Pile It On! Challenge - Fancy Folds

This week at Pile It On! our challenge theme is:

'Fancy Folds'
(We want to see easel cards, step cards, stair cards, diamond fold cards...basically anything with more than one fold)

We are sponsored for this challenge by the Technique Junkies


I'll update this with the prize info later.

I decided to make an easel card, but tried something a little different (well, different for me)...and didn't add a square panel to the front of the card, leaving the image popping up above the fold instead. The adorable pup is 'Birthday Beagle' by Whipper Snapper, and I coloured him using watercolour pencils. I embossed some blue Core'Dinations card using my Cuttlebug 'Diamond Plate' and Craft Concepts 'Hexagon Illusion' folders...sanding over the rasied areas to reveal the coloured core. The sentiment stamp is from the 'Fabulous Birthday' set by Hero Arts, the ribbon is from Hobbycraft and the brads are by Papermania. I distressed all of the edges using 'Old Paper' and 'Pumice Stone' Distress Inks, and my distressing tool.


Here's a view from the side:


Here are the challenges I've Piled On!:
