A Fancy Fold First for Me!!

Hello There Fellow Crafters! 

It's my DT Day and for your viewing pleasure and hopefully inspiration, 

I have created a Tri-Fold Shutter Card for you

featuring Bumble Bear Smile!

This card was completely inspired by 

Bets Kondrot's card she posted to the MelJen's Club on facebook. 

I'll be honest, I've never done a fancy fold card before. I've steered clear for a number of reasons, but when I saw her fancy fold, I thought I just had to give it a try! 

I hit a few speed bumps in my creation. The one I hit repeatedly was my cutting. 

I was mismeasuring some of the spaces and had to recut and recut. LOL! But aside from that, I had fun! I will be posting a tutorial on how I made this card next month, so watch out for it!

Thanks for visiting & stay crafty my friends!
