Hi everyone. Whew.... it's been a long two weeks. I've been out of town for work in Lexington, KY and Irupato, Mexico so it's been a while since my last post.
Today I'm going to post two cards. The first one is called a Z-fold which found on a blog by Carla Bazhenow. I changed it up a little by using two colors instead of one; Crushed Curry CS & Rich Razzelberry DSP [FAV of mine] and this a color of which I'll never tire. Here is what mine looks like.
I think the two colors together are so rich looking. Don't you?
Here is the card closed.
I used the Circle Scallop Die #2, the scallop punch, and also learned how make a scallop inbetween the using a 1 3/8" punch first then going around the circle with the slit punch! How cool is that. I used the polka dot rich razzleberry ribbon with dots showing, where as Carla turned her ribbon to the plain side. I just couldn't cover those adorable dots. I LOVE polka dots and I'm going to miss them as I heard the polka dot ribbons will be discontinued. [Say it isn't so]. The full directions can be found on Carla's blog.
The next card I saw on my upline's blog over at Canopy Crafts and just had to give it a try as well. The following is my 'prototype' and certainly could have been more precise, but I just wanted to get the idea down when it was fresh in my mind. I do plan to use the Ruffle technique again and again.
Well that's it for now!

Great cards, Diane! I, too, will be so sad to lose Crushed Curry... Thanks for the shout-out!
Diane, love the idea you shared of using the slip punch to get an in-between size scallop, great tip.
The Z-fold is a nice change from our regular fold cards too.
Great cards.
Hi there... new follower! =)
