Fun Fold

I love the Upright Diamond Fold that was provided on the Beccy’s Place Blog. It is so easy to make that I quickly folded two of them for these cards. The first features a beautiful digi named Esmie the Gypsy, which is the freebie this month at the Cute As A Button Progressive Challenge on FB. I colored Esmie with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, attached her to the front of the folded card, and added some bling. The inside sentiment, a favorite scripture verse, is from a favorite freebie site. Check it out, I bet you’ll find lots of treasures!  

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Cute As A Button (Esmie The Gypsy)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pens

·   Inside Sentiment- Freebie from maxammadestudio  (You are Beautiful Ps 139)

I made my second card with this fun fold for a sweet friend. Ashley has been working long hours during COVID shutdowns at the agency where I work. Since I know she loved Harry Potter, I thought she’d enjoy this card, and especially the inside sentiment. Lately, as we try to enforce mask-wearing and other precautions/restrictions, we do seem to deal with lots of muggles!

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Harry Potter- freebie from skogstokiga.blogspot.com (options change occasionally so this might no longer be available)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Inside Sentiment- Love SVG Freebie (Don’t Let The Muggles Get You Down)

·   Assorted background papers and sequins from my stash

My last card features a digi that so beautifully reflects the colors I see when I look out of my window. My dear hubby and I moved to Wisconsin about a dozen years ago, and we NEVER get tired of the eruption of rich colors every autumn. Artist Jan Mahew is sponsoring the current Outlawz Progressive Challenge, generously donating this amazing image and sentiments to all participants. I really enjoyed coloring the leaves, striving to match the colors in the leaves across the street. I attached a photo to prove their beautiful deep orange coloring.  An upcycled calendar page, twine, and burlap help add a rustic feeling to the card.
