Christmas Card Club Challenge #14 - Fancy Folds

 Hi Crafters,

It's been so very hot here which is not conducive to crafting I'm afraid, or much else really as it seems to suck the energy out of me. Therefore I have to apologise again this week for being a little tardy with my CCC creation where our theme was set by Christine and was...

FANCY FOLDS

I've been watching some You Tube videos from Sam Calcott, specifically this one for a Triple Floating Diamond Card and thought this would be a great one for Christine's challenge - I should have allowed myself more time though as I didn't quite get the measurements on the angles right and had to make it twice! Anyway here is the finished card, it folds flat(ish) to fit in a 6 x 6 inch envelope but it would have to be hand delivered unless you want to pay the colossal large letter stamp prices.


The papers were a free download that I've had for ages and long since forgotten where from and so is the lovely vintage post box image. In my early years of crafting I didn't title all my files, something I try to do now.
Here's the back of the card with room for your greeting...which is a Lindsay Mason Stamp.


...and here it is folded up to go in to the envelope.
