Time for another new challenge over on the Butterfly blog and this time it is
A little later than expected due to internet problems. My Wi -Fi keeps disconnecting my pc every few minutes so trying to write a tutorial and load photos for it has been torturous to say the least. Work is being done on the local transmitter mast upgrading it for when 3G gets turned off next year but in the meanwhile it is proving to be a real pain.
I have 3 examples for you to see. As usual a step by step tutorial is available over on the blog. You can find it under the banner heading on the Card shapes page. All the tutorials are listed alphabetically. Just click on each name and it will take you to the tutorial for that shape card.
This shaped card has been around for a few years but in my card/ version 3, I have given it a new twist that I have not seen elsewhere.
Card 1.
Uses from the Butterfly wheel.
Cube card/Checks/Chilli Red/Canary Yellow/Butterfly
Card 2.
Uses from the Butterfly wheel.
Cube card/Checks/Chilli Red/Chartreuse/Cyan/Butterfly
Is big sister to card No 1. A slightly larger version which folds flat to 5.5" square.
Just gives you more surface area to use and adding more images.
Card 3.
Uses from the Butterfly wheel.
Cube card/Checks/Chilli Red/Canary Yellow/Cyan/Chartreuse/Butterfly
Again one of my 'What if I was to try' moments which I'm calling a Cantilever Cube Card and I love how it turned out.
Instead of cutting individual squares for the cubes I wrapped the design paper around the cubes as it just seemed to lend itself to the Floral Border that I used. I have had this 3D Border By Papermania forever just waiting for the right time. Today was the day!! Check paper by Jenny Ellory and the yellow/floral stripe by Sally Moret. It matched the 3D border perfectly.
I have also been away from my desk having jabs done. Shingles and Pneumonia safely out of the way and thank goodness only one offs so no need to be repeated. The Doc and I have our Covid vaccinations on Monday afternoon and need to go into town for them.Luckily we managed to get appointments 10 mins apart. That just leaves the Flu jab to sort out with the surgery which they are doing from the middle of October. I don't think I have any muscle left that has not received a jab in it this year!!
The challenge is running until the 18th October 8pm (GMT) so do hope you will have time to have a go at this card shape.
Stay Safe.

That's an interesting fold - must check it out. Well done for writing the tutorial under such difficulties. Hope you don't get any problems with the rest of your jabs.
Your folded cards look fab, but a bit ingenious for me. Will take a look at the tutorials and perhaps give it a try then.
Good luck with the vaccination (we will have ours soon).
Enjoy your weekend!

What amazing fold cards Valery Anne! So clever.
I tried to book my booster via NHS app... they gave me locations only 6 to 8 miles away. Which is fine except I would have to hire a boat to cross the River Ribble over to Warton! Needless to say I am now waiting to find somewhere near that doesn't involve a cross estuary journey - no flippers and snorkels available!
What a impressive foldMrs A ! These cards look amazing! Beautifully crafted as always and lovely choice of colours and papers.
Had Covid jab on Thursday, felt a bit rough yesterday but fine today so all good!

I'm glad you are keeping up with all the necessary vaccinations. New variants keep coming along and it's hard to keep up with all the new ones. This group of cards is amazing. I love the papers and folds and all the things you added from the challenge. Thanks for powering through with the Wi-Fi so we could see them.
