Our group is no longer doing zoom but now we are on skype. We got together for the first time in a long time, Some were moving and others on vacations and just life happening, but we were able to get together at the beginning of this week and made this card with a new technique to me and a different fold.
The first thing we did was to stamp image onto vellum using pigment white ink and then embossing with white embossing powder. Then turn over and using oxide ink, stamp the image again but this time embossing with clear embossing powder, then you pick which side you want to face up and glue it to another piece of cardstock, I went with green cardstock and I used a very thin layer of Simon Says glue stick to adhere the vellum to the cardstock. We embossed a piece of white paper to go on the outside piece, we were to have a colored cardstock base but mine happened to not be colored on the other side so I ended up adding a piece of pattern paper to the inside. Sorry I don't have any of the dimensions or anything, plus I think I messed up on some of the dimension, not sure.
Above I added a paperclip to the bottom so you could see what it looks like closed.
The next picture is it opening naturally, maybe needs a bit more bone folding.
This last picture is both sides opened, I took the picture before writing in my thanks for a friend sending flowers to my brothers funeral.

You are always making 'new-to-you' cards, Connie, and they always look fabulous. How fun to create along with others on Skype. A lovely thank you card for your sweet friend.
Beautiful! Happy weekend.
This is gorgeous! Love the use of Vellum (on anything!) the stamping and heat embossing is so pretty! It's a perfect little thank you card and it's a FUN fold! This is great! Glad you got to get together--no matter how! ;)
This is so pretty, Connie. I love the soft sweet touch of the butterfly.
So many fun folds on this sweet card! The embossed vellum gives it such a soft and pretty look. This is lovely!
Beautiful card, Connie. Love the twist on the gate fold technique xoxo
this is such a cool card with a unique to me fold and opening!! the colors are so pretty, pastels that go brilliantly together!! once you make one design, you should make several cards the same, they are just so beautiful!!
It's good that you can get together on Skype.
I think this card looks great.
All the best Jan
Such a fun design!!. Your design work is lovely. I couldn't make it because I was teaching a class.
Lots of interest happening on your card, Connie! A fun fold and beautiful image panel. I've had this technique bookmarked for a while, but haven't tried it yet. It looks to me like you did everything perfectly!
Oh how I would love to find a zoom call to join in on crafting. The girls I use to craft with no longer do them. I am hoping I can get some other friends to join in on a call. This is a great fun fold and a wonderful card.
