Book Binding Card with a Twist + Video

 I have only ever seen one sample that changes the direction of the Book Binding orientation. (I guess that's what you'd call it!) So, of course, I had to give it a go.  This is an "original" design, and I LOVE it!  It is so much prettier in person!




Measurements:  

  • Basic Gray: 1/2 sheet 
  • Basic White: 3" x 5 1/4"
  • Peaceful Place DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (white & silver tree border)(will selectively trim), 7/8" x 5 1/4" (snowflakes)
  • Silver Foil: 2 1/4" x 3 3/4"

To Make This Card:

  • Fold Soft Succulent card base in half.  Score at 1" rom fold, front side only.  Crease the front back well. Place adhesive under this 1 1/4" and glue front and back together.
  • Attach "snowflakes "DSP strip to this.
  • Emboss "sketchy tree" from the Whimsical Trees in silver embossing powder onto silver foil.  This technique is absolutely gorgeous!!  Cut out with corresponding die.
  • Determine where you would like to place your trees on the "tree border" DSP piece that you've cut. Trim this piece so it measures 3"
  • Attach DSP to card front.  Stamp sentiment in Black along white "border". 
  • Attach "tree" to front with Dimensionals.
  • Add a White Glitter bow to the top of the tree.
  • Decorate the tree with Rhinestones.
  • Finish by cutting 2 "tall, skinny" trees from Silver Foil, and adding them to the inside of your card.
