An “M” Fold Christmas Card

To create the zig zag fold on the front of the card, I used some Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper. The foliage and candles all come from the Window Qishes bundle

Instructions

This is a 12.5cm square card base – or 5″ in imperial. The Designer Series Paper measured 12cm x 24cm and was scored at 12cm and 18cm or 4 3/4″ x 9 1/2″, scored at 4 3/4″ and 7 1/8″.

I cut 3 of the curved foliage garlands, which I stamped in Evening Evergreen. Because it is so easy to get this stamp out of alignment, I used my Stamparatus and a die cut template to line it up. Two of the garlands were cut in half and arranged behind the other one to give this cascading look.

They were decorated with a die cut bow and some Red Rhinestones.

The candles were attached both behind and in front of the front panel and the top trio was attached with dimensionals. this gave depth to the arrangement.

A piece of Evening Evergreen Windowpane ribbon was wrapped around the front panel and a bow added.

The sentiment, also in Evening Evergreen, was attached with dimensionals.
