All Aboard

Hi Crafty Friends

I hope everyone is enjoying the rare occurrence of Summer! I have been enjoying feeding the ducks and the swans who cruise past my window.

I love making nautical or sea side cards, they seem so summery and so I came up with this. It's a DL Z-fold, because I wanted to use a pile of pearlescent card - A4 cut in half longways which I bought a couple of months ago at a show. I also had the papers which survived the fire.

I like having so many surfaces to decorate, though it is rather time consuming, and a bit of a push for the club, but everyone enjoyed it. I just provided lots of dies, inks etc and people chose their own decorations - it was good to see all the different takes on the basic idea.

Here's what it looks like opened out. I like to include little pockets for extra messages, and there's room to write on the horizontal banner.

I liked the fold so much I made several more

And there's a couple more waiting to see if I can load them up with any more bits and pieces.
Happy crafting
