Flip Flap Twinkling Lights Snowflake

This Clean & Simple card utilizes the snowflake from the Twinkling Lights Dies. I love the pierced effect it creates, and the Distressed Gold paper is just gorgeous from it! Finish the card with the now, retired Lights Aglow DSP, and you have an awesome card!

Measurements: :

Basic Black: 1/2 sheet, 3 1/4' Square
Lights Aglow (ret): 2 3/4" x 5 1/4", 1 3/8" x 5 1/4" (black stars), 3" square (black "bokeh")
Very Vanilla: 2 5/8" x 5 1/4"
Distressed Gold paper: 3 1/4" square

To Make This Card:

Fold Basic Black card base in half. Trim 1 1/4" from front flap. Set aside, you will be using this piece for the "arm".
Attach largest DSP piece to front of card.
Attach Black "bokeh" DSP piece to Black square.
Die cut "snowflake" from Distressed Gold paper. Attach to square with Dimensionals.
Now, take the strip you removed and trim, if desired or leave it full, to 4". Score 3 1/2" from one end. Crease well.
Attach this "arm" to strip of DSP, score line even with cut edge of DSP, and attach to card as shown.
Fold "arm" into place over front of card. Center "square" with "snowflake" into place, and attach to "arm".
Finish by adding Vanilla piece to inside, and Gold Gilded Gems to Snowflake.

Christmas Lights Tree Fun Fold

I've had this beautiful bundle since August, and it's time to use it!! The stamp designer shared with the Incentive Trip Achievers how she designed these detailed stamps...on her computer. Truly amazing! The DSP is absolutely gorgeous, and has been in and out of availability! (It IS available at the moment!) I saw this fun, simple fold and decided to give it a try. If you look closely there is Gold Glimmer paper behind the holes in the tree! So many possibilities, from Christmas to Winter!

Measurements: :

Evening Evergreen: 1/2 sheet
Lights Aglow (N): 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" (bokeh); 1" x 5 1/4", 1/2" x 4" (gold scallop)
Very Vanilla: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 2 3/4" x 4 3/8" (tree)
Gold Glimmer (N): 2 3/4" x 4 3/8" (tree), scraps (stars)

To Make This Card:

Score card at 3" from one end. Turn and score at 1 1/4" from the other end. Crease well with bone folder. It should meet!
Attach DSP to corresponding flaps.
Add Vanilla quarter to inside. Add strip of DSP to the bottom.
Die cut "fancy tree" from Vanilla piece. You will need to use BOTH the "fancy tree" and the "tree outline" to make this tree!
Die cut "tree outline" from Gold Glimmer paper.
Adhere these 2 pieces together with Multipurpose Glue! (Yea, it works best!)
Attach to left, larger flap.
Die cut 2 "stars" from scraps of Gold Glimmer paper. Attach one to "tree" and one to inside of card.
Finish with Clear Rhinestone on the "star" and scattered around on the DSP, and "green" pearls from the Festive Pearls.
