We had Christmas in July Therapy Card Nite this month and this is the Christmas card that we made! I got this fun fold layout idea from Lisa Freeman (sorry I don't remember who she credited). I just thought these were so pretty and easy to make to boot!!!
We used a half a sheet of cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and scored it at 4 1/4 & 1 1/2 inches.
Here are all the pieces that are needed to complete the card. Base of card, I'm using Lost Lagoon, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, DSP see below, inside message layer 1 7/8 x 5 1/4", extra side front strip 1 x 5 1/4 and lastly the greeting which for me ended up being 3 3/4 x 1" of white layered on 3 7/8 x 1 1/8" of Lost Lagoon.
Our One Horse Open Sleigh DSP (designer series paper) comes in 6 x 6 sheets. You get 48 sheets total with 4 each of 12 designs. For this card you need to cut your DSP down to 6 x 5 1/4". Start by cutting off 3/4" (top piece) and then cut the rest down to (in order shown across) 2 3/4, 1 1/4, & 2".
Now all there is to do is assemble your card! Be sure to only tape the first piece (the one with the brown tree trunk) to only the folded back flap on the front of the card so that you can open the card all the way. See how the card looks when fully open.
I so enjoyed this card and so did the girls that when we do our Christmas Therapy Card Nite we will be using this fun fold again with other DSP from this paper pack.
Hope you enjoyed this card. Be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think!!!
