Today I have for you a fancy fold card that my dear friend and our fellow Heart of Christmas blog hopper Kate Morgan sent me. She thought I might be looking for a new fold that I needed to try out. Well Kate today is the day for you. She sent me a video of a card by Sam Calcott in the UK. Well I thought I had better adjust all the measurements and make sure that it would fit into our envelopes. I did actually accomplish that so here goes.
It did take me a little bit to work it out and I am blaming my migraine brain this week on taking just a couple of goes to get it the right size. I don't think that was too bad for a brain being on fire! It is basically a triple fold card that doesn't want to end really. So I did the base in Shaded Spruce and worked my way up from there. You had to cut on piece of card stock and then add another to the end to get it to be this long.
For the card I layered the whole card in gold foil and then with layered that with the Joy of Christmas DSP. For the front of the card I have used The Joy of Noel Bundle and cut out the Noel in Gold Foil, I have stamped Joyous from the stamp set in Basic Grey and fussy cut it out. I have cut out a circle using the Deckled Circle Dies and using a little bit of Balmy Blue I have blended over the circle to take that bit of raw white off the circle. Under the circle I have layered Spruce leaves and stamped and a sprig of holly and leaves and coloured them in with the Stampin' Blends and layered them on a cut out layer of Rose Gold Foil.
On the inside I have kept the decorations very minimal so that the card can fold down.
On the back I made a space for writing
What a fun and crazy card this has been.
Plus it folds flat and fits into our envelopes so there is that too!
If you have any questions about my card today please don't hesitate to contact me.
