Fancy Folds for Christmas

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.
