Christmas in July card

Hello and I am so glad you stopped by to see how I made this super cute fun fold Christmas card that we made for my July Therapy Card Nite class.

In case you missed it, you can see how it is made.  We are using One Horse Open Sleigh DSP, which is so popular that it has sold out a few times but is now back in stock!!!  I am loving all the scenery pages that are in this pack.  Don't forget the other side that has designs too.  This card showcases the other side which is super awesome!

Here is it is when it is shut...

And when it is open you get to see the whole scene...

We use half a sheet of 8 1/2 X 11 cardstock.  We are using Lost Lagoon that is cut down to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2".  Then it is scored at 2 1/8" and then again at 4 1/4" and we Z fold it as shown below.

We take a sheet of 6X6 DSP and cut off  3/4" (here I cut it off the top to have more of the bottom scene) then we cut from left to right 2 3/4", 1 1/2" and then you are left with a 2 1/16' piece.

We also have a 1" X 5 1/2" coordinating piece of cardstock (something that matches a color in the DSP) that will go along the left side of the front of the card.  We also need a 2 X 5 1/4" of Basic White that we will use for the greeting on the inside of the card and then also cut 3 3/4" X 1" Basic White with a 4 X 1 1/4" Lost Lagoon layer for my sentiment.

Next is putting it all together.  Taking the 2 3/4" piece and attach it to the front flap leaving equal spacing along the edges.  Make sure you only tape/glue the flap.  As you see below you will have some hanging off.  Next add the 1 1/2" and space it along the folded edge of the middle of the card.  Then do the same on the other side of the folded edge with the 2 1/16" inch.  Next you will add the 2" greeting piece next to that.

I almost forgot the 1" piece of coordination cardstock that goes on the left front of the card.  As seen below.  I also stamped my greeting and layered that and added it to the front of the card.  Be sure that you only add tape/glue to the right side as to not have it stick to/attach to the left side of the card front so that it will open correctly.  Finally, I just added some jewels to the front to set it off!
