Here's my card for
MFP Speedy Fox & Friends challenge #149 which is to make a joy-fold card. I'm also entering this into the
OWH Stars and Stamps Tuesday tutorial to use Spirelli. I haven't done spirelli in ages, so I played along and used it for the focal point of my card. I used some cream colored crochet thread, adding a gold candi dot to the center of a punched scallop. I made some faux hinges for the smaller portion of the card, using a word window punch and a couple more candi dots. I added the sentiment to the little panel on the left which also acts as a closure for the card. It's adhered on 3 sides, while the top right corner is left open, so the lower left of the small card front slides in there to hold it closed.
Here's the inside of the card where I've added another sentiment from the MFP thankful mums and pumpkins stamp set, along with some die cut flower bursts done with a Sizzlit. All dsp is retired SU! and the card stock is vanilla along with some pumpkin and olive.
I was the lucky winner of a great stamp set last week for playing along, so get your supplies and play along and you might be the winner this week!
Thanks for the visit, and have a great day!

Wowzer, you got those 2 challenges nailed! Love the technique on the front.
Lovely card. Super use of papers. x
The Spirelli is so fun and yours looks wonderful. Great card, Carol.
A spire lulu is new to me. Nice job!
Love that stamping with those papers! I need to try the spirelli...tfs!!!
Fantastic techniqye! I'll have to give it a try. Beautiful colors Thanks for joining us at Speedy Fox & Friends!
This card is so pretty and nicely made...Makes me want to get out my spirelli punch again...thanks for the inspiration.
WOW! Carol, this is awesome! I've never even thought to do that technique although I've heard of it. I'd probably have thread strung every which way!
Fantastic card and love those gorgeous flowers.

Love this card, Carol. I wash hoping to be able to find time to try that Spirelli technique this week. I've never even heard of it before. Yours came out so nice. The cream against the green really makes a statement. I love that paper and I think I have about a 2" square of it left in my scraps box. I didn't like it so much when it first came out, but then I paired it up with something else and fell in love with it. Great idea for the faux hinges. I love how your mind works. Are you getting the storm that we are suppose to get? I hope not and I hope they are wrong about it for us also. They say it will be long and many power outages. There goes Jack again. I'm glad I have pictures of him to keep my company. Enjoy the evening.

I have never done Spirelli either but this is gorgeous, Carol! Looks wonderful with those pretty papers and the pop of gold! I also love your different fold on this! Very eye catching! :)
Love your spirelli. I haven't done that in ages! And using the "hinges" for the small panel was a great idea. Thanks for playing along with Speedy Fox and Friends this week.
This looks wonderful! I've never tried that technique, but now I'm tempted! I love what you did on the inside of the card, as well. So lovely!
Oh that is great and the spirelli accent goes so great with the other images on your card!! Great job!
