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:
Wonderful card, Liz! The Schommelkaart is one of my favorite fun folds. Thank you for joining us at Double Trouble Challenge #117.

These are both fun folds. You never disappoint when you make these kinds of cards. These papers are great on both cards. I really like the nautical card and the rocker is so cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteStay healthy and safe.

Love the 2nd card; nice foiled and so great for a man! But the first... wow; it looks like a fabric a had years ago... beautiful! Hugs, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteGorgeous 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!
ReplyDeleteWowsers, stunning and imaginative Liz, well done! I'm really slack at doing fancy folds the double Z card is really eye catching!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and may God bless you and keep you and all whom you love safe and well.

Liz, what a beautiful stepped rocker card! Definitely met our Double Trouble "S'More" challenge with all the lovely layers and fun fold!! Thank you so much for sharing the link to the tutorial, and for sharing your creativity with us at DTPC!!! -Donna
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteLiz, I have never made a rocker card but you may have just inspired me! I hope you will enter your double Z card in the Creative Creases Challenge #38. Thank you for sharing your talent with CCC.
