Ink Something Crafty

Happy Crafty Saturday!  I set a personal goal to TRY each of the "Fancy Fold Cards" on our recent blog hops.  Today I made my first Z-Fold card using  this tutorial  on Amanda's blog.  I fell in love with her card - so pretty in red and white and I loved her window, but I had to get creative since I don't have a window die cut yet (on my wishlist!)   For the garland, I cut out one of the border strips from the " Deck the Halls " digi paper pack HERE .  And for the window scene, I used the " Sweet Deer " HERE and the trees are from " Gingerbread Scene " HERE .  For both sentiments, I just typed them out in dark red.  :) I went over select petals of the poinsettia with a red sparkly gellyroll pen, select holly leaves with a green sparkly gellyroll pen and the flower centers with a gold sparkly pen.  The last photo shows an up-close view of the sparkle.  :) *Note to self: Pay attention to Amanda's note about the staircase tri

I created this window card for a li'l boy who loooves penguins and Christmas.   I used my digi set, " Larry's Penguin Costume "and digi paper also from Imagine That Digistamp!

My first project for our Fancy Fold Blog Hop is a Pop Up Book Card using this month's Featured Set, Reindeer Carols   .  This looks like a regular square card, but there's a surprise... Inside pops up like a book! for more inspiration, hop on over to The Creative Playground to start this hop!
