Fun Fold Christmas Card

Happy Thursday, peeps! I was scrolling through my favorite bloggers' posts and came across a really sweet fun fold card from Michelle Last.  (You can see her video HERE or her blog post HERE.) I decided to use the Nests of Winter DSP and the Peaceful Season bundle.  So here we go:


There is a bit of an accordian-style fold on the inside and the front is scored and trimmed to the three panels.  I fussy-cut the birds and added the diecut and stamped sentiments outside and in:


I finished it off with some red ribbon and another little bird on the inside.  This was actually the second card I made; here's the first one I made; I haven't added the sentiment yet:


This time I used the dies to cut out the birds, and used a different sentiment and Cherry Cobbler ribbon.  It's not hard to figure out the panels once you do it a couple of times!  I am not quite sure why I used Moody Mauve for my card base, I must have thought the berries would match or something...I'll try it again with another shade, LOL!

Since this is a fun fold, I am going to enter this at Debbie's Creative Creases #94 Challenge!

Thanks so much for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

The Winterberry bushes I see from my studio are alive with all the birds stopping by for a berry or three, LeAnne! Your cards brought that scene back to me this morning - so beautiful!

I saw Michelle's post too - that first card is my favourite! Great job LeAnne (I still think I NEED that Christmas die, even though I've been trying to resist!)
