Gingerbread & Peppermint fun fold cards – easy to replicate!
Merry Christmas!! I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday.
We made this neat card at my December Card Clubs. I love the double Z fold design. And it makes great use of both card stock and designer paper!
I used the Gingerbread & Peppermint bundle for the stamps & dies. Unfortunately it's sold out already. And so is the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper. Retiring Holiday Catalog time is so hard!
But you can use this card layout with other designs and occasions. One thing I love about this card is that the inside accordion piece is perfectly sized to get 4 out of an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of card stock so it's great for mass producing.
Red card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2" Mossy Meadow 2 3/4" X 8 1/4" scored every 2 3/4" DSP 2 1/2" X 4" for front, two squares at 2 1/2" White 2 1/2" for inside greeting, scrap for die-cut label
The window frame is made with the Stitched Rectangle dies on a piece of White CS 4" X 5 1/4". The pretty die-cut leaf is from a new set of dies coming out in the 2022 Jan-June catalog called Tropical Layer dies.
I used White Craft ink with the Plenty of Pattern masks seen here & below. I did not use a sponge; I pressed the ink pad directly onto & through the mask on a separate piece of Pacific Point CS. You can watch how it's done in the video here. It's the first project.
I explain how it's done in the video here.Basically I laid the mask over my card stock and repeatedly pressed my Versamark ink pad directly over it. Then I heat embossed with Clear embossing powder & my heat tool. I love this effect!
The greeting is from the Artfully Layered stamp set in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog. It will be in a bundle with the Tropical Layer dies at 10% off.
After I created the embossed grid background layer I used a scalloped stitched rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies to die-cut a piece from the center. Then I adhered the outside piece to my Black layer and added the center piece on Stampin' Dimensionals. I wanted the Black to show a bit behind it.
The oval die-cut for the greeting is from the Beautiful Layers dies; also from the upcoming new catalog. Adding a 1/2" Black strip brings the Black outer layer forward a bit.
