Happy New Year’s Eve and welcome to the last Fun Fold Blog Hop with Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators of 2024.

What does New Year’s Eve remind you of? Glimmer? Glitz? Fireworks? The inspiration for this project is all that.

I’m not sure what the featured fold is called. It certainly has a great WOW factor. It’s easier than it looks.  Scroll down to see the Nuts & Bolts of it all. You’ll even learn how to use up the scraps!

First things first. Thank you to Karen Titus for this fold.  She made it so easy to create. Let’s get started.

Nuts & Bolts

Paper Cuts

• Card Stock
  • Card Base – Thick Basic White CS 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″; scored at 4-1/4″ on long side
  • Basic White CS 3-3/4″ x 5″ (cut 2)
  • Basic White CS 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ (cut 1)
  • Basic White CS scrap for greeting
• Patterned Paper
  • Marbled Excellence Specialty 6″ x 6″ (cut 1) score at 1-1/2″ on all 4 sides 
  • Marbled Excellence Specialty 4″ x 5-1/4″ (cut 2) 
• Glimmer Paper
  • Gold 3″ x 3″ (Cut 1)
  • Gold Scraps

Construction

1. Adhere the Marbled Excellence layers to the outside of the card base. 
2. Emboss one Basic White CS 3-3/4″ x 5″ with your choice of embossing folders. Adhere to the front Layer 1.
3. Cut the corners off the 6″ x 6″ piece so it looks like Figure 1. Set aside the cut pieces for later use.
4. Fold all score lines. Determine which pattern you want on the outside. Place this side down then fold the corners toward the score line as show in Figure 2
5. Turn the piece over and Adhere the 3″ x 3″ Gold Glimmer paper to the center of the square.
6. Use Spring Corners Dies to crop the 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ white CS. Adhere to the Gold Glimmer Square with strong adhesive.
7. Refer to Figures 4 & 5 to fold the square up. The last corner will tuck under the first to hold closed. Adhere the entire folded square to the front of the card with Tear & Tape.
8. Use Spring Corners Dies to crop desired corners from Gold Glimmer. Adhere as shown.
9. Stamp greeting on Basic White CS. Trim and flag one end. Adhere to card front with Tear & Tape
10. Inside:
    1. Stamp sentiment on second Basic White CS 3-3/4″ x 5″. Adhere to inside layer 1.
    2. Fold saved squares from Step 3, in half diagonally.  Cut in half at fold line creating triangles.
