Stampin’ Up! Boughs of Holly Merry Christmas
The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Boughs of Holly stamp set along with the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder.
I am entering the Krafty Chicks Challenge as their theme for this challenge is Christmas.
I am also entering the Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge.
Start with a Cherry Cobbler card stock card base, cut 4-1/4″ x 9-1/2″. Score at 1″ & 2″ on each end. See diagram above.
Using paper snips, clip from the edge of the score line to the cut you made at the 1/2″ line. Fold and score each end of the card base. One will be a mountain fold the other a valley fold.
Cut 2 pieces 3″ x 3-1/8″. Score at 1″ and 2″ Fold this as mountain and valley. This is the hinge that adheres to the card base on each end that the Designer Series Paper panels fit on.
Lisa Curcio gives a great tutorial video on YouTube for this card. You can view it for more instructions.
These are the pieces that create the accordion. These are pieces that are cut for another card. I forgot to take a picture of the pieces cut for this card, but they are the same sizes.
This is how the card looks once all the panels are adhered. A panel of Evening Evergreen card stock is the mat for the Basic White card stock panel with the Real Red Merry Christmas stamped on it using Real Red ink.
This is the back of the card with a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Hope & Peace stamp set. It is stamped in Real Red ink on the Basic White card stock panel. A poinsettia is fussy cut from a piece of Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper and popped on the Basic White card stock square.
A strip of Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper is cut to create the belly band. It is embossed using the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder. A piece of Basic White card stock is cropped using a square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. The piece is matted on a square of Evening Evergreen card stock. A Red Rhinestone Basic Jewel is popped on the corner of the Basic White square.
The belly band is then slid over the folder card.
This is how the card looks without the belly band.
A panel of Boughs of Holly Designer Series paper is adhered to a Basic White Medium Envelope flap.
