Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to end of November!
You may have found me via Catherine Proctor's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome!
For my card today I have made a Front Panel Gate Fold Card. Many thanks to fellow SU demo Sharon Davern for sharing the measurements with me. (You will see her lovely creations after as she has the master list for tonights blog hop).
I have used the stunning whimsy and wonder speciality DSP for my card today along with mint macaron cardstock and Christmas tree dies. I have kept the basic colour scheme very simple, just mint macaron, soft succulent, silver foil and a tiny pop of blushing bride.
I love that the pattern on the front and back of the DSP worked so beautifully with each other. It made whipping this card up very simple. To echo the trees on the white paper, I have used the Christmas tree dies on my centre panel. I typed my Merry Christmas sentiment as I didn't have a sentiment the right size and printed straight onto blushing bride cardstock.
Close up
To write on the card, I have attached a panel on the backside and adhered a tiny little tree as well. If I feel I need more room to write, I will add more panels on the left and right hand sizes. Up next we have Rosa Leyden. I can't wait to see what she is sharing.

That is a very cool design, Ros, especially with these designer papers and the tree dies. I just love this suite and your card is no exception!

Wow, what an awesome card! I love that you've kept the colour scheme so simple - the trees look amazing, and the pop of pink is very pretty.

Wow, such a great card Ros. I love the fancy fold and it is delightful with the Whimsy & Wonder SDSP and die cut trees with sponging on the edges. Typing & printing directly onto the blushing bride card-stock is a brilliant idea. Xxx

Beautiful use of those gorgeous papers and dies, Ros. I love the two greens together, and you have decorated this fancy fold card to perfection. Love your work!

Ros, such a pretty card. Mint Macaron and Soft Succulent go so beautifully together and I love the silver foil accents too.
