Getting fancy with paper

Happy Thursday!!
Are you ready for another of The Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenges? This week we have a fun one for you! This weeks challenge is to use a fancy fold on your project.
Here is my sample -

I incorporated the fancy fold in my card base. Take a look at the below picture to get an idea of how I folded the card.

I found a tutorial for this type of card months ago and thought I had it bookmarked but obviously not because I can not find it! I thought it was a tutorial by Claudia Rosa but i could not find it on her blog so if you remember seeing the tutorial, please let me know so I can give them credit :)

Let me give you some details about the card.
I started out with a 6x12 piece of cardstock and when folded, the card measures 4x4. The pattern paper is MME Six by Six - Blink of an Eye. The frame and sentiment are from Gina K Designs Dreams stamp set. The doily is a Cheery Lynn die called French Pastry Doily which I picked up at a local scrapbook store.
I used a ribbon to create a belly band to hold the card together when folded.

I hope you will check out the rest of the fancy fold creations in the Twisted Thursdays group and be inspired to play along with the challenge this week!

Enjoy your day and thank you so much for stopping by!

Good Morning!

I have a quick post this morning.
Once a month I get together with some stamping friends for an afternoon of stamping and chatting. Today is the day we get together and I wanted to show you a sample of the project I will be sharing with them.
It's a shaped easel card and I am really please with how it turned out. I also dug out some of my SU papers and stamps...I really need to use my SU stamps more. I forgot how much I love some of them.
This first picture is of it all folded up. The flower image is from SU's Bloomin' Beautiful and is colored with copics and I added stickles to give it some sparkle. All the papers but the Ivory is SU. The ivory is Gina K's.

This picture shows the card opened.

And here is the top view which gives you a better view of the sentiment which is from Gina K's Framed Flowers.

So do you think the girls will like this? I sure hope so!

Thank you for checking in with me and have a wonderful rest of your Sunday!!
