Wedding Card as a Double Dutch Fold Using CTMH Feels Like Home Paper Pack

Hello friends! How is the weather where you are?  I hope you have time to craft or at least do something that you enjoy and relax.  I don't know about you; but I seem to have an issue with relaxing.  I guess that is why I can't sleep at night.  I seem to relax while creating; but not always.  

I created a Double Dutch Fold card for a friend; and decided to also do this wedding card for my granddaughter; who is getting married in June.  I doubt she will receive anything like this one.  LOL!  I hope she doesn't see it online.  I don't think her or her mother ever look at my blog or my videos.  

I had a lot of fun creating this card and trying to come up with something that would make it unique.  I love the CTMH stamp sets that I used.  The sentiments are unique and quite catchy.  LOL!  It felt like it was missing something; so I added the border at the top at the last minute.  I think it added that little something I was looking for.

I created a video to show you how to create this Double Dutch Fold Card; which you can find at:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDG5rD7AqUM

See my previous post for the first card that I created like this one.  It is also on the video above.

Thinking Of You - Double Dutch Fold Card with Video Link

Hello friends!  How is everyone?  It has been a crazy mixed blend of weather here in Southern CA.  Cold one day, hot the next, raining the next; so nothing stays the same for long here.  If you stick around long enough; you will have the weather you want.  LOL!

I have been trying to create unusual folds/cards that I find on the Internet and on YouTube.  I thought it might be fun to try something different.  I made a video for this one as well.  It is a Double Dutch Fold Card; which I have never seen before. I watched a video created by Sam at https://mixedupcraft.com/2018/10/24/double-dutch-fold-card/.

It was a lot of fun to create.  I made a Thinking of You card first; which is this one and then my next one is a Wedding card using the same card type.  I will probably make a few more with this same concept.  It's easy once you get the measurements down correctly.  

I created a video to show you how to create this Double Dutch Fold Card; which you can find at:  https://youtu.be/UDG5rD7AqUM

Here is my link for Cricut Design Space if you would like to have it for cutting the pieces.  I didn't add the score lines; but you could add them if it would help you.  I found it easier to cut and score the base card myself.  https://design.cricut.com/#/design/140678951


Also, see my next post for the wedding card that I created like this one.
