Another of my commissioned cards, this time with a golfing Christmas theme. I thought it would be a nice one for the challenge at Krafty Chicks challenge #746 – Christmas so am entering it there. I saw this fold on Pinterest and searched for a tutorial so I could make it my own version. I could have figured it out, but sometimes it is just easier to see how it is done and this tutorial was really easy to follow. The paper I used is from a paper pad from last year. My images are all from a stamping buddy who gifted me with an envelope full of golf related images and I am really grateful to her for them. She knows who she is. I fussy cut the Tee ball and the Santa hats using pencils to colour. Then I coloured the focal image using pencils and some glitter pens. Once it was coloured I fussy cut it strategically so it stayed together as one piece and I edged it with a black pen. Once I had the card base cut, scored and folded I added all the smaller panels and then taking the suggestion from the video I added a strip of plastic at the centre so the focal image has more stability. Except for the Tee balls everything is glued flat, although as this card is to be gifted personally not mailed, more dimension wouldn’t have been an issue.
I’m really pleased with how it turned out and I know my friend is going to be thrilled with it as will her father for whom it is intended.
I think I have two more Christmas cards to make and then I’m done for this year. I wasn’t going to bother with these two, but have learned that the mail strike may be over next week. The government stepped in and is forcing them to settle. Obviously there will be a backlog to clear, but at least people will receive the cards sometime in January, late but not so bad as to matter. I’ll confirm with my stamping buddies as soon as I am certain the strike it over.
Thanks for stopping by.

This is a fun fold that I have not seen before, and I thought I had seen everything. Your card is fantastic. I am thinking of doing a topping for Seize the Birthday of Fun Fold when it is my turn to host again. What do you think of that?
