Favourite Shape or Fold

Hello friends hope you are well today.

It's time for a new challenge at As You Like It Challenge

and we are looking forward to seeing your favourite card shape or fold.

Here's mine...a stepper


I bought this Presscut Stepper die last year and I am so glad I did as I have had so much use from it. Stamping Mad Janice is a huge fan too!! My good friend Kim asked me to make a Birthday card for her Mum and wanted it fairly flat for posting so the stepper fold was just right. Equally it can be made really fancy dancy and elaborate!! It was also another chance to get out my Neat and Tangled "Hand Stitched" stamp set and use my long awaited accompanying Hoop die too. The card base and patterned paper were free with magazines a while back and the image was coloured with Promarkers to suit. The little Best Mum stamp was also free. All it needed was some pearls as finishing touches.

I am going to play at these challenges

Cardz 4 Galz #15 - Fantastic florals
Penny Black and More - Anything Goes + Stamp and dies
Lil patch of crafty friends #27 - Anything Goes
Craft Your Passion #298 - Anything Goes
Crafting From The Heart #98 - Anything Goes

Thank you for stopping by today, it's much appreciated xx

    This has been a very versatile die for you for certain, as you've made so many pretty cards with it. Love this one, with the delicate & cheery patterns of the papers. Really love the embroidery hoop die with the tiny crosstitch motif. Gosh, I've never seen this image before, and it is so pretty, and just exactly right for a sweet Mom's birthday.
