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!

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.
ReplyDeleteKarin 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!
