.jpg "Double Swing Greetings of the Season card")
This week I thought I had better start with a fancy fold. If you were playing along at home last Wednesday with out Bubble Bath Colour creations blog hop I let you know that I was trying a card and I had tried a couple of times and couldn't stick the landing. I had watched a couple of different tutorials on this particular fold and still couldn't make the fold work just right. Well I found yet another tutorial and using different measurements I think I have finally scored!
Today my fancy fold is called a double swing fold card! I have made a single swing fold card before and you can find that one here for our Summer Splash colour creation blog hop.
I have used a card base of Mossy Meadow and layered with Very Vanilla and the gorgeous paper is the Seasons of Green and Gold Specialty DSP.
When you lay the card out flat you can see all the different section. I have stamped the sentiment in Versamark and gold heat embossed. The stamp set is the Greetings of the Season stamp set and this along with the DSP is part of the Seasons of Green and Gold Suite Collection that is an online exclusive. You may notice that I have embossed the 2 side panels with the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder.
If you flip the card over you will see the front 2 side sections which I have also embossed in the Changing leaves folder but I have added die cuts from the Green and Gold Specialty DSP and a vellum leaf from the Graceful Greenery Vellum. I then gold embossed Merry Christmas on Very Vanilla and fussy cut that out. Here also on the back there is a place to write your message.
If for any reason one of your next blog buttons doesn't take you to where you think you should go come back to my blog each week as I have the privilege to host our Heart of Christmas blog hop and I will have the list of our wonderful team members participating and you can continue your blog hop from the list.
The reason I think I manage to get this one to work finally is because this was made with a piece of card stock 10 x 6 inches rather than the 12 x 6 inches of the 2 other tutorials I had been watching or maybe it was the person giving the tutorial. Laura Stranks from Brisbane!
