September - Creative Card Chicks - Mr. Megaphone

 Hi, friends,

Yes, it is time for the September Creative Card Chicks challenge. I am still catching up and need to do July and August, but thought since I was ready, I'd go ahead and post September. Also, I'm the hostess for this month, so good to be on time. Every month we have a different hostess who picks the theme or sends a kit out. Since I am still recovering from my hand surgery, I chose to send a challenge to the group. The challenge was to do a masculine card using a fancy fold. They could also use a stamp that they normally couldn't use because of the angel policy or they could use a digital image. I'm excited to see all the different cards that they make. Here is mine.

My image is from Twistoon digi stamps created by Lisa Twistoon. She does free digi stamps now so you can go to her website twistoon.com and download five free images every day. I still have a bunch from when she was selling them. This one is called Mr. Megaphone. Her images are all a little bit wonky which I love.

The sentiment inside is from SU Balloon Adventures.

My fancy fold is from Karen Titus, Create With Us. For her cards, she used a piece of 5 1/2 x 12 double sided designer paper. This was my first try so I just used a piece of cream cardstock from my stash. Either way, you score the paper at 1 3/4, 4 3/4, and 7 3/4. Fold on all score lines, but have a hill in the middle and glue them together. That makes like a little book. I stamped the image twice and mounted it on a blue SU cardstock. I need to look to see which it was. I didn't write it down. Line up the second image behind the first and attach it to the inside fold. Then take your sentiment and line it up behind the first two images and glue it down on the inside. You can see above how it looks from the outside and then how it looks open. The designer paper I used was from Pink Paislee - Birthday Bash. 

I used my Copic markers to color the images and stamped the sentiment with Memento, Tuxedo Black. It was fun to look at a lot of different fancy fold cards. I need to start doing more of that to make cards more interesting.
