Today is SCS on my blog, where I like to include a scripture verse or faith filled sentiment. So for today my sentiment of scripture is on the inside of this card.
I was inspired to make this fun fold card so I could submit it to the challenge at:
I first heard of this fold from The Cow Whisperer's Creative Cards. I'm not sure exactly of the name of it, but It looked easy enough to do and also a lovely way to use a standard size piece of card stock. Which really made my day. I went a bit out of my comfort zone again by using a floral background. I'm not to good with the floral patterned papers. It always seems a bit busy to me. However, I stuck with it. There was a bit of fussy cutting in this project today, and coloring, which was ok since Hubby had to work it kept me busy crafting. I was also able to paint up a few more rocks. I'll post a picture of those too. I tried to add a few pictures of the cards so you could see exactly how it opens and closes, and then thought why not try and take a video with my camera, so I'll add that on this post too. 
The stamps featured in today's card are:
Stampin Up: Grateful Bunch
Stampin Up: Blossoming Basket
and the inside sentiment is purchase from a local store.
I really do like fancy folds, however I'm always concerned that the receiver might not know how to open them, or display them such as the case with the easel card. I just assume everyone knows about cards, but that's not always true. So I don't make them so often, although I and my kiddos love them.
So here are the rocks I painted and glazed this afternoon, just in case you're wondering I didn't paint the bit Wisconsin one. It's actually a copy of the magnet I have in the house, so I thought it would work lovely on that big stone. Sometimes I put stickers on them, how painting is more fun.
And lastly here is my quick little video of the card.
Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit.
Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping

very fun card for the September fun fold challenge. Thanks for playing along with us at TSOT!
ReplyDeletePatty - clever card! I've seen this fold before, but never with a rectangle "holding" embellishment like your flower basket. I like your version much better than the blossom holder! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us at Try Stampin' on Tuesday, as well as your great tutorial! -Donna
ReplyDeleteWow, so clever! I totally have to try this, truly a FUN fold, lol. Your images and papers are lovely! And the extra images really show exactly how to achieve this! Thanks so much for playing at TSOT!
ReplyDeleteI like the fold on this card - that's one I haven't seen before - I like the way it sits up under that little bit at the top. Thanks for playing with us at TSOT
