TLC362 ~Try THIS, or Try That ~ (01/30/12)
Howdy Stampers!
I have a confession to make. I am a Pintrestaholic. Yes, I need a 12 step program... or maybe just a ONE step (get off the site!) LOL. But, there are so many inspiring photos! In fact, the challenge I bring to you today I found through my surfing of Pinterst.
~ Try THIS, or Try That ~
Actually, I am tossing out TWO challenges today. The first one is a fancy fold that I think you're going to love. And, if that seems a little too intimidating to you, I have a second... more tame... challenge.
Challenge A:
Cascading card... This fold was developed by Sonia Sellers @ Sonia's Crafty Patch. You can view the construction of the card HERE. YOU WILL WANT TO CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO ENLARGE.
***Please do not be intimidated by this fold. If you read the instructions carefully, it does come together quite easily!***
EDIT TO ADD:
Well our very own MariLynn and her brilliance has adjusted the instructions to use an 8 1/2 x 11" piece of cardstock. She has also made a video! Check it out on her blog HERE!
or...
Challenge B:
Double Vision... If you do not want to try the fancy fold at this time, I challenge you to create a card using the double vision technique. If you're not familiar with that, it is simply stamping your image/sentiment in one color and then stamping again in a complimentary color slightly off from the original color. You can see it in my card (I used that technique for my sentiment).
Here is my sample:
~ Cascading Garden ~
When uploading, please include the KEYWORD TLC362 (no spaces)
You can view the entire TLC362 gallery HERE.

Better directions would be wonderful since they are blurry when I enlarge.

I'm not sure what browser you're using, but I've opened the picture in Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari. All three browser are clear as day. Let me see what I can do. We'll get readable directions for you!

I'm using a Mac and Firefox. Clicking twice makes the images plenty big to read, and they're still sharp. This looks like great fun. I'll give it a go tomorrow! Thanks, Holly!

I love doing fancy fold cards, so I gave the cascading card a try. It was not as difficult as it looked -- just very time consuming. I started it last night when Holly posted it, but didn't finish it until this morning. I'm going to give it to my BFF for her birthday next month.

I'm using IE -- and not a problem with clarity. I clicked the photo twice to enlarge the directions.

Obsessive/compulsive person that I am, I had to do a card for the alternate challenge too. Here it is --

Yeah, you are...lol... but I see that it may not be clearly marked. In the original post I have a link.... but I'll just repost here for you:
http://mycraftypatch.files.wordpress...1/dsc03176.jpg
If you click on the picture once it's opened, it will enlarge and you can see the instructions quite easily.
Sorry for the confusion Can't wait to see what you do!

I decided on the cascade fold card. Thanks Holly for a great new fold. This will be very adaptable for a number of occasions. I spent a fair bit of time getting things all loined up but it was definitely worth it. Her is my "Cascading Love".

I'm a "day late and a dollar short" for the TLC, but I just wasn't inspired yesterday...BUT today, "double vision" seemed just what I needed for my winter's scene. Thanks, Holly!

The cascading card was such a fun technique that I had to make another one.

I had a little trouble opening the instructions so I googled Trifold Cascade Card and found this template:
Crafts images | Crafts photos, crafts pictures
There is also another page with a picture and some more written instructions. I think I cut mine wrong, but it still came together ok. I had to wait until daylight to take a photo of the card. Here it is:

Love the technique challenge this week. I didn't have time for "This" so I went for "That" and doubled it up with the colour challenge this week.
Have a great week, ladies

I don't know if I got it right, but I used the double vision technique on my Love the Staff card.

TLC362 Happy Fruit
For the Try a New Technique double image, I went with SU's-Tart and Tangy- with some coloring and ink daubing added. I added some texture with Cuttlebug's Halloween EF, and a colored brad, too. Here's Happy Fruit

If you go to the top of this page Holly has the directions; just click on the green 'here' after the lady's website who came up with the idea.
