Candlelight Card

 

Hello again!  I'm here with another easy "fancy fold" card that can be displayed with a battery-operated tea light for an even more special effect!  It's a little something extra that takes a card to a whole new level.

Here's what it looks like opened for display.  

You'll need one 4.25 x 11 inch sheet of card stock to make this fold, plus another 4.25 x 7 inch piece.  Both are scored at 1.5 and 5.5 inches.  Die cut the window opening of the smaller piece before adhering it to the card to form the special fold.   

Here's a closer look at the ornament, hanging from die-cut "branches" with a couple of bead strands as a  "garland."  

You might notice that the bow at the bottom of the card front forms the top of the box portion when the card is opened.  The front of my card is actually upside down when the card is opened.  If your display will be visible from both sides you might consider flipping the elements on the card front so that both sides will be right-side-up when it is opened.  (Hopefully that all makes sense!)
