Be Inspired - Feeling Festive

Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop

Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the November Be Inspired Blog Hop where we are focusing on projects using Feeling Festive in some way. However you have arrived here, whether from Annette Elias or directly here, I so appreciate that you are here.

I saw this fold created recently by Sue Campfield, a US Demonstrator. Sue created this fold for her November Crafternoon and I just had to give it a go. I converted the dimensions to suit A4 card-stock and as the card developed I made some other changes as well. This card features the gorgeous Traditions of Christmas Speciality Designer Series Paper.

Sue called this Fancy Fold the Tuck and Pop card as the left flap of the card tucks in when the card is closed, but when it opens two panels inside the card pop up.

Some of the panels were decorated with pieces of Basic White card-stock that had been embossed with the Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder. I love this EF so much. Two different designs of the Traditions of Christmas SDSP were used to cover some of the panels. Some coordinating Traditional Sparkling Sequins added some beautiful glimmer.

As the front and inside of the card display beauty a panel needed to be added to the back of the card for writing a personal message.

To open the card, you just need to slip the belly band off.

The belly band is a strip of Basic White card-stock and the gorgeous Real Red Shiny ribbon was tied around the band ending in a bow. A couple of die cut Basic White pine fronds and gold holly leaves were tucked under a sentiment and die cut label from the Traditional Labels bundle.

Here is the card opened. It could easily stand open for display like this.

Thank you so much for dropping in on your way around the Be Inspired Blog Hop. I so appreciate you.
