Hello and happy September!  I'm so glad that you're here and hope you are having a wonderful day!  Today I am hopping with some of my talented stamping friends from around the world who love creating with Stampin' Up!® products as much as I do!  We love hopping on the second weekends of the month - Saturday or Sunday depending on where you are in the world - and love sharing lots of inspiration with you.  There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and relax with your favorite cuppa as you peruse the hop.  

This month we are sharing projects based on our Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge!  I am sure that you will find lots of different interpretations and inspiration from this fun challenge.   

Today's Project

I couldn't resist pulling out the Caring Leaves Stamp Set from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog for this fun challenge!

Project Details

This amazing new stamp set can create some amazing One Sheet Wonder and CAS (Clean and Simple) cards.  With the center element of our challenge, I just had to push myself to create a fun-fold with a CAS feel.

The outline images of the leaves were stamped with Pecan Pie and Cajun Craze ink.  The fill images of the leaves were stamped with Calypso Coral, Blackberry Bliss and Wild Wheat.  The leaves were fussycut and randomly adhered to a Basic White cardstock layer.

The Wild Wheat 3/8" Rustic Striped Ribbon was adhered to the Basic White layer and wrapped around to the back of the front fold of the Wild Wheat cardbase.  The ribbon just makes you want to reach out and touch it making it the perfect part of the card to use to open the card.

The inside of the card showcases the perfect sentiments that can be used for any occasion from birthdays, encouragement, thinking of you, thank you, congratulations or just because!

    1. Something fun that I created on my own... I'm sure there is something out there in the papercraft world similar to it... I personally, would call it a W-fold if it must have a name. It's just a creative fun-fold to me. :)

  4. Wow, I love this fold! It's just a difference in folding but it changes everything and the card should stand up really well! And I love this little discreet seasonal set so much, it makes me happy to see it working here. Thanks for the inspiring share Angie!
