True Beauty Hinge Fold Card

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today’s Blog Hop has a “Throwback Thursday” theme. We were invited to share a re-creation of one of our own creations- or someone else’s. I decided to recreate this Hinge Fold card that I made in December 2020.

As you can see, I changed up a few things. I chose to have a rectangular hinge piece and use the Awash in Beauty patterned paper as a background for the left hand flap, rather than stamping my own design.

I love that I could use the dies to cut out the flower and the leaves right from the Awash in Beauty patterned paper. I love when Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy for us! I hope you like the new and improved version of my Hinge Fold card.
