It's been quite a while since I've blogged, but my good friend
Linda told me about a
fun challenge at the
Die Cut Divas Challenge Blog.
So I decided to join in.
This month's challenge
is to make a fun fold card. I have to admit I think I've only ever made a couple
of fun fold cards before, but after making one for the challenge, I think I'll
be making lots of different kinds of fun fold cards from now on. So the card I
made, using a z fold design, is a Valentine for my hubby.
Die - Renaissance Heart Fancy Die (Hero Arts), Stamp -
Celebrate Everyday
(Hero Arts) and Paper - Romantic Patterned Scrapbook Paper (Crelando)
I have a few different heart dies in my stash but one of my favourites is a Hero
Arts die called Renaissance Heart Fancy Die. For this card I die cut the heart
from silver glitter card and backed it with a light pink pearlescent card.
The z fold base was so quick and easy to make by just scoring the front of the
card down the centre and folding it back on itself.
I used paper from a paper pad I found in Lidl over a year ago to cover the card
front and inside. I left the centre panel blank so I could write my message on
it. The sentiment was heat embossed using Versamark and silver embossing powder.
I thought the sweet little sparkly birds were so cute. There's lots more sparkle
on the card but we've had cloudy day after cloudy day here since I've made the
card, so I didn't capture it very well in the photos.
