Crafty Gals Corner #256 - Happy Birthday

Wednesday June 12, 2024

Hello. Are you ready for a fun challenge over at 

Crafty Gals Corner #256

Theme: Anything goes / Fancy fold

Our sponsor is LeAnn's World 101

Our other sponsor is Dr. Digi's

I went with the fancy fold. I used the Cake and Candle image and colored with copics. I chose the SU dp and card stock. I first make the fancy fold before I colored the image. I folded the card as usual then scored down the center of the front. I added my designer papers. I cute another piece of the card base and using SU ink I used a SU over all dot stamp and created the base for the cake to go on. I colored the cake and went over the flames with Spectrum Noir sparkle brush. I fussy cut out and added to the square. Then you cut a piece that is a lot smaller and crease in the center and add it to the base just adding adhesive in the fold area. then you add you image to the strip so it's free on both sides.

Then I took a piece that was 1.5 inches and used an embossing folder. then you take that embossed piece and add puffy dots to the back and adhere to the inside outer edge of the card. So when you open the card and fold back the front if is against the embossed area and the image on front is free to move.
