Fun With Paper Folding

Hello everyone!  

We are starting another week!   

Here's my latest news!  I am taking a class from Annie's online classroom - Sharon Reinhart teaches a class on paper folding and so you are going to be stuck with some of my cards I create as I practice different folds.   

 Today, I will share the technique: Basic Triangle.

Paper:

Heavenly White 120# for my card base.

The base layer is Bubblegum Pop Tones 65#

The doily was  Heavenly white 65#

The Medallion is a combination of Bubblegum Pop Tones 65# and
some coordinating designer paper.

Sentiment: calligraphy on Bubblegum Pop Tones 65#

I found that 65# paper worked best for me.

I am very new with this technique!

I will be linking this card with the following challenges: 

Crafting From The Heart - Anything Goes
613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes (Optional twist - sentiment)
The Craft Place Challenge Blog  - Anything Goes
Crafting at the Weekend - Anything Goes

Thank you for stopping by!

Fancy Pants Dreaming: My Besties Project Share

Happy Saturday!

Copic Alcohol Ink Markers Used

Background: Pink/Blue multilines

The focal image edges were sponged with Vintage Photo Distress ink.   

The flowers are Cherry Lynn Desigs small Tea Rose

cut from leftover designer paper.

A pearl was added for embellishment

This is an envelope box  I created Using a basic template

from Gina K and altered to fit a 51/2 x 4 1/4 card

that has embellishments.

I like a little extra room so it doesn't get crushed

This is the from of the envelope box.   

Sherri is My Besties!

I applied a magnetic attachment on the inside of the upper flap

to secure the lid. 

The magnetic pull is too strong on it's own so I punched two 

circles that fit perfect over the top of each 

magnetic circle.

This dampened the magnetic pull and yet firmly holds the lid. 

I am linking this card to the following fabulous challenges: 

My Besties UK challenge -  Anything Goes A or if you want, you can enter

the B challenge - Ribbon and Lace! :D
