Joy To The World

Hi everyone, happy Thursday! Are you ready for the big man in the red suit? He’ll be here in a week’s time whether you’re ready or not, lol! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a fold out panel card featuring Solar White cardstock, our Lessebo Dawn Maroon and Stardream Metallic Aquamarine. I absolutely love a red and aqua color combo, and this turned out great. It’s been many years since I made this fun fold and I’m so glad I found my instructions. Now to decipher my handwriting. Bahahaha! Just kidding… I think I have this handled! :P

The fold out panel was cut from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White, the flat card base and smaller front panel were cut from Lessebo Dawn Maroon, and the larger front panel was cut from Stardream Metallic Aquamarine cardstock. I used coordinating prints from my Four Seasons and Everything In Between -2- paper pad from The Paper Studio. It’s a thick one and I’ve been using it for a number of years now and still have more than half of it left, lol! It’s one of my absolute favorites! I used the Love From Lizi Ornate Oval dies for the focal on the front along with the Cottage Cutz Mittens die for an inside embellishment. The sentiment stamp is also from Love From Lizi.

I cut the back panel from Solar White as well, and embellished it with paper and cardstock strips used on the front. And this sentiment stamp is from the same Love From Lizi stamp set. I embellished the mittens and back panel with Stampendous red Dot Sparklers. Fun, fun, fun… and now that I’ve found the instructions for this card, I’m sure you’ll see it again!
