Fabulous Folds SU Stars Blog Hop*Blog Candy


This is my first Blog Hop with the SU Stars. Glad to join in the fun!

The name of this fold is Tri-Fold Book card. Pretty easy to do. You'll need a 12x5 1/2 sheet of cardstock. Also a 4 1/4 x 2 3/4 panel (this is cut using the same color cardstock. I found the directions here if you would like to make one.



Stamp sets: Winter Post, Pennant Parade, Lovely as a Tree, and Medallion background stamp


In this picture you can see the middle panel. I wanted to keep the same usage of punches on each page so I used the large scallop punch, and circle punches.


Here is the last panel. I really like how the word "Post Card" fit right across the top so you can see it when the book is folded up.


Close up of skaters. I grated some vanilla cardstock to make the "fluff" on the hat bands. Also used some glitter on the trees, and crystal effects for the ice pond.

Next up on the Hop Raissa Spatola

Hey Roomie! Love this card, it is absolutely beautiful. I need to make one of these. Well, don't have the set, always meant to get it, but you know how that goes, but I could substitute, lol. Hugs to you, my friend.

OK, maybe this time I will win the journal. If not I get the consolation prize of getting to look at your great card. I love that fold and the colors are wonderful. Thanks for the inspiration.
