Hello Everyone ~ I have a Fancy Fold Christmas Card for you today.
Yesterday was another busy day. I had a workshop in the morning then worked on cutting for the mini album kit I needed. I had to go to the dentist ~ yay!!!!!!!!! no cavities ~ and when I got back I vacuumed and then started cutting for 2 more kits I needed. I also had my first mini album class last night. Needless to say I was pretty tired. Today I have an energy audit being conducted and then I am headed to the yarn shop. I will also have to finish kitting the last 2 kits for tomorrow morning. I have nothing this weekend so I will be able to relax and play with some ideas I have been wanting to try.
My card today started with an idea I saw on a You Tube video on a mini album. I saw the idea and thought that it would be a good idea for a card so I decided to give it a try. Make sure you let me know what you think of my card. I began with some designer series paper that would not be used for Christmas. My card base is a single layer of Garden Green. I cut a piece of Painted Autumn dsp that was 4′ x 5 1/4″ but did not attach it. I cut a piece of Very Vanilla that was 4″ x4 1/2″. It was scored at 1/2″ on the 4 1/2″ side. Using Tear & Tape I attached the 1/2″ piece to the back of my dsp centering it top to bottom. Then I added the dsp and flap to the card base. The corners of the flap were rounded and a piece of the Delightful Daisy dsp was added on top that had the corners rounded also. For the inside, I cut a piece of Very Vanilla that measured 2 7/8″ x 2 7/8″ and round all the corners. The sentiment is from Labels to Love and I stamped it using Cherry Cobbler ink. I mounted this piece onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler that measured 3″ x 3″ that the corners were rounded. This piece was attached to the card base underneath the flap. Now you just have to decorate the flap front. I used the Leaf framelit form Seasonal Layers and a video by Valita to create poinsettia. I used the same framelit for the leaves. Once I had my poinsettia created I attached it to the flap using glue dots. The center was created with a 1/2″ circle punch of Silver foil and a clear Faceted gem. Here is my completed Fancy Fold Christmas Card.

Like the card! I had to read and look at it a couple times before the brain figured out – how do you open it? duh. Really cute. Will have to try that one.
