Crazy Crafters Blog Hop - Theme: Fun Fold

Welcome to the latest Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. This time our theme is Fun Fold. So this means if you follow the hop, you will find a range of ideas for products from the Stampin' up! Holiday Catalogue which was released on 1st September. We hope you find great inspiration from the projects. 

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Rosalie Desmond or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

I was very excited when our theme for this month was announced- Fun Fold! So many different styles that I have never tried. The biggest decision was which one to choose. While searching through Pintrest for some inspiration, I came across a Pyramid Card made by Linda Gutierrez, complete with tutorial. I immediately thought, wow!

 The Pyramid card has three sides which you can decorate.

Side 1

Side 2

Side 3

My son thought called this card style "Christmas tree" as he thought that was what I was creating. I think this style is perfect for Christmas as I love to display the cards I receive by I hate that they full over if someone walks too fast near them. This style is much more sturdy that a normal card base.

Getting Ready for Christmas

I am on my way to having my Christmas cards ready in time for Christmas. Now it is time to get stuck into making some Christmas tags to label presents.

Today I thought I would make a simple one using the Wondrous Wreath.

This one uses a combination of real red ink and old olive. Very traditional colours.

A colourful Christmas

Time to make some more Christmas cards. This time very non traditional. In fact I think that this is the brightest Christmas card I have ever done.



I am pretty pleased with how this turned out. Can't wait to do these in class. I wonder what colours my class members will choose?

Its begining to look a lot like Christmas

I know Christmas is still some time off, but it certainly does creep up very quickly and my class attendants have been requesting some more Christmas cards.

So with that in mind I decided to get cracking on a Christmas design.

This card also gives you a sneak peek of an image from the "Among the Branches" stamp set which will be available for purchase from the 1st September.

My card today was inspired by Pals Paper Arts #264 sketch. Follow the link and you will find some other wonderful cards which were also inspired by this sketch.
