Hello, Stampers! I’m excited to share a fresh take on an old favorite. A few years ago, I showed you how to make a cascading panels card in landscape orientation (you can check out that post here). Today, we’re switching things up with a portrait-style cascading panels card. I’ll be using the Stampin’ Up! Reindeer Days Suite to create this delightful fun fold design!
The base of this fancy fold card is made with Real Red cardstock, giving it a bold and festive foundation. I added layers of Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper to the outside panels for a playful and cheerful look. Inside, I included a Basic White layer, where I stamped the sentiment in Garden Green ink, using the Reindeer Fun stamp set. To add a special touch, I decorated the upper left and lower right corners with holly, stamped in Garden Green and Real Red ink, tying the whole design together beautifully.
The card is secured with a Real Red belly band, which adds a polished touch. For the focal point, I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a circle from Real Red cardstock and showcased the reindeer on top. The reindeer was stamped in Crumb Cake ink, colored with Stampin’ Blends, and then cut out using the Reindeer Fun Dies. Check out the video tutorial below to learn how to create your own Portrait Cascading Panel fun fold card!
