Happy New Year

And Welcome to the first Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge of 2022. 

We made it easy for the the first challenge after the holidays, which was good for me as it was a comedy of errors from the start, it happens when you pick the patterned paper and as soon as it's glued to the cardstock you know it was a wrong choice (it was not savable) 

I made a "TeePee" card they are normally simple, 3- 4 inch squares of cardstock 3- 3 3/4 inch pieces of patterned paper, you can make them any size you want but this one fits an A2 envelope.  I realized I hadn't used this stamp in 2021 so needed to use it as it works really well for a shaker. 

Now to the the next part of the "comedy of errors" As I am taking pictures the tape on the dome let loose and there were mini beads all over fortunately they were all in the photo box. I must remember to tape or glue the edges of the shaker dome as the "sticky" was compromised.

Here is how it folds up to fit in the envelope. To close the card I used a small dot of velcro.

Challenge #44 We want to see some Fancy Folds

Another week another new challenge and Clear it Out Tuesday wants to challenge you to make a fancy fold card. The sponsor for the challenge is Stamp Art by Kathryne.  Head over to the blog  and check out the rules and while you are there see what the rest of the design team have done.

For my card I used this cute little bear from the sponsor, check out her store there are awesome digis there. For my Fancy fold I made a Tee Pee card, there are a lot of tutorials if you google Tee Pee card and I followed one of them. The stash item is to use punches or die cuts and I used Spellbinders large circles.

Here is a picture of the card  flat it fits in a regular A2 envelope. There are several ways to keep the card closed but I used a small piece of velcro. 

Until I get my craft supplies unpacked and back where they belong I didn’t get a sentiment on the card I will find the right one to use probably when I need a Girl baby card.

|Thanks for stopping by today and we would love to see what your favourite fancy fold you came up with.
