Get fancy with your folds!

Hello there! Happy Saturday!

I hope you are well and have had a fab week!

Soooo...it's Team Abi's turn to host a challenge this week at Sweet Stampin and we've got a really fab challenge for you - this week we want to see fancy folds on your cards.

Now I'm the first one to put my hand in the air and say my cards are always the same...sometimes I use gate fold cards, but in the main I just use plain old square card blanks. Its not because I don't like fancy folds....in fact I often find myself gazing in awe at other crafter's fancy cards. No, I'm just plain old lazy!

You might think this kind of challenge would have me heading for the hills.....but I actually really relished the challenge to try something new. I got on the Internet and started looking for card folding tutorials......in the end I opted for a stepper card....

 

Considering I have never attempted a stepper card before I was rather pleased with how this one turned out. I suppose I could have used some more papers or embellishments.

 

My images are both coloured with my Promarkers and I have added a little sparkle to the images with my Stickles. I have gone with polka dot backing papers to echo the bubbles that come with a glass of champagne. Finally I added some cute buttons.

Before I sign off today I thought I'd share with you the afternoon tea that Lorna and I created as a Birthday treat for a friend last weekend.....
