Week 10 - Heart of Christmas

 

I know you will not be surprised but I couldn't help myself! I made a fancy fold for you for this week, week 10 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop 2021! Yes I know, I know! I said I was going to make quick stacks of cards to build up my stash. Well I did do that last week. So there is that, but the Angels were singing to me and they told me that I just had to make another card.

Welcome to Week 10 of Heart of Christmas and to my Double Display card featuring the Angels of Peace!

Well this card was a little bit involved as I thought I needed to make it smaller than the measurement than I had seen on Pinterest for the base. I was thinking cut my card base in half vertically at 10.5 cm and then go from there. Well it did work it just meant I had to do some math and my poor head was not in the game so I worked it out on paper first before I did it on the card stock. Good tip for young players or old players like me even! You know the old adage: "Measure twice, cut once" Hey it worked and it is the perfect size for the angel! 

In the end as you can see there are quite a few folds and score lines so I decided that I would not to worry about how big that centre piece was that is not cut or scored along the line just to work out how big I wanted the edge parts that fold and how big I wanted the panel. Once I had decided that I just went from each of the 4 corners first scoring the lines both horizontally that I needed and vertically then I cut the 4 horizontal lines. This also meant that I had everything in the correct position before I cut. Ok so I was really checking my work again!!! LOL!! It really isn't that hard I just don't think my brain was working very well today.

So once I had the fold all sorted then I cut the gorgeous Peaceful Place Specialty DSP to fit each of the sections and on the front 5 panels I have embossed them with the Merry Melody 3D embossing Folder.

You might notice that the 2 angels are placed on 2 extra panels that are adhered to the sides of the card to give that extra bit of surface for displaying the Angels.

In the centre of the card I have stamped the beautiful sentiment in Basic Gray  to match the DSP and cut it out with the Scalloped Contour Dies.

On the back I have added another greeting and space for writing but you could also add the space for writing on the front and leave the back empty if you wish.

I have coloured the Angels with the Stampin' Blends after stamping them in Basic Grey and popped them on dimensionals. As you can see you can carefully fold the card down to fit into our envelopes.

I know that maybe I could have made it a little taller but still I like that the  Angel's fit just nicely onto the card. And this way I can make 2 card bases from 1 piece of card stock as well.

Don't forget to add your star!

Hope this card brings you some Angel Joy today.
