It’s Tuesday – shall we call it Terrific Tuesday? I sorta like that 🙂 Todays card is just that – terrific. This is a fun fold that is not new, but since I never made one, well, it was time. I’ve used the Tidings of Christmas 6×6 DSP and combined it with the Evergreen Elegance bundle which may be found in the Annual Catalog, page 91. This is such a fun and easy card to make.
How to make…do all your scoring first, then cut your papers and adhere.
Scoring
- begin with your card base 5 1/2 x 8 1/4, scored on the long side at 2 3/4 & 5 1/2. (mine is Cherry Cobbler)
- score the left panel from the upper left corner to the 1st score line on the diagonal
- score the right panel from the upper left corner of the 2nd score line to the bottom right corner
- burnish the score lines so they are mountain, valley, valley, mountain
Cutting your papers
- cut each card stock layer 2 5/8 x 5 3/8 (there will be 4, three in Soft Succulent, 1 in Basic White
- cut TWO of the Soft Succulent layers on the diagonal from the upper left corner to the lower right corner (the remaining piece will be the center panel)
- cut the Basic White panel from the upper right corner to the lower left corner
- cut a Basic White panel for the card center 2 1/2 x 5 1/4
- cut DSP layers 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 (I cut three coordinating panels)
- cut TWO DSP layers on the diagonal from the upper left corner to the lower right corner
- cut ONE DSP layer from the upper right corner to the lower left corner (this is my Soft Succulent DSP layer), there will be one of these left over
TIP: When cutting your DSP layers, if there is a definite direction to the design, make certain you are cutting it in the proper direction. 🙂
Next steps
- Stamp the center Basic White panel and add decoration
- The sentiment is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink using the Evergreen Elegance stamp set
- The trees at the bottom are punched using the Evergreen Border Punch, Soft Succulent card stock and Evening Evergreen card stock and adhered to the panel with liquid glue
- Adhere this panel to the center of the card
- Stamp the diagonally trimmed Basic White panel using Evening Evergreen ink and the smallest tree from the Evergreen Elegance stamp set: first full strength, then the two side trees without re-inking
- Adhere this Basic White panel as shown in photo
You are nearly done…
- Adhere the trimmed panels with liquid glue: layers are card stock then DSP!
- Stamp the sentiment for the front banner in Cherry Cobbler ink using the Evergreen Elegance stamp set – on a Basic White strip
- Cut the banner with this beautiful die using the Seasonal Labels Dies (this is in the Jul-Dec Mini Catalog on page 17 and is part of the Christmas Season bundle)
- Adhere the die cut sentiment banner to a piece of Soft Succulent card stock 1 1/8 x 4 1/4
- Close the card and adhere the banner with dimensionals on the left side only
- Add Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the banner and to the tree – voila! Beautiful, right?
This card will need a handmade envelope as the finished size is 5 1/2 x 6. I will include directions for the envelope in tomorrow’s post. 🙂

Below is some information about a Sales Tax Holiday for particular states
US SCHOOL SUPPLY SALES TAX HOLIDAY
Eleven states will be offering a sales tax holiday for school supplies during the months of July or August. Products that are eligible according to the statute include “items normally used by students in a standard classroom for educational purposes.” To see the names of participating states, products exempted from tax, and sales tax holiday dates, click here.
Please note that you must place your order with Stampin’ Up! during the tax holiday period in order to receive these items tax-free (which is midnight on the first day to midnight on the last day of the tax holiday). Also, keep in mind that this is a state sales tax holiday; the state statute may not apply to county, city, and special jurisdiction taxes.
If you have customers who live in states who benefit from the sales tax holiday (yay!), be sure to give them a call and let them know.
Note: Georgia, Louisiana, and Wisconsin have suspended the sales tax holiday for this year.
Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day. Inspire. Create. Share. Nothing beats a handmade card!
