Your Fancy Fold Challenge cards

Good Morning Ladies, 

Ooh it's chilly up North, having a lovely time at Danielle's,  she is now in love with Distress Oxide Inks! 

Some absolutely amazing cards from you ladies this week  it's amazing how much difference a few extra score lines in a piece of card can make.

Here we go......

Danielle

Danielle made a stunning Easel card using the Unicorn die from StampAddictuk.com, I love the colours you have used and that lovely paper.

Thank you so much for taking part in our challenge Danielle. XXX

Brenda

Brenda has made the most beautiful Gatefold card for this weeks Fancy Fold Challenge, I absolutely love the die that you have used Brenda, is it one of the new ones that you bought from Christine Emberson's Hope&Chances shop?

I will add Brenda's description below.....

" I am using the card I made for Sue’s birthday as my CC it’s a gate fold card, the colour of the card is Soft Salmon (Creative Expressions Feltmark Texture Card) it looks a bit wishey washie in the photo in real life it’s quite a lovely colour. The die I used is Spellbinders Infinity Link Border"

Thank you so much Brenda for such an inspirational card XXX

Michele 

Michele has made a 'Wardrobe' Fold card for the Fancy Fold Challenge , I love that die Michele and the colours you have used.

Michele has left the card blank at the moment as she wasn't sure what occasion to use for.

Here is Michele's Description....

 I used an Apple Blossom Die that was free with Diecutting Essentials about 2 years ago.

I love this card Michele, everything works so beautifully together XXX

 Karen

Karen has made 2 cards for this weeks Fancy Fold Challenge, a lovely Gatefold card and a Pop up Box.

I will add Karen's description below...

Card 1:  Here’s a cc It’s a very simple gatefold card for OH’s Birthday on 16th He is a huge Chelsea fan and the image is a Wrinklies decoupage sheet from La Pashe The football was cut on ScanNCut
On the inside is an image of Chelsea’s ground and a pocket holding his gift As it’s a semi milestone birthday (65) I have bought him a Legends tour with Ron Harris (one of his heroes back in the day)
He always makes a huge fuss of me So he’ll be surprised and hopefully pleased.

Card 2: Another cc for Alan’s sister whose birthday is 17th
It’s a copy of one on front cover of DCE which Michele reviewed today
I enjoyed making it but it was a bit wasteful printing off the sheets because I couldn’t manipulate it Just a straightforward print So I have a lot of bits left over
I found trying to line up the dies to cut very fiddly- probably because I haven’t split the dies up yet So I cut a few bits on ScanNCut with a 1mm border

Thank you so much Karen for two amazing Challenge cards XXX

 Janet

Three stunning cards from Janet for this week's Challenge, 3 very different Fancy Folds.

Card 1: The basic Handbag shape was cut freehand from my Scraps. The flap is a pre-patterned/shape also from my scrap drawer. The sentiment is a Joanna Sheen die.

Card 2: This card shaped as an 'Apron' was cut free hand from a scrap piece of card. The embellishments on the apron are also from my scraps.

Card 3: This card is cut from Sue Wilson (Astoria Decorative Accent) using mirror card. The middle embellishment sits on a piece of Tonic card.

Three stunning Challenge cards Janet, thank you so much for taking part in the challenge this week XXX

 Maria

Maria made an amazing and technical Star Fold card for the Fancy Fold Challenge, I love it Maria, I love the paper you have used too, it works really well with the card style.

That intricate topper works really well with the card too.

Thank you so much Maria for taking part, I hope you have a lovely time with your New Sister. XXX

Lynda

Lynda has been busy this week, she has made two stunning and very inspirational cards for the weeks challenge. 

The first is an absolutely stunning Z fold card, that has a pocket full of die cut flowers, those flowers look stunning Lynda, this would be a perfect card for someone in hospital as the flowers are so beautiful and would really be a perfect replacement for real ones.

Lynda's second card is a pop up box card, which is from a magazine freebie believe it or not, It maybe the one that Michele featured yesterday with the tools and box

Thank you so much Lynda for making two fantastic challenge cards despite feeling really unwell XXX

 Margaret 

Margaret has made two lovely challenge cards, the first one is an Easel style card with a beautiful die cut top.  The die is a Crafters Companion Edge die and looks beautiful cut in the colour card, it matches perfectly with the free SU paper that you have used.

Margaret's second card is a lovely tent fold card, using the most beautiful paper, the card is finished with a Label cut in a matching colour using the 'Lovely Label' punch. 

Thank you so much Margaret for taking part in this weeks challenge XXX

That cute die cut topper is just lovely and this style of card really shows off the centre of the card.

Val I am sure that this .card will fly off the shelf at the shop.
