Imagine That Fancy Fold Blog Hop

Welcome to my stop on the "Fancy Fold Blog Hop" with  Imagine That Digistamps.  We hope you will be inspired to try some of these card folds, treat boxes or other 3D projects which is perfect timing with Christmas right around the corner! 

I've made a u-fold card using the very cute 'Red Nose Reindeer' digi stamp which you can find here on the website.  I've used card, paper and gems from Craft Creations and Card Candi from Craftwork Cards.

I looked at a couple of tutorials before making this style of card for the first time - there are lots on Pinterest and you can also find them by searching in Google.

Here's a side view of the card:

The card folds flat to fit in an envelope:
