Hydrangeas

I've seen step fold cards before and decided it was time for me to figure out how to create them. I decided the easiest way was to start with two pieces of 8.5" x 5.5" paper. One I folded in half (the size of a notecard), the other I just did four more folds to create the two shorter peaks in front (I left a 1" tail in the back to attach the cards together. To attach them, I glued the back of the short card to the front of the long one. After that, it was just a matter of decorating it. Voila!

The hydrangeas are from the Stampin' Up "Because I Care" (hostess set) stamps, the inks and papers are Stampin' Up's Elegant Eggplant and Always Artichoke.

I made the following six cards using Stampin' Up's paper and their Pocket Silhouettes stamps, to be placed in a box (the seventh image), to be given as part of a Christmas gift.

Merry Christmas

I understand. Christmas comes after Thanksgiving. However, we all know that Christmas cards can be mailed the day after Thanksgiving (not that I have ever accomplished that). Any way, here are a few for inspiration.

























Let It Snow!
