Week 6 - Heart of Christmas

 

Well today I have hunted hi and low for another fancy fold for you and I have been working on it all day. You will have to forgive that people in lockdown think that they actually need to be fed. I mean don't they know I have fancy fold cards to make! So today the card is more the adventure than the decorations I might put more on later but I am happy with where I am at now but it is quite the grand card and needs a few more decorations on other parts I think.

I found this fold by Jo Blackman a lady in the UK and I thought I just needed to give it a try. She called it a Hexagonal layered card. There are 10 pieces of card stock and 60 pieces of DSP before I started to decorate so stick with me and here we go!

So the very fist thing I did was cut all the base of the hexagonal card. I did this in Garden Green card as I was using the Peaceful Prints DSP which is a Sale-A-Bration item that you can earn for free when you purchase $90 work of product and if you have been looking in the New July-Dec Mini Catalogue I don't think that will be hard . Add a couple of things to bundle of Peaceful Deer and  Deer builder Punch.

  So we start with the tall centre hexagon and build our way around that firstly with the 3 full size  hexagons then with the 3 that we have cut a little bit out of as a place to decorate. Now we have the card base and we can start to put all those pieces of Peaceful Prints DSP on each section.

Before attaching the centre strip I attached the loop so that I could use it for the decorations.

 

As you can see both inside and out of each section is there is the lovely DSP.

I used an off cut from my card stock to measure exactly where I wanted the loop for the decorations.

Each section of decoration I  have used the Peaceful Dear Stamp set and used the garden green in and Soft Succulent Ink for the trees and put them through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder. I used the Label Me Fancy Punch for this sentiment and just made it a little shorter to fit into the spot.

This section I stamped the Deer in Early Espresso ink and then coloured him in with Crumb Cake Light and Dark  Stampin Blends. I love the Stampin' Blends

For this section I used the Deer Builder punch once again and punched out the red deer from the Peaceful Prints Paper.

Of course all of this can fold flat if you want it too.

And if you like you can even put a tea light candle in the bottom as well.

I hope you enjoyed my card tonight I certainly enjoyed putting it together. If you have any questions about this card please do not hesitate to contact me.
