SUE ALLEN SIMPLY CRAFT: CHRISTMAS IS COMING 3

I do love fun folds, they look so complicated yet are usually so easy. One of my favourites is the book fold.

Again, my card today is showing off the DSP , this time I am using the Painted Christmas DSP, I wasn’t sure about this pack at first but now I love it, it’s amazing how when you first see something you can’t really see its potential then boy do you have a change of heart.

As I used the acorn pattern paper, I decided to stamp an acorn on the inside of the card.

Using Early Espresso Ink stamp a sentiment onto the Very Vanilla piece that is being used on the inside of the card, the acorn I stamped in the corner is from the Christmas Season Stamp Set, this is a two step stamp, I used Crumb Cake ink then Early Espresso on the overlay, set aside
Using Early Espresso Ink stamp a sentiment for the front of the card on the scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut, set aside

Attach the respective DSP to the Early Espresso cardstocks, set aside

Fold the card base in half and burnish,

Attached the 1 3/8” x 4” piece to the left side, centereng it between the fold and the next score line

Wrap ribbon around card, I added the bow separately using a glue dot

Carefully add glue to the side strip and secure it down to create the book fold

Attach the 4” x 4” piece to the righthand side of the front

Using dimensions add sentiment

Finish off adding Gilden Gems
