It's the second of the month and time to launch a new challenge over at Christmas Kickstart...
We're in very good company for February as our elf is Leslie from Love to Scrap 2.
Thanks so much for agreeing to wear the elf hat this month, Leslie. You will love the theme Leslie's chosen as we're playing...
Challenge #95 - Fold it Fancy!
We'd want to see your choice of fancy/fun fold on a Christmas/Holiday card.
Leslie really has created some folding magic with her card, so please go and take a look and prepare to be amazed!
If someone says 'Fancy Fold' to me I immediately see it as an opportunity to create an easel card. I do love an easel card and if, like me, you are a little fold-a-phobic, an easel card can be a great place to start. Just do a quick Google search and pick a style you like. I used Ardyth's instructions here, and you can see how she makes four different types of fun fold cards in her easy to follow video.
My card features this fun tired Santa from Whimsy Stamps and a Simon Says Stamp snowflakes background. I think the snowflakes may be out of stock right now, but there's plenty of similar stamps over at SSS.
My second card is this one:
There's Wink of Stella on the tree on his jumper, the bobble on his hat and the mistletoe berries.
It's not a million miles from an easel card, but gives a very different 'look'. I know that I used a tutorial for this card too, but it's currently gone AWOL. I'll do a more thorough search and add the details later. Edited to add: Nope, still can't find it! 😟
If you like the little bear you can find him here. He's a cute digital stamp from the same set as the image on this card made by my CCC buddy, Imke.
Rudolph has such a fun prize for his Random Raffle this month:
Anyone entering the challenge (and following the guidelines) will go into the random draw to win this sweet stamp set.
Leslie and I can't wait to see your fabulous fancy folds and look forward to you playing along in our challenge.
