Heart of Christmas - Week 20

Hello everyone and welcome to Week 20 of the Heart of Christmas blog hop from members of the Art with Heart Stampin' Up! Team.

I have seen quite a few of these Fun-Fold cards on YouTube and Pinterest, so I thought I'd have a go at making one for my Wednesday Facebook LIVE last week.

And I love the result!

Even though the front of the card is lovely with all the bright, fun images of the DSP, and the sparkle from the gold glimmer paper, the real 'WOW' is on the inside!

How fun is this! It's a gift bag for a gift card inside a card!

I love the idea and I think it makes a very special gift at any time of the year for any happy occasion.

To reduce the thickness of the card when it's folded I used our regular weight Basic White card stock to make the bag. You could also make the bag in Designer Series Paper. I am loving using the Celebrate Everything (Host) 12" x 12" pack of DSP on my projects lately.

 

Just look at all the gorgeous gold glimmer!

It's so sparkly and compliments the pattern so well. I also added some gold Festive Pearls. The circles for the twine closure were created using a retired half inch circle punch.

To match the whimsical design of the DSP pattern I embossed a separate piece of Basic White card stock for the flap with the Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder from the Mini Catalogue. I used a Basic Borders die to create the stitched scalloped edges.

This Fun-Fold design works in either portrait or landscape orientation.

I can't pick a favourite. Can you?

That's it from me tonight everyone, thanks so much for stopping by on your way through our hop.
