Challenge #26 Anything Goes (featuring Joy Fold Cards)

By
Carolyn here with our next challenge which is Anything Goes - featuring Joy Fold Cards (there is undoubtedly other names for this fold, but this  I was directed to by subscriptions to splitcoaststampers video on youtube.com.).  This can be made in different sizes, so lets see what we can create with this easy card.

Our sponsor for this  challenge is (drum-roll please)  Meljen's Designs Digitals
 

Ready for the challenge.  Here is the video to watch...

And now to our DT's  creations showing this card technique.

Tip: Using Mono reverse pattern papers, place one horizontally and one verticallly to give a different effect.



TIP:  Rather than a square for the inside piece, I created a circular fold-over card. Try different variations.



Tip:  I created mine in A2 size (measurements on my blog) and made it horizontal.  Add a ribbon to keep it closed.

My Tip: When you are stuck with what color to use on your images, just pick out the papers you want to use and match up the colors with your pencils/markers.

My Tip: The sentiment does not always have to go on the outside!
Check my blog for the inside photo..heehee!

My Tip:  Don't restrict yourself to the measurements given in a tutorial.  Use them as a guideline to make a smaller or larger version of the card shown in the tutorial,

 To find more information on how they did that, please click on their name/blog or the challenge under their picture. Thanks for playing along.
We hope these design team projects inspire. 


Your challenge:
Anything goes: cards, banners, layouts but if you enter a Joy Fold card, you will get an extra chance entry for this challenge sponsor.

This challenge ends on Saturday, August 23rd at 10:00 pm EST.  Also, you can join up to our Facebook group: Scrapbook Blessings Club for more fun, games, inspiration, tips and techniques. 
If you do make a project using the featured technique, telescoping card,
your project and blog may be showcased on the SBC Facebook group.
And as always, comments are appreciated. Thank you for stopping by and Have a blessed day!

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
