DTBST #173- Fancy Folds

Welcome to another Dare To Be Sassy Thursday!  This week's challenge is "Fancy Folds".  Well, I'm not usually one to do a lot of fancy folds, so this really was a challenge for me!  I was looking around Split Coast Stampers' tutorials and ran across the Diamond Oragami Card and thought I could use  it  with SSD's Japan Honey image along with Graphic 45's Bird Song papers.  This is what I wound up with:.  This is the card "closed".  It makes it's own little envelope.

 

and opened...(it was really hard to photograph- sorry!)



Once I figured out how to score it properly (oops!), it went together pretty quickly and was fun to do.  I did learn one thing though- don't use a really good quality designer paper like Graphic 45.  Their papers are pretty thick, and when you score and fold it, it will crack along the fold.  Thinner DSP like Stampin' Up would work better.  Anyway, I'm happy with how it turned out and I hope you like it, too!

Now, head on over to the Sassy Studio Designs' blog to play along with us and show us YOUR fancy folds!!
