A Twist and Pop card I made for a card swap. This is one of my favourite folds, as I love the surprise when the card is opened ......and it's far easier to make than it looks. I chose an elephant theme for this card as the recipient had an elephant as her profile picture.
The elephant on the front of the card is from the Sweet Dixie ' Toy Giraffe and Elephant' set of dies.
The patterned paper is from a paper pad I think I bought in The Works. The baby elephants are Tonic 'Adorable Elephants' die cuts. I added a plain white, stitched panel to write the message. The pink and grey card were all snippets, so I be off to the Playground to share my card.
I am joining in the following challenges:
I've just has a wonderful weekend at a Stampin' Up retreat, where we made so many lovely projects. Here is a photo of everything I made over the two days.
What sweet elephant images on the outside and the inside Liz, and love that fold, and would also look great to send some photos to someone as a little album, beautifully done! Wow, you had a busy weekend at your retreat and a very impressive amount of things you managed to do in the time...fantastic! x
