So while you are reading this, I will be crafting away with a group of crafters which make up the bigger Pinkies team.  There are 43 of us meeting up in Birmingham for a weekend of crafting fun which of course means swaps.  I am well known for my fancy folds, so of course my swap had to showcase one of those and I am also holding a class for some of them where we will make two fancy fold cards in an hour… a tall order, but I know they can do it…. Well that is if we don’t spend too much time chatting which is always a danger 🙂

So this card uses the same principle as the Ferrero slider favour I showed you a few weeks ago HERE but of course folds flat.  I have used the lovely Love and Affection embossing folder and co-ordinating stamp set.   The group of ladies are a wonderful bunch and I really enjoy spending time with them all, the sentiment seemed really appropriate to both thank them for the swap that I will receive in exchange and also indicate how they make me feel.  I love navy and white together, and it is very on trend at the moment.
