Block Card

Another 'new to me' fold, following the instructions on the Nifty Noodles Crafting Facebook page.  The card base was made with just one rectangle of white card and was so much easier to make than it looks.

I decorated the card with squares of white and black dotty papers. The flowers were made with punches.


I decided to leave the back undecorated and stamped a sentiment from the SU 'Humming Along' set of stamps.   The card folds flat for posting.

I am joining in the following challenges:

    Well, you say it was easy but I'm not convinced..lol. I love the black, white and red combination with the dotty papers layered onto red and the pretty added red flowers with the white centres on alternate blocks and then on the top of each of the steps, a great finishing touch to a fabulous card Liz. x

      It really is easy. Just a rectangle scored in squares with a T shape cut out, then just a couple of cuts and it’s ready to fold. xx

    One of my fav card shapes. Never ceases to amaze me how it packs flat and then pops open just like that! Love your colourway. Just dropped The Doc off at the hospital. Had to walk him to the door so he couldn't chicken out.have to sit and wait for them to ring me to go and pick him up which could be some time. Catching up in blogland with everyone whilst
    I wait. Hugs Mrs A.

    This is unusual and certainly looks complicated - you are so good at trying these shaped cards. I tend to chicken out I have to admit.
