Fancy folds two days in a row? I'm exhausted! For today's �eoeZ�e challenge, I chose to make a Swinging Z -fold card. It's probably one of the easier folds, but I struggled with it. I'm still not 100% sure that I got it right. For some extra bonus points, I have z's in my sentiment. I'm kind of starting my New Year's resolution early here by trying to actually use images that haven't been used yet. So this bear fit perfectly with my buzzing sentiment. For the backgrounds, I made one with Distress inks and one with Distress paints on the stencil. I feel like this card needed something else and I will probably add to it, but I had to leave for work, so it is what it is right now.

This is really fun! I always have to think hard about the swinging folds too. I've been thinking hard about using up my stash in the coming year (using images that haven't been used and using up embellishments). Good luck!

What a cute bear. I was thinking bees with buzzy sentiments, this is even better. Personally, and I think I've been trying them on and off since Beate posted that tutorial, this is a fold I struggle with, so well done you.

Congratulations to you for doing fancy TWO days in a row! They are definitely not my strong suit, so I'm impressed : ) The bear in bee costume is darling and the honeycomb backgrounds are perfect. Fun creation!

Super adorable image and so glad you inked him up. I know what you mean about starting your resolution early. I have started sorting out a box of die cuts that need to get used up and off my table trying to find ways to get them used. This is so incredibly cute.
Bee cards are some of my favorites and this one is so cute and fun! Thanks for linking up to Cropstop with this, and thanks for all four of your wonderful guest designer projects this month! You did a marvelous job!
