Hello, my friends! Another post from me! (giggle)
Today's cards are doubly sweet - made with fond thoughts of Jodie (former owner of Bugaboo Stamps), and also for a dear friend who loves her little white mischievous puppies! Her birthday is drawing near, so it was the perfect opportunity to showcase Jodie's silly images for a person who will appreciate them.
Copics, inks, paper-piecing techniques, and recycled ribbon comprise this 5 inch square card.
Does anyone know the name of this fun fold card?
I think it might be called the Triple Panel Pop Out Fold?
Anne Buckingham taught me the mechanics in making the fun fold last year, but I don't know the name of the fold. It's really simple to make. Cut a piece of cardstock that matches the card base - 4 inches wide by however tall your card is (in this case, it is 6" tall). Score the piece at one, two and three inches. Fold into a "square tube". Apply adhesive to the two ends of the "tube" - first and last segments - and adhere both on either side of the card base fold. Be sure to fold the card while your glue is drying to make sure you have placed it perfectly on either side of the card fold. NOTE: It was easier adhering the sentiments after the tube was in place. Decorate with all sorts of ephemera, images, sentiments, die cuts - so cute ~ !

Awww Donna these are just the cutest, you did a fabulous job coloring them too, that is a neat fold, I did one awhile back with my group but don't remember what she named it. Makes for such a fun surprise when opened for sure! Love the little banners too! She will love it!
Gorgeous card and then a great fold on the inside too! Wow, beautifully colored and designed. I'll have to try this!
Donna!! Hello! Thanks so much for sharing 2 great birthday cards with doggies for the B in BEWAS main themes at HQCOLCB!! Awesome! Glad to have your support!! The details on each card are adorable and I do love and miss Bugaboo so much! It was so sad that someone copycat-ed her images/artistic style. On a happy note, your cards are Woof-derful! :)
Wow, that's a cute little dog and a great, funny sentiment. A beautiful and interestingly decorated background. I love the colors you chose. They go really well together and spread good cheer. Great decoration with the bunting. And a really great inside of the card. So beautiful. Hope the birthday was as great as your card is.
Thank you for taking part in the Critter Crazy challenge.
Hugs, Uschi
