Lisa is hostessing today's Ways To Use It challenge and it's a great one. Unfortunately, I have the occasion to make a sympathy card. Like most everyone else, I find it so difficult to make these when you need them.
My fancy fold is inside my card. I used the explosion fold card design to get a larger space for my co-workers to sign. The card is for one of our dear teachers at work who is just lost her mother.
Thanks for looking!

A sad need but a lovely card, Toni. I was discussing this fold with a friend a few months ago and have been meaning to try it. What a great way of adding extra space for a group card, though I'm sorry it's for a sad occasion rather than a celebration.

I love this stamp, it was already retired by the time I got back to stamping but every time I see it I just love it. This fold is new to me, I have seen it but never tired it. It looks so fun. What a great sympathy card you created with this fold. Such soft images and a wonderful sentiment too. Thanks for joining in the Fancy Folds challenge and helping me with a sample.

I would never have thought to use the explosion fold in a sympathy card but it really works! and will be an explosion of love & caring from all your co-workers.

So sorry that your co-worker has lost her mother. You had a great idea of how to increase the size of the card for everyone to sign. I had never thought of using this fold for that. Your flowers and grasses look really nice on the front and inside!
