Yesterday I shared the fun Faux Layer technique with you and today I’ve stepped it up with a fun fold! I love the way this background turned out with just ink and couldn’t resist making more than one.
This card uses the same basic technique, but it has a bit of a surprise when you open the flap in the center. I’ve made this card for my Aunt but will be making some more for the graduates this year too as I think the sentiment will be great for that.
I’ve got a video tutorial for you again showing you not only how to create the faux layers, but also how to cut the card too. Why not check it out?
And of course here is a PDF for you with the supply list, directions, and video link so you can print it out and have everything in one place.

Today’s card uses a fun and simple technique to create a wonderful look of multiple layers that create a scene using the Greatest Journey Dies (160593).
I’ve used simple masking, ink and my Blending Brushes for a backdrop for this card that I plan on using for a graduation card. I think the sentiment is perfect for that!
Want to see how I created it? I’ve got a video and a PDF tutorial for you today.

Today’s card uses one of my favorite fun folds since it makes choosing the colors I want to use soooo easy!
Choose a piece of your favorite Designer Series Paper like I did here with the Enjoy the Journey (160586) and start building your card.
Since this piece used the colors Pumpkin Pie I chose that for the base of the card and then used the packages coordination for the mats. For the image I used the sample in the Mini to inspire me.
When you open the card you’ve got the full Designer Series Paper panel was was peeking out of the card when it was closed and a signature panel.
Want to see how I created this card? I’ve whipped up a quick video tutorial for you.
