Fancy Fold Blog Hop - JAI #74


Are you ready for a "Blog Hop", this weeks Just Add Ink Challenge is a Fancy Folds Blog Hop.........
Along with some fantastic cards every Design Team Member has provided a "Tutorial" or link so you can have a go at any of the gorgeous creations along the way! Did you enjoy Chantell's Joy Fold card?

My pick was a traditional "Side Step" card............


To view the tutorial I followed, click HERE.

My “Tutorial” additions.........
Once you have cut and scored the base card, using Beates fabulous tutorial, the next step is your panels.......
1.       Basic black-2 ¼” x 3 7/8” &   3 2/8”x 2 6/8
2.       Whisper white- 1 ½”x 3 5/8” &  2 ½” x 2 ½”
3.        Small scrap piece for stamping  the Tower
4.       Tulle strip- 20”x1”  &  10”  x  ¾”, gathered with a running stitch and secured with a Rhinestone brad.
Stamps used:
Clearly for you – Artistic Etchings – French Foliage – Notably Ornate – Polka dot Background.

  7. Wow, that looks awesome. . . although I'm a bit intimidated by all that scoring! Maybe a scoring tool might make it easier? LOL.
