Today’s card feature’s Stampin’ Up Traditions of Christmas DSP, an upcoming product that will be available September 3rd. I created a stunning gatefold card for this months SU Demo Fun Fold Blog Hop.

The card base is a piece of Secret Sea cardstock cut at 5 1/2″ x 11″ scored at 1 1/4″, 3 3/8″, 7 5/8″ & 9 3/4″. I fold along the scorelines creating the card base.

I adhered panels of Stampin’ Up Traditions Of Christmas DSP to the card base.

I wrapped a piece of Secret Sea cardstock measuring 1 1/4″ x 11″ around the card base and adhere to create a belly band.

I die cut a piece of Secret Sea cardstock with the largest dot edge die from Spotlight of Nature Dies. I die cut a piece of Stampin’ Up Irresistible Designs DSP cardstock with the largest circle die from Stampin’ Up Stylish Shape Dies. I adhered the die cuts together and adhere to the belly band.

I die cut a piece of Stampin’ Up Traditions of Christmas DSP with Stampin’ Up Christmas Greenery Dies. I die cut pine branches with a piece of Old Olive cardstock three times. I adhered the the die cuts to the circle dies with liquid adhesive & Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ up Wishing You Joy Stamp Set, an upcoming product that will be available September 3rd using Versamark Ink on a piece of Secret Sea cardstock. I heat embossed white embossing powder from WOW Basics Embossing Powders using my Heat Tool. I die cut the sentiment with Stampin’ Up Traditional Labels Dies. I adhered the sentiment die cut to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The inside is a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up Wishing You Joy Stamp Set using Cherry Cobbler ink. I adhered the stamped panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat and adhered the layers to the inside of the card base.

    Oh, so, pretty, Tarabeth! The belly band is over the top!

    I may just have to CASE this because I do have the beautiful DSP. Love the belly band. For some reason it reminds me of our fearless leader! TFS.
