Thank You!

Hi,

It's time for another challenge at The Crafty Pad; this week it's my Team A "teamie" Diane's turn to set the challenge and she is asking everyone to Use More than One Fold.  So, let your folding tools run riot in your craft room! Your creation could be gate fold, concertina, tri-shutter fold ... as long as it's got more than one fold we'd love to see it!


Our sponsors this week are the lovely girls at Joanna Sheen who are offering this week's lucky winner a £10 voucher to spend in their online store!!!!! And remember that they charge no postage and packing (apart from a few items unavailable to non UK customers) for any country in the world providing you spend a minimum of £9.


I've chosen a lovely Crafty Pad Designs image for my card as I'm trying to get ahead in doing "Thank You" cards for my girls' teachers! This Bookworm is perfect for the job!


My card recipe is as follows:
  • Base Card - made from Ivory Centura Pearl 300gsm Card which I cut, scored and folded to make a 10.5cm square (when flat) spring card
  • Design Papers - are Blue Damask  and Dots Paper, both from the set called The Best of Fall by Summer at Summertime Designs
  • Image - Bookworm Teacher Thank You is just one of the many fantastic images by Debbie at The Crafty Pad Designs and you can get your own copy by clicking here! I think this image is perfect for cards for all those male teachers out there. I brought this Bookworm to life using my Spectrum Noir Pens in the following colours: 
    • Worm - FS2, FS3
    • Pencil - TN3, TN4, TN5, IG1
    • Apple - EB1, DG2, DG3
    • Book - EB1, EB2, JG6
    • Outline - IG1
As this card is for my youngest daughter's (male) class teacher I have deliberately used muted colours and left this card embellishment free. However, if this card was for a female teacher it could easily be embellished!


My card has 5 folds, but make sure this week's Guest Designer and my "Talented Teamies" have kept up with this week's challenge of Using More than One Fold by going over to The Crafty Pad and checking out their creations. Then see what you can make for this week's challenge and come back and show us! You've got until 8pm (BST) on Saturday 30th June 2012 to link your cards up.

With a little help from the girls at Feline Playful (thanks girls!), I would like to enter this card for the following challenges:
Have a great week!

Hugs, Helen x
