Today I have one more card to share from my Gingerbread & Peppermint Suite stamping session. My last project, which I’ll share with you tomorrow, is a 3D one.
For this card I used an angled front technique, which is popular at the moment.
I started with a piece of Real Red card cut to 11-1/4″x 5-3/4″ and scored it along the long side at 3-3/4″ and 7-1/2″. To angle the top edges I measured down 1-1/2″ and used my Paper Trimmer to cut cut from the score line to the 1-1/2″ mark. The same was done for the bottom sides but only measured in 1″.
Then I cut the DSP to ensure there was a 1/16″ area of Real Red card framing it.
For the card insert I added a strip of DSP ensuring that, when the card is closed, no Basic White card can be seen.
I stamped the greeting, from the Frosted Gingerbread Stamp Set, in Cinnamon Cider ink on the same coloured card. Then I used one of the Pretty Pillow Box Dies to cut the greeting. A few Stampin’ Dimensionals were then used to pop it up on the left hand card panel.
Then I made a bellyband to hold the card closed by cutting a 1″ wide length of Real Red card and attached some white 1/2″ Faux Linen Ribbon to the card. After the band was wrapped and secured around the card I added some Real Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon and tied it off with a bow.
I die cut two of the coloured snowflakes and attached one to the bellyband and one to the front of the envelope.
This is a fun fold card technique that I’ll definitely be making again. What do you think? have you made this one before?
Until next time, happy stamping.
