This time of year offers opportunities for a variety of card themes.  It is hard to believe that we will be making Christmas cards soon, or even now!  I have a little Fun Fold card to share with you today.

 

Stampin' Up!, Holly Berry Bundle, Santa Express, Real Red, Opal Dots, Jackie Beers

 

Stamps and Dies

These fun holly leaves and berries are from the Leaves of Holly Bundle which includes the stamp and Holly Berry Dies.  There are solid leaves plus the open ones that I have used that are awesome layered together.  The berries, if you can see up close, are actually layered.  Sweet Sorbet and Poppy Parade were layered to show the shading.

The sentiment and it’s layer are from the Bundle also.  To have the little ticket like notches on the corners of that layer adds great detail as opposed to a straight strip.

Papers and Finishes

The DSP was the consideration for the specific greens and reds chosen.  It is from the Santa Express Designer Series Paper.  Shaded Spruce was pulled from the paper for the card base and the holly leaves.  The layer of White, along with the White sentiment layer helps to make others pop against that darker background.

The real red ribbon is from the Red and Green combo pack.  It is very easy to work with for tying bows, which I love.  To give a touch of sparkle, I added an Opal Dot from the 2021-2023 Opal Dots.

Fold

This card is a little bit narrower than a normal card due to the fold.  Here is a look at the open card.

 

To make the angle pocket on the inside required a 10 3/4 length of cardstock and then divide that into thirds. So it had no choice but to be a little smaller.  That is not a problem for me and hopefully not for you either.  The card begins with 10 3/4 X 5 1/2 and is scored at 3 5/8 and 7 1/4.  On the far right section, cut from the score line down to the outer bottom corner.  When folded inside, it creates the little pocket.  Only place a small amount of glue at the bottom of the pocket to leave room for the insert.  Plus, a gift card will fit there as well!  That is a win in my book.

The inside DSP is the reverse of the front piece.  It is cut 3 X 4 7/8 and cut on the diagonal.  When making the diagonal cut, have your preferred side up.  Cut from top right to bottom left.  The inside White layer is 3 1/4 X 5.
