Catch the Bug Challenge: Funky Fold

There is a new challenge over at the 

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog:

Funky Folds. And here is my card:

For my card I used the Bugaboo Cat image

and a sentiment from my stash.

I found this great video about a Funky Triangle

Pop Up Folding card:

I folowed the instructions from this tutorial. Only I did not add

so many layers of paper, just one layer of design paper. Otherwise

the card is way to heavy for sending.

For the card you need a piece of 8 x 8  inch cardstock

and some designers papers that match your main focus point.

The bottom of the card also holds a square to

write your message on. Later I added a tiny

velcro circle to both bottom parts of the card.

This way they card keep standing up better (I think).

I decorated the card with some hearts )dies by Sizzix'

and used this wonderful paw paper punch and a "meow"

sentiment by Stampin'Up! (old set called Meow Meow).

I colored the sweet Bugaboo Cat with 

Stampin'Blends.

The hearts are in contrasting colors using the

black cardstock and the pink paw print paper.

This is how you fold the card for senfing.

Fold the bottom parts upwards and

then vertically outwards. Now you can enter

the card in a square 5 x 5 inch envelope.

Totally folded and ready for sending in an envelope

to a friend who needs a bit of cheering up!

If you go to the Catch the Blog Challenge Blog,

you can see mor ideas and add your own card

in the linky party and you might win some great

Bugaboo Digital Stamps to play with for other

challenges. If you have no Bugaboo Stamps, you 

can grab the Friday Freebie to play with.

I liked this way of making a card a lot

 and there is another one tomorrow!

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
