Plaid Leaves Fun Fold!
Ok. So, I DO have a Fun Fold ready to post!! This is one of the cards we did this month in my 5/$10 card class as well! I use this fold a lot, as it is awesome, easy, and looks great!
Measurements:
- Rich Razzleberry: 1/2 sheet, 2 pcs 3 1/8" x 4 3/8"
- Sahara Sand: 4" x 5 1/4", 2" x 5 1/4"
- Plaid Tidings(N): 2 1/2" x 3 3/4"
- Fold the Rich Razzleberry card in half, and then fold the front back in half, again, on itself, as shown.
- Attach Sahara Sand quarter to the inside. Run the Sahara Sand strip through the Tasteful Textures Embossing Folder (one of my favorites - this is a "must have"!!)
- Cut 2 large Stitched Scallop rectangles from the 2 pieces of Rich Razzleberry. Set one aside. With the other one, cut 3 staggered "leaves" using the leaf from the Stitched Leaves Dies. Adhere the Plaid DSP to the back of this piece. Then, attach the remaining piece to the back to hide the backside of the Plaid piece. Attach half of this piece to the "flap" of the card front.
- Finish with a couple of scattered die cut leaves and a little scattered bling. (I used sequins).
Cabin in the Woods
Good Morning, Stampers!
Sorry my scheduled post didn't load yesterday, I'll have to see what's up with that. I was off on my first substituting job since "Covid School" started. Trinity has their act together!! Everything went very smoothly! I don't care for wearing a mask "all day", however! I can appreciate those that do! Enjoy!
Oops! Guess it's Fun Fold Friday!! Will see what I have ready to load!!
Here is one of the cards that we did last week at my 5/$10 class. It's a clean and simple card, using my favorite Fall Plaids, that's great for guys, too!!

- Very Vanilla: 4" x 5 1/4", 2 1/8" x 3"
- Plaid Tidings(N): 3 3/4" x 5"
- Adhere layers to folded Bumblebee Card.
- Stamp "cabin", first, in Soft Suede onto smaller piece of Vanilla. Apply "mask" over cabin image and stamp "trees" in Early Espresso. Add "leaves" in trees and on ground with Bumblebee, Pumpkin Pie, and Cinnamon Cider inks. Cut this piece out with medium Stitched Oval. Adhere to larger Bumblebee Stitched Oval. Attach to card with Dimensionals.
- Finish with knot of Vanilla trim

So, my sister, Cyndi, had us over last Friday afternoon on her porch! We were to wear "work" clothes and bring, a large pair of kitchen scissors, a spatula, a ruler, a glue gun, and a hat. An interesting collection of things to bring!! Mom was to bring her Kindle, or something to work on. Oh, and she would provide food and drinks. So, what did she have planned for us?? This absolutely DARLING snowman wreath that we had been wanting to do together!! Happy Birthday to us! We had a blast! And, she had an awesome feast, as usual!
