Going through the challenges and found Monday's TLC825 for folded paper frame and could not resist making it. I had done one for a teabag folding group some time back and thinking it might be the same, of course I had to check it out. This one, however, was much simpler to make though getting the blending of colours and what to actually put on the card was the most difficult part. I have a lot of scraps I am trying to use up or otherwise toss, I found a chocolate wrapper and thought it would be perfect for the frame - didn't have to cut it fitted exactly. The only difference between the tutorial and my version is that I used double sided tape instead of mounts.
Well that's it, all paper and adhesive, no inks, or stamps - sorry. I wanted to upload yesterday but we had internet troubles to I'm keen to get this done so it doesn't happen again. Thanks for looking.

I'm so sorry I'm slow to comment...the site was such a mess this week, I just gave up. That accordion playing Santa is adorable. In better times, I would have said that it was my favorite part because my ex husband plays the accordion. I used to love it. Sigh. Anyway, moving onward, it's still darling and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you ladies for your lovely comments. Jean sweet of you to comment especially as it reminded you of your ex-husband but I suppose that's how we get over things.

Oh my goodness now I want to look at my chocolate wrappers for inspiration for cards. This is so cute! Recently I made a card that I used a beer can wrapper. I love using up scraps for cards too. I will save up paper scraps and use as much of it as I can before tossing it even punching down parts for adding to cards.
I also love this fold for using that little wrapper. You are so super clever!!!

Thank you Ladies for your lovely comments. Some of my ideas come from my partner so I can't take all the credit. He saved all the wrappers and suggested I could use them for cards etc. Thank you for looking and comments. Cheers.
