Heart of Christmas - Week 4 - 2022

 

Welcome to week 4 of the Heart of Christmas, this week I am going to bring you a fancy fold today because you know I can't help it. I have for you a double step fold card for you and it will fold up to go into our C6 envelopes. 

I have used the fun, Trees for Sale and the Fun Tree Lot Dies again for my card this week. They are just so much fun to use and I thought with this double step fun fold card the would work quite well.

I have made the card the same length as our normal cards in Mossy Meadow and then folded up the step for the bottom dimension and then after adding some of the gorgeous Boughs of Holly DSP I added the second step over the top to the side. The added some more of the gorgeous DSP to add all the tree depth that we would  need for this card.

For the  decoration on the card I have cut out the trees in Evening Evergreen and put Shaded spruce over the top of the base and this week I put in the tree trunks as I worked out which die that was (LOL!) I added some dimensionals to the ones on the steps. The string of lights I have stamped in Early Espresso and then coloured in with Dark Daffodil delight stampin Blends. I have strung that across the poles from front to back to give it a but more dimension. And of course we can't forget out wonderful caravan which this week I have used my favourite Blackberry bliss as the highlight colour.

As you can see just fold up carefully the bottom towards the top and your card fits perfectly into the envelope.  Hey don't forget to add some bling to your trees and for writing your Christmas message add a piece of Basic White to the back of the card and you are good to go.

Heart of Christmas - Week 1- Cascading Display Fun Fold

Welcome to the 2022 Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. We will be coming to you each Monday right up until the last week in November. This means you have lots of inspiration and lots of time to get all your Christmas cards, tags and gift ideas ready before the crazy busy month of December.

So for the first card I always like to do a fun fancy fold card and I found this design on Dawn's Stamping Thoughts and wanted to give it a try

It is a fun card and not hard and in honor our our team header for our Christmas Blog Hops this year I had to use  Trees For Sale stamp set and the Sale-A-Bration Tree Lot Dies!

It was really fun making this card. and the card base is not hard. 

Cut the base and all the panels and the mechanism and score. Simple right.

Score the base to look like this

Cut of the corners

Add the scored "z" mechanism to both sides then it is time to decorate!

So for the layers of DSP on my Card base of Crumb Cake I have used the gorgeous Boughs of Holly from the new July - Dec Mini. 2 different designs on the the doors of the cascading fold. I thought the one with the trees was perfect for this card and the other less ornate was perfect for me to add the die cut trees.

The Die Cut trees have a base of Evening evergreen and a layer of Shaded Spruce over the top and of course you need to bling up your trees with the Red and Green adhesive backed pearls.

The whole card folds down to fit into our C6 Envelopes and then cascades open to reveal ......

Our caravan scene.

I have slightly sponged the Very Vanilla card with pool party and crumb cake before adding the cutest caravan and the trees. The Greeting is from the Trees For Sale stamp set. I kind of like that soft sea foam door! Just saying!

Don't forget to add a place on the back of the card so you can write your message and add another tree while you are there. 

If you have any questions at all about this project or would like to get your hands on the new Jun-Dec Mini with all the Christmas goodies please do not hesitate to contact me.
