Whimsical Wednesday - Fun with Folds

Hello and welcome to the Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #16. Our challenge today is to have "Fun With Folds." The challenge is to make anything other than a standard shape or A2 style card. For example you could make an easel, gatefold, waterfall card, etc. I hope you will get a chance to join us in the fun.

For my card I made my first ever easel card. It is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 and was so fun to make. I love the way it looks in the easel position and can definitely see myself making more of these.


Wedding cards are always nice to have on hand and I'm loving this style of card.

I hope you will drop by the Whimsical Wednesday blog and check out what the other talented Design Team ladies have in store for you. Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

Items Used:

Happily Ever After Cricut cartridge
Sweethearts Cricut cartridge
My Creative Time stamps - Polka Dot SURPRISE!
Martha Steward Doily Punch
Adhesive Pearls

    This one caught my eye on the dashboard before I even realized it was yours. Absolutely smashing Dahling! The frame around the silhouette came from the Sweethearts cart? It is gorgeous.
