Fun Fold Friday - Poised Peony

For my last day this week, I have made my one of my favourite types of card, a fun fold. I do get great pleasure in making fun folds as they are generally different from just a piece of card folded in half. Saying that though, any hand made simple card fold is generally really beautiful and I've seen many a gorgeous card made by some really talented people. Very clever people! Anyway I have had fun playing with the Poised Peony stamp set this week and although it hasn't any coordinating dies ...it's not been a problem. One of the reasons that I love peonies if that my mum used to have a huge Peony plant just beside her front door. It was a deep red, sort of Cherry Cobbler meets the retired Rich Razzleberry colour. Gorgeous!

Anyway, I made 2 cards for today, one landscape and I have tried one portrait! I believe it's called a centre, stepper fold card. I started making the Petunia Pop card first and really enjoyed the process so as I had a piece of the Peach Pie card also on my desk, I made another but this time a protrait one.

I used the new In Colour DSP on the Petunia Pop card and the Full of Life DSP for the Peach Pie card.            2 amazing bundles of gorgeous, unctious designer series paper!

Both cards were finished in a similar way and I have really had fun playing this week. Cary will be back on Monday so please stop by to see what she has been making.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back in just over a week so until then, please take care, stay safe and as always....

KEEP ON CRAFTING

Fun Fold Friday - Sketched Butterflies

 Hello from me for the last time this week, I must say that I have absolutely loved working with the Sketched Butterflies and I will continue to play with them in weeks to come. My fun fold Friday card today is a reverse double gate-fold card. I guess that's what it's called anyway. 

I used White Thick card for the card base and covered the relevant places with paper from the Full of Life pack of DSP. They really are so full of colour too, I love them! Using some of the left over pieces in the pack I have coordinated them with some of the Petunia Pop cardstock. Some squares placed diamond shape on the front and lots of butterflies scattered around made this a very simple card. 

I started with a piece of card 27cm by 14.85cm (10,5/8" wide by 5,7/8" high) I scored at 3.5cm and 8.5cm (1,3/8"  and 8,3/8") from both sides of the card base and burnished all of the score lines. The rest was decorating and sentiments. I used Stylish Shapes for the Stitched Squares and the coordinating dies from the Sketched Butterflies. I completed the card by adding some of the matching 2024 - 2026 In Colour Resin Dots. I do hope that you like it?

 

 Thank you for stopping by. Cary will be back on Monday to share some more of her creations with you so please come and join her too.

I will return the following week but as always until I return please 

TAKE CARE, STAY WELL BUT MOST DEFINITELY.....

KEEP ON CRAFTING!
