W is for W-V fold card - blue

  It's time for the 11th Annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge at Beccy's Place.

Day 26 - W

W is for W-V fold card

No, you're not seeing things, I shared two of W-V fold cards HERE

earlier ... they looked so pretty that I could not resist making more.

When Beccy (from Beccy’s Place) introduced us to the Jingle Bell digital stamp set, she generously shared a tutorial for a beautiful W-V-fold card.  I was inspired and I thoroughly enjoyed making some of these fancy folds too.  I used the design and dimensions shared by Beccy, then combined several elements from the Jingle Bell digital stamp set by Beccy’s Place.  The ones I used include the "Paper White" digital paper, the "Merry Little Christmas" digital sentiment and the "Bells with Bow and Pine", the "Bell Top Corner" and the "Bell Lower Corner" pre-coloured digital stamps.  There are so many images and sentiments in this delightful set that it's impossible to choose just one, so it was only fitting that I got to combine so many in this card design.  I created a second sentiment panel by combining two different fonts (details below) instead of having two image panels.  Two sets of card panels fit on a 12"x12" cardstock sheets, so of course I had to make two.  Once all the panels were set up, I printed the patterned paper and sentiment panels on white textured cardstock and cut them to size.  I cut the card bases, scored the folds and cut the other panels to size too.  Once all the pieces were ready, I adhered the layers, burnished the folds and was thrilled to have made two more of these lovely W-V-fold cards, Thank You Beccy.

This really is a fancy fold and is surprisingly easy to create.

The cards fold flat but are quite thick, so I plan on hand

delivering them to local letterboxes or giving in person.

   

Here are the two different colours together, they are so pretty.
