Welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog, and Happy December 1st! As I have always done in December - I'll be sharing holiday cards right up until Christmas. Still, this is my 12th and final edition to my monthly series "12 Months of Christmas". Today I'm sharing a pair of 5 x 7" cards - one has a simple box pop up and the other uses the Paper Frames Pop Up die set by Karen Burniston. In the photo above you can see the fronts of both cards.
In the photo below you see the insides! (Sorry for the bad lighting - these photos were not allowing me to do much editing.)
Both cards are nice and simple on the fronts, letting that adorable patterned paper do all the work. I matted the panels with coordinating patterned paper from the same package, added some glitter and gold snowflake stickers as well as a stamped sentiment popped up with foam tape.
The first card has a simple box pop up inside. I have several tutorials on YouTube showing how to make these (Click HERE to see one) and I used a cut apart from a sheet in the package as the decorative element inside.
The second card is actually on a Kraft card base instead of a white one - both cards have matching envelopes.
I fussy cut a couple of snow people from a sheet in the package with borders of these snowmen to decorate the inside. I love all the dimension you get with the Paper Frames Pop Up!
Whenever I give someone a card that uses the Paper Frames Pop Up, they turn it over to view it from the top ... so here is a top view photo for you. 😊
Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
