This was for the Technique Lover's Challenge today to make a card using the 6-fold technique. It was truly a challenge for me! It took me at least 3 hours, and I could have added more "stuff." I think there are a total of 22 pieces of cut or punched paper. The blank space on the inside is where I'll write my personal greeting. Don't even ask me about the problems I had with the "Smiles" panel. LOL!
I really love folded cards and will make this kind again as it has so much potential. Subsequent cards should go together faster. (I wrote all directions and measurements down.)

You get the highest award for sticking with it to complete this card! I'm so proud of you for not giving up! I had to make a template first so I'd know how to do this. Nice job on the challenge, your card is beautiful!

I love the gorgeous colors and dp you used on this! I tend to be very slow on my first attempt at something new like this but subsequent ones are just so much easier

What a great card. Thank you for sharing. I love the colors and way you used the stripe paper. Another great inspirational card to guide my own creation of this technique. Can hardly wait to get going. I need to make some special cards for 4 artistic friends with whom I spent a fantastic stamping weekend with recently. They will LOVE this card technique! Thank you for sharing - your time and creativity has been well worth it, from my perspective. You did a great job! Blessings
