FUN Challenges and a New Fold

Hello, friends.  Thanks for visiting me again for a quick little post.  If you know me at all, you're well aware that I tend to create things that fit safely inside my comfortable little bubble of creativity.  I don't often try new things; and I've said for a long time that this is likely my biggest craft fault.  Well, I was inspired by the challenge on the Christian Card Makers' Facebook Group to try what's called a "Book Fold".  I watched THIS TUTORIAL on YouTube, and I gave it a try.  This is literally my first attempt at ANY kind of special fold.

I used a pale pink cardstock to make my card base following the directions in the video.  The patterned papers are from Kaisercraft.  I used some Light Pink Gingham Ribbon, Mulberry Flowers, Stamens, Mulberry Leaves, Bundled Burlap String, and  lots of other pretty touches.  On the front sentiment, I used a sentiment stamp from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps called Words of Encouragement.

On the inside of the card, I used another sentiment stamp from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps called Farmhouse All Occasion Greetings.  I love the font used on their stamps, and they have so many great sets for most every occasion.  I invite you to check out the links I've shared today as they're sure to be a blessing to you.  Happy crafting to everyone, and have a great week.

Blessings,

Karen
