Elegant Ornaments Hinged Christmas Card
For the card: Cut 11"x6" burgundy cardstock and place it horizontally. Score it vertically 3½", 5", and 6½" from the left end. Measure 1½" down from the top and mark it from the left end to the 6½" score. Cut away the cardstock above the mark, stopping at the 6½" score.
Place double-sided tape on the panel between the 3½" and 5" scores. Remove the tape backing and fold the left end panel over the tape to adhere the first and second panels together. Fold the front back on the 5" score in a mountain fold, and the 6½" score in a valley fold. Use the corner punch to round the three top corners as shown.
For the front: Cut 3¼"x4¼" Christmas Sparkle tan poinsettia paper and cut the upper right corner to fit the card front. Wrap a 4½" dark gold satin ribbon across the paper, ¾" from the bottom, and glue the ends to the back. Glue the paper centered on the card front.
Die cut a medium ornament from black cardstock and a large ornament each from green and dark red Shine sheets. To back the black ornament, glue it to the gold sparkle sheet from the paper kit and cut along the edges. Remove the backing from the large ornaments, back both with gold Shine sheet, and cut them out.
Glue the two large ornaments and foam tape the medium ornament to the front as shown. Tie a ribbon shoestring bow and use tape to attach it over the first ribbon, near the right front edge. Tie two thread shoestring bows and glue one to each large ornament. Hold 2-3 thread strands together, knot them and trim the ends. Glue the knot to the medium ornament.
For the inside: Cut 4 1/8"x5¾" Christmas Sparkle poinsettia border paper with the border along the bottom. Round the upper corners to fit the inside. Wrap a 6" dark gold satin ribbon across the paper ¾" from the bottom, gluing the ends to the back. Glue the paper centered on the inside, making sure the ribbon location matches the ribbon on the front when the card is closed.
Die cut a large ornament from black cardstock and back it with gold sparkle paper as before. Die cut two of the small and medium ornaments each from dark red and green Shine sheets, then back these ornaments on gold Shine sheet. Glue and foam tape the ornaments over the poinsettia border as shown.
Place gold sparkle “Merry Christmas” Dazzles™ across the panel top, making sure it shows when the card is closed. Tie three thread shoestring bows and two sets of knotted threads together, then glue the bows and knots as shown.
