Today’s card highlights the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle which will be available in the upcoming September Mini Catalog. This card combines that bundle with supplies already available by including the Season of Green & Gold Designer Series Paper and Greetings of the Season Bundle.

Prepare the pieces for this Winterly Tree Tops Fun Fold

Starting with Very Vanilla card stock, Memento Ink and the Winterly Tree Tops bundle, I chose to stamp and color the single bird and the greenery bough, then die cut them with the corresponding dies.

I also die cut two of the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

If you don’t have that set, an appropriate substitute would be the largest of the circle dies from the Everyday Details die set.

Bringing it all together

To make the fun fold, cut Very Vanilla card stock to 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, then score at 4 1/4″ and again at 2 1/8″. Fold and burnish into a “Z” fold. Lay your card base open and attach a strip of Season of Green & Gold Paper to the left portion and another to the second portion. Stamp your inside sentiment on one of the die cut circles and your outside greeting on the other after deciding how you want your bough and bird to be placed. Attach the colored bough and bird with dimensionals.

Cut a piece of Mossy Meadow Card Stock and glue to the inside of the card; center your sentiment circle on that.

Close the card and carefully place the outside greeting circle on the front so that it covers the inner circle, attaching to the card base only on the left portion of the circle.
