Christmas Trifold Card

Hi everyone,

 

How has the beginning of your week been?  Good I hope! 

 

It’s time for a new Christmas Challenge at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges and this week it is being hosted by Judy.  Judy’s challenge is to create a Trifold Card.

 

So if you are ready for a challenge and may need some inspiration from the other members of the Design Team or interested in see the types of Trifold cards you can create ?  Come and visit us at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges, you may even win a prize!

 

For my Trifold card I have created a Gatefold Card and the base cardstock is Perfect Plum.

 

The image is the sponsors image and I when I saw the image I immediately thought of using Perfect Plum and Tempting Turquoise to colour the Dove in but needed a third colour.  The third colour I decided to add was Wild Wasabi.

 

The image has been coloured in using the Aqua Painter and I have added some Soft Suede and So Saffron on the beak of the Dove.

 

The image and the layer of Wild Wasabi card stock have been cut out using the Labels Framelits in the Big Shot.  The Wild Wasabi layer of card stock has been embossed using the Square Lattice Textured Embossing Folder.

 

The Snowflakes on the front of the card have been stamped on the Perfect Plum card stock in Perfect Plum ink and are from the Snow Swirled stamp set.  The snow flakes on the inside of the card have been stamped in Perfect Plum, Wild Wasabi and Tempting Turquoise.

 

The trifold card has been held shut with two buttons from the Subtles Designer Buttons which have been added to the card front with dimensionals.  I have also added ‘bling’ to the inside of the buttons and on a couple of the snow flakes.

 

Here is my card:

This is a very non-traditional coloured card but I think you still get the Christmas feel and it was great to add the Trifold Technique in as well.
