Stamp With Belinda: BKCC#7... My cards

BKCC#7... My cards

I knew when I saw the photo I picked that the colors would be so elegant... I was right! (pats self on back) I love how my cards turned out... even if Gold Encore ink is a pain in the patootie to work with. You see, it doesn't like to dry very easily. I blasted it with my heat gun, and that helped quite a bit.

The first card is a simple tri-fold (though I'm not quite sure it's called a "tri" fold when there are clearly two folds... lol!). First score your 5-1/2 x 8-1/2" cardstock at 4-1/4", then score again at 2-1/8". I placed the inside layer first (Mary and Joseph) then carefully placed the Wise Men layer on top so that when the card is closed, it's "hiding" the inside layer.

Follow the Star

I love the gold on black! *grin* But I wasn't quite pleased with this card. So I looked around the galleries on Splitcoast and found a card that used Cami's Trifold design (see the tutorial by Beate Johns).

Christ's Birth

I adore this card! The only thing I would change would be to leave the snowflakes off the front-- just have them on the middle panel.
