ICS September Blog Hop 2020 Mini Catalog Fun Fold

Welcome to the ICS September Blog Hop as we explore sharing Fun Fold card designs using products from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. You will be visiting with wonderful Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you to create your own amazing card designs.

For my fancy fold card design, I chose to use products from the amazing Snowflake Splendor Suite. I love the way all of these beautiful products coordinate together to make creating projects so much easier. For my card design, I chose to use the Snowflake Wishes Bundle (item #155172) combined with the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (item #153512) for a non-traditional frosty Christmas card.

Products Used:
Snowflake Wishes Bundle (item #155172)
Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (item #153512)
Winter Snow Embossing Folder (item #153577)
Blue Adhesive Backed Gems (item #153547)
Basic Rhinestones (item #144220)
Stitched Nested Label Dies (item #149638)
Silver Foil Sheets (item #132178)
Night of Navy cardstock (item #100867)
Seaside Spray cardstock (item #150883)
Whisper White cardstock (item #100730)

Measurements:
Night of Navy card base - 4 1/4' x 11" (Scored at 5 1/2")
Cut at 1 1/2" after the score mark on one side to create top flap
Cut 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece from remaining piece of Night of Navy for bottom piece
Snowflake Splendor DSP - 2 pieces 1 1/4" x 4"
Seaside Spray inside card layer - 4" x 5 1/4" (embossed with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder
Extra Seaside Spray, Whisper White and Night of Navy cardstock for die cut layers
Silver Foil to die cut snowflakes

This fancy fold is simple to assemble and the focal layer has been die cut using dies from the So Many Snowflakes Dies and Stitched Nested Labels Dies. I covered the back of the focal layer with a die cut layer of Seaside Spray cardstock that I embossed with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. The sentiments from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set have been heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder to coordinate with the Silver Foil die cut snowflakes. I used the Blue Adhesive Backed Gems to embellish the silver snowflakes and the small Basic Rhinestones to embellish the Night of Navy snowflake detail of the frame on the focal image. I used Tear & Tape Adhesive to attach the focal layer to the top flap and bottom layer of the card front. I wanted to make sure that I had a strong adhesive that would hold the card front together. I love how this card came together to create a sparkly Christmas design for someone special.
