Curvy Pop-up with the Fancy Folds Team

 

It is August and we are back with another fancy fold. 

Usually, August is rather warm here in Cairns, and it was a few weeks ago, but then this week we had another cold spell with a couple of nights with temperatures under 10 degrees (C), so we had to get the socks back out! ❄️

Yesterday our school held its fete, which is put on by the P&C committee made up of volounteer parents. Our school used to have a huge fete, but due to COVID we haven't had one the last 2 years, so we decided to start out small just in case. And thank god we did, it was a huge job for our small committee, but we pulled it off and the night was a success ending with fireworks. I don't know how the previous committee managed to pull the bigger fete off, cause this slightly downsized version was a lot of hard work.

This month's fancy fold is a curvy-pop-up card fold, and it is super easy.

This tutorial from Lisa Curcio is easy to follow.

I used the beautiful Hues of Happiness suite for this card, and I absolutely love it. And this is what I came up with.

I stared with Basic White for the card base and then layered with the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. This paper is great, it has a very busy side with flower patterns and a more muted side with just colour.

I did the front panel in Blushing Bride which is not actually in the paper, but I thought it matched well enough. I used the blending brushes to blend some darker pink ink up from the bottom. I then heat embossed the sentiment from Happiness Abounds with white embossing powder.

I stamped some flowers and leaves in Memento Black on Basic White, coloured them with Stampin' Blends and cut them out with the Blossoming Happiness dies. I finished the flowers off with some Wink of Stella, as one can never have too much sparkle.

I didn't decorate the back of the card, but added some Blushing Bride cardstock. When I am ready to gift the card, i will write on a piece of Basic White and add to the back.

And here it is, this is such an easy card, and it sits really nicely on a shelf.
