Stampin' Up! Whimsical Trees Joy Fold Christmas Card

TGIF, peeps! Whatcha doin' for the weekend? I'm cleaning out file drawers UNLESS I get side tracked by You Tube, Facebook Lives or blog hopping. Somehow card making usurps mundane jobs! I detest paperwork unless it's working with paper, i.e., cardstock and patterned paper! I'm sure you understand!!

Let me show you what I made for today. My teammate, Karen Ksenzakovic, will recognize the fold right away! You can see hers here.


This Joy Fold card is so easy to create. I used Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper, Misty Moonlight cardstock, Mossy Meadow cardstock and Basic White cardstock. Measurements are listed below. My sentiments and images are from the Whimsical Trees Stamp Set. I used Tasteful Labels Dies and Layering Circles Dies for the stamped tree and mat. The embellishments are from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (Night of Navy).

The opened fold...

Measurements

Misty Moonlight: 8 1/2" x 4 1/4", scored and folded at 5 1/2" (base) and 8" x 3", scored and folded at 4" (fun fold); scrap for circle mat for tree

Beauty of the Earth DSP:  4" x 5 1/4" (inside); 2 3/4" x 4" (left side front flap)

Mossy Meadow: 2 7/8" x 3 7/8" (2) (front flap mat for sentiment and inside flap mat for sentiment)

Basic White: 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" (2) (front sentiment/image and inside flap); scrap  for die cut tree circle

So, you can either watch TOK's (the other Karen) video for instructions or ask me for directions by leaving a comment with an email address so I can respond.
