Double D has a PP challenge and Just Add Ink a fancy fold and I was able to combine the two with this card. It started out as something entirely different, but my head simply couldn’t work out the cuts even after watching the tutorial 3 times and cutting more and more strips that didn’t work. Tutorial is one of MayMay Made It’s and can be found HERE. I did start trying the star but became so frustrated with myself that I found a work around that I could live with and not waste anymore paper. I wove everything and glued it all using the PP then I die cut it with a hexagon die from Crafters Companion. Cut a larger one in black and attached them together before adding them to the book fold card front. I had the idea of using more of the strips and combined them so I could use the smallest of the dies and they were also added to the front. Using up more of the scraps and taking the idea from the tutorial also added smaller pieces along the spine of my book fold. My sentiment is fussy cut and is white heat embossed and is from a Hampton Arts set. My hubby really likes the card. My mind says its okay but I suspect I am still comparing my initial idea with what I’ve now done. I may give this idea another try when my brain has forgotten the frustration. In the meantime it is being posted to the challenges.
Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you all.

Love the colors and your abstract patterned hexagon shape. I watched the video and was more than a little confused by it but your card turned out great.

Thanks. It is reassuring to know you found it confusing. I’m still figuring out what I did wrong. May ask a friend who quilts and who was a teacher as she probably would get it.

Great take on Maymay’s card idea! I like the way you took her idea and made it your own in a way that worked for you. And your finished card is beautiful!

Thanks. I’m still wondering why I found it so challenging, but at least I didn’t waste the poorly made effort.

I really like your hexagon from paper strips. It can get so frustrating when things don’t go as we planned but this turned out really well!

Thanks. When something doesn’t work I go away from it and sometimes another idea forms. That is what happened here.

You may not have ended up where you planned, but it turned out beautiful! I’m not good with fancy folds and would despair of wasting a lot of pretty paper. I’m glad you joined us at Double D where we’re loving that pretty purple paper for this challenge!
