.... Good morning - it's the weekend already! It's time for our new challenge at
52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and Danielle has a real dozy for us! She wants to have cards with fancy folds. Now, I'm not great with anything other that simple folds - so for me this was a real challenge. However, here's my card:
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Nutcracker Sweet, Compliments of the Season II
Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black; Stampin' Up! - Pool Party
Dies: Spellbinders - Scalloped Rectangles Lg (S4-133) #5
Accessories: White Lustre Card; Dovecraft DP - Christmas Blues; SU Card - Pool Party; Gems; Copics
It's a standard 5½" × 4¼" card; I folded the front in half and then positioned my die and only cut half way - creating a flip-card. I covered the inside back and side as well as the front fold with some pretty Christmas paper. I cut a couple of panels in Pool Party card to make the flip section a bit stronger. I stamped some little Christmas trees directly on the front panel, as well as one on white card which I coloured with Copics. I cut this one out and adhered it with dimensional tape. The inside has a panel in white on which I stamped another greeting.
I'm really pleased how this turned out - you should have seen the first couple I tried to make - they are in the bin! I've also taken a photo of the card standing up so that you can see the fancy folds.
Don't forget to check out the inspiration cards from the rest of the team - there are a selection of fancy folds on display!! See you soon.
