I haven’t participated in a Technique Lover Challenge for the longest time. I knew I had to make a card for today’s challenge though. Today’s challenge was to make a Cami Trifold. I love Cami. Her work is amazing and she is the sweetest person. So after I cleaned (before I showered, yucky…but the sweating had to stop first) I made this card.
The card base is a 5 1/2″ x 11 1/2″ piece of Soft Sky Textured cardstock, scored at 3 3/4″ and 7 1/2″. I used a 3 1/4″ x 3 1/2″ piece of Holiday Harmony Designer paper on the front panel, after punching out the bottom two corners with the ticket corner punch. Next I taped a Chocolate Chip Giga Scallop punch-out (Marvy Uchida) on the it and cut out my window with my Coluzzle.
I stamped Merry Christmas from the Season of Joyset on Shimmery White cardstock in chocolate chip, punched it out with the large oval punch and taped it to the bottom left. Over it I layered a large oval from the Antique Copper Hodgepodge Hardware. I also added two brads from that kit on the left next to the oval window.
I stamped the snowflake from the same set in Always Artichoke on shimmery white, cut it out, added a Ice Circle Jewel brad in it’s center and adhered it with a dimensional.
For the left panel on the inside I layered a 3″ x 5″ piece of Shimmery White on a 3 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Always Artichoke. I punched each corner with the ticket corner punch.
I stamped the Tree from Season of Joy so it would show through my window. I inked up the tree completely with Always Artichoke, then used a wet q-tip to remove the ink from the tree trunk and star. The star was inked with River Rock, the tree trunk with Chocolate chip.
I added the border with Chocolate Chip and All in a Row. The saying from Star Studded Season is also stamped in chocolate chip. The swirls are from Season of Joy and stamped in River rock.
Last I added Dazzling Diamond glitter on the tree and star.
For the center panel I added another piece of the Holiday Harmony Designer paper to cover up the brads from the front. I sanded over the paper a bit with my sanding block.
The left panel had a 1″ x 5 1/2″ strip of shimmery white cardstock added. I used my corner rounder to make the scalloped border.
Last I used the slit punch to punch the tab on the left hand side, added a paper clip from the Antique Copper Hodgepodge Hardware and some River Rock double stitched grosgrain Ribbon.
