I love to make Christmas Cards. I tend to make my fancy fold and fancier cards for my closest family, but this is a quick one for you.
The original plan had been to have a layer of Designer Series Paper peeping through, but it became complicated, so I decided to make it really easy.
Fancy Fold Christmas Cards are definitely the ones that are front and centre on the mantlepiece over the festive season, and they’re the ones to be taken down last!
I loved how this one came out, and though I didn’t colour in my ‘filmed’ version, you can see from my original sample that the colouring looks great!
Be Jolly is such a fun stamp set to use, lots of room for colouring opportunities!
And who wouldn’t want a great card with Father Christmas on it?
Will you have a go at making this Christmas Card? Please share with me if you do!
Have a wonderful day!

- Cut a Sheet of Cardstock in Half and score it in Half
- Cut a piece of White Cardstock to 1/2cm shorter and narrower than the coloured piece (1/8″)
- Score it in half
- Slice your White cardstock from the top left corner to the lower right, approximately 5cm (2″) from the bottom right (as per the video
- With the larger/bottom piece of white cardstock, from your centre score line, score at around 4cm (1-3/4″) on EACH side of that centre line.

Your directions and showing it make it so I think I could accomplish this, I’m intimidated with most fancy folds and don’t even try them! Thanks for sharing this and making it “easier” for some that aren’t as adept to making fancy folds! I think I might give this a try and see how it goes!
