TRADITIONS OF CHRISTMAS FUN FOLD

Rather than featuring a particular product this week, I've decided to share Fun Fold Cards.  I love making fun folds.  They are always a great way to show off pretty Designer Series Paper (DSP).

And the DSP, Traditions of Christmas, on today's cards is one of my favorites this Christmas.  I'm hooked and can't stop finding new ways to use it.

I received a card from a fellow demonstrator a while back that used this particular fun fold.  I'm not sure what its "official" name is or even if it has a name, so I'm going to call it an Interweave Fun Fold.

The card is basically made from two cards -- a larger card and a smaller card that Interweave with each other when they are closed.  The larger portion is made of DSP so is great to show off both sides of pretty paper.  One my card you can see the Secret Sea pattern from one side and the red and pink poinsettias with pool party gold foiling on the opposite side.

The small card is a complete card in itself that is adhered to the large card front and interweaves with the DSP card.

I decorated the front of the small card with a Sentimental Framing die cut from Brushed Gold Foil.  The floral bouquet was die cut from the Traditions of Christmas DSP.

When you open the small card and then the DSP card, this is what you see.

You could mount this interweave card to a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" piece of cardstock and call it good.  But I wanted a little more space to write my Christmas message, so I adhered it to the front of the standard Cherry Cobbler A2 card base.  

Much of this card was made with "leftovers" from other cards so that made it quick and easy.

The Gold Foil Sentimental Frame was a die cut I had in my stash.  When I use foil, or other more pricey cardstock I try to stretch it as far as I can, so I had die cut this from the center of a foil mat.  I have several of these "leftover" die cut flower bouquets because when I received this Traditions of Christmas I die cut all of these images from the paper.  The sentiment on the inside was also a "leftover" from another card. 

It's kind of like leftovers from Thanksgiving Dinner.  They are still good and sometimes they are even better the 2nd day!  These paper leftovers were great because they made making this card very quick to put together.
