Wishing You . . . .
Happy Tuesday!!
I'm back today with another Christmas card to share with you! I've been dying to try one of these Tri-Fold cards - I've seen some beautiful examples in the galleries, and found some pretty easy directions on SCS. Unfortunately, I don't have any 12" x 12" CS, so I had to improvise and adjust the measurements for 8.5 x 11 CS. It took a little bit of refiguring, but all in all, pretty easy.
The focal image is a sentiment from a Hero Arts holiday sentiment set called Winter Messages. This clear stamp set is chock full of holiday card sentiments that are handy and timeless - perfect for your holiday card making. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and then embossed with white embossing powder. Then I stamped the Hero Arts Snowflake Circle cling stamp over the top of that in Versamark. I used my oval Classic and Scalloped Nestabilities to create the main panel. I added some self-adhesive pearls to finish off the main panel. Then I followed the SCS Tri-Fold Card tutorial - easy peasy!!
Here's a picture of what it looks like opened up. I'll definitely be making more of these Tri-Fold cards again in the future - tons of fun!

Love this Christmas card Karolyn, fab versamarked background to the sentiment! Tri-folds are easier than they look ,aren't they? You've got to admire the person who first thought up those cuts and folds though :).
Love how this turned out...aren't these a fun card to make?! Those DP are awesome and the backgroud stamp goes with it perfectly. Awesome card, my friend!
Am I paper trimmer "challenged" or what...I have not cut one piece of paper cleanly yet! And no, I am not using thick paper....arrghhhh!
Wow! This card is amazing! Can you teach me how to make a card like this? You did a fabulous job!!!!
