Good Tuesday morning, peeps! Today's card is my third Christmas card this month. I have a great jump on Christmas in July! This fun fold design is courtesy of my team mate Karen K. You can see her card here. I am not going to reinvent the wheel so if you click on that link, you'll find her template, instructions and video of the "how to". Thank you, Karen, for all that you have shared!
I used the Tidings & Trimmings Stamp Set, Christmas Trimmings Dies, and Tidings of Christmas DSP. I actually purchased the Tidings of Christmas Suite. Here are photos of the front view, side view and inside.
The colored cardstock that I used is Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent. The ribbon is Evening Evergreen 3/8" Chevron Weave. The gem in the middle of the front star is one of the Evening Evergreen 2021-2023 In Color Jewels.
The inside sentiment is from the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set. I used Soft Succulent ink and Cherry Cobbler ink. I also used Adhesive Sheets when I cut out the DSP stars.
I'm entering my card in Pixie's Snippets Playground Challenge #406 and I definitely want to win the prize Di is offering! There are a lot of "snippets" on this card!!
Also, I'm entering Creative Creases Challenge #10 - Fun Fold, Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper June 2021 Challenge, her weekly Christmas Challenge 548 and Christmas Card Throwdown Technique Challenge Tic Tac Toe. I went across the middle.
Thank you for stopping by today and do check out Karen K.'s blog.
This is very pretty! I was on the fence about this set and paper, but the more I see of it, the more I love it! I am definitely going to check out the tutorial for the fold!
ReplyDeleteThank you, LeAnne. You need to try it!
DeleteHi Karen! Yes i do have comment moderation turned on. I adore this card - absolutely wonderful. Clever girl! I just looked at the paper pack on SU and it does seem quite similar as you say - although I think there's actually some gold foiling on the SU pack - beautiful. You're in the prize draw for the Honey Bee pack- good luck!

Thank you so much, Di. I'm going to try making my own DSP similar to that. Wish me luck!
DeleteI have loads of alcohol inks, including silver and gold - so it's doable for sure! Check out Loll Thompson's blog as I'm sure she's used gold with A Inks. Here's a link to one of her videos: https://www.stampingwithloll.com/2016/11/video-alcohol-inks-with-yupo.html

Me again - yes. Loll used silver right at the begining of the video I sent you the link for just now! xx
DeleteDi, it was a great video with such beautiful cards. Thanks for sending me the link.
DeleteSuch a beautiful holiday card, Karen! Love all of the "snippets" and you're so smart to make your special fold holiday cards early! You have inspired me to do the same! Thank you for playing with the Creative Creases Challenge and hope you will join in again soon.

Thank you, Debbie.
DeleteI so love interactive cards! Your design is wonderful. I stink at making them (might be a lack of patience to make all the piece work). I love your card...would be so fun to receive.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eliz. Yes, it does require patience and I do have it pretty much of the time.
DeleteBeautiful card! I’m jealous of your jump on your holiday cards! Now, I feel behind already! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan. Get busy...lol!
DeleteWell - guess it's time for me to order this pretty set!! I love this fun fold, Karen - great job! :)
