Nov. 25- POP UP BOX CARD Card by Lois
Nov. 27- A FUN FOLD by Sandy
Let's get started !!

But first....


Okay for Day 3, I wanted to do another card fold so I picked another one of my favorites (another video for MFPS I think!!!)

This is a Diamond Fold Card.

And I promise you, it make a pretty eye catching card for a special occasion


This is what the card looks like when it is closed. 


And here is the card open it up. The middle diamond pops out. The trick to making this so easy is to use double sided pattern paper. That cuts down on all the matting.


For the cupcake "we" used Prismacolor Pencils And clear Wink of Stella for sparkle. You can see the sparkle good in the first picture.

Did you catch the we? That's right, I had help. My 7 year old wanted to help me with my "scrapbookins" as she calls it. So I stamped the image with Momento ink and let her color it up. I told her to pick colors that match the paper and I think she did a great job!


Up next is Shirley, click her name below!

Building Block Graduation Card

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 ...
