There's nothinng Plane and Simple about this Chain Card Swap for Annette

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Annette and the CASES of her card. I encourage you to start the blog hop at Annette's blog and follow along to see the progression of her card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

I was 3rd in the chain for Round 8 and have created a Fun fold card with the Adventurous Sky Bundle and matching DSP. 

Here's is the card I CASE'd from Nancy. I loved exploring this card when I received it, The first thing I wow'ed at was the cool fun fold open/close. The Lavender paper is one of my all time favourites so I;m glad she used it!

Lets take a closer look at this card. After deciding on a male card for this project, I grabbed my new favourite bundle. My son wants to be a pilot, so this set was a must have. I have covered the front in panels of DSP. I always measure the cardstock first and then cut the dsp a 1/4" or 1/2cm smaller (just once off the long and short mesuremnt, not from each side) - a guaranteed perfect border everytime!

The Cajun craze tag is also from the paper stack, theres a page full of them. I stamped and die cut the plane, additional clouds and the circles for the sentiment. 

The inside writing panel is slightly thinner than usual but so much more interesting as you can see the patterned panel down the side and the front greeting moves to the inside!

This fun fold will work with any paper or occasion. 

The meaurements are easy,  scored A5 cardstock in the middle at 14.9cm, off each short side measure 2.5cm (1") CUT one and SCORE the other.

It's my turn to Tic Tac Toe with Let's Craft Together

Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months we'll be playing along with a Tic Tac Toe created by me. I got to choose the TTT layout and options - so I hope you enjoy this hop and I can't wait to see all the project variations.

Today I have created a super cool typical masculine card using the Adventurous Sky Bundle. 

Here's the challenge picture - I have gone stright down the middle here - selecting to make a MASCULINE, FAVOURITE STAMP SET & FUN FOLD.

Lets take a closer look at this card. I'e used the Adventurous Bundle and DSP to decorate this fun fold card. I've used the colours from the patterned paper to help me decide what colours to use. Cajun Craze is one of my all time favourite colours - I've used it just here and there today. 

How fun is this card! All the easel panels take it from cool to SUPER COOL card.  Cutting the DSP panels to decorate the front was the hardest part. I cut x3 4.5cm x 10cm rectangles, then I cut them in half on the diagonal. The best glue to use for those super fine triangle corners is the Fine Tip Glue. 

Heres a quick tutorial - I'd love to see what you come up with!

Thanks to Lisa Curcio for the cool You Tube tutorial on this style of card. 

The inside decorated and be sure to include some pop up elements to hold up each easel panel. Here I have stamped a fun edge with clouds and planes, and raised on a dimensional are 2 clouds and the plane in Cajun Craze. 

An awesome colour combination
