Congrats!

Hey everybody! Happy Fri-YAY! I’m doing the happy dance because I’m once again guesting for Creative Creases Challenge! One of my fun folds was a winner back in December and I was invited by the lovely Debbie to guest for an upcoming challenge, so here I am, just in time for Challenge #82! The Creative Creases Challenges are always ‘anything goes with a fun fold’ (preferably with stamping), so come on over and play! I created a fun hidden pocket pop up card using some favorite items in my stash! My inspiration came from Lisa Curcio’s blog – she loves fun folds as much as I do and shares quite a few of them! This one looks like a regular A2 card from the front but the magic is on the inside! ;)

I cut the fun fold card base from CutCardStock Twine 80# 12×12 cardstock and layering panels from several prints in the Keep it Simple Ruby 12×12 Collection Pack. The die cut on the front is from STAMPlorations and is one of my favorites. I finished the front with a few Keep It Simple Ruby enamel dots.

As I said above, the magic is on the inside! There is a hidden pocket with two panels, which means room for two stamped sentiments, and both of them are from the Stampin’ Up Bravo stamp set. I added ephemera from the same Ruby Collection Pack to both panels, which completed the card.

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We have 10 feline rescues. I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty lovins! ;)
