After making 15 cards for the Wish RAK Fourth of July Cards for the Troops challenges I just had to try this technique! My card is EXTREMELY simple but like I said, I just wanted to try the fold and thought I might just as well turn it into some kind of a card. At any rate...my card can be found here:
Fun! This is my first challenge here. Hope I did this right! Posted in my gallery with the correct challenge info. But here's the link: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I started this before I left for work this morning and finished it when I got home. Here's my Live the Life card. It was kind of fun. I'll be back after dinner to look through the TLC228 Gallery and make comments.

Wow, Lynn!! That was fun!! Thanks for teaching me a great new technique. Not only is it super easy to make, the results are very impressive. Can't wait to make more (but not tonight--I'm beat. It's off to bed for me . . . ) But before I go, here's my card (a simple one, so I could get to bed sooner):

Lynn, I look forward to your challanges every week. I must say I am severely fold challanged. I have a couple (maybe 5 or 6) projects I started and didn't seem like they worked for me.
Is anyway as fold challenged as me? Or am I just stupid?
the one I did do correctly was the tri-step fold. This worked great and I got it the first time. Well, with a tiny cut on my finger...
I'll be back next week ok?
don't be totally surprised if I do try this because I'm not a giver upper.
It just looks and sounds hard. You would think me being a cpa I would understand folds and numbers and cuts. NOT.

You don't really need a pattern. Just follow the directions listed in post #1 and use the photo of the pattern as a visual guide. I don't believe the picture is meant to be a pattern...kwim?

I LOVE this card template!! I decided to use it "backwards" for this card, but I can see myself using it the other way as well. This template is going to get A LOT of use!!
There is a story behind this card. This afternon, I was unpacking a box from our recent move and came across an unfinished dress I was making for my daughter, now almost seventeen, when she was a baby. It was a beautiful smocked sundress in periwinkle with a straw hat with flowers on it. Unfortunately, I had sewn the whole dress front before I finished the smocking and my daughter outgrew it before I got it finished. I was still quite new to smocking and sewing and understimated how long it would take me to finish the dress and just how fast my baby girl would grow. Someday, God Willing, I will finish this beautiful little dress for my Granddaughter. Anyway, I was thinking about this little dress all evening and feeling kind of sad about it. As I was puttting away my toys for the night, inspiration struck and decided to recreate the straw hat design on a card. I decided to use the stand up card because I wanted the hat to be 3D and it was going to be for me. And this is what I came up with. The dress has the hat in the middle with a floral spray on each side. I added the floral sprays to the corners to fit the stand up card. I am going to love looking at this on my desk. Hopefully it will remind me not to get ahead of myself!

Question: How do you post the link to your cards using the word "here" or the title? I managed to get the link, but just can't figure out how to use a word for the link instead of the code.
