Have you noticed the adorable fall sets and earthy “Into the Woods” suite in the Holiday Catalog? So much goodness packed into only four pages (p 42-45)!
These two cards are Joy Fold cards, meaning that they have flaps that open from both sides. Terri Meehan showed us how to simplify this card type at our Team Meeting this weekend. The trick is to use our precut and scored note cards. The end view below gives a better idea of how these cards are constructed.
The Mossy Meadow piece measures 6 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 2 1/4″ along the 6 1/2″ dimension. The resulting card base is a standard 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. The designer paper piece measures 2″ x 5 1/4″.
The Whisper White piece is one of our notecards, trimmed a bit. The part of the note card that makes up the front of this card is 1/4″ narrower than the standard 3 1/2″ x 5″ notecard. I simply trimmed 1/4″ off one end of the card, and attached it to the base as shown, with the narrower half on top. The embossed Crumb Cake piece measures 3″ x 4 3/4″.
Terri’s card (on the left) uses “Thankful Forest Friends” with a Crumb Cake note card. My team made the version on the right last night using “Acorny Thank You” and a Whisper White note card. That beautiful background for the acorn is a 2 1/2″ circle that was punched out of the designer paper, so of course, it coordinates beautifully!
Thanks for looking! Have a great day!
