Pile It On Challenge # 09 - Make it a Fun Fold

Welcome to another challenge at Pile it On! This week we are making cards with a fun or 'fancy' fold (think gate folds, easel cards, step cards, etc.). This week our sponsor is Simon Says Stamp! I made a gate fold card with this adorable digi from A Day for Daisies:
Here it is upright, so you can better see how it opens:
The sentiment is from Whimsical Designs 'Whimsical Fun Vol. 1' set. I used Elegant Edges to cut out the Stamp-shaped mat for the Sentiment stamp, and inked the edges with chalk ink. Then I added some liquid pearls for a little extra somethin'. I think I am addicted to this stuff, lol!
I found these adorable flower shaped buttons in my stash, and added some bakers twine.
I hope you like my project! Please come and join us with your fancy folded creations, I can't wait to see all the inspirational things you come up with!

Supply List:
Cardstock: Colorbok
Patterned Paper: American Crafts, Pebbles
Stamps: A Day for Daisies (digital image) colored with Copics, Whimsical Designs (Sentiment)

  2. that image is adorable. it's kind of scarey that I have a photo of me that resembles it from back in the day when I was on my way to becoming the scarey cat lady. fortunately, I maxed out at seven cats and a dog.
    I love your card, it's just sweet!
