Fancy Folds

I will never get tired of the Dahlia fold. I love it, it's hard at first but once you get the hang of it, it's awesome! I made this card to play along with Creative Sketches Technique Challenge.

It's a fancy fold challenge so.....I fancy foldedededed a card =) I used some crazy retired DSP....crazy because I bought it at my old SU! demos yardsale when I first got into this paper craft hobby/obsession at least 5 years ago! I have no idea what the name is but I like the colors =) It's taken me 5 years to be able to cut the DSP, I know for for some reason it drives me crazy to actually "use" paper. I always think that once I use it then I won't have and will then "need" it for another project. Some people might call it hoarding....I call it love of paper. Hehe

Notice the "bling" in the middle of the dahlia? I'm trying to embellish more, it's hard to hop outta my box and go for something different but I'm really trying......

Happy Hump Day!

So is everyone exhausted after Black Friday?! I love it! All the excitement, heart pounding deals and lack of sleep.....how can you resist a pair of kids jammies for $4?! Let alone Cricut cartridges on sale too!

Sooooooo my Thanksgiving cards had the Dahlia fold feathers and I thought I'd share a card I did a few years ago. I had seen a card while blog hopping and loved it. The blog said she'd found it on Splitcoast so I went there and got the tutorial on it. I did this card maybe 3 years ago or so, I remember it was before we moved down to SoCal and that's been over 2 years now. Anywho this was and has been my favorite card just because it looks so intricate but is so super easy.....here ya go =)

Oh oh oh and I figured out how to add a watermark over my pictures.....I was doing a happy dance while my DH just looked at me and smiled, it's the little things that make me happy!

C-ya!
