A Christmas buckle card featuring the Beautiful You stamp set and Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder
I jazzed up the edge of the buckle with a silver frond cut with the Beautiful Boughs die set |
Buckle Folds are an extension of the Joy Fold and have been around for ..... years! But, despite having made umpteen joy fold cards I had never gone the extra little distance and created a buckle fold ... until now!

The buckle card in the open position |
The image from Beautiful You is coloured with Real Red and Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. For the first card I dressed up her hat and hemline with a line of glue pressed into Ice Stampin' Glitter. I'd received my bottle of Snowfall Accents Puff Paint by the time I made the second card (below) so I used that and then added some of the Ice glitter on top for sparkle.
