Week 5 of the Twelve Weeks of Christmas Projects
This beautiful suite is available from 2nd November to purchase until 3rd January. After that the stamp and die set will be available in the new January/June Catalogue. The DSP, cotton paper and gems are only available during the next two months.
The DSP is so beautiful in its shades of green with gold touches and either side of it is very adaptable.
For this card I decided to make a ‘book’ card. It is officially called a Book Binding Fold card! These are quite easy to make and look very effective.
I chose two different pieces of DSP for the spine and the front of the card and used the same as the spine DSP inside the card. Measurements and instructions are below.
I added some gold shimmer ribbon to the spine and gold embossing on the sentiment. The sentiment was cut using Scalloped Contour Dies and placed on the card using dimensionals. I added some gold foil leaves from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera pack for added interest and also some of the adhesive sequins from the same pack to the sentiment.
The base is Soft Succulent with a Basic white insert to write your message on.
