I absolutely love the color combination of Copper Clay and Boho Blue! After finding this criss-cross fun fold from Terri Gaines with Create with Terri Gaines, I immediately created these two cards based on her video. The first card uses the Boho Blue as the main color. The second uses Copper Clay as the color for the mats.
Here are my spring daisies cards:
The last image is the bird’s eye view of the card when opened. I’ve already posted a card using this fold, and you can see that card here.
I always try to post fun fold cards to the current Creative Creases Challenge, and I chose the Copper Clay card for the challenge.
My Template:
I have finally organized all my fun fold templates in a mini-binder with page protectors. Each page protectors holds a template(s) for different fun folds. I’ve moved this template to the first page protector and have already created a number of cards for future challenges and blog hops using this criss cross fold.
Here’s my template:
I used the retired Cheerful Daisies DSP (designer series paper) because of the pattern and the colors. While the Cheerful Daisies stamp set is no longer available, the die set is on last chance for $20.40. The sentiments are from the retired Sweetly Scripted and the Charming Sentiments stamp sets. Any sentiment will work for this criss-cross fun fold.
