It's the last week of the Art with Heart, Heart of Christmas blog hop, I have not participated as much as I would have liked but wow these last few months have just flown by.
Welcome to the hop or you may have come from Tina Gillespie.
I have a very easy fun fold card for you today, not sure if it has a name, please let me know if it does.
You score your A5 piece of cardstock in half and then score at 1 1/2" from left hand side and fold this back toward the centre fold.
I have then cut 3 pieces of the gorgeous Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper.
- Red piece measures 1 1/4" x 5 11/16",
- Green leaves piece measures 2 1/2" x 5 11/16"
- Green holly leaves and berries measure 1 3/4" x 5 11/16".
Adhere the panels of DSP to the card as featured in the below photographs and then I stamped a sentiment in Real Red and then surrounded it with a Mossy Meadow border from Heartfelt Hexagon and punched it out with the matching punch. To add a little detail I then stamped the holly leaves from Christmas Classics in Black Memento and coloured them in the Light and Dark shades of Old Olive Blends.
Finally, I added a Real Red Happy New Year stamp in the inside of the card from Brightest Glow.
Stamp Set: Hope & Peace, Christmas Classics, Heartfelt Hexagon, Brightest Glow
Cardstock: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper
Ink: Real Red, Black Memento, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive
Accessories: Hexagon Punch, Cut 'n Emboss Machine, Christmas Classics Die

No idea what the fold is called, but it's gorgeous, and a great way to show off the DSP. The holly under the sentiment is a fabulous finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteI love those papers, and you've combined them beautifully, Kathryn. Beautiful choice of stamps, too. This fancy fold is great for showing off both the papers and stamps. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteGreat card to show these beautiful papers Kathryn!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what this fold is called but I love it! So simple and yet so effective - just perfect for showcasing DSP, Kathryn!
ReplyDeleteKathryn that’s a lovely card to showcase the different patterned papers. Love the fonts on those sentiments.
ReplyDeleteAren't these papers just gorgeous! I love this fold it is so versatile and shows off the beautiful DSP so well! Wonderful card and I love how you have added the sentiment! Thank you for joining in the Heart of Christmas this year!
ReplyDeleteThat sentiment looks lovely on the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch, Kathryn. A great fold to use those lovely strips of different patterned DSPs.
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous Kathryn. I love the fun fold and simplicity of DSP use with the focal label and some holly leaves. It tells together brilliantly. xxx
ReplyDeleteI can't help you with a name for the fold Kathryn, but I can tell you how lovely it looks. Such a lovely design that shows off different patterns of DSP on the one card. I could imagine having fun mass producing this card in lots of various DSP patterns.
