Getting ready for the holidays now? I have a super special card idea that is beautiful! The star of the production is the vibrant Christmas flower also know as the Poinsettia — or Christmas Star. But the supporting role is played by the fancy fold called Center Step Fun Fold.
The fancy fold is multi-stepped, which means it takes a little time. This is not a project you want to mass produce at the 11th hour. However, it’s not complicated. If I can do it, YOU can do!
Here’s What You Need to Create the Wow! Holiday Card with Fancy Fold
You do not need a special die to create the Center Step. Your trusty friend the Stampin’ Trimmer does everything you need to make the card base. To decorate the holiday card, I used Stampin’ Up!’s Poinsettia Place Suite. This must-have for the holidays includes the stamp set and coordinating dies, plus the dreamy Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper, Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper, Beaded Pearls and Real Red Sheer Ribbon. I added the Red Velvet Paper Pack for the layered poinsettia. Every supply used in the project is breath-taking!
A side secret. I already owned stamp sets with poinsettias. I even had a poinsettia punch on my shelf. However, no other stamp set and cutting tool produces such a magnificent Christmas Star as easily as this bundle. Layering to create the full 3D flower is quick and easy. You do not need to build the poinsettia petal by petal as tools of the past required.
Here is a quick video from my vault demonstrating how to create the Center Fold base. Notice the fun fall design. I STILL love it!
During Friday Facebook Live, I demonstrated how to create the Wow! holiday card with the poinsettia. You will hear exact measurements so you can re-create the card as I show. Here’s the edited version of the Facebook Live.
