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.
card design - Mixed up Craft
Silhouette Cameo
paper pad - Black and White Collection, Craft Sensations
Celebrate stamp - Polkadoodles

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.

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
