Welcome to the Heart of Christmas for the last week of October 2024. Can you believe just 4 blog hops for this year, make sure you don't miss them! Today I am revisiting a fold that I did for week 13 believe it or not of Heart of Christmas in 2021. I had this idea in my head so I had to go back and find where I had previously done a similar card. If you want to check out that card you can find it here: Christmas Angels of Peace 2021

I called the card back then a hinge card, or a flap fold card and I think I will stick with that definition of a hinge card.

I have gone back to my favourite stamp set out of the Sept-Dec 2024 Mini the Shepherd's Care for my card today. To start this card you need create a base like any normal card base and cut an inch or 2.5 cm off the front edge.
From there it is all decoration. That strip you cut off is the hinge. So score 1 inch or 2.5 cm on 1 end and the other end you can trim down to size when you put what ever size greeting or focal point on of your choosing.
On the inside of the card I have a space for you to write and a strip of Season of Elegance Specialty DSP which is where you will adhere your hinge under before adhering this strip of DSP.
On the Front I have another contrasting piece of the Season of Elegance SDSP.

To decorate the Hinge Card now that you have put the basics together I have added a little bit more Season of Elegance to the hinge before adding the sentiment.

For the Sentiment I have cut a circle from the Country Woods DSP with the 2 3/8" circle punch then stamped the Prince of Peace stamp in Lost lagoon and punched it out with the 2" circle punch. Stamped again in Pretty Peacock and fussy cut only the Prince of Peace and popped that up on dimensionals. I stamped the other sentiment in Pretty Peacock and added to the reverse side of the sentiment on the back of the hinge.

While I was there I stamped the Town of David in Crumb Cake and Peace on Earth in Pretty Peacock.

I love how the hinge works.

Under the hinge focal point on the front you can find our Shepherd with his sheep. I have stamp him in Basic Grey and coloured them with the Stampin' Blends. Ivory for the sheep, Light and Dark Crumb Cake and Lost Lagoon and Dark Pretty Peacock for the shepherd. The Star is heat embossed in gold and fussy cut and popped up on dimensionals.

Quite a fun and easy card to do and you can put anything you like on the hinge, I do hope you will give it a go!
