Favorite New Mini Catalog or New Online Exclusives Bundle!
Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Stamping Friends. We all picked our favorite bundles from the new catalog or online exclusives and I chose to feature the Noel Tidings Bundle. Why? Because I’m from Maine and we have lots of pinecones and I love them!
My card is actually a Tri-Fold Card Fold and I had 6 panels to work with. The photo above shows you three of the panels with lots of layers on all three.
This is what the card looks like when it’s folded flat:
You can see how pretty the Neutral Noel Designer Paper is with all of the gold foiling on some of the sheets. When you turn the card to the inner layers, this is what you’ll see:
The designer paper is white on the 2nd side. I decorated the center panel so that it has the same layers on the opposite side. So everything is glued back-to-back on the center layer. These are more photos of the first 3 sections:
