Pleated Prism Fold

 I just love how this card turned out! The colors in this pattern of Designer Series Paper really sings to me. I'm a big fan of Petal Pink, then to pair it with Pecan Pie, oh my! [big swoon] My all time favorite color combos are blue and green, (actually blue and anything lol) pink and orange, and pink and brown. While I'm not picky about what shade of blue, because I love them all, I am picky about the shade of pink that I like. This pink with it's warm tones and a whisper of orange really does it for me, as does certain hot pink shades like Melon Mambo. When I was a little tomboy er little girl, my Mom kept pushing pink on me. I was not a fan of pink, much to her consternation, I adored BLUE. So it is high praise if I like a shade of pink.

Framing Lighthouse

 I'm not sure what to call this fold, I saw a similar card done by Jilli Bling, but I kinda did my own weird fold on the inside. It started out as a Z fold, then I wasn't happy with that. I needed more panels to show off the scene in the Designer Series Paper, and I wanted the front to be a full 4-1/4" x 5-1/2."  So I just  kept playing around until I got the paper folding to do what I wanted it to do lol! I guess we could call this an M Fold.

Framed Scenes

 This is such a fun bundle to create with! The Framed Scenes Bundle is an Online Exclusive (I've listed all the products used below). This fold is really easy and yet it looks pretty cool! The Country Woods Designer Series Paper (DSP) really add to the feel of an old lighthouse. We have an old lighthouse in Beaufort, SC. It's not red, but it's fun to climb up to the top and look at the ocean and barrier islands.      My inspiration for these cards came from Julie Gilson and Dani Gurrola, two very talented ladies! 

The second card features the same fold, only rotated to a portrait position. I used the most gorgeous plaid of Misty Moonlight and Mossy Meadow. I ADORE blue and green combos!! Funny story about the framed sentiments... I matted the Happy Birthday greeting because it needed something since it was on the back of that panel, a little umph. Then with the sentiment, I must admit, I wasn't clever enough to do that on my own in order to create a cohesive look. Nope, I just made a stamping goof! lol Since it eas already adhered to the card base, I couldn't flip it over and do the other side. Yeah, do as I say, not as I do. Don't ever adhere your layer then stamp. {slaps self upside the head}
