Thanks For Being My Friend

Howdy peeps! I hope you’re having a great weekend AND you’re ready for a brand new month! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Christmas [or not] BINGO Challenges and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for CBC #9 – Anything Goes with Featured BINGO Card. I created what I’m calling an upright Z-fold which features the Art by Mi Ran Fairy Lily stamp set sold by Keep It Simple. This fold has characteristics of a Z-fold, an accordion fold and a reverse easel card I made last year. I know… it’s a strange combination but I like how it turned out! :D

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Cougar 100# Smooth White cardstock and layering panels from dotted patterns in the Keep It Simple Royal 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped the Art by Mi Ran Fairy Lily image on Solar White cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers, and cut it with a Keep It Simple Stitched Rectangles Nested Die. I cut a slightly larger stitched rectangle from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil and layered them together. I stamped the sentiment from the same Fairy Lily stamp set on Cougar 80# Smooth White cardstock. I cut the rounded half with a Keep It Simple Stitched Circles Nested Die and fussy cut the lower half, and popped it up on foam squares to tuck the focal image panel under.

I cut a small panel from Cougar Smooth White, embellished it with a leftover strip of the small dotted pattern from the Royal Collection Pack and stamped a sentiment from the same Fairy Lily stamp set. I’ve included an angled view so you can see the construction.
