8:15 JULYVSND We all like closure

stampintree · 07-16-2005, 05:15 PM

We all like closure, so here's your challenge:

Any stamp set, any technique, just make your fold and your closure unique! No 4 1/4 scoring, no top folds, no side folds. Most unique and most decorative are in the running for a prize, and if it's just simply great and creative to our eyes!

Don't forget keyword: JULYVSND

And now my cohost will give some examples:

I know this is probably a silly question to most of you, but what is 4 1/4 scoring?

Thanks!

Can't wait to get going on this one!

Hey ladies! Have fun with this one! I sure did.;)

Here is the first example...
Closed and opened!

4 1/4 is where you regularly score when you fold your card stock in half to make a card.

scrown8301 · 07-16-2005, 05:19 PM

Awaiting examples because confucius say huh?

kristransue · 07-16-2005, 05:19 PM

I smell an opportunity for the hodgepodge . . . . woo hoo!

stampintree · 07-16-2005, 05:20 PM

Robyn has used a beautiful brass clasp to secure her card folds....thank you Robyn and now for the other examples.....

WeeBeeStampin · 07-16-2005, 05:20 PM

Umm are pocket cards included or not?

scrown8301 · 07-16-2005, 05:20 PM

O.k. I think I get it but not sure. Let me go try......

Amanda_Sewell · 07-16-2005, 05:20 PM

Yay, totally interesting Tree, I am off to give it my best shot ;) Thanks for the ideas Robyn ;)

Robyn Kuritz · 07-16-2005, 05:21 PM

And the second example...I used velcro to close this. And as much I would like to lay claim to this one...I CASE'd it from a Stamp It! mag...:o

stampintree · 07-16-2005, 05:21 PM

In other words....funky folds, funky cards...use velcro, buttons, hemp, ribbon, just don't fold your cardstock in half! Trifolds, interesting and new technique folds and interesting/decorative ways to keep your card closed until the recipient receives it to open it!

Sharon... you are cracking me up! Confucius say Huh? I am with you there!

stampintree · 07-16-2005, 05:22 PM

YES - pocket cards, waterfall cards, ANYTHING that isn't a standard card fold! Agree Robyn?

Robyn Kuritz · 07-16-2005, 05:23 PM

And my last example is one that I used the strip of Barely Banana CS to close the card.

Have fun. ;)

scrappn_gal · 07-16-2005, 05:24 PM

I don't even get the first card Dorinda! :( But I know who does and boy are they gonna be surprised!

Robyn Kuritz · 07-16-2005, 05:24 PM

Also, in the 2005-2006 Catty on page 212 they have Petal cards...this might be another idea for you to use too.;)

emilymomto3boys · 07-16-2005, 05:46 PM

Okay, here's my first card of the night! Kinda simple, but it's my first time to do one this way!

My oversized card has a a funky flower on the tab, ribbon runs thru a loopy brad ( waiting to get a hodgepodge kit) and goes around the whole card. Colors inspired by the new line of school stuff at target. This was a blast! But you should see the damage my toddler is doing to the house while I play! At least she is happy.

Girls girls girls! I went to Home Depot for the hasp. It's easy to get and I can get over there to get more later this week...Or you could all go and get one and make ME a card! ;) I love mail too!!!!

MonTigg · 07-16-2005, 05:50 PM

I cased it cause I am not cool enough to come up with some fancy way of closing! But I am happy with it and I have to get my hubby lunch!!

Here it is I have to take a quick break to grab my hubby lunch!! Poor baby almost 4 and I didn't feed him!

Hahahaaa....that is too funny! You should see my house too! My toddler and 4 yo are just trashing everything. I have a lot to clean up when this is all over, and not just my stamp table....:rolleyes:

stampintree · 07-16-2005, 05:53 PM

Y'all are giving me such great ideas!

tarponnancy · 07-16-2005, 05:54 PM

Ugh! I smudged it.

texasjodylynn · 07-16-2005, 05:55 PM

I decided to go with a "french door" theme.

Here is my card:

TMDMom · 07-16-2005, 05:55 PM

Okay, I got it done under the wire....no thanks to my coluzzle which went kaplooie in the middle of everything...had to use an Xacto instead.

BTW, Robyn...it's for me, isn't it? ;)
