It’s time for the last Fancy Folds Design Team blog hop of 2021! I have so much fun participating in these blog hops. Even when I’m pushing myself to get it done in time. This month we’re making a Bay Window card. I’ve seen these before and they look so neat! And as usual I’m finding that it’s easier to make than you think. This one especially. You can check out LeeAnn Greff’s video here if you want to try it out yourself.
For my card design I immediately thought of the soon to be released stamp set, In the Moment. One of the images is perfect to set up so that the woman is looking out of bay window. So of course I had to use it! The next piece to my design was the Designer Series Paper. I was using the Beauty of Earth DSP for another project and one of the designs caught my eye as I was about to put it away. It’s the blue design with what looks like trees and splotches (aka snowflakes possibly).
From here I decided to use Misty Moonlight for my card base and I stamped the image and inner phrase using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. For a bit I debated about colouring the image, but decided I liked it better as is. I did add a few Misty Moonlight snowflakes from the Snowflake Wishes to prop up my window. I die cut it using one of the Meadows dies and the image using the Stitched So Sweetly dies.
If you wanted to add a little something more to this, you could add a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels. This is one time for me where I decided to not add some bling to my card. I know hard to believe right?! Here’s the card…
The Bay Window card is such a simple fun fold to make! Remember to keep hopping and check out all the cards. Up next is Mette Nordling Shaw’s card which you can check out here.
