The Allsorts Challenge are celebrating their 700th Challenge this week, so help them celebrate by sharing a card in the challenge made for any special occasion.
Yesterday my great nephew became a teenager and this is the card I made for him. I usually try to make a fancy fold card as he likes to try and work out how I made it. I won a shutter card kit recently and as I'd never made one before, I used the kit as a template so I could get the measurements for this card.
The papers are from a paper pad from The Range.
It turned out to be the perfect choice of papers, as my great nephew spent his birthday with a few friends at Exmoor Zoological and Conservation Centre.
This is a little video showing how the card opens and closes.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
To make sure I don't forget how to make this style of card, I made a second one which I'll probably keep as a sample.
Wow! I loved the way it opened - and yes, I'm trying to figure it out too! I know he loved it.

Two great cards Liz,ish I could work out how it opens
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous fold and a wonderful card for your great nephew with his love of nature and animals, and the colours are great Liz. The second in shades of blue is equally perfect as a masculine card, but also will be good to keep as a reminder how to do it. Mind you I don't know whether just looking at it would be give me any clue to how the mechanics work personally..lol. x
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful,two great cards, lovely delightful colours and design x
ReplyDeleteAnother great design Liz and both perfect for the lads, perfect for our Allsorts 700th challenge celebrations, thanks so much for joining in.

What a clever card and a good idea to make templates from the kit so you have a reminder of how it works. I'm sure your great nephew loved it and enjoyed working out how it was made.

He'll be thrilled with this card. I love them both and it is a clever card. I like that even the inside circle opens and closes. Very cool, Liz.
ReplyDeleteGreat card for your nephew, and so smart to keep a template on hand. I have looked at directions and measurements I wrote down and without a sample don't even know what they are supposed to make! Thanks for sharing with us at Krafty Chicks!
