8:15 JULYVSND We all like closure
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!

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

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!

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

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.

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:
