I love the simplicity of this design using a simple fold that I frequently forget about! I call it a "Barn Door" fold, as opens like a hinged barn door! This uses a piece of the scenic One Horse Open Sleigh DSP, the Horse & Sleigh in the Online Exclusives, and a simple cut in the card base!
Measurements:
- Misty Moonlight: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
- Basic White: 1 3/4" x 5 1/4", 2 1/2" x 5 1/2" (sleigh), scrap
- One Horse Open Sleigh DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (trees)
- Silver Foil: scrap
To Make This Card:
- Fold Misty Moonlight base in half. Then, cut 2 1/8" from top of card. (You are actually cutting the front in half). Cut to the fold with your trimmer, and then cut along the score line to the top of the card.
- Next, cut 1 7/8" from BOTTOM of DSP. Adhere this piece to front flap (barn door).
- On the inside, adhere the White strip to the inside bottom of the card.
- THEN, run the remaining DPS piece through the new Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder and attach this to the inside, top of the card base, overlapping the White piece.
- Your card base is now done!
- Now, stamp the Horse & Sleigh in Memento Black ink onto piece of White designated for the Sleigh. Color with Blends as shown, and die cut with corresponding die. Attach to card front, as shown, with the heads of the "people" and "horse" above the cut "door".
- Die cut "sleigh runners" from Silver Foil, and attach to "sleigh".
- Stamp sentiment in Misty Moonligh ink onto scrap of White. Fussy cut around the words! Attach to card front, as shown, with dimensionals.
- Finish by stamping coordinating sentiment inside in Misty Moonlight. I also added a couple Snowflakes with Silver Festive Pearl centers!
