WV cards

 Morning and I have two WV cards (so named because of the view from the top)made using the tutorial from HERE.

I am having a purge on my patterned papers(slight admission here not particularly liked papers TBH) and made two cards.

The papers and toppers are from The Paper Boutique and circle dies bought from a decluttering site on FB.

The card is 5"x7" and folds flat to post.

Great cards Carol!
Thank you for sharing with Allsorts!
That's one way to use up paper you don't care for!
Someone else will love it!

HilaryJane said...

Those fancy fold cards are a great way to use up your papers. Well done for using them especially as they are not your favourites. I find it very hard to use something I don't like, but I suppose it is even harder to throw it out! i think they look great xx

Beautiful Cards! Thanks for participating in this week's CRAFT Challenge Blog!

Carol L said...

These cards made great use of those pretty papers you don't care for and that fold design is quite lovely.

Gerrina said...

Great fold cards and love the papers you used on both! Hugs, Gerrina

Melanie Hungerford said...

Those are both just lovely, the coordinating papers are so perfect together and love how you used all the circles. Thanks for joining us at the Paper Funday Challenge!

Donna Ellis said...

Carol, thank you so much for the link to the WV card! It's a new fold to me. Your cards are beautifully detailed, and I love the idea of using digital papers this way - or using up my own patterned paper stash. I especially like the way you have coordinated with "opposing" color panels. Beautiful! hugs, de

*Vicki* said...

These are gorgeous and impressive looking cards Carol! The daisy style papers are very pretty and I'm sure it feels wonderful to use up some of those papers too! Nicely done!

Alyson Mayo said...

These are cute - and a great way to use up patterned papers!

Jean said...

Both cards are super pretty Carol i think the papers are lovely and its a great fold. x

Lisa said...

What a great fold. I am not sure I have seen this fold. Your layout of the papers, circles and pairing with the fold is great. What purging paper, I have not heard of such thing. Oh how I need to purge too. I have been pushing myself to pull out PP for so many cards here recently as I have so much that I fear I will never use it all. LOL!

You may not like the papers but they look lovely on these folded cards. I often find the things I dislike that I make others love the most!

Tee said...

Beautiful fancy fold cards! Love the pretty papers. I 'll have to check out that WV card tutorial! Hugs.

creationsnz said...

Great work using those papers. Jude and I used to have challenges and send each other 'ugly' papers, and it was amazing how they turn out using a different eye. They go together well. CarolG
