3D Paper Trimmer November Blog Hop Christmas Is Coming Fast

It's time to hop along with the 3D Paper Trimmer November Blog Hop as we explore the theme "Christmas Is Coming Fast". It's hard to believe that we are approaching the end of November already and soon it will be time to celebrate Christmas. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas and projects to help you get ready for this wonderful time of the year.

Today I thought I would share this easy fun fold card design that is perfect for creating that Wow Christmas card quickly and simply. I combined the Don't Stop Believin' stamp set and the Tis The Season 6"x6" Designer Series Paper from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog to decorate this fancy fold card using traditional Christmas colors. The gold embossing adds that extra special touch that is perfect for taking your card to the next level.

Shaded Spruce Cardstock - For sentiment label

I discovered this wonderful fun fold card design on You Tube in a video created by fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Brenda Quintana. The secret to this card design is crisp fold lines that give the card its wonderful shape and allows it to stand up on its own. The side panels are decorated with the pieces of designer series paper and I heat embossed the Santa image from the Don't Stop Believin' stamp set with Gold Embossing Powder to make it pop against the Real Red cardstock. The sentiment label was cut with one of the Ornate Frames Dies from Shaded Spruce cardstock and I embellished it with two of the medium sized Gilded Gems. I love how the pretty Snowflake Splendor Ribbon adds the finishing touch to this card design. You can add a Whisper White cardstock panel to the back side of the card, in the center panel, for a place to write your Christmas message.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my fancy fold card design helps inspire you to create your own fun projects to help celebrate the holidays. There are so many wonderful options to choose from in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.
