Fancy Folds for Christmas

By
Sorry this is late folks - been looking after a poorly husband this weekend. He's a little under the weather and needed some TLC.
Back to business though and here is my card for this week's 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - the theme this week (if you couldn't guess from the post title) is 'Fancy Fold Cards'





This really isn't that hard to do. The main card was decorated and the fold out part was made by concertinaing a piece of black CS and then placing it on a tag die with the folds lined up above the bottom cutting blade. I used the retired Stampin' Up Two Tags die and my folds were placed on the die just above the half way mark - in this case there is a fold line on the die so it was easy to see. Decorative pieces were added to the extra long tag and some sentiments and then it was folded up and attached to the front of the card with some ribbon to keep it closed.

Materials - Stampin' Up
Stamps: Joyful Christmas
Ink: Real Red
Card Stock: Naturals Ivory, Real Red, Basic Black
Paper: Polka Dot Parade DSP, Silver Glimmer Paper

    This is fabulous Jacqueline, I love how the tag is tied closed with ribbon and can be opened - a really fun secret aspect to the card! Very festive colours and the silver paper adds a wow pop of sparkle!

    Sorry to hear your hubby is not well, hope he feels better soon. Take care of yourself too! Ruth x

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
