Finally Finished unless....

 ....I decide to add a few fish to the third panel.  

I've been working on this card for Try Stampin' on Tuesday Challenge #511 and Creative Creases Challenge #9.  

This piece of  patterned paper, which I found in a bag of scraps, was perfect for the TSOT beach theme.  Then I was gifted a die set to make the twist and pop card.  The biggest problem I had was finding this stamp set.  I looked high and low for it.  It was in the bottom of my box of Valentine stuff.  That's a head scratcher, for sure.  



 What do you think?  Do I add a few fish?

BTW, I was following this sketch from TSOT:

The big save!

Last week my 10 year old grand niece was here visiting.  She loved all the crafty things I have.  Who knew a 10 year old could move so fast?  She would get one thing out and before I could explain how it was used she had something else.  It was more than frustrating! especially with her mother close by but not saying a word.

When her mother said it was time to clean up, she collected the things she had made and wanted to keep and everything else went in my little trash container.   

After she left, I salvaged quite a few items from the trash container that were perfectly usable.   There were several embossed paper pieces with circles punched out of them that she hurriedly discarded.  And that is how this get well card began.

Those tiny flower die cuts are by Spellbinders- 

a new purchase that I just love!

White on White Thank You Card

 Isn't it amazing how many shades of white there are?

It is those slight differences that make a white on white card wonderful.  Then add different textures and you have a lovely card.


 For this card I followed the White on White Technique and the Sketch at Try Stamping on Tuesday Challenge #510.

 

 Enjoy your day!

Fun Folds Revisited

 Creative Creases Challenge is having an extravaganza. 


For this challenge you are permitted to enter a fun fold card or project from the past.  I just scrolled through over 200 posts on my blog labeled Special Folds.  I think this may be my favorite fun fold card, a double diamond fold card from 2015.  


 The original post is here.

 

 


 Iris folding has always been a favorite of mine.

 

 

The origami wreath is one of my favorite fun fold projects.

 

But the Origami Christmas Tree is what first caught my eye and introduced me to this hobby which I truly enjoy.
