Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge...

Hello my friends and welcome to my blog!  I'm here to play along in the very first challenge over at Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge .  These ladies must of been thinking about many of us.  I love pretty papers, I'm a hoarder, I admit it!  So this challenge is going to be such fun for me!  Having been on card making design teams for many years, I have lots and lots of papers just sitting here begging to be usesd.  I'm going to get back into making cards for the nursing home and for family and friends.  I have been sitting back doing very little in the way of card making so today I begin a new chaper in my crafting world.  

The design of my card was copied from here:  https://youtu.be/xUCTCq-eD18  Jackie Bolhuis at Klompen Stampers made this video of making this card.  Thank you Jackie!

When the card is opened there is a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" spot for another pretty piece of designer paper.  These papers are from Heartfelt Creations and they are notorious for having gorgeous papers to play with!  

Well this does it for me today!  I hope you like my card, it was a lot of fun to make.  I just love fun fold cards!

New Die in The House...

I just purchased a new die to use with my cardmaking and I have to say I love it!  The one die cuts the whole card base with score marks and you just fold and add pretty paper and your card is ready to go. The die came from Temu...many people don't like this company but I find their craft supplies are pretty good and dirt cheap.  Here is my first card ready for the mail.

 And the next photo is the inside of the card:  

The papers are from the Heartfelt Creations Sweet Magnolia Collection and those sweet little flowers are from my stash.  When I make flowers for a card the ones i don't use go in a big container and I find lots of goodies in there these days! The card uses magnets to keep it closed so it will have it's best foot forward at all times.  I think I'm in love and you will be seeing this die used again and again!
