Twelve Days of Christmas – Day 8

It’s Day Eight of my Twelve Days of Christmas tour, and we’re sticking with the snowy theme! Open today’s card and surprise… there’s a little card inside! This fun fold is so easy, you’ll find yourself making it again and again.

I paired Secret Sea, a deep, dark blue, with crisp white and two-tone paper for a wintry look.

For the left panel, I embossed Two-Tone Secret Sea cardstock with the Dreamy Snowflakes embossing folder. Then I lightly rubbed a sanding block over the raised snowflakes to reveal the cardstock’s white core. I love how the snowflakes pop against that deep, dark blue!

Here’s the fun part! The little card wraps around to the front, where it looks like a decorative panel. Open that panel and surprise… you’re looking at the inside of the card, with a spot for your holiday message!

Basic Cutting Directions:

• Card backing 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
• Card base – 6 1/8″ x 5 1/4″, score at 4″
• Small Card – 6″ x 4″, score at 3″

Use these measurements as a guide, then make the card your own with whatever cardstock and patterned papers you have on hand. This fold would be just as fun for a birthday as it is for Christmas!

Tomorrow one more fun fold before we move on to foiling!

Supplies:

Join me tomorrow for one more fun fold on Day Nine of my Twelve Days of Christmas tour. Then we’ll break out the foil and give our Christmas cards a little extra shine!

Happy Stamping!
