My holiday catalog preorder brightened my spirits a bit this week, so I made a couple of holiday projects for this week’s Facebook Live. The first was this simple fun fold which uses products from the upcoming Snowflake Splendor Suite.
The card base is a standard 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Misty Moonlight, but it is scored at 4 1/4″ and 7 1/4″ – the second score creates a fold to flip back the right edge of the card front.
The designer paper on the front measures 2 3/4″ x 5 1/4″, and the embossed strip measures 1″ x 5 1/4″.
If you are not ready for holiday projects, you can make this card with any of your favorite designer papers! I love it with papers from the Playing with Patterns designer paper collection. The big greeting is from “Rooted in Nature”.
My second project was a gift card holder, shown here in two prints from the ‘Tis the Season collection. The new Gift Bow Builder punch is going to be a great “go-to” for holiday projects, but I think this project would also be great as a birthday present.
The “lid” of the box pulls a gift card from the box bottom. I will add a YouTube video for this project soon, but in the meantime, click here for last night’s Facebook Live.
Dimensions are as follows…
- Shaded Spruce 5 1/2″ x 6″, scored at 3″ along the 6″ side. Also scored at 1/2″ from each edge along the 5 1/2″ side
- Shaded Spruce 5 1/2″ x 3″, scored at 1 1/2″ along the 3″ side. Also scored at 1/4″ from each edge along the 5 1/2″ side
- Shaded Spruce 4″ x 4 3/4″, scored at 1″ along the 4 3/4″ side
- Whisper White 2″ x 3 3/4″
- Designer Paper 2 7/8″ x 4 3/8″ and 1 3/8″ x 4 7/8″
