Make the Cards Challenge #60

7/30/2022

This week's challenge over at Make the Cards Challenge:

Today I used something old and something new!

I have an Altenew 3D embossing folder that I've (never used) that I chose as the focal portion of the card. I used black Core'dinations (American Crafts) cardstock. The sanding was done using the Core'dinations sanding block. I can't tell you how long it's been since I used this paper and sanding tool! The sentiment is also old (Hero Arts) and was inked with Versafine Onyx Black, trimmed and mounted with Scotch 3M foam tape.

This was a very quick and easy card yet it has a nice elegance to it. I'm imagining re-creating this card using other Core'dinations colors of cardstock!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO

Make the Cards Challenge #58 - Fancy Fold

It has been forever since I've participated in an online card challenge! I recently found Make the Cards Challenge site and so here I am inspired to create a fancy fold card. My card has lots going on with it, so I've broken it into three segments.

I'm not sure what to call this fold but I have made it in the past. I especially like using double sided papers for the front panel that is a fold over, and I really especially like mixing patterns using a 6x6 Paper Pack (Honey Bee) and paper and ribbon from A Muse Studio! Double rows of diecut scallops (A Muse Studio) and a narrow strip of glitter paper adds a more elegance.

I guess I could call this "a fold within a fold" because the little ATC size focal image (SU) is actually a tiny pocket card!

Here it is opened showing two pockets for tuck-ins. Two punched hearts using glitter paper embellish the left pocket and the right pocket holds a gift card. A hand written note can be tucked into the left pocket.

The inside is normally where I stamp a sentiment, but I had these Stampendous stamps in my stash and wanted to use them here. No coloring of the image other than using a Quickie Glue Pen and Stampendous glitter on the veil. The Mr. & Mrs. sentiment was heat embossed with Versafine Ink and Stampendous Silver Embossing Powder. I edged the diecut circle in Delicata Silvery Shimmer and added A Muse Studio Silver Gems.

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
