Stamp With Anne: Fancy Fold Blog Hop- Christmas Pines Secret Message Card

Hello,

Welcome to this month's Fancy Fold Blog Hope. We are a group of demonstrators that gather once a month to showcase different Fancy Folds each month from all over the world!! Today, our design team is excited to showcase the Secret Message Card.

If you're already been blog hopping then you just came from the talented Shannean Moncrieff and if you are joining us for the first time, not a problem as you can continue on the blog by clicking on the next button at the bottom of the page to scroll through the rest of this creative blog hop!!

This is was the first time that I did a secret fold card and had to watch this video by France Martin from Frenchiestamps to learn how to do it. After a few plays and rewinds, I finally figure it out! Let me tell you this secret card is so fun and unique!!

When creating the card, I thought it would be best if the outside was embossed with a design on it and decided the Holly Embossing folder would be the perfect fit for my card.

I found the easily way to keep my card close was by creating a belly band for it. The Emerald Envy Belly Band was 1 1/4 by 8 1/2 and the Present and Pinecones Designer Series Paper was 1 by 8 1/2.

Now here comes the magic part of this card also known as the secret part! Each of my Whisper White strips were weave in and out of the Cherry Cobbler card stock to create a unique window with 4 white square on one side and 4 on another! I decorated each square with images from the Christmas Pines stamp set and matching Pretty Pines Thinlit Dies. I used the colour combination of Emerald Envy, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso and White as these are the coordinating colour in the designer series paper pack.

Are you ready for the next secret panel???

Another panel with 4 more whisper white squares with 4 different images on that. Is that not the coolest thing ever?? I added a little bit of Wink of Stella to my pine cone to give it a little bit of shine!!

I tried to capture the secret part to this card and have two more pictures to share with you on how it works. Here is the first part of the secret panel section.

And here is the second part of the secret panel!! To find the second part of the secret panel, you have to pull apart the middle section to reveal the secret layer. How cool is that??

Want to give this fancy fold a try, I would recommend watch the video link above to get you started. I have to say that this fancy fold was super easy and so much fun!! I can't wait to give it a try again with a few other stamp set!!

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope this has given you some inspiration to give this Fancy Fold technique a try!! Next up on the blog hop is the talented France Poitras Martin. Enjoy the rest of the blog hop!!!
