Hi everyone! Hope all’s well. It’s been busy around my house preparing for an upcoming craft fair but it’s been fun too. The house is a “creative mess”! I’ll be sharing some of the projects with you in the weeks ahead so stay tuned. Today’s share is a card sample from last month’s “Flips and Folds” class. This card is a nice change from normal folds and simple to make.

| Fancy Fold Thank You Card |
Materials:
Crushed Curry Card Stock
Coastal Cabana Card Stock
Whisper White Card Stock
Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper
Coastal Cabana Classic Stampin’ Pad
Crushed Curry Classic Stampin’ Pad
Window Frames Collection Framelits
Blossom Punch
7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch
Mixed Bunch Stamp Set
Regarding Dahlias Stamp Set
Rhinestone Basic Jewels
To make the card base, start with a piece of 8″ x 4 1/4″ card stock and score at 4″ on the landscape side to create a card size of 4″ x 4 1/4″. Decorate base with designer series paper or as desired. Use the largest Window Frames framelit to cut a piece card stock and attach the window frame to card base. Be sure to position the piece with half of it above and half of it below the card’s fold. This should be a standard 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ card size. NOTE: Apply adhesive only on part of the window frame piece that is below the fold. Otherwise there will be adhesive showing on the back of your card. Decorate and embellish as desired.
Hope you get a chance to make a Fancy Fold card! If so, please share your design with me!!!
Have a great week!

Finally! A new post!!! It’s been busy around my house the past couple of weeks and I’m finally getting back on track to post some projects. Last Friday, a neighbor organized the annual Halloween Golf Tournament for a group of ten couples. We dressed in costumes, played a 9 hole golf tournament and enjoyed dinner together. It was a blast! Playing golf in costume was not the easiest thing to do but it wasn’t exactly serious golf, as wine was served prior to teeing off. My task was to provide treats for the group and I decided to make Treat Bags based upon Julie Brewer’s design from the Inky Fingers Club. It was an easy and fairly quick project to complete.
Various designs from the Witches’ Brew Designer Series Paper was used to cut the flag pennants. Elegant Eggplant and Pumpkin Pie card stocks were used to cut the Chalk Talk Framelits tag. The tags were then texture embossed with the Houndstooth Embossing folder. Assorted Halloween themed sayings (current and retired) were used to add a Halloween sentiment. The clothespins for closing the cello bags was covered with Witches’ Brew Designer Washi Tape.
Many thanks to Julie for this project idea! Be sure to check out Inky Fingers Club.

Last week’s posts were supposed to automatically update while I was on vacation but obviously there was a glitch so the projects will be shared this week. I had a wonderful week on the Florida Panhandle and Tropical Storm Karen fizzed so the weather was perfect. Below is a picture of the beautiful sunsets we enjoyed each evening…
Now for my project share…next month I will be participating in a craft fair so I’m in the midst of making a variety items to sell. One of the items being prepared are covered mini-notepads. The pads are a miniature version of hardbound composition books and are the perfect size for keeping in a purse or other handy place. Coastal Cabana Designer Series Paper was used on the sample below. The sentiment is from the Best of Greetings Stamp set and the Chalk Talk Framelits were used to cut the shape.
