Good Wednesday! I have a Christmas card for you today – my FIRST one. I haven’t made a Bay Window fun fold before and wanted to try it. You know what, it’s pretty durn easy!

Other products used were the Brightest Glow stamp set for the sentiments (inside & out) and it’s coordinating dies Labels Aglow Dies; Soft Shimmer paper in Night of Navy, Simply Elegant Trim in silver for the bow; and finally Little Dreamers Dies for the stars.

OK… let’s make this:

• Night of Navy for the card base 4 1/4 x 11, scored @ 1/4, 1 1/2, 3 1/4, 4 1/2 & 5 1/2. Burnish all score lines.
• Adhere together between the 4 1/2 & 5 1/2 score lines
• Cut end panels: Basic White 7/8 x 4 1/8 (2); Soft Shimmer in Night of Navy 3/4 x 4 (2). Add pieces together; adhere one of the panels to the left side only (this is section 1)
• Cut additional Basic White panels: 1 1/8 (sections 2 & 4), cut 2); 1 5/8 x 4 1/8 (center panel); 3 3/8 x 4 (inside panel). Add Basic White panels to sections 2, 3 (center) & 4
• Cut DSP 3 1/2 x 4 – noting pattern/ design/ scene! This pattern is really important. :O)
  • Cut this piece @ 1″, 1 1/2″ and at 1″again.
  • This allows the design to flow, to have a pattern, a scene
  • Adhere to Basic White panels, following the design of the DSP
• Adhere Mini dimensionals to the 1/4″ scored end, on the inside or backside.
• Add dimensionals to the remaining Basic White & Soft Shimmer piece (end panel) ONLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
  • Attach to far right end of card base
  • This allows the card front to ‘slip under’ the left side of this strip to ‘show’ the Bay Window Fun fold!

• Using the Brightest Glow stamp set and Blueberry Bushel ink, stamp the sentiment on a Basic White piece. Die cut with the Labels Aglow Dies. Attach dimensionals so it will attach ONLY TO THE CENTER FRONT PANEL!
• Add embellishments as desired: I used Simply Elegant Trim in silver to create a bow and attached with a glue dot. I also die cut a few stars using the Little Dreamers Dies & Soft Shimmer paper in Night of Navy.

For the inside: cut a piece of Blueberry Bushel card stock 3 1/2 x 4 1/8 and adhere to the inside. With Blueberry Bushel ink, stamp the sentiment on a piece of the Basic White (3 3/8 x 4). This sentiment comes from the Brightest Glow stamp set. Add die cut stars from the Little Dreamers Dies, cut from Soft Shimmer paper. Attach with dots of liquid glue.

For the envelope, more of the same Stargazing DSP on the flap, trimmed to fit. I can’t wait to see what you do this fun fold! Please do share with me.
