More Than One Fold

 Less than 12 weeks to Christmas so I am working on Christmas cards and

made the following one for the current Allsorts Challenge!  Liz choose my

favorite theme: more than one fold or anything goes! 

 This is actually a very easy fold. It's an A2 card and the inside white piece

is folded in half and then back to the edge.  The circle is cut our from the

front of the card and you just add your image.

Happy Birthday

 

 I was a one of the winners of an Altenew blog hope for having my name

randomly drawn.  I got a $15 gift certificate and used it for Cupcake mini 

delight, it came with the stamps and dies! I gathered up some

white paper scraps to re-use for lots of die cutting of the cupcake and

"happy" sentiment.  I also used snippets of blue card stock, and

snippets of papers from My Minds Eye .  I used Sweet Sketch 235

for inspiration on the card above. 

 

A few more cards I made: 

 

 

 Nice to build my stash of birthday cards can can be used for kids or adults.

All Creatures Great and Small

Brenda has chosen a theme of All Creatures Great or Small, or Anything goes

for the current challenge at Allsorts. 

 

I went with a Swing Fold Card and used a unicorn as my creature. 

Front:

 

Back:

This was such a fun card to make.  The  Swing Fold card was quite easy to

make.  I cute the front rectangle and patterned paper with StampIn Up Rectangle 

Stitched Framelet die  The cute Unicorn set was a birthday gift from

Simon Says Stamp years ago and it was time for it to see ink. I made the

rainbow by cutting all of my Spellbinder Perfect Touches Arches and Tag

dies  and then coloring them with Copics to match the Unicorn.  I had

some rainbow leftover so used it on the inside.  Sentiment is on the

back of the card.

 

Supplies:

 I'm having lots of fun making Christmas cards this year.  I'm trying lots of new folds & 

using stamps that have not seen ink yet.   This fold was quite simple and quick.  The sentiment

is from Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Christmas Stamp/Stencil-lots more I can do

with the rest of the set still, this sentiment is NBUS (stamp) Papers are Stampin  Up. Belly

band is embossed with a poinsettia embossing folder.  Snippets used for the sentiment 

and the gold border. I will do inside sentiments  later once my grandkids pick which 

cards and sentiments they want for teachers .

Embosssing

Lynne has picked the fun theme of Embossing: Heat or Dry for Allsorts challenge:

 My card:

 I started with a scrap piece of gold card stock and picked out a 3D embossing folder: 

Secret Garden by Gemini, that I had not used before. I went with a bright paper, 

smooshing on some gold pigment ink. My flower is from a new Penny Black

set: finest petals-I decided to emboss it in gold to keep with the embossing theme,

and colored it with Copic markers.  I cut out a white and a vellum oval (the vellum 

has a faint gold design on it to ground my image.  The Happy Birthday is a sticker placed 

on leftover gold card stock. And of course a few gold gems to complete my card.

 See what my teammates created and join the fun at Allsorts Challenge.
