Happy August, y'all! Not gonna lie, I'm looking forward to school starting so Ryan is occupied for a while each day and I'll have some time to stamp. I have a big project in mind that I'm itching to get started on. But for right this minute, we have a new challenge at SUO Challenges!
This time it's all about fancy folds. Umm, I'm pretty much allergic to making 3D items and nonstandard folds, so this is definitely a challenge for me! After looking through alllllll the tutorials on Splitcoast, I finally decided that the Twist Gate Fold might be doable, and here's what I made:
Thanks to Dawn's awesome tutorial, I was able to put this card together with no trouble at all! So here's what it looks like unfolded:
Cute, right? And if you angle it right, it should still fit in a standard envelope. And once again I used the Bright & Beautiful DSP stack...hey, I was making a whole bunch of design team cards back in April, trying to make them with all current products, and Bright & Beautiful is what I had at the time for DSP. (And Countryside Inn, but I think Bright & Beautiful is a bit more flexible.)
Hope you'll give the fancy fold of your choice a try and post your creation on the SUO Challenges blog. Hey, if I can do it, you definitely can do it! If you're like me and not real comfortable with fancy folds, I'd recommend taking a look at the tutorials on Splitcoast for a starting point. Or ask my old pal Google for ideas. Have fun!
