CCC - Nov - Fun Fold

Hello there!  It's time for the reminder post over on the Christmas Craft Creations blog.  Our theme this time is Fun Fold.  I've made a W fold card.  It uses a standard A2 size cardbase and then has a strip of paper on the inside folded like a W.  You can attach different shapes, images or diecuts.  It's fast and easy.

Recipe:
The Paper Studio - Merry & Magical cardstock - (8 1/2 x 11)
Tim Holtz - Darling Deer dies
Tim Holtz - Retro Merry Christmas die - Merry on the front
Tim Holtz - Alphanumeric Stretch Upper dies (Noel inside the card)
black glitter cardstock

Thanks for stopping by today.  Come play along with us at CCC.  Have a great crafty day!

With Sympathy

 Hello there!  I'm popping in to share a sympathy card I had to make.  I never like making these.  It never gets any easier.  In the end I did change this card because I didn't like how the sentiment wasn't very readable.  I took a strip of the yellow paper and covered it and re-stamped the sentiment.  I then mailed it off and forgot to get another picture.  

Supplies:
Distress Ink - Rusty Hinge, Mustard Seed, Squeezed Lemonade
Tim Holtz - Stacked Deckle die
Tim Holtz - Bricked stencil
Tim Holtz - Flower Garden stamps
Unity Stamp Co - Girl Truly stamp kit (sentiment)
black embossing pwd + heat gun
Diamond Stickles
pop dots
waterbrush

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a blessed day.
