Hello fellow stampers! Welcome to week 13 of the Heart of Christmas Stampin’ Up! blog hop for 2023! Each week until 27 November the Art With Heart team will showcase Christmas cards and projects to inspire you to create your own.
My card for this week is a ‘Book-fold’ fancy fold card using the Winter Meadow DSP. I’ve gone for a wintry theme with silver and blue colour palette and playing with the Wishes All Around stamp and die bundle from Stampin’ Up! 2023 September-December mini catalogue.
My Basic White card base was scored in half and then scored 3cm from the centre score to create the ‘book fold’. The shiny Snowflake Magic Specialty paper was cut to size and adhered to Pretty Peacock mat card stock and then onto each panel.
The gorgeous snowflake wreath was die cut with a matching die using Pretty Peacock Soft Shimmer Specialty paper. It’s a bit difficult to see in the daytime but this paper does twinkle under artificial lights. The sentiment from the Wishes all Around stamp set is stamped using Pretty Peacock ink onto printed paper with a watercoloured effect. The sentiment was then die cut with a circle die from the Stylish Shapes die set. This circle size fits perfectly with the snowflake wreath!
Before adhering the smaller panel to the base I tied some ribbon around the panel using Silver & White Sheer ribbon and Silver Trim.
The sentiment inside the card is from the More Wishes stamp set and stamped onto DSP which still allows you to write a message over the water coloured print. The beautiful shiny blue paper with white stars is adhered to the bottom. The snowflakes have been die cut - there are three single dies in this set which allows you to die cut a few at the same time!
