I’m always so thankful for the inspiration we find in our crafting community and today’s card is a perfect example of that!

This week in my Premiere Video, I shared a masculine fun fold card that was inspired by a beautiful design I received from my friend and fellow paper crafter, Karen Greenlee. I loved her layout so much, I just had to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) it!

Using the Textured Notes Bundle and Woven Textures Designer Series Paper, I gave this fold a natural feel that’s perfect for the guys in our lives for a birthday, thank-you, or  note of appreciation.

You can watch the full process in my Premiere Video below where I also show you the sweet sympathy card Karen sent that inspired me to create this card.

I love how this fold creates a special reveal. The Textured Notes images are elegant and perfect for adding interest. And that Woven Textures DSP brings the design together with a subtle, masculine style.
