For the Heart 2 Heart challenge, the instructions are simple...create a project with a Christmas theme. For this challenge, you may use any products available to you. There is no need to use Close to my Heart products.
For the Double Trouble challenge, the instructions are a little more detailed, but also more fun:
WELCOME to Challenge #5 - And Let Our Trouble Begin THING 1 Trouble Maker is making her list, checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty and nice. Won't you play along as Christmas comes early and join us for our challenge "Christmas Only" with a sentiment or journaling.
THING 3 Twisted Sister
says don't get your tinsel in a tangle, add the twist of a fun and fancy fold. Look to Pinterest, You Tube and even Google for lots of ideas. This is optional.
If you link up to Heart2Heart you get an additional chance for the Double Trouble Random draw
THING 2 Double Dare
dares you to link up your creation to Heart2Heart for "Christmas in July" theme. This theme is open from Monday, July 16th through Sunday, July 31st.
Heart2Heart (for this theme only) has allowed you to enter this challenge and if you don't have a CTMH product don't worry about it... You are welcome to use any products.
So here is what I created for you:
I was able to meet Twisted Sister's challenge of creating a card with folds..I hope these pictures show this well enough.
I want to give credit where credit is due, so here is the link to the tutorial for making this card: Dawn's Stamping Thoughts. I did use Close to My Heart Products for my cards, but remember...for this challenge, it is not necessary. Of interest, is the sentiment on the first card. A couple friends and I traveled to a shop in Iowa last week and took a class in foiling. This is an example of that process...so much fun!
So with all this being said, I invite you to create a Christmas project using folds and link it to one or both of these challenges:Heart 2 Heart Christmas in July and Double Trouble Christmas Only You have until July 31st to do so. By entering both, you will be eligible for Double Trouble's random drawing!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas...in July!

These cards are GREAT, Sue!!! I love that fold! I'm gonna have to try it. Do you mind if I CASE? I will link back to your blog if I post :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kim. Of course, you may CASE. I found the tutorial from Dawn's Stamping Thoughts on Pinterest. You may want to give her credit also. Enjoy!
DeleteThanks for sharing your DT cards at Heart2Heart with us at Double Trouble...didn't realize your card was a fold card until I saw the other photos in your blog...great job and pretty cards. For additional chances for a random draw you can add your second card to our challenge as well. Thank you for supporting us in our new Challenge DOUBLE TROUBLE, and hope you continue following us.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words and mentioning adding the second card...I will get that done. I think you have a great concept for a challenge and I will certainly be submitting as time allows.
DeleteThis looks like a fun easy fold...I'm going to have to give it a spin. Thanks for joining us at Double Trouble.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun fold card, Sue! I really like the faux cross stitch on the top card and the gold foil on the second. Thank you for joining in the challenge fun at Double Trouble. (I follow Dawn's Stamping Thoughts because she always has great ideas.)
