"Making Spirits Bright" Stand-Up Fun Fold Card with the Home for Christmas Bundle
Fold the center panel forward and this card opens like a mini card inside the card, with a white square waiting for your message. Fold it back and its front edge tucks neatly under a sentiment strip on the bottom ledge. The base is a single piece of Peaceful Pine Cardstock with two score lines that step down from a tall back panel to a short bottom one, so it stands up on its own on a mantel or shelf. Up front, a stamped "making spirits bright" circle, a little tree on Dimensionals, and four Golden Glow stars give it that Christmas Eve feeling. It looks fancy, but it's all straight cuts and simple folds!

Project Details & Inspiration
Fold the large piece of Peaceful Pine Cardstock along both score lines, using a mountain fold on one and a valley fold on the other, and burnish each crease so the card stands well. Cover the tall back panel and the short bottom panel with Timeless Christmas Designer Series Paper. For the center panel, fold the smaller piece of Peaceful Pine in half, glue the Basic White square inside for your message, and add a square of Designer Series Paper to the front. Then glue the back half of that folded panel to the center of the tall back panel.
Stamp "making spirits bright" from the Scalloped Christmas Cheer Stamp Set in Poppy Parade ink and die cut it into a circle with the Stylish Shapes Dies, centering the sentiment before you run it through. Glue it to the front of the center panel. Stamp the tree in Peaceful Pine ink, die cut it with the Home for Christmas Dies, and pop it up on the upper right edge of the circle. Four Golden Glow stars go below the sentiment and at the top of the tree. Last, stamp "Sending Christmas Cheer" in Poppy Parade on the thin white strip and mat it on Peaceful Pine. Fold the center panel forward to see where it lands, then attach the strip to the bottom panel with Dimensionals so the panel tucks right under it. A White Textured Ribbon bow adds the finishing touch!
