Have you seen this week’s episode of Terrific Tuesdays? We’re focusing on holiday thank you card designs using several of the wonderful designer series paper packs offered by Stampin’ Up! I really love the suite of holiday papers offered this year and will be sad to see so many of them go in a few weeks, which is all the more reason to put them to good use as we send our thanks or maybe even some belated holiday hellos.
Today’s card features a twist on a simple diagonal fun fold and doubles as a one sheet wonder to boot. This horizontal design is built on a Basic White cardstock base, and the front panel of the card is halved on the diagonal. A single sheet of Winter Meadow designer series paper will cover all of the required areas in this design, and I selected the Winter Meadow blue evergreen paper pattern with the grey haze on the reverse side. One panel of the DSP is cut just short of standard size to allow for a narrow border around the card edge. This panel is halved on the diagonal with half of the sheet adhered to the front card panel and the other portion adhered to the inside card base on the portion that is exposed when the card is closed. I chose to use the grey hazy side of the paper for these portions.
Next, we work with the fold-over panel by cutting a sheet of white cardstock and scoring in the center. A piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock covers the front of the smaller white notecard and serves as the mat for the blue tree pattern of the Winter Meadow DSP. The patterned sheet is divided into equal sections and narrowly separated to create a grout effect. Use ribbon to make a band around the panel. You can layer ribbons to create different effects, like I did here to create a sparkly border on either side of the Misty Moonlight trim. The sentiment is cut from white cardstock using the Nested Essentials die and the sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight using the Zany Zoo stamps. A few white sequins provide a little extra sparkle and draw the eye diagonally across the design. This is such a fun and easy fun fold and can easily be adapted to any patterned paper.
