Hello dear friends and followers, so happy to have you join me today. Here it is the last weekend of October and thus also my last challenge for the month as hostess of 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown (52CCT). I've had such fun being the October DT hostess for 52CCT. It's always a bit nerve-wracking I think to choose the challenges and then cross your fingers and hope that people like what you've put out there for them to try. So... that being said, here's what I chose for the 52CCT - Technique Challenge #22:
I have long admired the talents of so many crafters when it comes to cards with a fancy fold. I decided to challenge not only you - but myself too, as I have only just started learning how to make different folds for my cards. My DT card to share with you today is a new fold for me - take a look:
I'm so tickled with how it turned out. But...I must admit as I was making my cuts and trying to measure it out I did start to doubt myself and asked myself "what were you thinking when you picked this challenge?". LOL
Here's a side view to show the fold a bit more:
I'm honestly so happy I gave this a go and plan to make a couple more now that I know what I'm doing. To see some more terrific fancy fold Christmas cards - please go visit the rest of the lovely ladies on the 52CCT DT. I hope that you will decide to join us this week and I can't wait to see what you've made.
I'm also entering this card in the Merry Monday Challenge #80 which is to create a Christmas card that either uses music or is inspired by a Christmas carol. Can you guess what my Carol is...really more of a song than a carol - but it was always my kids favorite...Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer :o)
Well... since I stayed up so late getting my card together, I guess I'd better get myself to bed now and get some beauty rest (a gal can never have too much of that as far as I'm concerned). Til next time friends...hugs and happy crafting! D
WOW!! Great job!! I have never made one of those and it looks awesome!! Any tips you can share for us newbies would be much appreciated!! xo

ReplyDeleteI love everything about this card! You look like an old hand at Fancy Folds, I'd say. Rudolf is so cute and those papers are just perfect. Thanks for the challenges this October, I had a ball!
