Y&FH Challenge #14 Reminder

Good morning!

Today Sandie & I are sharing our multiple folds cards on the Yumi & Fumi Handmade blog as a reminder and inspiration that Challenge #14 ends tomorrow.  You still have some time; the challenge ends at noon on Friday.   Link up HERE.  The prize up for grabs is different then our normal prize.  We're offering up a $15 gift certificate to our store, so you can now shop for the stamp you want.  We hope that entices you to play.  :)  Stop by Sandie's blog and see all the details on her card.  If you didn't get a chance to see Eva's or Kim's beautiful cards on Sunday or Rosie's card click on their names and you'll jump straight to their blogs.  Talk about wonderful multiple card folds!  This team really knows how to bring it! And it's just a coincidence that most of us used the same image to play with.  :)

Here's my card featuring Yumi with Birdie...

Can you tell I'm stuck in the outdoors?  (LOL)  Well who knows how much longer this will be, but for now I'm having fun with it.  I used Distress Ink (pads) to create the clouds and the ground below the grass.  The rest is colored with Copic markers.  Created the window with Spellbinders and attached them to a doily.  For the cardbase I chose a 5x5 card and was supposed to score the front exactly in the middle, but as you can see I was slightly off!  Eh, no matter, I worked with it and it turned out pretty cool.  The dp is Doodlebug and see that gorgeous ribbon?  It's from May Arts!  I loves it!  Went perfectly with the paper.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches.  Okay now time for the reveal...  This is what it looks like when you open the card...

Ta-da!!!  I mimicked the front of the card inside using the smaller SB stencils.  The blue birdie on the inside is a stamp from Stamps by Judith.  The sentiment is also from Paper Smooches. 

Alrighty don't forget there are a couple other events going on, stop by the Y&FH blog to see them all.   Again, thank you so much for stopping by.  I'm slowly making my way around, knowing that when I do I'll find tons of beautiful cards and inspiration.  I really need that for my mojo.  Have a wonderful day!

Y&FH Challenge #14 - Multiple Folds

Hello my friends,
As I write this post my heart feels a little heavy for the tragedy that happened at the Boston Marathon today.  Keep those families and their loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.

Sunday we started a new challenge at Yumi & Fumi Handmade.  For the next two weeks we'd like to see Multiple folds in your card.  There are a lot of different variations to choose from.  Stop by the blog to see Rosie's cute spring-like gatefold card featuring Yumi with Birdie.  It reminds me that Spring is trying it's best to push through.

I had so many issues with this one.  Of course I couldn't try to do something simple, had to try something different!  I did pick my image and they were pretty fast to color.  Then I had to figure out what folds I wanted to do.  Well here's what I ended up with.  Not one I'd try again, but for this one time...  Here it is featuring Fumi with Turtle...

 

Now I know looking at it straight on you can't see any folds.  Just a triangle on the bottom right?  Well here's the side view of the card...

The folds are the triangles!  {LOL}  It's all part of the dark brown cardstock.  (Yea, told ya! LOL!)  I added the sunflower paper to add something over it.  Unfortunately what I tried to do just didn't work out on paper as it did in my head! LOL!  I'm going to give this another try and see if maybe I can come up with something different.  I think the only thing going for it is the image.  =D

Hope you can play along with us.  We're still holding out on the prize, but once we decide we'll let you know.   Speaking of prizes, have you seen our Spread the Love event?  We're in our 2nd week of events and some fun stuff up for grabs.  Stop by the Y&FH blog to see the details.  I have a cute badge at the top of my blog on the right side bar.  Feel free to click on it to go directly to the post.  And then please feel free to help us Spread the Love by sharing the badge on your blog.  We're happy to announce that the GIVEAWAY for Week #2 is up on our Facebook page.  There is a link HERE, where you can enter.

Have a great evening!  Will hopefully be back to blogging and posting now that my big project is done.  Will get to share pictures of that soon.  Mahalo for sticking around with me if you're still here. I'm truly grateful!

Hugs,
Leanne
