A pretty 'that-a-way' fun fold Christmas card made using the Festive Friends stamp set and dies from Stampin' Up!

Snowman That-a-Way card

This adorable snowman that-a-way card was inspired by a video made by the Tatted Stamper showcasing the ‘that-a-way’ fun fold and I just had to try it using the pretty snowman from the Festive Friends stamp set.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the snowman that-a-way card, you will need:

Thick Basic Card Base – 11½” by 4” – scored at 5¼”
Beautiful Bokeh dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White and Granny Apple Green

 

With a pencil, lightly mark the card front at 2” on the short side then cut from the 2” mark to the centre scoreline on the right. Repeat the cut on the left side to leave a pointed card front. Place the 2 cut pieces together, face down, to form a triangle and use Sellotape to adhere the pieces together.

With a pencil, lightly mark the dsp panel at 1⅞” on the short side then cut from the mark to the centre scoreline on the right, repeat the cut on the left side. This will give 1 large triangle and 2 small triangles.
