Hello my crafty friends
It's Saturday and that means a new challenge at the Crazy4Challenges Blog. This month our hostess is Rebecca Ednie! Kelly Booth is joining us as our Guest Designer and you can find Kelly's blog HERE. This is Rebecca's challenge for the week:
A few months ago Jennifer McGuire posted a video on 'Window Surprise Cards', which I will link at a the end of my post. While I did my card differently than she shows I liked the way she assembled her tri-fold card so that was my jumping off point.
This card, with the three panels, also works for the Fun Friday Challenge #117, which is to "use three of something". You can find all the details for the challenge HERE.
I had these 5-1/2" patterned square cards in my stash, so I trimmed two of them down to be 5 x 5-1/2" which will fit in a 5 x 7" envelope. I assembled the two cards as shown in the video, and cut a wavy window from the front of the top flap using one of the Stitched Wavy Circle dies by Your Next Stamp.
The Birthday Wishes & the Washi Tape die are also from Your Next Stamp and I tucked a couple of puffy leaf stickers around the popped up sentiment.
When you open the card you see the second panel, which has a larger window cut from it using the same YNS Stitched Wavy Circle die set.
Finally, here is the card fully open. I added a second panel inside the right flap to cover an oops, then managed to get a smudge on both the centre and the left panels. So I pulled out a stencil to mask those as best as I could. It was just one of those days, but the card turned out really cute despite the mistakes.
The puffy stickers were adhered to a die cut stitched circle with a hill and clouds sponged onto it, and then I added another Washi Tape sentiment and die cut. The greeting is revealed when you open that second flap, which I thought was fun.
I enjoyed making this trifold card a lot, and look forward to making more!

Fancy fold cards are totally awesome! This week let’s try a tri-fold card. There are several different types. But they all have at least 2 folds and at least 3 panels.
This card, with the three panels, also works for the Fun Friday Challenge #117, which is to "use three of something". You can find all the details for the challenge HERE.
