Funky Fold

Dena Rekow (The Creativity Cave) showed this funky fun-fold card on her YouTube Live channel on September 27, 2021.  This is my take on the card.

I wasn't sure what I was going to do or who would get the card.  I decided to make it more masculine, since those are the most difficult cards to design.  Everything is Stampin' Up! products.

Fancy Fold for Thanksgiving

Boy, oh boy! I'm having so much fun with this fun fold challenge.  As I said yesterday, Dena Rekow (The Creativity Cave) showed this fun-fold card on her YouTube Live channel on August 30, 2021.  She challenged her viewers to make one of their own so, of course, I had to try it out.  I love this card!

I decided to branch out and make a Thanksgiving card.  Mostly everything is Stampin' Up! products except for the DSP; it's a paper pack that I've had for about ten years, and every fall I try to use it in some sort of creation.

Fancy Fold for Christmas

Earlier this week, I watched Dena Rekow's YouTube Live channel (The Creativity Cave).  She showed this really easy fun-fold card and challenged her viewers to make one of their own.  Not being one to shy away from a challenge, I decided to go for it.

I've been having fun coming up with our Christmas cards, and I am determined to be done by Thanksgiving!

Just a note

I decided that it's time to go back to my creative roots and started with Sketch #3 from CardzTV's Mary.  I used some of my Stampin' Up! stamps along with Magenta Madness ink to create the background as well as the sentiment.  I'm entering it into Cardz TV's Anything Goes Challenge #147.

Thinking of You

I started with a thick Basic White card base and then added a layer of Pumpkin Pie that I cut with one of the Ornate Frames dies and then embossed with the Painted Texture3D embossing folder to give it even more character.

I used the stamps from the Natural Textures stamp set. I chose Pacific Point, Mango Melody, Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay for my colors.  These make for a very cheery card that is sure to bring a smile to the recipient's face.

The flower was cut with the Tulip Builder punch from a scrap of Basic White and colored with Mango Melody blends.  I used Granny Apple Green blends to color the leaf and then used the coordinating colors to stamp off another one of the stamps from Natural Textures to give more dimension to the flower.  The flower and leaf were jazzed up with a swipe of Wink of Stella.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment in Pacific Point from the Beauty of Friendship set and cut out with the die from the Beautiful Trees die set.

I used the same stamp to add some interest to the inside of the card.

I hope you enjoy my project.
