Fancy Fold Flower Flip Card

It seems August has flown past us in a hurry.....

kids are getting back to school.....

and it's almost Sept.....

wow...life seems to move by so quickly!!

Which brings us to another new challenge at  "The Sisterhood of Crafters"

This week our hostess is "TERRI" and she has asked us to do a "Fancy Fold" card.

I bought a Sizzix flower flip card die on clearance at Hobbylobby about a year ago

If you know me, you would know that whenever I purchase a new die, 

I immediately cut it to see how it performs...

(which leaves me with a ton of die cuts for later)

I was a bit disappointed when I cut this die as it cut clean through on the score lines...

but I remembered Sizzix had suggested when that happens to flip your die over

and cut with it facing down (that takes some of the pressure off the die)

I did that and it cut perfectly!!

I used some SU paper I had in my stash, but I also cut it in white card stock and lined

my card's back side for more stability..
I LOVE this color combo of the deep blue and the coral!!

I think I kind of "cheated" on this challenge LOL, as I used a die....

but the challenge gave me a chance to use something I have had for awhile at least!!

Head on over to "The Sisterhood" blog and see what the other "Sistah's" have for you!!

I hope you will join in with us this week, we would love to see your "fancy fold" cards!!
