Just Inklined Blog Hop

Welcome to the Just Inklined Blog Hop this morning featuring Fancy Fold cards. If you arrived here from Karen's Blog you are in the right spot. If you want to go back to the beginning and our hostess this month that would be Joyce.  I don't know how fancy the fold is, (ribbon straps should work), but I wanted to feature this fun image and it isn't just placed on the card front so that makes it fancy in my book.

 

The image is one of 4 you receive and oh the possibilities are endless :) the sheets are available here:  

 And for the inside of the card:

 

The ribbons hold the two layers together and you just flip it open to show the sentiment which was hand written.

The next stop along the Hop is the super talented Heidy, who I know will have something extraordinary to show you.  As always leave a comment on each of the DT members blogs for a chance to win the image they have used for their creation.

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day.

Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge--Fancy Folds

What a fun Challenge our super talented Pat came up with for the Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge this week--Fancy Folds.  I  used this fold a couple of years ago and loved it...but I kind of forgot about it until this challenge and I wanted to use it for these images:

 

The fold is called a Shutter Tri-Fold and this particular version is a full card front .  The creator of the template is Bonnie Szwalkiewicz and the link to the post and template I followed is here.  I colored the Carolers Three with copics and added styrofoam snow and bakers twine before I mounted it on Bo Bunny Christmas dp.   For the narrow tri fold sections I used other portions I used the reverse side of the dp for the blue section onto which I have tied a piece of lace and more bakers twine.  A trio of buttons are on the blue middle section.
On the light dp sections top and bottom I added paper roses .  My Chimney Sweep which was also colored with copics and then cut out in a more rounded style to go on the very right side of the card.  Here is a close up of the Chimney Sweep:

Isn't he just the most adorable little guy.  I loved coloring him.  I see a few Christmas Cards with him on them !!!!
Be sure to stop by the Mo's Challenge Blog and see what the rest of the DT chose for their Fancy Folds...I can't wait to see !!!  Stop by the store and pick up some new images and play along with the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful creative day.

Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge--Fancy Folds!

The Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge this week is awesome and the hostess is Paola who chose the theme, create a card with fancy folds.  Well, I don't know how fancy they are but I always like to make this card:

Wouldn't this little" Shy" be a perfect Thank you card?!?  I chose the dp first as I always use double sided cardstock for this project.  It is made from 1 8 1/2 X 11 sheet.  The instructions for this project are on SplitCoast Stampers  Resources section.  It is called a Diagonal Double pocket card.

Because I chose the dp first, which I seldom do, I colored Shy's little dress to match the seafoam green of the dp.  Instead of sponging around the outside of the die as I usually do I used two different color copic markers to create a golden ray behind Shy.  I like the way it turned out.  Did I mention she was colored with copic markers, I'm sure you were wonderfing LOL.

I used my new MS border punch for the loopy border on the edge of each diagonal fold, two white grosgrain ribbons with knot bows, a few brads to hold the pieces together and my sweet Shy angel is ready to present a tag message added to the pocket, or a gift card would fit nicely for a Birthday gift.

Be sure to check out the rest of the DT projects, I'm anxious to see them all myself.  I haven't had a chance to peek yet... 

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to stop by the store and see what Mo has added, and you just know you can't live without :).
