TINSEL TIME THURSDAY
Card # 2
Welcome to week two of Tinsel Time Thursday! Today’s cards feature the Warm &Toasty stamp set from the Stampin’ Up!®️ August- December 2020 Mini Catalog. (Page 42.) The cards also feature the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper from the same catalog. (Page 9.)
Today’s card is a Paneled Stand Alone Fun Fold Card. I made one of these many years ago. Several versions, a lot of examples, and some tutorials for this type of card Can be found on various web sites like Pinterest. Here is the card I made using the original instructions I was given for this type of card. It is created in portrait orientation.
I wanted to make a similar card using a landscape orientation, so I did a bit of math, and this is the result:
Both cards measure 5 1/2” x 4 1/4” when flat, and easily fit into this Stampin’ Up! medium envelopes (A-2 size).
