Hello and welcome! It’s time for yet another challenge at Seize the Birthday and this time, our leading lady Barbara has chosen the topping ‘Fancy Fold‘. Of course, we always have the ‘Anything Goes’ option open as well, as long as your project is birthday-related, feel free to join the party!
This challenge was a bit tough for me, since I rarely make anything other than a normal rectangle card, so I had to look around for ideas in Pinterest and Youtube before I decided on a relately easy one. This video here is where I got the idea from. Here’s what I created –
I used a combination of old and new stamps to make this card. For the focal, I used Altenew Peony Scrolls, stamping it on white cardstock and watercoloring it using Distress Inks. I then fussy cut them.
For the background, I used Simon Says Stamp Loving Thoughts on a soft grey cardstock and trimmed it. I added a border of black cardstock stripe, just against the fold.
For the sentiment, I used Winnie & Walter In a Word: Celebrate, die cut several times from black cardstock and adhered together for dimension.
And that’s my card. Hop over to the Seize the Birthday challenge to checkout the creations of the guest and the DT, it is sure to give you more inspiration.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
