HWNSNBP says that I need a nickname. I told him that I already have one - Princess Origami. He doesn't think that's good, but I like it. I think I'm even going to make myself a Princess Origami crown and possibly costume to wear for Halloween. Of course, no one will know who I am, but that's okay.
When I saw this card-fold I knew I had to give it a try. There's a very good tutorial by Wendy Weixler here. The one difference that I made was to score my first scores at 3 1/4" to center the those diamond shapes a little better.
This card was destined for a co-worker along with a strawberry coring tool that I had been telling her about.
But before I sent it Rachel needed a Thank You card for someone and this was the only one I had with me that would have been suitable so I gave it to her to use and made another.
Just a little bit different on the outside.
I like this fold. It's not hard at all and is a good way to use some of the accumulated dsp that I have.
For both cards I used Tart n Tangy for the strawberry and Vintage Vogue for the rest.
I know I still have to play catch-up on a couple of posts, but this one has popped up just at the end of my breakfast-in-bed. I must try that difference in the scoring. And I really love what you've done on the inside with Vintage Vogue. I made a couple and still think I'd need to make a couple more to get a handle on how to decorate them, but you seem to have taken to it like a duck to water.
ReplyDeleteHope the back to school doesn't have too many hiccups.
Ooh! What a fun little gift.....both the strawberry core thingy (I think I saw one of those recently at Bed, Bath and Beyond!) and this fun card! So cool...you are always trying new stuff! Good for you! I love that about you!
ReplyDeleteOkay, since your hubby doesn't like Orgami Princess and thinks you need a new nic-name and you want to be a Princess....how about a compromise with the new nicname of...
I Reign Lorraine!
That way, he gets a new nickname for you, you getta be a princess and whenever you want to do something, go somewhere or buy something he doesn't agree with, you can say to him.....
Honey, I am............
I Reign Lorraine!
I's good to be Queen, I mean Princess!
