Fun Fold at Love Those Pretty Papers

Hello friends, at Love Those Pretty Papers this January we have an
OPTIONAL theme of a Fun/Fancy Fold card!

I saw a video for this card (Fun Fold Corner Tuck)
but changed it to make it an A2 card.
I make a lot of 'top' open cards and that is what I did with this one
forgetting it was to be a 'side' open...whoops...I blame it on my
shingles pain while I was creating it as that pain is enough to make
you forget your name!  My second mistake was not jotting down the
measurements as I was making it into an A2 card!
All the papers used for this card are from Echo Park's 
Be Happy 6x6 paper pad.

Here is the link for the 'real' measurements if you want to try one yourself:

Fun Fold Corner Tuck you can find the video HERE


The front of the card that 'folds open' also tucks down into the corner
to keep it closed!  I decorated my card front with a few of my pre-made 
blooms from Spellbinders.  The sentiment is Stampendus!

I left the inside panel blank to write your own message, as you can see
this card has LOTS of layers



Here it is with the top flap opened up.


Because we are an anything goes challenge using your designer paper
we also create an 'Anything Goes' card for inspiration.

This is a card I created for a grandson's 21st birthday.
He got a big kick out of it and was showing everybody LOL!
I had seen this stamp set funky fossil 'Chatty Bar' on someone else's
blog and knew it would make some crazy fun 'adult' cards!
There are five fun images and 5 fun sentiments in the set.
I had to have this fun new set and hunted it down!
The background paper is Pink & Main It's A Party set.


So, let loose with some of those pretty papers and come on over to
Love Those Pretty Papers and have some fun with us!

Entering the following fun challenges:

What a fabulous pair of cards using your great papers. I love love LOVE the first card with that unique design and how it folds and tucks but the pretty flowers perfectly coordinate with all those fabulous papers! The 2nd card made me giggle with the shivering bottle of beer LOL Great work on both of these fun cards.

I am loving both of these cards, the fun fold is amazing with all the layers and pretty papers. And how fun that your 21 year old grandson showed it (the second card) to everyone! It really is hilarious and perfect for anyone who loves a beer.
I'm sorry to hear that you are dealing with shingles pain, hope you recover quickly!

Two great cards on this post.
Love the shaped one at the top of the post, and the fun sentiment and image on the second card. xxx

OMGosh, I looked up that stamp set and it is hilarious!!! Lovelovelove your card! As for your first card, those are some very pretty papers! All is forgiven when you're in the throes of a shingles attack, but it was clever of you to figure out all the adjustments. Your die cut flower looks perfect with the paper. So cute!
