Good Morning everyone
Those of you in the UK, I hope you survived the storm ok, we were ok here other than lost the electric for a couple of hours but a few trees down on the farm and part of one of the barn roofs gone and my other brother who lives closer to Devon is still without electric...it did wake up a few hedgehogs who came out for a snack.
Today im sharing a batch of Christmas cards using the fancy fold called 'pop out book' Ive used these gorgeous papers from 12x12 paper pads from the works.
I think this is the last of my Christmas cards for this year.
Card size 6x5.5" I made the outside of the card from red card and the inside from white, the red then shows through inside and picks up on the red in the paper. For the front I simply matted the paper onto white and then the red base. Sentiment die cut from white and mat and layered.
After making the pop up element i matted with a lovely soft blue snow paper oh the outside edges and a darker blue paper for the 'book' papers. I added strips of the paper i used on the front to the sides of the book pop out and the outer edge.
I die cut old deer dies from white card, tore the edge of white card for some snow and built the little scene on the book pop out. I added a little touch of red stickles to the bigger deers nose and some star dust stickles to the snow for a little festive sparkle to finish.
Just showing the pop out side on, this card also stands open nicely on its own to display which is always a bonus with some fancy folds.
Version 2. I used dark teal card for the front and matted the front paper onto silver satin card and added a hanging star die cut from white and the silver satin which really shines when the light hits it.
Version 3 - the front is matted onto a dark teal glitter card which is super sparkly
Version 4 - I made the base from navy blue card not black as it looks in the photo, used silver glitter card for the front mat layer. This time i built a little tree scene die cut from white and silver glitter card
On the back of each card i put a place to write the greeting, this is a computer generated sentiment
I used this Pop out book card (queenbcreations) step by step just adjusted the size to fit a 6x6 card
