Double Fun: Playing with Paper and a New Fold

 Well, the HEAT continues and my mojo is humming along. I pulled out some pretty papers today and wanted to use them. Discovering this fun fold called a BACK fold, made the designing easy and before you know these two were done. 

The first card uses more of the feminine DSP from the Wildflower Birthday Suite (Stamping Up!) This paper comes with lots of pre-cut images and this floral bouquet was one of those. The sentiment is from Penny Black. When you lift the bouquet, the gingham card front opens to the left, and the flap and focal point opens to the right. I added gold and white twine, and gold metallic gems. 



The second card features the last bits of the SSS June Card Kit, including papers and rub ons and hand trimmed butterflies. 



Here's a look at the inside. Hopefully it gives you a better idea of how this opens. I  learned about this simple fold from Karen's blog HERE. I had such a kick from trying this out! 



Thanks so much for your visit and for your kind attention to my rambling. Have a wonderful day!

Be yourself

         Have delight in your craft 

               Make something beautiful!

Well, that fold is just the coolest thing! Thanks for the intriguing third picture which prompts me to bookmark the link you provided. What a nice way to use your pretty papers and ephemera. It looks like a fun card to make, and fun to receive as well!
