Happy Friday!!! It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog. This week, the challenge is: Something with Wings
Here is my card for your inspiration:
I have made several of these never ending cards using this tutorial. They look really complicated but really the hardest part is deciding how to decorate them--you have to do 4 cards in place of one! This card is for my nephew who, you guessed it, just turned 9. I wanted to use some bright, happy colors, to match his level of energy! I used my favorite dragon stamp set and decided to stamp them on patterned paper instead of coloring them. But after having to fussy cut out around all those little spikes and claws, I don't think I actually saved any time. But I think they turned out super cute and fun!
I got to use up a lot of fun patterned scraps on this one. For a little more fun, I die cut some bright yellow stars to use as embellishments.
On the last side, I left a blank square so I could write a message.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.

What a cute, little dragon! The never-ending cards are always so much fun!
This is a wonderful fun fold card, Heather. I have made one before and it was daunting but so worth it! I know your little guy loved all of the fun panels and playing with it. It's a gift AND a card! Thank you for participating in the Creative Creases Challenge! We hope you can join us again soon. Your support is greatly appreciated!

What a perfect fold for a young birthday ... so very glad you joined us at Shopping Our Stash.
Heather, this is such a fun and truly amazing card! Fancy folds are something that I rarely ever make because they seem so intimidating, but this is so fun. I want to give it a try. I’m grateful that you shared the link and I have pinned that for later. Your nephew will love getting this card for sure! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We appreciate your participation!
