Funky Folds Blog Hop= a Bay window card using Country Flowers

Well it's been a very long time since I participated in a blog hop - and it feels good to be participating in a FUNKY FOLDS hop. You may have come from Jan McQueen's creation, or you may be starting here. Be sure and hop all the way around.

I do love Fancy Fold cards and of course with a new catalogue and new products it is fun to be creating again. I have a big weekend retreat coming up in a few weeks and we are using the Country Flowers Stamp set so I am creating a swag of samples.

Since time is such a precious commodity for all of us I am using some old favourite folds with new products - a whole new lease on life.

For this week's hop I am revisiting the Bay Window Card.

The front tri-panel piece bends forward and tucks in behind the little anchor which is fixed to the inside. Your card will stand up unaided.

This is it with the edge tucked under the anchor.

You can find the measurements and instructions and several previous samples on these pages.

Today's card features Alcohol Blends in Summer Splash, Petunia Pop, Misty Moonlight, Pretty in Pink, and Old Olive.

The blends are a great tool for colouring all the images in the set - the stool, the teapot, the bucket, the potplant, and of course the posies of flowers.

And of course the inside needs to be decorated too. I am loving the large sentiments in the Kindest Expressions stampset.

For details about the products I used in this card you can find the list here.

Next on the blog hop is Rochelle Blok. There are 10 of us in the linked circle this week, so be sure and follow the links all the way around for lots of inspiration for your next fun fold.

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 

"don't just post online,

 post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz
