We have a fantastic new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz! Sue is our Host and she has chosen “Fancy Folds.” I am always amazed at the really wonderful and creative fun fold cards and I know you will want to play along. I had just seen this Double Easel fold technique and was looking for a good reason to try it. This challenge was perfect to give it a go. With beautiful designer paper and the wonderful Country Home stamp set, this card came together very easily, adding a favorite retired ribbon from my stash.

- I stamped the container directly onto the Galvanized

Hi Debbie,
Loved the card. Wondering how you did the doily on the inside. Did you use a retired stamp?
Thank you.
Lovely colors, beautiful card!
Hi, Debra! Thank you for your kind comment! The doily is a Colored Doily that I quartered and glued to the cardstock. You can’t get easier than that! LOL
Beautiful image and folds.
Hi there Debbie: I’m so happy you shared this gorgeous card with us at SHOPPING OUR STASH, I absolutely love the colors and the beautiful coloring of this pretty image.
The fancy fold is awesome and it showcases your image perfectly.
Thank you for playing along, I hope you join us again next time.
