Impossible Fold Card - White Christmas

Today's card is my first attempt at an

"Impossible Card" fold

and is my design team project for the week

at Through The Craft Room Door.

The center image (sentiment)

is called White Christmas and

was supplied by this weeks sponsor

Decosses Dynamite Doodles

Prize:  A Touch of Class kit

Our challenge is an anything crafty goes
challenge that lasts for the week.
Share with us what you've been working on
for a chance to win !

Thanks for looking =)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

PROJECT DETAILS:

This is for a 5" x 7" card.

You can alter it to make other sizes

Grasp the left side of the card in your hand

and carefully bend the right side along the center score line. 

The bottom portion will

bend backwards and the top portion will

come forwards along the score.

It's an "Ah ha!" moment once you do it!

The side pieces are decorated with

additional layers of card stock

that are trimmed a bit smaller to fit.

Once the side panels are added,

you will want to adhere a strip of

 card stock across the gap of the two

bottom panels to help hold it in place.

Decorate as you wish.

Push the center panel down for mailing

Fairy Jar Lanterns - group 3

I'm finally getting around to sharing the fairy jars / lanterns I made last month! These are the final three of nine that I made. I think they'll be donated to a local charity resale shop.

Reusing candle jars, covered with wrinkled tissue paper and Mod Podge.
I added felt to the bottoms of them on the outside to protect surfaces they sit on.
Various goodies from my craft supply stash to embellish them. Some could be customized (the purple on has a blank tag for a name or special word).
Battery operated tea light candles - DO NOT USE REAL CANDLES !

This is something that I've not seen in quite some time:

a walking stick !

Fairy Jar Lanterns - group 2

I'm finally getting around to sharing the fairy jars / lanterns I made last month. There are 3 more to share tomorrow.

Reusing candle jars, covered with wrinkled tissue paper and Mod Podge.
I added felt to the bottoms of them on the outside to protect surfaces they sit on.
Various goodies from my craft supply stash to embellish them.
Battery operated tea light candles - DO NOT USE REAL CANDLES !

Fairy Jar Lanterns - group 1

I'm finally getting around to sharing the fairy jars / lanterns I made last month. There are 6 more to share, divided up in the next two days posts.

Reusing candle jars and a pickle jar, covered with wrinkled tissue paper and Mod Podge.
I added felt to the bottoms of them on the outside to protect surfaces they sit on.
Various goodies from my craft supply stash to embellish them, including old book pages.
Battery operated tea light candles - DO NOT USE REAL CANDLES !

Because I am repurposing several items on these jars, I am entering (the top one using the book pages) into the current challenge at Shopping Our Stash - Upcycle

Thanks for looking =)

I'm not sure what this flowering plant is,

but the butterflies are loving it !

There are nine of them in this photo.

Cross Stitch Ornaments

Earlier this year we went to a church fundraiser yard sale.

I bought a grab bag of various crafty items,

most of which I could not use so I donated them.

However, there were some things I could work with.

These little cross stitch pieces were unfinished,

part of a mini treat bag kit. 

I decided to turn them into ornaments instead of 

finishing off the mini treat bags.

I cut some quick stik mounting board to fit the images.

I ran heavy duty double stick tape around the edges of the back,

pulling the fabric around and adhering in place.

I added little dabs of hot glue to the corners to hold them well.

A little trim was hot glued in place, gold cord hangers

then white chipboard cut to fit and glued over it all

to finish it off. 

I'm entering my project in the current

Animals challenge at Use Your Stuff
since there is a bear on one:)
