CCEE2043 - More Than One Fold

CCEE October hostess, Frances Byrne, has asked the CCEE Stampers to create a card that has more than one fold this week… Gatefold, Z Fold Card, Easel card etc. 

I am featuring a card which uses the fold that was featured in last week's sketch challenge at Splitcoaststampers. The thread includes a YouTube tutorial for creating this design. It is fun and easy and, as a bonus, creates a pocket inside that is perfect for stashing cash or a gift card!

This card was created for my oldest granddaughter who is getting married this Sunday at an outdoor wedding in the mountains of Georgia, thus the autumn colors and theme.

I used Momenta dies for the leaves and acorns and the designer paper is Autumn Splendor by Simple Stories.

Check out the fun folds that the members of the CCEE Stampers design team chose to feature this week:

Endless Love

Here is my take on a design that has been making the rounds at SCS. I don't know the origin, but it sure is cute. I used my Scor-Pal to put tucks in the groom's shirt and a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the bride's gown.
