Today’s Hop – Fancy Folds

Don’t miss this hop! Honestly, you’ll see dozens of amazing cards, each of which has a fancy fold. For those of you who love fancy folds – hop along!

Today’s project

I have a great fancy fold for you today and it’s really quite easy. Just a couple of score lines, fold the card, and decorate! Let’s take a look.

I just love how this card came out! First, I love the Art Gallery stamp set. It makes it so easy to get beautiful images using two-step stamping. And, by varying the color combinations, you get a totally different look! For this card, I used Flirty Flamingo for the base and Poppy Parade for the overlay. Who knew those two colors would look so great together? I admit I was just playing around with some colors to see what worked! I knew I wanted colors in the red/pink family to pop against the black so I stamped a bunch of combinations and settled on this one! Plus the Granny Apple Green flowers really pop!

Today’s Color Palette

This cards starts as a 5 1/2″ X 11″ piece of Basic White cardstock scored at 1 1/4″, 5 1/2″ and 9 1/4″ along the 11″ side. The layers were cut from the Pattern Party DSP which is only available as a host. This paper has so many amazing patterns in it. And, my favorite part is that one side is brightly colored and the other side is black & white. Those are my two favorite gotos, so you can see why I love this paper. Did you know that you don’t have to host a party to get this? All you have to do is buy $150 of product from my online store and then pay $3 in overages. Or, you can buy $180 of product and get it free!

Here’s a look at one side. This is mostly the inside but the far right and far left pieces fold to be on the front.

Here’s a look at the front, although part of it folds to be on the inside.
