Stampin' Up! Season of Elegance for the Creative Creases Challenge #110

 Welcome to our Anything Goes With a Fun Fold Challenge. If you haven't played at Creative Creases Challenge before, what are you waiting for? Hop on over to Challenge #110. We'd love to see your fun fold creation. Here's mine...

 

 

 

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

Does it look different? Yes, because it is...it's the back side! I wish I had used thicker white cardstock because the Menorah shows through. I have a friend who celebrates Hanukkah and Christmas so this is for her and her family. I used the Season of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper, Seasonal Lantern and Plaid Tidings Stamp Sets, both retired.

 

The Serene Stamper was the video I watched on how to  make this fun fold.  Tina Zinck made different sizes in her video so I won't go into the details, you can watch her here. 

 

Thank you for stopping by today and I can't wait to see all the creativity from the team.  Be sure to check us out at CCC#110 and we hope to see your entry there!  

 
 

Stampin' Up! Prince of Peace Christmas Card

It's a Saturday again and hopefully a good start for the weekend. I've been in a Christmasy sort of mood so I'm finishing off  November with Christmas cards for our church shut ins. Here's the first of eight. 

 

Cherry Cobbler Base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4 on long side

 Basic White Mat 3 3/4" x 5"

3 patterns from Traditions of Christmas Specialty DSP                          3 1/2" x 4 3/4". 

Put pieces together, slip under trimmer so you can mark long edge with a pencil at 1" and 2 1/2"; turn around and mark same on long edge; cut on the diagonal from top pencil mark on one side to the other top pencil mark on the other side making sure the edges line up; do the same with next pencil marks. Don't get the sequence messed up and keep them stacked! Line them up horizontally or vertically, depending on how you want your base to go. On the first stack, take the top piece and put it on the bottom; on the second stack take the first piece and put it on the bottom; take the second piece and put it on the bottom. Leave the third stack as is. Taking the top piece from each stack, glue the pieces to the front leaving a border but no space in between the pieces. Continue in the same manner with the remaining stacks. Decorate as desired.

I just love a fun fold, don't you? Today's was inspired by Sally Poole. She calls it a Tri-Shutter fold and you can watch her video here. I might cover the back with more DSP at a later date.
