Q. What's Black & White & Read (Red) all over? I'm really dating myself with this old joke from my childhood! Not a newspaper, but this beautiful card made with Peaceful Place Designer Paper and my favorite vintage snowman stamp.
This is one of my favorite fun fold cards, the Spanner Card.
Card base - Basic Gray, 8-1/2" by 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4". On the card
front, use your Paper Trimmer to cut up to the fold, 1-1/4" from both the left
and right edges.
You'll need 4 pieces of Designer Paper 1" x 4", 2 for the card front and 2 for
the inside.
The Designer Paper with the silver foil trees is 2-3/4" x 4".
The snowbank is cut from Basic White Thick cardstock using a retired die that
I had. If you don't have a die you could easily cut this with sharp
scissors. It's about 1'1/2" high on the left side and 1" on the right
side.
The snowman is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White Thick cardstock
and colored with Real Red Stampin' Blends. It doesn't show in this
photo, but he's all sparkly with Wink of Stella glitter and mounted on
Stampin' Dimensionals.
The Basic White panel on the inside of the card is 2-7/8" x 4".
All three of the sentiments are stamped in Real Red. The one on the card
front came from my October 2021 Paper Pumpkin kit. The small sentiment
on the second layer (I call that one the secret sentiment) is from a retired
stamp set called Wrapped in Christmas. The inside sentiment is from
Evergreen Elegance.
Pro Tip:
Use multipurpose liquid glue to adhere the designer paper pieces.
You'll want a little wiggle room to get them spaced out just right!
