Winners of Fold It

Fold it was a very popular challenge, and so we had lots of lovely entries to look at and everybody got this challenge right, so well done! Some of the projects used folds and techniques I have never seen before, and I certainly learnt a lot!
Thank you all for sharing your lovely creations with us. As you can imagine, with 53 entries that were all really good to choose from, and with 6 of us independently choosing our favourites we really needed the voting system to come up with the top 3, and there were 3 clear winners out of the 16 finalists choosen by the team. (We all choose our top 6 and put them in order and give them points 6 to 1 and then add the points together and the three with the most win).

Fold it was sponsored by The Cutting Cafe who sell great value files of images as well as wonderful cutting files, and who provided the team with some lovely images to show you.

The team have chosen the following top three:

In first place is Wench with this amazing and pretty card which has lots of folds and a take out panel (this was a new one to me too). There are more photos on her blog and I highly recommend that you go and check them out, even the back of this card has a pocket for a tag.

Congratulations Wenche, you have won 3 sets of your choice from The Cutting Cafe.

In second place is Coops with this gorgeous vintage easel card.

Congratulations Coops you have won 2 sets of your choice from The Cutting Cafe.

Our third place winner is Gloria Shirr with the very classy and sassy side step card which is also decorated beautifully inside. Again there are more photos on Gloria's blog showing close ups of the details.

Congratulations Gloria you have won 1 set of your choice from The Cutting Cafe.

All of you please email me via the link in the sidebar and I will arrange for you to collect your prizes and customised winners badges of course. We would love you to join us as Guest Designers in a couple of weeks, or later if you can't do that, so please let me know if you can join us.

Don't forget to come back later to find out what the new challenge is.

Challenge #12 Fold It!

 Hi Quirky peoples! It's Lyn here this week, trying to think of a challenge we haven't had for ages, so how about...  

Fold It! 

Yes, I want to see more than one fold on your creation, in fact the more folds the merrier! So that's easel cards, gate cards, those sliding swinging cards, Z cars, I mean, Z cards, or one of  those W thingamejig cards or even if you're feeling clever how about a carousel card! Pop back to Challenge 11  and see Monica's  fabulous carousel card. Or if you feel you can't manage that, try using double sided paper, and folding down a corner or two! And if you don't want to make a card? Well that's okay, just make sure whatever you make, has...

 More Than One Fold!

Easy!

 This fortnight we are sponsored by....

The  Cutting Cafe!

 

Some of us have been given Pirate things to play with!! Yo ho ho!! (and a bottle of rum!) and some of us have had other things to play with, like...bikes! (there's a link somewhere...oh yes, they are all made by The Cutting Cafe'. This is what we've done with them.... First we have our Guest Designer...

Guest Designer Helen

Helen used Ahoy Matey for her great box card, Helen said she doesn't normally do cute! Didn't she do well!

(I love those skulls in the background!)

Well done Helen! That's fantastic!! And now on to the rest of the Design Team....

Daire

 

I used these adorable bikes rather than the pirates, to create this quirky mandala in my art journal. I used folded paper and dimensional paint to make it (quite literally) stand out from the page. There's only one problem... now I can't close my sketchbook without damaging my petals!

Doris

This time what I did was a Pirate invitation birthday party, using the file AHOY MATEY PRINTABLE SET.... courtesy of The Cutting Cafe'. I trace and cut the hats, enlarge the cross bones, I gave shade and dimension. Additional, I used a sweet sailor on the inside of the card

Monica

 I made a box with a pull out photo strand with multiple folds. I called it My Pirate`s Treasure.

For the front I used the cross bones digi from The Cutting Cafe Collection, Ahoy Matey. 

Inside, you will first find a warning: Beware, another digi from The Cutting Cafe collection. And then you will find My Pirate`s Treasure: my kids Sofi and Jota, wearing pirate´s costumes.

I used an effect on the pictures to give an older look.

Marg

It's a handbag invitation which consists of just 2 folds! On the inside I stuck a green backing paper that has smallish butterflies on it & then added the image from The Cutting Café called "Take a ride" then I added a tree with "rest stop" on the sign to the image. Lots more details and pictures on my blog.

Cazzy

I made a side step card which turned out better than these have before. I used Lets Go for a Ride images and sentiments.

To down view showing the star papers inside. I just need to add a panel to the back to write on now.

 Lyn

I made a box! (No you didn't you fibber!)Yes I did! I just didn't cut it out, it was a RAC gift. I inked all the folds with Vintage brown, then once I'd printed out all the bits and pieces, sentiments, digi's and backing papers I wanted to use, I inked them too. Added Key hole brad and key and other bits. Here's the back...

 

  Now, if you take off  the band/sleeve that keeps it closed, it looks like this inside...

Filled with Golden Toffees!

Then I had another idea and ate the toffees and made a litte book instead...

and filled the book with little tags and more sentiments. There's room for small photo's later!

One of the tags is a fridge magnet. (which doesn't count in the challenge on it's own as it only has one fold, the ribbon loop, but make a loopy ribbon flower, and yay that would count!

Well, that's what we've done! So now it's your turn! Can't wait to see what you all come up with!!
