am i the only one who does this?

I was looking at my nieces graduation announcement and suddenly thought "what a cool fold, I'll bet I could make that!" So I unfolded and started measuring. I will have to make some adjustments but that will be fun! Anyone else inspired by cards they've received in the mail?

[gv-copperdog]

Absolutely! Often times it's the layout. I often do it to boxes too. I love making boxes.

[Mrs Noofy]

Constantly! I just can't resist trying to create and adapt something I have received or seen. Creating....it never stops!!!! LOL

Very much -- I slide them in my "inspiration book" and love to try to figure out how to replicate.

[JBgreendawn]

absolutely, not necessarily folds but colors or texture combo's for sure

[stamphappy1650]

Definitely, especially gift boxes. I have a file of "templates" that I copy.

Just finished my first attempt at copying the graduation announcement fold!

Fun card, Kathy! The craziest thing I've replicated is one of my DH's cigarette boxes (it eventually became a tutorial here on Splitcoast, even, lol)!

Card looks great to me Kathy!

Absolutely! And I have bought cards too.

I haven't bought a card since I began making them in 2009 so I never gave it a thought to look through them for ideas! Thanks!
