I always take some cardmaking resources with me when we stay in our caravan in North Devon. I also keep basic craft tools etc in the caravan so I'm ready to go if we get bad weather. These are two of the cards I made on a rainy day during one of our holidays.
The patterned papers are from The Works. The sentiment is a stamp from the Stamping Up 'Humming Along' set, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Nocturne'. The flowers are Sue Wilson's 'Petite Dianthus' die cuts with tiny pearls in the centres. I bought the die set from a charity shop and this was its first outing.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card.
I made a similar card using the same papers and flower dies. I used a 'thanks' sentiment die from Crafters Companion..... another charity shop buy used for the first time.
The cards fold flat for posting.

We stayed in our caravan last week and had a lovely long walk along the beach at Westward Ho!. (Do you know that Westward Ho! the only town in the UK to have an exclamation mark as part of its name? It's also named after a book by Charles Kingsley.) I took this picture as a memory of the amazing patterns the sea leaves on the sand.
Liz, I love both of your fun fold cards! I saw the Thank you one over on Crafty Catz and had to come take a closer look! I hope you'll add both cards to the linky at Creative Creases Challenge where it's always anything goes with a fun fold card: https://secretstamper.com/category/creative-creases-challenge/
ReplyDeleteAlso, thank you for all the many kind comments you've left on my blog posts over the years! You are so encouraging!
You caravan holidays sound wonderful. Your cards are great too xx
ReplyDeleteSuper cards - such a good idea to take cardmaking supplies along for an occasional rainy day. Looks as if you had some nice sunshine and blue skies for at least some of the time
ReplyDeleteGreat fold again!
ReplyDeleteAnd love your photo! Enjoy the weekend!

Great folds and lovely papers Liz. Fab photo of the beach at Westward Ho …coincidentally I went for a long walk this afternoon with my husband on the beach at Crosby, looking at the. iron Men - beautiful in the sunshine! xx
ReplyDeleteWe love Camping and I always bring along some crafty items for when hubby goes fishing (I don't like to fish). Your card design is amazing, and I'm envious of your charity shop find! Thanks for joining us at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge.

I sat for long minutes drooling over that wide expanse of walkable beach, Liz! And what cool information about the name! You know how I think of you as the Queen of Folds and these two are fantastic and so precise. That first one is a great way to use beautiful pp! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThose are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGreat fold, and paper!
Lovely photo of the beach!
I love the cards Liz, and the photo of the each is amazing! We’re having a few days in Folkestone in our old motorhome, for my birthday. Is it a static or tourer you have? I too take craft bits, this time just some colouring to do xxx
ReplyDeleteWe have a tourer, but keep it on a seasonal pitch now so it never moves. We can use it all year round on the site we’re on, which is a bonus. Our previous site was only open April to October.
DeleteYou chose a good week for your break Liz, one of our boys was down at Woolacombe for surf last week and said he had some sunny days. I recall from many years ago a lovely tea room at WestwaRD HO, there again there are lots down there!
ReplyDeleteLovely fold to this one.

How lovely to get to Devon for a week and be able to walk along the beach under cloudless blue skies and blow all those winter cobwebs away!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fancy fold cards here Liz, the papers and colours are so pretty.

Two wonderful cards with your pretty papers. For some reason the second one really appeals to me the most.
ReplyDeleteOH WOW! This is just awesome Liz! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Love Those Pretty Papers challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

It's lovely to be able to get away to the coast in your caravan, and for the time of year recent weather has been brighter and more springlike which is encouraging but great to have card supplies to hand in case of a bad day. We have been to Westward Ho! but not for a long time. This is a wonderful shape and using some pretty papers, and you do these sors of cards so well Liz, and the added yellow flowers look great...a super thank you card. x
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing picture of the beach! Brings back memories of when we had a travel trailer. I generally just looked at stamping magazines or did some cross stitch for cards. You made great use of your rainy day! Love the contrast of the 2 beautiful papers--great cards!
ReplyDeleteTwo delightful makes, I always admire your "paper engineering"
ReplyDeleteKathyk
Two great fancy-fold card designs using these lovely papers.
ReplyDeleteLorraine
Love these folds Liz and super papers too. That's a glorious photograph too xx
ReplyDeleteThese cards are absolutely beautiful! I really love the funfold and the colors you used. It is not very pleasant when it is raining during your vacation, but when you have crafting stuff with you, then everything is allright!. I also take some stuff with me on vacation so I can craft there. Thank you for playing in the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge. I hope to see more of your creations in the future. ❤️
