FRIDAY IS ALL ABOUT FUNFOLD CARDS

I’m not entirely sure what to call this card – if you have a name for it, please let me know.

After starting with a Basic White cardbase, I embossed a panel of Pool Party card, using the Damask Designs Embossing Folder, and adhered it to the base.

I cut a 9″x 4 1/4″ piece of Pool Party card and scored it at 3″ and 6″. This was then folded and burnished to create a z-fold.

Then I secured a length of White Ribbon behind the z-fold and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up on front of the card.

I used one of the Traditional Labels Dies to cut four Basic White shapes. These were then embossed with the same embossing folder and popped up on the card front and added inside the z-fold panel.

Using one of the Christmas Greenery Dies I cut four of the floral arrangements to use to decorate the card.

I added some of the Opal Rounds from the Assortment pack to the front of the card.

I stamped the greeting inside the z-fold area of the card.

These projects were fun to create – I hope you like them.

Next week I will have more fabulous projects to share with you.

Today I have another Christmas card to share with you.

It is hard to go past this sumptuous Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection.

I started with a Real Red card base and added a layer of gold Textured Metallic Specialty Paper. Then I adhered a panel of the DSP.

Two leaf fronds were cut from the gold Textured Metallic Specialty Paper and attached to the card. There was Adhesive Sheet on each frond.

The greeting was stamped in Secret Sea onto a panel of Real Red card. Then I cut a ribbon from the Adhesive Sheet-backed piece of gold foil and added it to the greeting panel.

I added a strip of the DSP to the card insert and the back of the envelope.

Tomorrow I have a lovely little Christmas box to share with you.

Until then happy stamping and scrapbooking.
