Fussy Cutting Campology lantern fun fold
Fussy Cutting Campology lantern For today’s inspiration we have a Fussy Cutting Campology lantern. This is also an easy fun fold card.

Pale Papaya Two Ways Today has Pale Papaya Two Ways adding in a little Just Jade. Do not forget at the bottom is the YouTube video how I made the bottom left. That one has more layers to it.

Each has layers and each has the same basic idea. I do like the lighter color or the top one. For this card I used the Blending Brushes and a piece of Basic White. The “masked”…
