My Christmas Card

Yesterday you saw Chris's tent fold stepper card
now here's mine.

Front view



Side view

I have used a different large greeting to Chris's - using the Christmas Greetings 
Thinlits Dies (currently in the Clearance rack at a reduced price!!)
I have used the  "peace" one as it matched the sentiment I used 
from the Peace This Christmas stamp set.
The trees are from the Peaceful Pines stamp set and 
Perfect Pines Framelits dies.
The stamped sentiment was stamped onto a Stitched Shapes Framelits
then layered onto a Layering Circle (Scallop) die cut.

Two different versions of the same card.

Em asked if I could post the measurements to recreate this fold
well here they are

From an A4 piece of card, cut into two pieces along the 21 cm side
 (each one will be 10.5 cm wide by 29.7 cm)
Score on the longest side at 10, 20, 22, 24 and 26 cm.

If you look at the side view picture you can see how they fold.
The circle is cut between the edge and the first 10cm  score line
and that is where you glue the front to the back of the last scored line,
this keeps the card stable and stops it from falling over!!
Hope this helps
