CCEE1720 Fancy Folds

Lois has challenged us this week to use a fancy fold on our cards.  So she is  asking you all to make a card that includes more than one fold on it.  It doesn't have to be complicated; it just needs to have more than the normal "fold in half."

So, fancy folds are definitely a challenge for me, I did an easy one.  I experimented with some of Tim Holtz's new oxide inks at Lynn's house over the weekend. They are pretty amazing and are the newest things on my wish list. I used a script background stamp for the final layer of the background and I used die cuts for the image and the sentiment. Masculine cards are usually  a challange for me too, so included that on this card too.

I know the team will have some great unique fancy fold cards for you to check out over on the CCEE blog and hope you will want to play along with us this week. Use CCEE1720 as your keyword on SCS.

C4C 126 Fancy Folds

The bigger picture is the outside of the card, the smaller inset is the inside. I used an inked embossing folder to stamp the pattern on the folded back part  of the front. I used Memento Bahama Blue to stamp the medallion. I used tuxedo black for the inside sentiment. I am not sure of the source of the medallion, but the inside scripture is from Stampin' Up. The card is made from a 4 by 12 strip of cardstock. I folded on the 4 inch and 8 inch points on my Scor Pal. I folded the ends into the middle and then did the slanted fold in such a way that it meets in the middle diagonally across the front. I learned this fold from  a SU demonstrator years ago. I haven't made one is quite awhile.
