Flexagonal card POST FOR EXPLORING CRICUT AND MORE

Hello friends!

 I hope your week is of to a great start! Today is the beginning of another fun challenge over at Exploring Cricut, the theme: Crafter's choice include at least two (2) diecuts...This one is easy peasy right?

For my project today I decided on a simple card, but I have been dying to try the Flexagon technique Sandy G. shared a few weeks ago. This is a fun and unexpected way to send some love ;)... And here is my take:


I used self adhesive wrapping paper instead of the craft paper recommended in the tutorial, because mine was black and white and coordinated perfectly with my color scheme (wrapping paper is from Hallmark) I really like the fact that it " magically" switches the sentiment from top to bottom and there is still enough space to write some love ;)

The triangles where cut using the eCraft and the "sentiment" cut using the eBosser and thin metal dies.

I hope you give this a try and play along with us this week, for more inspiration don't forget to stop by the rest of the DTs blogs' I am sure you will find lots of inspiration!

 Thank you for taking time to stop by, I do appreciate your comment, have a wonderful and blessed day!

Liz

Good morning cricuteers!! I hope your week is off to a fabulous start! This fine Monday morning brings another Exploring Cricut Challenge! . This week we are having a Christmas in July Blog hop/ Challenge. So If you came from Michelle S blog you are in the right place! If you just happen to stumble upon my blog ;) and would like to check out all the inspiration provided by the Exploring Cricut  team please start here. There might be a few surprises along the way ::hint:: I hope you join us on this blog hop and challenge!!    For my project I Created a Card/Gift bag Decor. I have seen some " Card Holders" that you add to the front of a plain GB to help you "show off" your card, after all you have invested time and effort into it so why not showcasing it as part of the gift wrap :).. ( But for the life in me I cannot recall where I saw them or what they are called :?)  Got inspired from this idea . So if anyone knows please let me know so I can give credit...
