I had seen directions for this technique both on Splitcoaststampers and the Technique Junkies Newsletter CD, Move It. It is called a Curved Fold Card. I stamped, colored and cut out the four images from today's set (Country Charm) and placed them on the curved pieces, with the barn glued to the back. I added a little punched-out fence and a cloud, and I was done.
Cutesy is not my style, but I had fun with this set. My second card uses several of the images from this fun set, as well as a chicken-wire embossing folder.
Again, I invite you to check out all the cards made by our talented design team members and comment on their blogs for a chance to win a free stamp set. Here's the Design Team:
