INAS #117 Fancy Folds

 Good Morning,

We have a new challenge at International Art & Soul Challenge #117 "Fancy Folds".

Warning - There are a lot of photos so you might want to grab a cup of coffee or tea and join me.

I know that fall isn't here yet but I have been in a fall mood.  We have had some chilly nights here in Maryland and it is really making me look forward to fall.

Here is my card:


Lots of folds!  Here is what it looks like folded up and ready to mail.




When I worked on it, I laid it out flat. The paper I used was Carta Bella "Fall Break" and misskate.com "Sweater Weather"



I used a stamp (that is one of my favorites) that I bought about 14 years ago. I used my square die from Spellbinders called Card Creator 8.




All of the things that I love about Autumn.  I love this time of year.

So yesterday was my birthday!  Whooo Hooo?  I can't believe I am 64 years old. How did that happen?  I feel like I am 18 but my body say no.  Anyway, all of the things that I use for crafts have been breaking.  First my computer, then my printer and my phone.  My husband gave me the best birthday present.  It is a new printer.  The thing that is cool about it is that you only have to change the ink every two years.




I put a bottle of the ink on top the printer so you could see how large it is. I am so excited!  Can't wait to use it.  My last printer printed 12x12 but I never used that feature.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

  6. Chriss, congratulations on your birthday! I turned 70 this year and every time I look in the mirror I wonder what happened to that 38-yr old me!! I'm going strong, like you! Such a sweet hubby to buy you the printer. I keep hoping mine will break so I can get a new one with the ink tanks instead of cartridges. You are so lucky!!! Than you for sharing your great "fun fold" card with us at Double Trouble!!! -Donna

  7. What a great fold for a fall card... and you've covered Fall embellishments and sentiments for everything you can think of... it's strange how a flat photo of your fold makes it look fairly easy to assemble; but I've made a similar card and the folding is the trick... fun card. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble and Creative Creases.

  12. Wow, what a beautiful fall project! I like how you managed to fill this kind of folded card with so many unique paper snippets, and the fall colours you used are really wonderful. It makes me looking forward to the change of seasons even though I'm not particularly fond of the cold and rainy weather that comes with it. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge. And happy belated birthday!

    Hugs, Veronika

  13. Delightful fun fold card and perfect for Autumn, Chriss! Thank you for playing along with us at Double Trouble #92. (Lucky you with the new printer. Mine takes huge toner cartridges because it is a laser rather than an ink jet printer. They last forever.)
