I do believe in fairies

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a great week! It’s so hard to believe we’re a couple days into the month of August already! I’ve been saying for years that once my sister’s birthday hits on the 8th, Christmas is here in no time! I’m delighted to share that I’m once again guest designing for Penny’s Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog! One of my projects scored a win at Penny’s back in mid-June so I was invited to join in Challenge #552! SheepSki Designs is our sponsor this time, so be sure to come on over and play! I was gifted the adorable Buttercup Cottage digital image for this challenge and created a swing flap fun fold with a fairy theme. I totally love how this turned out!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Doodlebug Design Buffalo Check-Woodgrain Rainbow Petite Prints 6×6 paper pad. I printed the SheepSki Designs Buttercup Cottage digital image and an old Melonheadz Fairies digital sentiment on Basis White cardstock and colored the image with alcohol markers and a Faber Castell artist pitt pen.

I cut the image with a My Favorite Things Double Stitched Square STAX, added three Eyelet Outlet Fairy Brads, and layered it on a square cut from a darker green patterned paper with a Keep It Simple Stitched Squares Nested Die. I punched out the digital sentiment with a Stampin’ Up 1-1/4″ circle punch and layered it on a slightly larger circle punched from a darker green patterned paper with a Stampin’ Up 1-3/8″ circle punch, popped up on Stampin’ Up Dimensionals.

I layered a coordinating buffalo check patterned paper on the inside and stamped a sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Keep It Simple Birthday sentiment stamp set. The final photo shows the card folded flat for mailing. A ‘fun’ fold, for sure! ;)
