CCEE2043 More Than One Fold

Frances asked the CCEE Stampers to make a card this week with more than one fold.  It could be a Gatefold card, a Z-Fold card, Easel card, etc.

I recently saw a Creek Bank Creations YouTube video in which Julie Creek made a very clever tri-fold slimline card.  This is my version of her card.  The background on the second layer is called Bokeh Background, one of my favorite inking techniques.  And that large Stampin' Up butterfly lends itself very well to a slimline card.

Check out the CCEE Stampers blog for some more cards with more than one fold.

I decided to add another card onto this post.  Karen Burniston is releasing a new batch of winter dies, which are available for pre-order now and will be shipping the first week of November.  I have a sneak peek card using dies from this release which fits in today's "More Than One Fold" challenge.  It's a fun pop-up, enclosed in a gate-fold card.

Inside the gate-fold card is this cute penguin floating along on an iceberg.  He is made with the Karen Burniston Surprise Ball Pop-Up, the Bitty Ball Pop-Up, and the new Animal Add-Ons 3 set.

I hope you like my "bonus" card.

CCEE1702 Tri-fold Card

Vicky continues this week as hostess for the CCEE Stampers blog and asked the team members to each make a tri-fold card.  If you know me, you know that I love fun-fold cards; so this one was a treat.  My card uses mainly patterned paper from the Under the Sea collection from Heartfelt Creations.

Check out the CCEE Stampers blog to see some more creative cards from the rest of the team.

I was in Joann a week or so ago when they were having a customer appreciation sale.  All their Spellbinders dies were 40% off, and I had a coupon for 25% off everything (sale items included).  I had been looking at this Ornate Artisan Tags set for a while -- and this was the time to buy it!

Stampin'B Challenge #51 - Color challenge

As hostess this week, I asked everyone to make a card using purple, yellow and green. I wanted to make something a little different, so I made an Easter trifold pocket card, using the tutorial in the Resources section of Splitcoaststampers.

My card base is two-sided designer series paper from Stampin’ Up. I stamped the butterfly from the Spring and Easter 2010 set from Mark’s Finest Papers: Speedy the Cat Collection and sponged on the yellow and purple ink. I also stamped it onto a piece of MFP Naturals Ivory and cut it out using circle nesties, popping on the cut-out butterfly. The band around the pocket card is Basic Grey’s Wisteria DP, matted in Momma’s Favorite Purple. The lily (from the same set as the butterfly) on the insert is colored with Copic markers. I added a small band across the bottom, a punched-out butterfly on the tab at the top, and the Easter sentiment.
