2020-12-22; Christmas side fold

A couple of weeks ago I watched the SplitCoastStampers side fold tutorial (Link will be below for your convenience). I was lacking for a card design so I thought I would see what I could do to recreate the card with supplies I have on hand. I think it turned out pretty close.

Here is a close look at the sentiment by Waltzing Mouse. I picked up the acrylic set at a rummage sale a couple of years ago. I stamped a bunch of the sentiments and then had the Scan-n-Cut cut them all out along with a mat. That would explain why there have been a number of cards lately that have this same sentiment 😉

Take a look at the pine cones. I didn’t have any dies that looked like ones in the sample. I do have a bunch of Cricut cartridges so I looked through those and only found 2 to choose from. This particular one came from the cartridge Give a Hoot and is cut at 1.25″ & 1.75″. The pine branches are dies by Impression Obsession and Memory Box. There is also a stitched circle die in the background; this is a no-brand die.

And one more look at the card before you go on about your day….

What do you think of the recreation? Did I come pretty close in your opinion?

I entered this card into the challenge at Bitten by the Bug 2; “A Die-lirious Holiday Season“  I used Cricut cuts, die cuts and the scan-n-cut to cut elements for this design. And they are partnered for this challenge over at Double Trouble. I also added both of the twists…a twine bow and patterned papers.

Thanks for stopping by.
