Fun Folds for the First!

Happy May everyone!

It's the first of the month and if you follow my blog, you know what that means...time for a blog hop with my blogging friends. This month is extra fun, we are creating fun fold cards!  I can't wait to see what what my friends have created for the hop today.

I chose to create a double 'Z' card.  This was out of my comfort zone, but I have always wanted to give it a try - what better way than than to have something scheduled to help give you a little push.  I really loved how it turned out and can't wait to share this with my card class attendees next month.

 My card has lots of layers, so I had to hold it closed to get a good picture of it folded up tight.  I added the greeting right there on the front smaller 'Z'.  I used the Sunshine and Rainbows Bundle to create my card.  An awesome bundle for layers.
  

 This is a picture showing how it would sit on a table for display. 

Here is a close up of my layers.  Lots of Whisper White and Vellum clouds!  So cute!

  
Here, you can see how I attached the clouds for the layers.  I added extra strips of Pool Party, with tabs on each end to attached to each of the 'Z's.

This picture is taken from the top of the card and shows better the inside workings of the layers and the 'Z' formation.  In essence there is a large 'Z' with a smaller 'z' attached - the large section attached to the small and the small section attached to the large. 

 And finally and picture of the card stretched out.  This card was so much fun to make.  I can't believe this bundle is retiring and not being carried over in the next catalogue.  If you like this bundle, you won't want to wait to order it.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Be sure to hop on through the blogs listed below to see some other wonderful fun fold cards!

Happy Stampin'

Thank you Sunsine and Rainbows

Hi there!

Today, I wanted to share with you the second pillow /thank you gift I made for my team leader and my room mate.  I used a really awesome bundle that is retiring, although didn't know it at the time.   I am SO glad I used it and will have to get a few more projects in before it goes away for good.  Can you guess which one?

It is also fits with this week's theme over at Global Design Project!

 
 

It's the Sunshine and Rainbows Bundle!!  I made a large matchbook style holder for the fun treat inside and used the bundle to create this really cute picture for the cover.  The base is Marina Mist, the rainbow colours are Real Red, Tangerine Tango , Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizazz, Marina Mist, Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder.  The greeting is from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits, which is also retiring.  Eek!

And here is the treat inside....rainbow Ice flavoured gum!  Truly, I am not sure how it tastes, but the packaging was prefect for the Sunshine and Rainbow Bundle.  :)

I am going to love having this Bundle in my collection.  Perfect for all types of cards, scrapbook pages and 3D projects.  And, a great way to forget about the late winter storms happening here in southern Ontario.

If you love this bundle, you will want to order it before May 25, after that any stampsets are not guaranteed.  Most retiring items are available while supplies last.

Visit my on-line store here and don't forget to check out the Clearance Rack while you are there.

Happy Stampin'
