Fancy Fold Cards

Welcome to my new follower, Barb Finnical.  I'm sure Barb would love you to visit her blog HERE and see all her beautiful creations.

I have a couple of Fancy Fold cards to share today.

I own a die which die cuts a slightly bigger version of this style of card, but I decided to follow the instructions HERE for making the base card by hand.
I didn't have a plain circle die big enough, so I drew round a plate to make the base card, cutting the circle out by hand.  The small circle is a Memory Box 'Stitched Scallop Circle' die cut.  The flowers and leaves are from the Sue Wilson 'Passion Flower' set and I added tiny pearls to the centre of the flowers.  All the patterned paper was snippets from a paper pad from The Range.  The papers are 12 x 12, so plenty of snippets are left over every time a use a new sheet. 

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
My second card is a Double Z Fold nautical card.
I used a Joanna Sheen ' Lighthouse' die and the patterned paper is from a Trimcraft 'Sail Away' paper pad.  The embossing folder is a Cuttlebug one, 'Anchors Aweigh'


I am joining in the following challenges with this card:

  11. What an awesome fancy fold on your card, and for you to cut the base by hand shows amazing paper cutting skills. Love the colors on the flowers and the DSP on the round card you shared with us over at THE FLOWER CHALLENGE, thank you.

  13. Gorgeous cards, Liz! The floral rocker card looks amazing but my favourite is the lighthouse! I just made a lighthouse card the other day for a family member - she requests lighthouse cards - so maybe I'll refer back to this one of yours for next year. Thanks for the inspiration - I love it!

  17. I love the stepper rocker card Liz and such beautiful papers in turquoise, navy and yellow, and the added flowers and leaves look great..a perfectly cut out base circle too. Another great shape with the double 'z' fold for the second card with a wonderful sea theme and I adore the paper with the yachts and the added embossing has the perfect coordinating design, and finished with that super large lighthouse, so bright and summery. x
