Stampin' Up! Cutest Cows for the Creative Creases Challenge #81 Anything with a Fun Fold

Welcome to our Anything Goes With a Fun Fold Challenge. If you haven't played at Creative Creases Challenge before, what are you waiting for? Hop on over to Challenge #81. We'd love to see your fun fold creation.

Here's what I created...

We'll take a closer look in a minute, but first I want to show you my template. I was inspired by my teammate, Jaimie, and created the card with her measurements. You can watch her video here. Here's my first attempt...

Since I wasn't happy with my cow, I decided to make another one using a bigger circle die for the cut out and the next smaller to stamp the cow. That way, the card opened easier BUT  I like the same size circle for both on my "template"! Let me show you a closer view of my challenge card and you'll see what I mean...

However, there was a problem because I had glued all the DSP to the card base, along with the inside sentiment before I did the die cut. By using a larger die to cut out the opening, I cut off the word "what's" from inside! So, to remedy that, I stamped my cow, bird and "what's" on a scrap piece of white and cut it out with the smaller circle! I also added the second inside sentiment with a wood mounted stamp I had inherited from my friend, Carole, who went to be with the Lord 5 years ago this month. I still miss her so much.  But, back to my card... here's a pic side-by-side...

 

I came pretty close to having to start over with that little mishap!

Let's moove on now...

I hope you'll join us at CCC #81. If your card is picked as a winner, you'll get a chance to be a Guest Designer...that's how I started out! Our Design Team is a great one and I hope you'll check out each member's blog. You'll be in for a treat!!
