It's that time of year again . . .
we all need to get our Christmas cards sorted and
what better way to do it than playing along with the
at
The prompt from Day 30 is to "Do what we love"
I love to make CAS (Clean And Simple) cards,
interactive cards and cards with fancy folds.
interactive cards and cards with fancy folds.
I made some more CAS cards and another with fancy folds,
now it's time for some more interactive cards.
I made my very first X-fold card the other day (HERE)
They're a fancy fold that is also interactive, as you can get the snowflake to swirl and twirl with the lightest tap or puff of air. Today I decided that I needed some more of these pretties, along with some more sentiments.
I combined two different cut files (details linked below), one for the X-card base and matting layers, one for the layered snowflake. I opened my Silhouette Studio mat, sized the layered snowflake to fit inside the "window", added sentiments to the banners, then used my Cameo to cut all the layers from textured cardstock. I used liquid adhesive to secure the snowflake layers together, adding a strand of metallic twine in each one, then adhered the X panels together, placing the snowflake/twine just before the final layers were pushed together.
And here is my pretty pastel flurry of snowflakes on display.
Here is one that is sending Warm Winter Wishes.

Oh wow!! These are fabulous Tracy, what a beautiful rainbow of colours! I just realised that I don't have X-fold cards on my list... I'll soon be fixing that. These are just wonderful, and boy are they going to impress the recipients!
