Stampin! with Jaydee

Happy Thursday.

I have a fun card for you today using the brand new Open Book stencil and dies from Waffle Flower.  I made an adult version using this set and it's very different to this kids version.  You can see the adult card here. 

The challenge across at Send A Smile 4 Kids is looking for a fun fold, and the challenge at Just Us Girls is to use stencils.  So, I combined both of those challenges for this card. 

Here's a sneak peek:

Oh, I had such fun creating this card.   I used the Waffle Flower Open Book stencil with the Dragon and Castle Stencils.  I began by stenciling the front part of the book and added the sentiment from the Open Books sentiment.  I then created a "back" to the book by stenciling the outer part of the book and then adding different content to the pages for the inside. 

For the fancy fold, I essentially made a z fold and stencilled the inside of the card base using some stencils that we got as part of our Pinkfresh Studio Create and Connect a week ago.  The great Jennifer McGuire used this stencil and layout in one of her classes.  So, I piggybacked on that as I thought it would be fun for this kids' card.

I folded back the front part of the card and adhered the front pages of the book to the left hand fold.  I then took the second set of pages for the book and adhered those to the back of the book on the inside left.

Here's the front of the card:

And then here's the other side of the book - essentially the inside of the card:

What little girl doesn't want a lilac dress, a veil and a sentiment that reminds them of how strong they are!

I just know that this set is going to get a lot of us and hope that Waffle Flower bring out more items to fit this format soon:-)

I'll be back tomorrow with my Festive Friday card.  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.

Hugs
