I know a lot of people just love fun folds. These folds usually intimidate me, but this one was actually crazy easy. It's called a Triple Fold, and SCS has a tutorial as part of their Falliday Fest.
It's also a good way to use up snippets, tecuase the two panels on the right only need about an inch to 1.5 inch wide strips of paper on top of the folded cardstock. There's also an inch-wide belly band, which is another good use for snippets.
I used snippets from a 6x6 pad of Christmas card stock where the dominant color is pink -- and don't ask why I bought pink Christmas paper because I'm not sure. (Some of the patterns are non-Christmasy, such as polka dots, so maybe I was thinking it would be multipurpose?) The pad also has a sheet of coordinating sentiments, and I used one on pop-dots for the center of this card.

ReplyDeleteGreat card Sandy! I love the unusual fold - and in my opinion there isn't enough pink Christmas paper around (it's my favourite colour).
