It may be raining here in Nova Scotia but I don't mind at all...that means no out door work and more craft room time. There is a silver lining for every cloud...
Today I am sharing a fancy fold card for a few challenges: Craft Hoarders Anonymous, Scor-pal and Wags'n Whiskers. The bright paper is a hoarded pad of paper I have not used since purchased...which had to have been over a year ago. Crate Paper's Random just drew me in so I had to buy it But then I did not want to cut the paper so I bought another pad as the backup. Well, I did not want to cut that either. LOL. I am my own worst enemy sometimes. Finally this week I cut it and the end result was this super sunny card.
The base was made using Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles. I die cut another sheet of it and then cut it down to make the gates. Spellbinders Elegant Ovals cut the yellow patterned paper from Random. Next, I stamped Quietfire's Live in the Moment stamp onto white die cut paper from Spellbinders' Mystical Embrace. Yes, I know the fancy fold card I made on Thursday used the same stamp but I wanted to use it again because it is such a great sentiment! I made a white bow using my new Bow-it-all and adhered it as shown. A little bling on the bow (also hoarded) was the finishing touch.
To keep this card closed, I used Velcro under the die cut sentiment stack up. On other cards I have also used a magnet to keep it closed. Here is the partially opened card...
...and fully opened...
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo
