Hello friends. It's a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Barbara would like to see our "Fancy Fold" cards for a birthday.
My fancy fold turned out pretty good I think. I cut a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 Grapefruit Grove in half long ways to be 4 1/4 by 11. I then scored each end at 2 3/4" and folded to meet in the middle. I used a corner rounder punch on each corner. I also rounded the corners of the cross piece - mat of Grapefruit Grove and white panel. I embossed the white panel with SU Cross-Hatch EF. The stamped flowers are from SU Layers of Beauty and ink blended using the masks (stencils) with Grapefruit Grove and Granny Apple Green inks. I cut a couple of the end pieces of flowers off so it would fit on the front of my card. I even used one of them to decorate the inside. I glued the images on and mounted the sentiment with foam tape.
Be sure to check out all the fun fold cards by the DT and our Party Guests over at Seize the Birthday. Hope to see you in our gallery.

Happy Stamping,
