Yesterday was Day 2 of the Card Makers Success Summit
yesterday and I enjoyed watching a number of the presentations. One of the
projects that really caught my eye was a fun fold card shared by Lisa from
Queen B Creations.
For the base, I used a piece of red card measuring 10 ¾” x 5
½”. This size works beautifully with a 6 x 6 sheet of patterned paper, which
makes it a great design for using up those smaller papers in your stash.
I found a quarter sheet of 12 x 12 patterned paper that was
just right for the front and inside panel. My Spellbinders Circle Nestabilities
were perfect for cutting the 3” circle from the front panel, along with the
white inner circle.
The focal image is an ornament stamp I rediscovered in my
Christmas stamp stash — a magazine freebie from years ago. I stamped it in
Catherine Pooler Eucalyptus ink, then added touches of gold with a Posca pen
and a few gold dots for extra sparkle.
The sentiment comes from the same stamp set as the ornaments
and is stamped onto a die-cut Simon Says Stamp banner. I love how the simple
banner shape keeps the focus on the ornament while still giving the card a
finished look.
This was such a fun card to make, and it was a great reminder to revisit older stamps and supplies. Sometimes a forgotten stamp, a scrap of patterned paper, and a little gold shimmer are all you need to create something festive and fresh.
