Stampers Dozen Blog Hop - Anything Go

   

Hello Stamping Friends,

So glad you are here. Tonight is another great blog hop with the Stampers Dozen group.  This month's theme is anything goes. Do you find it easier to create when you can do anythig you want or when you have a mission in mind? I'm not sure how I feel about which way to create.  Sometimes I like the freedom and sometimes I like have clear guidance, especially if I have a bunch of new supplies that I haven't played with just yet? 

For my project today, I started with wanting to play with a fun fold card idea. This is a double fold to make  a regualr full size card. The finished card is the traditional 51/2" x 4 1/4". You begin with a 5 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock. Then you score the 11" side at 1 1/4", 5 1/2", and 9 1/4".

After you score and fold the cardstock, you decorate the base. Layers help make it look great. I focused on using the Beautiful Gallery 6"x6" designer series paper to create this card. I used the Peace on Earth stamp set for the "Heartfelt prayers" greeting. 

I attached the greeting with a few dimensionals. You know I need to use them somewhere on my card.

This is definitely a fun card to make and I imagine the recipient will be in awe when they begin opening it and realizes that it's not a traditional opening card. 

I also decorated the insdie of the card a bit using the same paper that I used on the outside.
