Welcome again to our monthly blog hop and this month we are all featuring a fancy fold card. You will love all the cards from my very talented teammates! Just click on the pictures below and this will take you to their blog.
I have been showing how to make some simple cards on my Facebook Lives and on Monday showed how to make a simple card and turn it into a fancy fold. The card above is a simple card with a piece of Designer Series Paper that measures 4 X 5 1/4". To make it into a fancy fold you score the card at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" and then you fold it. You have to put a piece of paper to stop the fold at the bottom so I cut a 1 1/4" piece of glitter paper I had left from Sale-a-bration and then I punched a row of trees to make it look a little nicer.
I decided that adding a snowflake to the top and using the three little trees which were leftover from the bottom of the card would make the card prettier. I put some Wink of Stella on the the three trees but it was hard to get it to show up in the photo.
1. Cut cardstock 11" by 8 1/2".
2. Score at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2 ".
3. Cut a piece of Designer Series Paper 4 by 5 1/4" , fold it in half and adhere to card.
4. Cut a piece of cardstock or glitter paper 1 1/4". You can just glue it down or you can put pop up dots underneath to make it a little higher.
5. Decorate your card to match your DSP!

What a great card, Shanda! I like how you used the decorated glitter paper as a stopper at the bottom!
