Step Card, Fun Fold a card with many names

The card I'm sharing with you today is one that can be found under many names. Some call it a "Step Card" others a "Fun Fold".

It was definitely fun to make and it has a step in it, as you can see from the side view.  The thing that I wanted to do for sure was make a card that would fit into a regular A2 envelope, so I had to go looking for the instructions that someone else had modified for these measurements. Right now I'm not sure where it was I found these but I will edit this posting later to give the credit to the original author.

 After starting with by base of white CS I added the golden yellow that was embossed with my go to favourite "swiss dots" embossing folder. The sunflower in the middle is a die from Spellbinders that is mounted on a piece of green Bazzil CS. Inside the sentiment is "Just wanted you to know how special you are!" It is another borrowed from M-J's collection.  It seemed perfect because when I made this card I didn't have specfic purpose for it and this way I can use it for many different occasions.
In looking at my stash I only have one more card I think I haven't shared, so I sure hope I'm going to have the time to do some creating very soon.
Thanks for dropping by,

Two Quick & Easy Cards

A great 'yahoo' card group that I belong to called CCB has a challenge for this month to use two different embossing folders on a card front.

I had fun with this challenge yesterday and found that I could get a second different but similar card using what was left from the first card.
I used the CB embossing folders called "Jules Jewells" and one of the combo set "Cindy Loo".  I cut them using the approximate 1/3 rule.  The CS are both some Bazzil in a pale and moss green. The ribbon I purchased is a group of 'odds & ends' at a LSS in their bargain bin.  I used CB die cuts for both the slider and tag.

The sentiments are from a wonderful clear stamp set from 'Papertray Ink' called mixed messages.  M-J gave it to me for my birthday. I'm so lucky, as it is a fabulous set that is just so versatile.

I now have two more cards I can add to my stash of cards which has really been depleted lately due to my lack for productivity.
