Holly here, I am so excited to share my new project for the new Love To Scrap challenge: LTSCB #180 Anything Goes. Love To Scrap is a scrapping challenge blog that is for all types of scrapped projects - cards, scrapbook layouts, ATCs, mixed media, art/junk journals, etc! We can't wait to see what you create, so let's get crafty!

I love making fun fold cards and saw a video to make a Collapsible Column Card! It looked like a fun card to make and it is just like it sounds! The column in the middle pops up and out but collapses so the card can be put in a standard envelope! So much fun! I also love fruit cards so of course this had to be a fruit themed card! I used Lawn Fawn's fruit salad paper (on of my favorites) and Stampin's Ups! 

Here is the Card:

I used:

• Stampin' Up! Berry Blessings Stamp and Die Set
• Lawn Fawn Fruit Salad 6x6 paper pack
• Simon Says Stamp black ink Stamp pad
• Stampin' Up! Misty Moonlight Ink Stamp Pad
• Stitched banner dies
• Various colored Markers, cardstock and embellishments from personal crafting stash 

Here are some more photos to show some close-up details of this card:

......and that's it! 

Happy crafting to you all! We hope you feel inspired to create something and try something new!

I love to color, I always have! Coloring is therapeutic for me and coloring stamped images is like the adult versions of coloring books but you get to pick what images you want to color then put them on a project... and I love it! Roses always have such rich and vibrant colors and I really wanted to try to capture that vibrancy! I found and cut some patterned paper from our scrap papers collection using one of the sketches from Kendra's Card Challenges #22 as my guide for the layout! placed the colored rose image on some foam square to pop it up and stamped the sentiment. I loved how this card turned out!  

Here is the card:

Some specific products I used:

• Newton's Nook Roses Stamp and Die Set
• Simon Says Stamp Nocturne Black VersaFine Clair Ink Pad
• Various colored cardstock, designer paper (scraps from stash), and embellishments, from personal crafting stash
• Various colored pencils and fine-line marks from personal crafting stash

Here are some more photos to show some close-up details of the card:
