Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog hop, where we are featuring cards with "Fancy Folds".
Welcome to the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog hop, where we are featuring cards with "Fancy Folds".
If you came here by way of Anne you are in the right place. If not, you will want to start at the beginning, so you don't miss out on anything. As usual, leave a comment for each person and you will be in the running for prizes galore :)
My first card has a fold so fancy, it's not even a fold..lol! It's called a Hinge Top card and I made it using the set Sew Fabulous (#461).
This photo shows how the top is attached with a brad and just swings up to reveal the empty spot underneath for your personal sentiment.
And a close up shot of the Silver Detail Embossing Powder (#EP257) and the Gypsy Red Velvet Glitter (#GM2005) that I used on the mat.
My second card share uses the new set Abby & Walter's Birthday (#476), and I made a Z-Fold card with an adorable sentiment I just love. It doesn't even have to be a birthday card...Who couldn't use a little happiness on a bad day, right?
Your next stop on the hop is April! She always has a great technique to share and here's the list of participants, just in case there is a hitch along the way ;)
Good luck and Happy Hopping!

Hi, Karin! Your cards are so sweet! Love the EP on the scissors, and the buttons - of course the paper colors are magnificent (as always), and the hinge element is brand new to me! Too cute!
Karin, Your first card is my favorite!! What can I say I love the way it opens. That vintage scissors is perfect Like that Z-fold as well!!
I love the hinge "fold" on your first card. The second is so bright and cheery! I love all the sparkle.
Sewing themes are one of my all time favorites! I LOVE your card!!
I really like them both, but I think my favorite is your first card. Very clever, indeed!
Beautiful cards. I like the hinge top idea. And everything is so cohesive, theme, silver scissors, sentiment and even the DP pattern. Great job.
The first card is a great idea and the second if lovely!
What really fabulous card, love all the details on them! Great Job!
Great background paper on the hinge fold card - it really goes well with the scissors and buttons... The Z-fold card is very sweet and yummy with all that bling!
Wow..these are fantastic! I totally love the layout, and the way the first card swings open..super cool.

Very clever with the hinge opening! That's a new one - and I love all your coordinating. Perfect DP's to boot! What a bright and cheery cupcake card - sure to brighten up anyone's day. Super job Karin.
Sweet cards:) They went to the show with Margaret last week to be displayed!! Like the hinge card...those are fun!
Karin, another card I haven't tried: the hinge top. Your is so sweet. I also love your z fold card. Lots of beautiful colors and glitters.
These are both great. Really like the hinge card and that silver embossing on the scissors.
Fold schmold - I love your first "fold" card! Everything is so beautifully coordinated! And it's fun!
Your second card is really colorful, sparkly, and yes, it works great for a little cheer for any occasion! Great idea for the set!
Totally different and fun cards Karin!

Beautiful cards! Love the hinge card, I have never seen that before. It's neat! Love all the glitter and the colors are gorgeous on your z fold card.

Love the first and the way it comes out

I love both of these cards for a couple of reasons. The folds are fun and not too hard and your papers & color choices are just perfect.Lovely.

Cool hinge card! I forget to use my metallic embossing powders on metal item stamps, duh!
Beautiful colors on your fold card, too!
Both cards are great, but my favorite is the hinge top card. I like the idea of a hidden message.
Great job with both of these cards... I love the flowers and foliage on the second card.. What an awesome job with the glitter... :)
how cute, wonderful to see new things that I can try.
Cute!
Great cards Karin, I really like the hinge fold. the scissors are perfect!
Your hinge card would be a great gift card holder...I will keep that in mind! Thanks for letting me scrap-lift that idea!
Hi Karin! Love the brad swing card!!! You could put a pocket on the inside to hold gift cards or tags. I think this is goin to sneak into my "gotta try that" list! Thans for sharing, Phyllis

Love the background paper on the sewing theme card and the sparkly flowers on the cupcake card. Both cards are really nice!
Both of these are beautiful Karin! ~Diane
Great idea for a folded card. I love what you did with the scissors too.
What a cute idea! Funny how those little things in a desk drawer now suddenly have a purpose! I would be happy to receive any of these in my mailbox but the cupcake is my favorite!
Super Beautiful cards love the layering and the colors the new folds you have done are super amazing. the added Sparkle is perfect and gives that wow factor. thanks for sharing
They are both beautiful, Karin! I may have to order some of that velvet glitter - it's beautiful!
I love the card that lifts on the brad 'Hinge Top Card' I have never seen this style before and I love it. Z Folds are another favourite of mine apart from Trestle cards, thanks for sharing I love your style and colours.

Both of your cards are so precious. I love the paper combo and buttons you used on the first card and love the bright cheerful colors on the second one.
Karin these are both wonderful but I am so taken with the scissors! Love the stamp and how you embossed it to really give it the metallic look, love the vintage details in the card too. Oh, and I like the new header, very pretty!
Gorgeous cards. Love them both.
Wowza! These are such fabulous card! I really love the design of the first, sewing one. Totally cool!
So much beauty there. Love the first card with the embossed vintage scissors and sentiment. The second card is lovely too. The cupcake is sooooo pretty and and so are the different elements.
Love,
M
