Unstampabelle's Challenge #106 is Believe!

 I have started the Christmas card rush! There are only oh, about 99 to go.....

I made this card for the Unstampabelle's Challenge#106. 

The theme is BELIEVE

There is a TWIST......to use a fancy fold

AND I remembered it!

I started with some die cuts - the trees and reindeer; 
Then I started to wonder what my background would be - and went to this DP from Stampin' Up

It has a very Aurora lights vibe

Once I had positioned the die cuts I added the Kaiser rub-on

I mounted the all this onto some black card

I then folded my fancy fold in Whisper White thick card (SU) - not sure what it is called but I did it by eye so it is pretty easy

A Valley fold, perhaps?

I added some more of the DP onto the back panel and then added a star sticker

(glued on only half way down)

The star became the stopper for the front piece, which hooked under it nicely

It stands like this

The star is glued to card to make it sturdy and then I fancy cut this out and 

glued only the top bit to the back panel

A nice bright card for Christmas!

You have five days to enter!

She Believed....Challenge#106 at Unstampabelles

 Hi Peeps....

Hope all is well with you and yours. Keep safe - wear a mask, socially distance and stay away from crowds......

Over at Unstampabelles the challenge is to make a piece using the theme 'Believe'

and with the TWIST of an unusual fold.

I chose the Gatefold fold - there are lots of tutorials for this

Here is the fold - I used the American measurement in inches. so it is a bit smaller than usual

I forgot  to photograph for a bit... and then my camera ran out of battery, so it is a bit hit and miss, but I added some DP to the outside folds and centre

Then I cut a piece of DP and added my Dylusions image to it, before cutting the image into three. Then I mounted it again onto some more card, and sliced between the three pieces to create a separate mount for each.

HINT: add top and bottom before adding the middle

Top and bottom go on the left side

Middle piece goes on the right side

When the card is flat the image is reassembled

then I added some bling, rubons (Kaiser) and a chip of sentiment

I had to peg it shut to cut the strip clean

I doodled on the white strip to make it match my girls lapels

When it is just sitting it opens a bit and shows the fold off

but when it is opened up, you can see it clearly

Hope you like it

Cheers, and see you on the Unstampabelles site!
