Friday, my time, marked the first day of the Christmas-themed Card Makers Success Summit, and what a lovely way to kick off the festive crafting season! I managed to watch a few of the presentations, but the first project I sat down to make was inspired by Erin Reed’s presentation.
Erin shared a fun fold she calls a Narrow Fun Fold, and I
really enjoyed trying it out. Her class included a digital printout with
patterned papers, poinsettia images, leaf clusters, and sentiments, but I
decided to put my own spin on the design using supplies from my stash.
For my version, I used patterned paper from a paper pack I already had, along with some pearlescent card for a little extra festive shine. I cut one kraft and one gold leaf cluster using Pinkfresh Studio Curvy Leaves, then created the poinsettia for the front of the card with the poinsettia and leaf dies from the Waffle Flower Poinsettia Frame die set.
The sentiment is from the Altenew Holiday Flower stamp set.
I white embossed it onto black card and cut it out with an Altenew Featured
Sentiment die, which gave it a crisp finish and helped it stand out beautifully
against the softer Christmas florals.
I’m so pleased with how this card turned out. It’s always
fun to take inspiration from a class and then make the project your own, and
this Narrow Fun Fold was a lovely way to start my summit crafting. I’m looking
forward to seeing what else the event inspires me to create! Day 2 wrap up email has just arrived so more inspiration to check out!
