This card was made for CRAFT ROULETTE #293 whose parameters included a book binding card, sandwich shop colors,  music element, and wrap(s)(ing). I used stamps and dies by Karen Burniston to make this card.

Watch the video below to learn how this card was made.

Cardbase: I started with a purchase A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) cardbase in kraft brown cardstock. Score 1/4 -inch to the right of the card fold. This will become the book binding. Tie a red ribbon around the card at the book binding section. Glue ribbon into the binding section and glue section shut. Cut four panels from plaid cardstock using the second largest die from the Rectangles – Crosshatch set. Two 1×5.5-inch red strips were added to the cardbase edges to cover over the pivot panels that stuck out of the closed card.

Pivot Pop-Up: Watch the assembly video for the Evergreen Pivot Panels located at the bottom of the linked page. decorate the panels flat before installing into card. Install as directed in video.

Trees and Snowflakes: Cut at least ten trees from the Evergreen Pivot Panels set. Wrap five trees with twine and tinsel as shown in video above. Cut from thin red and yellow papers the stars and bows in the same die set. Cut eight snowflakes from pearlescent vellum. Six trees will be used on pivot panels, two trees on card front and one tree on card back. The final tree goes on the envelope back flap.

Sentiments: The “Have a tree trimming, carol singing, laughter ringing Christmas” and “Fa la la la la la” sentiments were stamped in black ink using the Season of Cheer stamp set and cut out using the smallest fancy label die in the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch and the banner label in the Lorna Label Pop-Up sets. Two small fancy labels were cut from white using the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch set for writing a personal message.

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inch) size envelope with a tree glued to the back flap.
