Squash Card

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I wanted to make a fun fold card for a dear friends birthday so I 

decided to try a squash card.   You can tell best by the

third picture how is squashes up to fold.  

It was less complicated than I expected.  The base is a 

8 1/2" by 8 1/2" piece of double sided patterned paper.

You score at 4 1/4 " diagonally and vertically so

that it is quartered.   Burnish the score lines.  Then score

diagonally from both corners, burnish well.

I just eyeballed sizes for the front and two inside layers.

The flower and leaf are part of new set  from 

Altenew: Mini White Splendour Anemone.  Colored

with Copics.

Girls Day

 Had a fun day a couple weeks ago at my house with a couple

dear friends.  We all had projects to share and enjoyed 

chatting, lunch and crafting.

 

 Diane had the cute duck card and the inlaid flower card:

 

Shirley had this darling phone card and the glitter flower

card.  We had a good laugh over who the phone card 

could be sent to, not a young person!

My two cards:

The lighthouse is a die by Die Versions.

Butterfly card is Catherine Pooler and the background

is stenciled after first blending of the card front.

 

Dad

 Thanks to all who extended birthday wished to my dad.  His

90th birthday was rough but he made it.  He died the following

day after being on hospice for about 7 month.  His last

day was peaceful and pain free, he died with my mom

and I at the bedside and while a favorite priest visited

and prayed with him.  

It will be busy here for awhile but I will be back to

card making and commenting soon.
