Stampin' Up! Peaceful Deer Christmas Fun Fold Card

TGIF, peeps! Welcome to my fun-fold Friday. 

I had no idea what fun fold I was going to make until Connie Stewart demonstrated a triple flap card on You Tube yesterday! I had no problem with the theme because of these challenges:

1. ABC Christmas - N is for New and O is for Old - I used the new Lights Aglow  Designer Series Paper for my side flaps and Silver & Gold Specialty Paper for the front flap. The old is the Peaceful Deer Stamp Set, cardstock, inks, punch and ribbon.
2. Alphabet Challenge - H is for Holidays
3. Crafty Gals Corner: Challenge #233 - Christmas in July
4. Krafty Chicks Christmas #620 
5. The 12 Months of Christmas Link Up #90
6. Creative Creases #36 - ATG with a Fun Fold
7. Christmas Craft - Patterned Paper - see above!

The main portion of my Evening Evergreen cardstock piece measures 4" x 10 1/2", scored and folded at 5 1/4". The Soft Succulent cardstock base measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

With the leftover piece of Evening Evergreen, cut two pieces 2 1/2" x 5 1/8". Fold and score each piece at 1/2". Adhere to sides of Evening Evergreen to create the two flaps.

Cut four pieces of DSP for the flaps at 1 3/4" x 5" and adhere to flaps with liquid glue.

Cut the front panel DSP at 3 3/4" x 5" and adhere to Evening Evergreen card front. Adhere the Evening Evergreen card to the Soft Succulent base with liquid glue.

With the remaining piece of Evening Evergreen, punch out two pieces with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch or any punch that fits your sentiment. I chose to use the stamps from the Peaceful Deer Stamp Set. 

On a 2 1/2" x 3" piece of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink and the garland in Soft Succulent ink. I cut the pieces of Evening Evergreen in half, different directions to create a frame for the back of the Basic White that was also punched with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch (adhered with liquid glue). I adhered that to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I cut a piece of  3/8" Open Weave Soft Succulent Ribbon, tied a bow, and attached it with a glue dot; then I trimmed the ends.

The inside Basic White panel measures 4" x 5". I stamped the deer in Soft Succulent but used a sponge dauber to ink the word section with Evening Evergreen. The bunny is stamped in Soft Succulent and the sentiments are Evening Evergreen. I adhered it to the card with liquid glue.

Oh, and if you are not receiving emails from me any longer about when I post, the Mail Chimp link was not working for some people so I switched to Follow It. Therefore, if you aren't receiving notices but want to, just click on the Subscribe button and enter your email address. You will receive an email from Follow It asking you to confirm that you want to subscribe. If you don't see that email, check your spam folder. Clicking on the follow button just shows that you are following me but I don't think you get notifications that I've posted. Let me know if I'm wrong on that.

I'm also entering my card in the Inspirational Challenge #269 - Designer's Choice - Favourite Colour in Monochrome. My favorite color is lime green. This card isn't that, but it is shades of green :-)

If you look at the partial product list below, you'll see the cost of the Silver & Gold Specialty Paper is $0! That's right, you can't buy it!! You can only get it with an order of $50 before s/h during our July-August Sale-A-Bration. You can find out more by visiting my online store.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend ahead of you.
