October 17, 2023

Bright and sunny and cool this morning...and no rain!  Looks like the high this week will be high 50's to 60.  Fall weather has arrived.

The trees around here have still not changed.  But there are at least two factors that lead to less dramatic fall colors:  A warm fall and lots of rain.  We have had both of those factors so that is probably why the color is muted.

So, one of the things I want to do for the holidays is make cards.  I haven't made any cards for a long time, but I saw a YouTube video on 3D cards and I decided to try making an prototype. 

First I made a pattern...


Next, I cut it out of blue card stock...

Since this is going to be a winter scene, I added white to the base...

The two flaps on either side are going to be folded in and I want to add three places to attach things.  First I cut them out of white making sure they were long enough to fit between the two folded flaps plus an amount to fold at each end...


I added double sided tape to both ends of all three strips and added them to the flaps...

Finally, I added some snow-covered trees...

I am not sure what else I will add...animals?...houses?...just not sure.  Stay tuned.

Enjoy your day...and take care...

Talk with you tomorrow...
