NOW...
Let's get started HOPPING !!
For the second day of the Autumn Fun Blog Hop, I decided to do a technique that I just recently learned. It's sort of a combination of a gatefold card and an easel card. When it is closed, it just looks like your standard gatefold card with a belly band.
The surprise comes when you take off the belly band and open it up. Voila!!! Pretty cool, no?
The MFP Stamp Shop set that I used on this card is Scarecrow.
I decided to make a second card today, using a technique to which I often return -- the Side Step Card.
The MFP Stamp Shop sets used on this card are Fall Apples and Lesson Learned.
Now it's time to visit the rest of the hop again. Here's the Design Team:
Lois (that's me)
