\/h3>\n
