Hello again everyone, I'm so excited to be sharing this beautiful fun fold card that I've case'd from a lovely lady on Youtube her name is Jan Mansor Brown and you can see her make this fold using a different dsp and punch on this link https://youtu.be/HRt_KMSzHd0

Card recipe:
1. Cut both of your card base pieces and then score 1 of them @ 1/2" on both sides and 3 1/2" on both sides.
2. Cut your dsp pieces, and keeping them in pattern order glue them onto the piece you've just scored in between the score lines and then glue the back inside pieces into place leaving a 1/2" gap along the lefthand side as this is where the front of the card will be attached eventually, and also leaving a small gap in the middle of the two pieces. Leave these all to dry before we die cut the circles out of the front piece, using the 4th largest die, you can do this by eye or measure where you want the appetures to be using a rule. (they're being cut into the centre of the 2 larger panels).
3. Die cut your 4 circle frames using the 4th and 6th largest circle dies together and then emboss them all through your winter snow embossing folder.
4. Die cut your 2 window sheet circles, using the 5th largest circle die, and using a small amount of wet glue around the edges of the reverse side of the appertures you've made on your card base, glue them carefully into place. Now you can glue your 4 frame embossed circles into place either side of both of the circle appertures ( being careful not to use too much glue as you don't want to get glue coming out onto your window sheet circles).
5. Cut and emboss with the embossing folder your 2 strips which can now be glued down the sides of your front card base piece.
6. Stamp, colour (I used Balmy blue, Highland heather, Soft seafoam, pumpkin pie and Real red Stampin' blend pens) and die cut your snowman. Stamp your 2 lots of trees having the back trees stamped in 2nd generation stamping, and then die cut them.
7. Glue your snowman and trees behind the windows using stampin' dimensionals, so that you can see them peeking through the windows.
8. Glue your side panel that has the embossed strip of card down it onto the side of the back card base piece that has no dsp on it, using wet glue.
9. Die cut your 2 pieces of card that are needed for the inner side sentiment, emboss the snowflake border onto the white piece using the embossing die within the die set, stamp your sentiment onto it and glue them both together flat, using wet glue.
10. Place dimensionals onto the reverse of your sentiment, being careful not to put them on the side where your front card side piece has got to slip under (holding your card together for standing up and releasing it to fold flat), glue into place.
11. Die cut your front sentiment label, stamp and cut your senitment and then glue the two pieces together flat using wet glue. Place 2 dimensionals down the centre of the reverse side and then glue this onto the front middle panel of your card.
12. Tie 2 double bows and glue these onto the front of your card using glue dots. Place some rhinestone basic jewels onto the embossed snowflakes on your inner side senitment and the card is finished.
Hope you enjoy making this card as much as I enjoyed creating it take care till next time.
