X Fold Card

Welcome to my new follower, Caty of 'Katyazur sobre el espejo del mar'.  I hope you can stop by my blog again soon.

Butterfly Challenge #141 began today and unlike the last one where I just about got my card made before the challenge closed, this time I'm joining in at the beginning of the challenge.  The theme is 'X for X Fold'.  You can find a tutorial HERE.

The patterned paper was from an old paper pad called 'Riverbank Revels'. I made the frames with a Memory Box 'Stitched Scalloped Circle' die and a plain Spellbinders circle die.  I used an SB circle die for the swinging circle.  I die cut two circles and put them back to back with the thread running through the middle.  I put a Simply Creative 'Butterfly' die cut on both sides. On one side I stamped 'Happy Birthday' and on the other, 'It's YOUR day!'.




I am joining in the following challenges:
