The spare weekends are few between now and Christmas so I had a quick opportunity to host a Fancy Fold Christmas card class. We used the gorgeous Shining Brightly 12 x 12 DSP to create these Acetate Tent Fold Cards - simple but so effective.
For this sample I trimmed the 4cm flap to 3cm to allow more window space to see the embossed background, and also because I was not trimming the flap with any dies.
In the alternative version uses the Around the Bend dies to shape the top flap, but any border die would work.
It's a simple fold and the acetate is adhered with strong tape. I love that the card stands for display. You may need a belly band to hold it closed when it is in the envelope, however I found these ones sat quite flat enough.
There are endless combinations of the layering of the embossed stars, It's fabulous that the hybrid embossing folder cuts out 3 stars at once at the same time as embossing them. I used the tiny star dies to cut some gold glimmer paper which adds just the right sparkle and negates the need for an embellishment with any additional height.
The Shining Brightly DSP is gold, navy and vanilla- so classic and a beautiful feature on its own.
You can see the directions and instructions for this style of card on an old post from 08/14/2020.

I hope you will give these a try.
I hope you have a creative week and remember,
