DSP Fancy fold card

 I was really WOW'd when I saw this card for the first time. The base is one half of a piece of 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper(DSP) trimmed to 5 1/2" x 12". You score the long side at 2", 4", 8", and 10". Then you trim off the corners of each end and attach them to the front flaps at the bottom. Simple but very much a WOW! card.

Fancy Folds Class #1

 I recently held a Fancy Folds class where we created 4 cards and a Gift Card Holder.
It was a fun and interesting class. I will detail the cards we created over the next few posts.

 The first card is an Origami Diamond Fold card found here. We used DSP from the stacks I used the Red Glimmer paper and Whisper White to decorate the tabs

 Organza Whisper White ribbon was tied around the flap and Snowflakes from the Northern Frost strip and Rhinestones are on the mid fold while a Real Red button and 1/8th Taffeta Ribbon on the front.

Inside we stamped snowflakes from the Serene Snowflakes and the sentiment is from the Christmas Greetings set.

It is a card and envelope in one and very fun to do. We used the Simply Scored tool as well.

Keep checking back for the other cards.
