Joyous Noel Fancy Fold Card

Here's a 'fancy fold' card for you today that is easy as pie to make.  Basically, it involves one extra score line.  Easy!

Do you see where the extra score / fold line comes into play?  It basically divides the front of the card in half and then it folds back on itself.  After that, the sky is the limit as to how you finish it out.  Punched pieces and die cut pieces work well here.

Tips for easy die cutting your foil snowflakes:
- Use the Big Shot Platform (along with the adapter plate).
- Place one cutting pad on top of it.  Use your smoothest one.
- Place your snowflake die (cutting side UP) on top of the pad.
- Place your foil piece (copper side down) on top of the die.
- Place your 2nd cutting pad on top of it all.
----- Tip:  If you have a well-worn die, place it on the top, to be cut into.  If it's against the copper side of the foil, it will leave marks on it.
- Run it through the Big Shot and go back and forth a few times.
- Use your die brush to remove any stuck/stubborn pieces.
- Admire your beautiful snowflake.
Tips for attaching die-cut snowflakes to your cards/projects:
- Make a puddle of Liquid Tombow on your Silicone Craft Sheet.
- Dip your sponge into the Liquid Tombow.
- Add Liquid Tombow onto the back of your snowflake using the sponge.
- Attach the snowflake to your card/project.
OR
- Attach a Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet (cut to size) to the back of your Copper Foil Sheet.
- Die cut the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet WITH your snowflake.
- Peel off backing and attach to your card/project.

Version 2 of Notepad Project and a Mini Tutorial

Today, I'm sharing a second version for a notepad project.  Enjoy!

Above:  the thin case, on top of the wide case.
Below:  the wide case holds 2 notepads, an RSVP pen, and a little memo book.

I bought the RSVP pens, the memo books and the notepads at Staples.  They cut down the notepads to fit the stamp cases.  I took a case with me, to be sure they were cut down enough.  The notepads look like miniature legal pads and the memo books look like miniature composition books.

Pen Tutorial:
- Unscrew the black end of the pen and remove the 'tube' of ink.
- Cut DSP to 3 1/2 X 1" and roll tightly into a tube.
- Insert the rolled DSP into the pen, reinsert the ink 'tube' and screw the end back onto it.
DSP Measurements for stamp case, notepad and memo books:
- Thin stamp case = 10 1/2 X 7"
- Wide stamp case = 11 1/4 X 7"
- Notepad topper = 5 X 2"
- Miniature composition book = 3 1/2 X 1"
Before slipping the DSP into the stamp case, decorate as you wish.  By adding the 'embellishments' directly to the DSP, it will be on the inside of your case, so you can carry the notepad case in your purse or brief case and it won't get dirty or torn.  Keep them flat --- no bumpy pieces to stick up and tear the cover on the stamp case.
