I have two fun cards to share with you today. The first is a Z-Fold card that I created for a club gathering that I had earlier this week. We used the Grace papers and September Stamp of the Month, Treasures.
The second card is a 'Jacob's Ladder' card that I made up as I went. This is a fun way to include a gift card. I took pictures as I created this card, so I can put together another tutorial if you're interested - just let me know! Here is the front of the card - using the Left Eclipse pattern from Wishes and Bella paper pack.
And here is the inside of the card. If you've ever played with a Jacob's Ladder, then you'll understand how the card works. The card can 'open' from the top or the bottom. It just wraps the ribbon differently around the gift card depending on which way it opens. Here it is opening from the top...

Here it is opening from the bottom...
Now it's time to hop along to Antoinette's blog to see what fun creations she has to share today!
If you get lost or find links not working along the way, here is a complete list of today's hoppers:
