Snow Much Fun Swap Card!

This is a card I created for a Christmas card swap I recently participated in:

I just love the Funky Fold, and when I saw the tall snowman from the Snow Much Fun stamp set, I knew he was perfect for this card!

Here is a picture of the inside of this card:

I used the Funky Fold directions found on Laura Lipe's blog at http://smileslaura.blogspot.com/2011/03/leprachaun.html.  They are easy to follow and it makes a really fun card!

Bold Blossom Funky Fold Birthday Card!

When I first saw a card using this fold I really wasn't sure that I liked it, but when I tried it I absolutely LOVED it!  It is so much fun to make that I honestly have trouble not using it on every card!  I keep thinking of stamp sets that would be fun to use with it.  Anyway, here is a picture of a project that we made at April Play Day:

I didn't like my first picture of this card, so took some new ones and added them!  Didn't want my lack of photography skills to detract from this card!
