Crazy Crafters Blog Hop October 2015 - Fun Folds

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop for October. This month we are excited to show off some amazing fun folds. We hope you find great inspiration from our projects.

I love Fun Folds - don't be put off by thinking that they are difficult, a lot of the styles are quite simple and give lots of "bang" with not much effort at all.

This is an example of a Centre Step Card - 2 cuts and 4 folds is all it takes!

I thought a step card would be perfect to showcase the lovely trees from the Wonderland Stamp set in the centre of the "step".



I added texture by placing the top of the stamped image in the Softly falling TIEF, using the area that only has minimal snowfall.  the image still looked plain compared to the rest of the card, so I added some gold embossing to the trees.


I also decorated the inside of the card by embossing another of the stamps and placing in opposite corners to bring all the elements of the card together.


Note to self:  I mistakenly purchased the Winter Wonderland Vellum stack instead of the DSP, so I have cut the Vellum and glued to cardstock for the side panels of the card - it worked!

Now this card looks like a normal card using the Wonderous Wreath Bundle.......

Until you open it!

How adorable is the variation of an Easel Card, but wait there is more.....

Notice the window is now lit up - that's right, you can pop a battery or rechargeable tea light behind the image (which is why I made the window), I found battery lights at BigW & Ikea, and then found some very reasonably priced rechargeable lights at Bunnings; below are some close ups of this card

This Easel Card is your basic card with a diagonal line scored for the twist instead of the straight line; I found fantastic instructions here.  The hardest thing for me was the bows (I am bow challenged, I can't explain it!).
