Hi Everyone, my card today is for
OH! So many fun folds to choose from, I'm not usually a fold gal, so I went online, to find something I could do, and found it here. You know I hate fussy cutting, I can never get a straight line, so off to my Silhouette, to make a template. If you are as lazy as me, and can use a cutting machine, I could send you the svg cut file, I made. Just contact me via the Contact Form.
After cutting the template with white card, I then selected a paper pad, which was black and white and picked different papers, and a basic black card. These were then cut and glued together onto the main card. I die cut a sentiment in white and shadowed using the black card, to make it stand out by off setting it slightly.
One of the toppers was stamped with the image and sentiment, I was thinking of colouring it, but decided to keep it black and white. Next I die cut some balloons from the same paper pad, they were attached to the topper. All done! Such a clever fold, so much so, I may even make another in the future, or look for another to try, easier now I have the template.

this is looking down into the card, which fold flat for postage and pops up when taken out of the envelope.

That certainly is a fancy fold Faith and looks really effective in monochrome. Like you I avoid, but sometimes it's fun.

Wow Faith thats some fancy fold, what a fabulous design and the images are just perfect for it. Your so clever to sort this out, I would never be able to do that. xx
This a great fold and it looks good in mono. Well done for finding a work around to make a folded card.
This is a wonderful fancy fold and so well thought out and executed making an svg file to cut it Faith and stands out in black and white. x
Oh my goodness, what an amazing card, Faith! I have never been able to figure out complicated "fun fold" cards, but you look like a pro!
That looks amazing and really clever!
Thanks for another great DT card for The Male Room Challenge.

Great card and fun fold Faith! I never thought to cut a card base on my cutting machine (which I must admit doesn’t get as much use as it should), so thank you for the tip! X
Yep, this is definitely a fun fold! Have made quite a few of these over the years. I love yours - it's fabulous!
What a great fold. Never seen it before. Love the monochromatic scheme too. xxx
A wonderful shaped /fold monochrome card Faith. Beautifully executed too! Have a great rest of the week - Michelle x
Fantastic card love that it's black and white very stylish,but that fold template or not looks really tricky even though I have the Silhouette I don't think I could work it out . Well done you !
Marie
You did a great job on this fold -- as usual. And even smarter with that Silhouette! XOX
Faith, I love your fun fold card you created as a DT for our The Male Room challenge! The addition of the punched balloons is just the right celebratory embellishment for your birthday card!! I'll contact you via your blog page to ask for the cut file. Thanks!!! -Donna
