I made a Fancy Folds Card. I used dimensions found here. Thank you, JanTink, for your clear directions. There are many sites with directions, but I liked this size today.
The frustrating part was that things just went wrong making this card, but my Dad will still love it and hopefully you’ll appreciate me sharing my mistakes. First, here is the card; closed and then opened.
OK, I know this, but tried it anyway – DON’T use heavy textured cardstock for intricate cuts in the Cricut. All these layers were a little pain. I wanted the texture so I toughed it out, but it could have been a much neater cut with good paper. I am having a hard time finding good plain cardstock that is not too heavy or textured, but doesn’t look cheap and flimsy for my Cricut cuts. I’d love some suggestions!!! Then I used my glue pen and everywhere the glue seeped out, it has left little shiny spots that cannot be picked up with the little rubber eraser without messing up my little details. Next time I will use my Xyron, but I was concerned sticking these little pieces in there. And thank goodness I have “The Quicker-Poker-Picker-Upper”. That little tool has come in handy many times.
Here is the card open. I liked this card so Dad can maybe put it on his desk. The card and my picture looks better than it is uploading here. I am still working on those photography skills and patience. I finally just get frustrated and post what I have rather than fiddling with it any longer. Keep watching me learn and grow, because with every card, page, or project, I do learn something to make my work better and better. Hopefully soon it will start showing in my work that I post.
Thanks for stopping by and seeing my work today.
This came out awesome! It is all a learning experience, isn’t it?
Very Cute 🙂 I love it!
He came out great. I like the fold too. I’m just going to have to break down and buy that Scor Pal.
