Fun Folds Linky Party at Craftin' Desert Divas

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today brings a new Linky Party at Craftin' Desert Divas hosted by Tara.

Party Theme is...Fun Folds

How many different ways do you know how to fold a card base? I typically stick with the same type, BUT I know there are TONS of different folds and they are not difficult either. Here is your chance to challenge yourself and explore a few different ways. I even found a great resource that has tutorials. Click here for Card Making Magic.

Here is my project...

I created a center step card as a thank you gift for end of the year. Our last day of school is next Wednesday and I know both the students and I are looking forward to summer vacation. The weather is already hot, we have a field trip to Epcot tomorrow, and then a few Early Dismissals. We are almost done!

I used the card base file from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbon and cut the file on my Cameo. I did make it smaller than the original and I really like this size since it fits in an A2 envelope now.

The apple is from My Scrap Chick and I applied the chalkboard technique to keep it school oriented. I used an old white stamp pad and it a bit of smudging to get the effect. 

Hope you will join us for this crafty party at Craftin' Desert Divas! The more you link up, the better chance you have to win! Visit Craftin' Desert Divas for all the rules and to play along.

Winter Blog Hop with PPPR and 3 Girl JAM

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

Thank you for stopping by. We have a special hop today showcasing projects that are all about WINTER using Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files & 3 Girl JAM Ribbons.

 

"If you came here from Nicole's blog, you are in the right place.  If you have  just stumbled upon this post and would like to start from the beginning, please visit Lisa's blog."

 

Each Design Team member was allowed to choose a cutting file, and I selected Winter Critters and the Center Step card, which are both from Pretty Papers, Pretty Ribbons. I added the Navy Jute from 3 Girl JAM to make the bows for each side of the pennant.

I originally was going to cut the moose (see below) since that is my favorite animal, but decided the walrus looked magical with its earmuffs and scarf.
