Spellbinders Winter Wonderland Collection┃Inspiration Cards

Happy Thursday, Friends! On today’s blog, I’d like to share with you another set of holiday inspiration cards made with a combination of “Tri-Fold & Fun Fold” effect to showcase, the latest Winter Wonderland Collection by Spellbinders. Which includes: Winter Wonderland Paper Pad, Winter Wonderland Printed Die Cut Sentiments, Winter Wonderland Printed Die Cuts, Christmas Glitter Sentiment Stickers, and Gold Puffy Alphabet Stickers. So, without further ado let’s jump right in to the step-by-step for how I made them ↓

Therefore, for the first example, I started off by selecting some of the patterned paper sheets from Winter Wonderland Paper Pad along with some of the die cut shapes including in Winter Wonderland Printed Die Cuts. Next, after I had finished selecting them, I went ahead to put them off aside to go and add the fun fold and tri-fold effect to the card base.

Thus, to create the fun fold effect over the card first, I went ahead to put together two side folding white card bases so, to do that, I got adhered with double-sided adhesive the backing of the front part of the front card flap from an A2 size side folding white card base to the inner top part of the bottom flap card from another A2 size side folding white card base.

Second, after I got them both adhered, I went ahead to lay the card flat open to mark a dot using a pencil and a ruler thus, to do that, I placed the ruler right where the first fold is located to mark the pencil dot at 1-1/2 inches from the top part of the card to bottom or, towards me if you will. Next, I used the ruler once again but this time along with bone folder to trace a scoring line from the top of the left side card flap to the pencil dot and then, another scoring line from the top of the right or center card flap to the pencil dot, just as shown in the image above.

Then, as soon as, I had finished adding the scoring lines over the card base, I went ahead to push outward the scoring lines to create the diagonal shape between the front and center card flaps. That being said, after making sure that the folds were where they supposed to be, I went ahead to use the side of the bone folder to get the folds burnished for a cleaner look. Then, right after that I had finished adding the fun fold effect, I proceeded to get the card base embellished using the patterned paper sheets that I selected earlier. So, to do that, I went ahead to use the paper trimmer to cut the paper sheets at 5-1/4 x 4.0 and then, I used once again the paper trimmer to add the diagonal cut for two of the paper sheets.

Moving on, after trimming the paper sheets down, I went ahead to get them adhered to the card base and then, I added two small pieces to the fun fold effect as well. As for these two last pieces, I went ahead to trim down two smaller pieces of one of the patterned paper sheets at 1-1/4 x 4.0 inches. Then, to make it easier, I went ahead to place one on top of the other but with the patterns facing together to create a mirrored effect when getting them trim down. As, for the trimming step, I went ahead to create a diagonal cut by lining up to the edge of the paper trimmer the right bottom and left top parts of the paper pieces. Having that said, as soon as, I had finished cutting them off, I’ve gotten them adhered to the fun fold.

Thus, to get the card embellishment first, I went ahead to get the card closed and then, I added the die cut shapes in a diagonal way following the fold from the front card flap. But making sure to have free of adhesive the top part of them so, they can’t interfere with the interactive fun fold effect.

Then, after getting the top part embellished, I went ahead to add the first card sentiment so, to do that, I used some of the Christmas Glitter Sentiment Stickers which, I added to the bottom part of the front card flap.

Next, I left the center of the card without any embellishments and then, I moved on to the last flap. As, you can see the last flap has the full card background effect created with a different pattern to add a little contrast; a pattern which, I used as well to add even more contrast to the smaller pieces of the fun fold.

Lastly, I added some of the die cut shapes that I had selected to the bottom right and top left corners of the flap finishing that way the first tri-fold and fun fold holiday card. By the way, you can trim down a smaller white cardstock piece and place it over the center part of the card to add a personal message or add the personal message in the back of the card. Also, you can add extra embellishments to cover that empty space up or even better add a pocket to add a gift card. Your imagination is the limit when comes to add whichever you can imagine to the card.

Nevertheless, before moving on to the other two examples, here in the image above, I want to share with you once again how the card looks like when is fully closed.

For the second example, I made a simpler design yet with extra dimension so, to make this example, I went ahead to trim down a card background from one of the paper sheet to 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 inches and then, I got the backing of it adhered with double-sided adhesive to an A2 size side folding white card base. Next, I trimmed down another white card panel a little bit smaller than the front card panel and then, I got its backing adhered with craft foam adhesive to the card to add a little bit of dimension.

Lastly, I selected some of the die cut shapes with small ornament and greenery look and then, I created a cluster with them by gluing down some of them with liquid glue and by mounted some of them with square foam adhesives over the top part of the smaller white card panel. Lastly, I went ahead to finish the card off by adding a large ornament die cut shape to the center of the smaller card panel; an ornament which already includes a message to make easier the make for this example.

For the last example, I went ahead to trim down one of the patterned paper sheets included in the paper pad and then, I got the backing of it adhered with double-sided adhesive to an A2 size side folding white card base.

Then, I selected some of the die cut shapes and I created the full card background with them. However, to add a little more interest to it, I decided to get each die cut shaped mounted with craft foam adhesives to the card, making it that way extra dimensional. That being said, to finish the card off, I used some of the gold foiled sentiments included in Winter Wonderland Printed Die Cut Sentiments.

And, with that being said friends, I hope you’ve enjoyed reading the step-by-step for how I’ve made set of holiday inspiration cards with a combination of “Tri-Fold & Fun Fold” effect to showcase, the latest Winter Wonderland Collection by Spellbinders.
