Joy Fold Card Revisited


FYI: This post has been editted to add,
extra pictures and text and to correct a link to supply information. at 5pm the same day as the original posting

Before I separated my Crafts from my family blog I posted this card (scroll to March 14th & earlier).
I had made it for a SCS Get Together in Central MN.

Last night was very hectic for me with Baseball, concerts and award ceramonies involving 4 of my children.

I realized last night that I had forgotten to make cards for a local swap tomorrow night. I decided to re-vamp the shoebox to meet the criteria for the local swap(masculine or graduation). I also wanted to use the 8 shoe box swaps I had left after the Central MN Get Together.
The remake of the card is a lot simpler than the original card, so please use this link to look at "Magnolia Paper Paisley". and to get paper info. I was really pleased with the card.

The changes I made are minimal. I used the 2 piece Grad Cap die from QuiKutz, to cut SU Chocolate chip and Certainly Celery CS. I cut the Numbers with my Cricut using the George cartridge, set at 1", and SU Chocolate Chip CS. On the inside I stamped "Happy Gradtuation" with a stamp I bought at a local craft store, and I moved the paisley piece to the other side of the card.
***this is the inside of the original shoe box card.


This is a side ways picture so you can see the fold action. **also from the original card.


I really need to go and plant my garden before it rains. I worked so hard to get it tilled last week. I need to get it planted before I end up tilling it again. I love spring and summer, but there is always so much more outside stuff to do, that uses up my craft time. I will see about transferring the other post to this Blog later. I don't know if I can do that, but I'll try. If its possible, there are a bunch of craft post I would like to move. If I can't they are all posted in my SCS Gallery, and of course the other blog. Thanks for visiting.
