This blinz technique was a great way to use up scraps on my table. Very easy too! I've been meaning to try out making a longer card, and this technique made for an easy first try with a simple layout. What do you think?
The one thing I learned while doing this....I used a really heavy double sided pp by Wild Asparagus and I started gluing the folded pieces down with my normal glue. BIG MISTAKE!!!! It needed a really strong bond, so after everything came popping up, I used glue dots to glue them back down, and so far, so good. Live and learn...and it wasn't too bad of a mistake..lol!
TFL!

Accessories: white brads from making memories; acrylic flower w/ brad is unknown...I picked it up at the ST. Louis CKC convention last year and have lost the company name.

Wow! This is fabulous! Love that you used three of these babies and made a long card with them! Love the flower in the middle... I used thick dp too so instead of trying to glue it I put the brads thru all the layers... seemed to work fine. I was afraid to glue it so I know what you mean but hey, you fixed it so no problem! Great card!!!!

One classy card - I love the tall card with the three little blintzes.
My problem with thick card-stock never even got as far as holding it together - even when I creased it it didn't look so good. That was when I made one back for the Ways to Use It, She Scores. I still have the square waiting to provide scraps for something else, LOL.
