A neat Tower card with video & free project sheet with Peaceful Garden

I just love this fun fold ‘tower’ card layout! It gives you lots of opportunities to feature your designer paper.

Save

I featured the Peace on Earth bundle and the Modern Garden designer paper. The colors include White, Secret Sea and Silver. The Peace on Earth bundle was a ‘must have’ for me because of the pretty greetings and layering die-cuts. I like that the greetings include more than just Christmas making it quite versatile.

This Tower card fun fold is made with a 11″ X 4 1/4″ piece of card stock but scored 5 times across the long edge. Then you simply adhere the ends together and allow the other end to open. Genius!

Note how the center panel swivels a bit…. I stamped one card with a holiday greeting and the other with a sympathy greeting. You can see the back side of the Holiday card here. I pulled out a Paper Pumpkin stamp set to fit.

I love the textured embossing on the left White panel. That is from the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder seen here. I used just the side of this folder to achieve the textured edge.

I created a free project sheet for this card; simply click on this link to print or download it.

Here’s the tip on how the front panel swivels a bit on the fold. So easy to achieve!

It’s two strips of card stock about 1/2″ wide and 1″ long folded in half. Each half is adhered with the fold on the main card fold.

Below is the video tutorial for this card, another pretty Christmas card and a candy bar treat holder.

  She cut the treat box dies into separate pieces (Garden Green & Vanilla) for her card front.  It also opens up to reveal a gift card holder inside. Lots of texture with the Winter Snow embossing folder too!

  I like the tag with the pretty Metallic Mesh ribbon.  That ribbon is so soft and it's in 1 1/2" wide but can easily be cut in sections without fraying!

• Christmas Cards kit to go; all Fun-fold cards! Opt in by the 20th!

  October 8, 2020

  ---

  Yesterday I shared the Plaid Tidings cards kit and today I'm sharing my 2nd cards kit to go (I cannot seem to do just one; there's too many fabulous products!).

  I chose to feature the Heartwarming Hugs designer series paper seen below.  It includes a variety of tiny patterns of plaid, stripes, dots, and more in traditional Red's and Green's. I especially like the gingham and stripes.  Oh and the polka dots too!

  Look at these cards!  Each one is a unique fun-fold card which is a delight for the recipient.  They're creative & fun but not too difficult for a non-stamper to figure out either.  They include latch folds, pocket, flip, easel cards & more!

  This pre-cut kit includes $20 in current Stampin' Up! product, all for just $28! Yes; you're getting the 10 cards for just a few dollars when you add in tax & shipping. 

  In your kit to go you'll receive:

  • 1/2 package of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (6" X 12")
  • 3/8" Red double stitched satin ribbon
  • Red Rhinestone jewels
  • the free pdf tutorial for all 10 cards (valued at $15)

  This pdf written tutorial is available separately at my Tutorial shop here.  It includes step by step directions, measurements, a supplies list and photos.  

  I used the Wrapped in Christmas stamp set on all 10 cards; it's a fabulous holiday set and coordinates with the Warm Wrap dies.
