The Heart of Christmas - Week 4 - 2024 - Pop Up Book Fold

 

Welcome to week 4 of the Heart of Christmas for 2024. I am sure you are enjoying following us each week on a Monday and we will be here until the end of November.

This week I have for you a fold that I have seen a few times but I have never tried myself and thought I might give it a go. It is a Pop Up Book Fold. It has been around for a long time and I have thought I could use it again with this gorgeous stamp set Shepherd's Care.

I have gone very simple on the front of the card and  again this week used the gorgeous Seasons of Elegance Specialty DSP with the gold foil throughout the paper. I have used Pretty Peacock as the card base and Basic Beige as the layer. On the front I have gold embossed the sentiment on the Basic Beige and cut it out using the Everyday Detail dies and backed it with a layer of Cherry Cobbler card stock and then the new gorgeous Cherry Cobbler and Gold Satin Ribbon underneath is divine!

This is how the book pop up fold looks before you decorate. The couple of version I found were for a larger version and wouldn't fit in our C6 envelopes so I worked it out to fit inside our normal card size and envelope. So you have seen the front and the card base of Pretty Peacock then this layer which is the fancy Book Pop Up Fold I did in Basic Beige.

I have used the gorgeous Season of Elegance Specialty DSP to line all the surfaces of the fold, the outer one in the Basic Beige and the inner and the book surface in the Pretty Peacock. Plus just for a pop of colour I added a strip of the Cherry Cobbler piece as well.

I have stamped the Shepherd from Shepherd's Card in Basic Gray on Basic White and then coloured using the Stampin' Blends. Light & Dark Crumb Cake, Light & Dark Pretty Peacock, Light Lost Lagoon and Ivory.

The star and the sentiment on the right hand side of the book has also been embossed in gold but on Basic Beige this time and the star has been fussy cut out. To write your message on the card I have added a spot on the back of the card.

This angle of the card give you a great view of the fold.
