Challenge for Monday, February 22, 2021

 Hello!  Looks like it is starting to warm up a little... yay!  While Lila enjoyed the snow when it was fresh, she's not a big fan of the bone-chilling wind (or maybe that's me!).  Anyway, looking forward to warmer walks!

So, this week I've sent you pieces for a fancy fold card.  I have cut the pieces in taffy card stock and taffy b&t paper, which are both VERY retired.  You can either use as is to make a card, or put sizes on these as I have done, and use them as template for future use.

The birdhouse and sayings are from Z3915 Sending Well Wishes stamp + thin cuts


Below you can see how the flap is attached to the right side of the 6 1/2" x 5 1/2" CS base, after scoring.  I used green CS so you could see clearly.  The 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of b&t paper fits over the right side of the card base and will hide the 1/2" glued down piece.


The picture below might make it a little clearer...  As a side note, whatever b&t piece of paper you use should be light enough to stamp/write on, otherwise you will have to add a lighter square under the flap piece to write your message!


You can add b&t paper, embellishments, on the left side of the card and on the flap to suit yourself!  Consider zip strips, border die cuts, etc.


This is the card I made!

Happy stamping!!!
