I made this card for Lisa's (Shoe Girl) Ways To Use It Challenge, WT604. Lisa asked to see some "fancy fold" cards. I think this challenge is a great one as I agree with her about getting in a rut and using the same most common folds regularly. Thanks, Lisa, for the challenge; I enjoyed it.
This card fold is a Diamond Fold Card. Its size is 4" x 11" and it has 12 folds. I used Stampin' Up!'s "This Christmas Specialty DSP" on the far left and right of the card. For the middle folds, I used the Stampin' Up! Holly Embossing Folder to emboss Garden Green Card Stock. I cut the necessary sections and adhered them to 10 sections of the card. The main element of the card is the lantern and holly that I made with the CottageCutz Lantern w/ Holly Vine Die. The card was time consuming but fun!
Thanks for viewing and leaving comments!!
Hugs Sweet Friends,
Bev

Oh wow Bev, this looks fabulous. I tried this fold and it looked like an origami dead duck. Someone's mantle piece is going to look spectacular this Christmas!!

I love that this makes me think of a Christmas cracker in some ways, making it doubly perfect. Wonderful papers and great work with all the layering details, Bev.
