Mother's Day Ladybugs and Flowers Fancy Fold

Hello and welcome to May!  I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy.

Today I'm here to share a card for the latest Papercraft Business Challenge: Anything Goes.  Always an easy one!

I'm featuring Ladybug Floral Collage from Bugaboo stamps along with a sentiment from a Stampin Up Paper Pumpkin kit.  I haven't used kraft in a long time, but I think it works.  I added a few swirly dies and gems for fun - and some glaze that you can't see in the photo.

Also, I managed another fancy fold from CardzTV.  Her videos are straight forward and easy to do.  I know it looks a little crooked in the photo, but it's actually straight and holds up well.

So please join in the Papercraft Challenge if you get a chance.  It runs all month long.

This meets the following challenges:  CardzTV: Anything Goes #113, Cute Card Thursday: Feminine, Krafty Chicks: Anything Goes, and Watercooler Wednesday: Anything Goes.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look at my latest creation.

Bear Balloon Double Point Fold card

Hello and Happy St. Patrick's Day!!  Of course the little Leprechaun paid us a visit, made a bit of a mess, and left some gold coins behind.

Today at Catch the Bug Blog is new release day.

So this little cute balloon bear is now available at the Bugaboo Stamps shop.  I've been inspired lately by CardzTV and all the fancy fold videos Mary has been posting.

So I followed along with her Double Point Fold card to make my fancy fold.  I encourage you to see her video to fully understand how this card unfolds.  The white area on the polka dot paper is the writing area.

The sentiment is from Stampin' Up's Teeny Tiny Wishes set, and I actually pulled out an embossing folder for the dots texture.  So that's it from me today.  Don't forget to wear a bit o' green!

Explosion September Birthday Card

Hello and happy Monday!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for my brother's 50th birthday!  I made several cards and handed them out for other people to mail to him - so he got plenty of cards this year!

This features Bugaboo Stamps September Word Art digi.  I popped up the word art on top of a calendar I printed from online.  It was a little too plain for me so I added a bit of copic refill smooshing.  And when you open the card, it's an explosion card!

So this is the inside!!  This took a few tries using my scor-pal and a few different tutorials until I got the exact fit I wanted.  I ended up using a full sheet of white copy paper (8.5 x 11 inch).

The inside uses a stamp set from a Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin kit.  I must say, I was happy with the end result.

Just a quick share today.  Thank you for taking a look.  Have a wonderful week!

This meets the following challenges: 2 Sisters: Something with the letter S,  A Perfect Time to Craft: Anything Goes, Love to Craft: Anything Goes, and Scor-Pal: More than One Score.

Unicorn Fancy Birthday Card

Hello!  This week is almost over and tomorrow is my Bit's birthday!  It's so amazing how these little people just grow and change, and in the case of Bit, get whip smart!  So today I'm featuring her birthday card using an older but still much loved Bugaboo Stamp: Cute Unicorn Trio.

And, I also managed another fancy fold!  The sentiment is from a Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin kit.

This wasn't overly complicated, but I still like making cards that aren't the regular ol' rectangle.  So I'll pat myself on the back for this little gem.

I don't really know if this fold has a specific name or not, but I saw it on Pinterest and was inspired.  That is my share for today and I thank you for taking a look.  Have a wonderful weekend!

My card meets the following challenges:  Crafty Creations: Anything Goes,  Digi Choosday: Anything Goes, Through the Craft Room Door: Anything Goes, and Simon Says: Add Red.
