Fun Fold Driday - Joyful Flurry

My fun fold this week is one that I was recently asked to make for a class. This is a version of the one that is for the class but for now I have made a Bay Window fold card with the Joyful Flurry stamp set. I started with a White card base 29.7cm by 105cm and scored it in half at 14.85cm. Basically half a sheet of A4 cut in half lengthwise. Once scored in half, I scored from the outside edge at 0.8cm, 5.3cm, 9.6cm and 13.9cm. I know they are silly measurements but it just works out that way. I added tear and Tape adhesive tape on the narrow scored edge in the centre and gave the card a 'book fold'. I have used the lovely soft green of Soft Succulent card for the mats of 4 x 10cm, and the Designer Series Paper is from the Santa's Express papers at 3.6 by 9.6cm. it leaves just a tiny border around the paper. 

Using some of the White Glimmer paper again, I die cut some of the various snowflakes from the Frosted Flurry dies and added a few basic Rhinestones to add a little more sparkle. The band on the inside right of the card was adhered using Dimensionals so that the small lip on the front, slides under it to make the Bay Window.

 

Thank you for stopping by this week.

Throwback Thursday - Family & Friends

 The card today is another that I made a while ago. Using the Family and Friends stamp set and the Picture This dies, I die cut the circles from a piece of white card. I then used the Stitched Greenery die to add the leaf design to it. I added acetate on the inside of the mat and then added some of the foam adhesive strips around the edge of the circles. I die cut circles in DSP from the Santa Express papers and using some of the circles that I die cut and stamped the images and sentiment across them. Unfortunately, I used too many of the Effervescent Elements inside the circles! Another lesson learned! Don't use too many sprinkles! 

Once they were added, I placed the card base over the die cut mat with sprinkles in. I added a rim of Tombow Multipurpose glue to the tops of the circles so that I had a few moments to adjust it once it was added to the card base.  The card base is made from Shaded Spruce card. Inside, I added the strings of lights and another sentiment to complete it.
