Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh Bay Window Fun Fold Christmas Card with Video Tutorial

Good morning – I told you it would be Friday again before you know it, didn’t I?  And I was right!  Whoo-hoo!  😎

So – a couple of my talented team mates – Carole Buckalew and Terry Lynn Bright – made a fun fold card in the past week or so.  It’s a Bay Window card and…I’d never made one.  So…after seeing their gorgeous cards (you might want to click on their names and check out their blogs! 🤙) – I decided to give it a go!

I made mine a Christmas card – decorating it with a beautiful piece of new One Horse Open Sleigh DSP and the Horse & Sleigh bundle – both of which are Online Exclusives.  Take a look-see:

There are a lot of Bay Window cards out there, but Debbie Joy, of Delight of My Heart, figured out how to make one that is centered – so…I used her measurements as a starting point! 😉

I started with a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock that I scored at 1/4″ and 4 1/2″ along the long side.

Then, I flipped the panel over (the 1/4″ score line is still AT the 1/4″ mark when you do this right!).

I started folding at the 5 1/2″ score line – folding it as a mountain.  The next score line is a valley – then mountain – mountain – valley (this is the 1/4″ line).

Using Liquid Glue just between the 4 1/2″ and 5 1/2” score lines, I adhered the front of the card base to the back – just in that 1” area.

I adhered two strips of light woodgrain One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to two pieces of Misty Moonlight – and used Liquid Glue to adhere one of them to the far left panel of the card front (the one I’d just “made”).

I adhered the second matted strip to a 1″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock.  Using Stampin’ Dimensionals – I adhered it to the other end of the card base – making sure to line up the edges of the strip with the edges of the card base.

To cut the three middle DSP panels – I used my Paper Trimmer and cut a 1″ piece, then a 1 1/2″ piece and then another 1″ piece – all from the same side of the 6″ x 6″ piece of DSP.

I trimmed the three strips down to 4″ lengths – trimming an inch from each end.  Note: I didn’t do that on the video but…you should do it that way – it helps to keep the pretty scene centered!

I matted all three pieces on Misty Moonlight and adhered them – in order – to each of the three smaller panels (the “bay”).

On another piece of light woodgrain One Horse Open Sleigh DSP, I stamped a Horse & Sleigh sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink.  In the bottom corners, I stamped the tree image a few times in Pebbled Path.  I stamped the first tree in stamped-off-once ink and then stamped a few more times without re-inking.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and into the middle of the card base.

For the front – I cut two Horse & Sleigh trees, using the die in the set – from a piece of dark woodgrain One Horse Open Sleigh DSP.  I adhered those to the center panel of the “bay” using Liquid Glue.

On the light woodgrain DSP, I stamped the Horse & Sleigh sentiment in Misty Moonlight and cut it with the largest Stylish Shapes banner die.  Then I adhered it to the middle panel – over the trees – with Liquid Glue.

To finish the card, I added a flurry of coppery new Adhesive-backed Snowflakes and the card was done.

This cool card lays flat to go in a Medium Envelope.  To make the “bay” – you (and your recipient) slide the 1/4″ tab under the popped up panel on the right side of the card!

And it’ll even stand up on its own!

My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Horse & Sleigh tree on the front…

…and more of the One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Okay – how fun is this Bay Window fun fold??  I love it – and it’s ESPECIALLY perfect with the scenic papers from the One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ DSP, isn’t it?!  I mean – wow!! I like the pretty images and sentiments in the coordinating Horse & Sleigh stamp set – with the fun bundled dies.  Remember – the DSP and the bundle are both Online Exclusives meaning…you know…they’re not in any catalogs!! 🙂
