ONE CARD THEME - Multiple Occasions! Simple Fun Fold (Inspired by Demonstrator Ronda Wade)
One Card Theme - TWO Different Occasions in this Tutorial/ Video inspired by fellow demonstrator Ronda Wade and one of her favorite fun folds.
This is pretty easy to do and you can get two card bases out of 1 piece of 8 1/2 x 11 Cardstock. I'll definitely use this easy fun fold in the future.
This came about because I have teacher appreciation on the brain as my son is about to embark on a new elementary school journey and his teacher to be has been so communicative with me even before the school year which I SO APPRECIATE.
But I recognize not everyone has a need for a teacher card or gift and so I thought this would be a great theme for a Christmas card as well.
The Black, White and Red Theme, I confess, came from a video about giving teachers useful gifts from Target. I thought it would be cuter if the card matched the gift card! LOL So here we are.

CARD MEASUREMENTS (BOTH CARDS):

Score each card base at 5 1/2 inch mark
Cut each card base at 2 3/4" from the score line
Designer Series Paper Layer Measurements
Cut 2 pieces at 2 1/2 x 4" (For the teacher card I chose to cut two different patterns for contrast but you can use the same DSP for both if you like)
Cut 1 piece (Poppy Parade paper) at 2-9/16 x 4-1/16"
Cut Layering Piece for inside of the card at 4 x 5 1/4"
Cut Basic White piece (for inside sentiment) to 2 3/4 x 4 1/4"
You will need to die cut the pretty shape tag from the Frightful Tags dies for the outside sentiment (both cards so cut two while you're at it)
You will also need to die cut the stars (one pass will get you 6 stars!) - Also pictured above.
Note: I like to wrap the ribbon behind the Poppy Parade Designer Series Paper layer. - Also pictured above. Then I thread a second piece of ribbon through and tie a bow (sideways) - Also pictured above.
SLIGHT CHANGES WITH CHRISTMAS Card:
The layering piece on this card that is 1/16th of an inch bigger than the 2 1/2 x 4 layer is the Black Glitter Paper and it goes on the outer sentiment rectangle (horizontal) instead of vertical on the teacher card.
I used the reverse side of the Designer Series Paper for the decorative piece featuring the deer.
I added red rhinestones to the center of the snowflakes and the bow is tied and adhered with a glue dot.
The edge of the tag die cut is colored in with the Stampin' Blend in Real Red Dark to create a simple frame look. This one is also positioned vertically instead of horizontally on the teacher card.
I appreciate you stopping by today! I'd love to know what you think of the cards. Leave a comment and let me know!
