AWH Heart of Christmas Week 17 - Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper



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

  1. 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.

  9. I 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.
