Di-Fold Card with no measurements

6. You can make 2 cards out of an A4 piece of cardstock if you wish.

I really should have done this the other way around instead of going from 6 to 1 I should have done 1 on top down to 6. So scroll down and start at the bottom of this post.
5. Here you have the card made without any measurements.
4. Fold the top down to meet the same along the bottom as the other folds.
3. Make another fold the same distance as the previous one but going the opposite way.
2. This fold can be any size you wish. It is a perfect rectangle so when you fold the edges line up.

1. Start with an A4 piece of cardstock.
In case you don't like free handing these here is the link to the one I have made to measurement

Look what Libby dropped into me today! I was feeling so sick from these Ulcers and she cheered me up no end. Libby delivered the HSN folders that she got Sharon in USA to get.

I bugged the folder onto black cardstock and then mounted it on Silver metallic card. Both these cards are SALT products.

Then made the card according to the dimensions of the matted image.

I teamed it up with Martha Stewart Border punches and Kaisercraft pearls.

The whole image has been inked with Silver Versa Color Inks in a cube.

I couldn't sleep last night and at 3am got up and made this Angel.

I bugged a 12cm square with Holly Ribbons Embossing folder and then using an origami technique made the shape of the angel that is the same as the previous Christmas Tree shape.

The sentiment is a Sizzix Embossing Plate called Phrases Christmas. Both have been inked with Brown Versa Colour Ink.

The legs have been knotted for knees and glued under the skirt. The hair has been stuck on using tape. The ribbon is the halo.

Washing

It was wet on Sunday but I had to do some washing. Look who helped me!!! I have these lines you put over the doors and I put the washing on them. Cooper said "I help you" This is his idea of helping me. Pegging the bottoms of the clothes. When i went to iron tonight I found pegs attached to the bottoms of Brian's business shirts. I let out a laugh. These shirts were on the clothes horse outside and Cooper must have put the pegs on when i didn't know. Kids!!!

Coops the cook

Look who helped me make the chocolate cakes. Cooper had a ball helping me make these cakes. I think he ate more than he should have. It doesn't happen very often.

Jessica made cakes with me also at the same age. She licked the knife with no accidents.

I love my grandchildren.
