For week five of the 2025 Heart of Christmas blog hop I’ve made three more cards using products from the gorgeous gold foiled Traditions of Christmas Suite.
All three cards are a simple fancy fold created by cutting a sheet of A4 cardstock in half lengthways, trimming each piece of cardstock to 10.5 cm x 28cm. I scored and folded each card base at 14 cm and 21 cm.
The three different colours I’ve used for the cardstock bases all come from colours in the Traditions of Christmas Specialty DSP.
Card One – Real Red and Bubble Bath
I’ve used Bubble Bath cardstock to pick up the pink in the Traditions of Christmas Specialty DSP, die cut using the Christmas Greenery Dies, part of the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection.
Here’s what the card looks like when opened up. I’ve used the Traditional Labels dies to stamp and die cut the sentiment. There is a white panel on the back of the card for writing a message.
Card Two – Pool Party and Secret Sea
Card two picks up the two blues in the flower bouquet and the all over floral pattern DSP. Just like the first card, I’ve used embellishments from the Traditional Sparkling Sequins.
Card Three – Old Olive and Real Red
As the Old Olive DSP on the right hand side of the card is “less busy” and the all over floral design on the first two cards, I’ve moved the bunch of flowers to the other side of this card.
For all three cards I’ve lined up the position of the front sentiment label to cover the inside sentiment label. Do you have a favourite colour/design?

Beautiful cards, Cathy and a perfect fancy fold to showcase this beautiful paper. Really great colour combos!
Lovely! So clever how those labels match up to cover the inside one perfectly. This fun fold has really allowed you to show off the wide range of patterns in the DSP. I must use some of those lovely reverse pages.
I love this simple fancy fold Cathy and how you have used the bolder patterns together with the less busy DSP in your beautiful cards.
Great fun fold cards, Cathy, featuring this stunning Specialty paper. I love that you showed a variety of different coloured card bases too!
Three gorgeous Z-fold cards Cathy. I love your use of the Traditions of Christmas SDSP and your coordination of Card-stock bases. all so beautiful. xxx
