Inkspirational Challenge #300 - Designer's Choice - Card plus Matching Envelope - Z-Fold Halloween Card and Envelope (MCT)

Hello,

Welcome to Inspirational Challenge #300 where, for my Designer's Choice, I invite you to create a *Card plus Matching Envelope*. Let's see your pretty ensembles, especially because envelope *art* is a thing!

 

New to my collection is the *Etched Z-Fold* card die from MCT and oh my stars! So much fun - and a great way to use up bits-and-pieces of patterned papers. I've made a couple of Halloween cards, one of which is featured below, using MCT papers and dies, along with a matchy-matchy envelope. The envelope is also from MCT; part of the "Cute Card" series (similar to mini slimlines).


The Z-Fold card is a challenge to photograph, but here's what the inside looks like. The back of the middle panel is also decorated with some pink gingham paper. 


Looking forward to seeing your Cards + Envelopes in the gallery.

Thank you for dropping by!

Oooh, I like that folded style of your card, Carol. Such a fun idea and your witchy goodness looks faboooolous! Thanks so much for sharing. Eeeek!

What a great card die Carol! So dramatic with the descending deckled edge and I love the non traditional colors used on your 'witching' fun card and coordinating envelope! So fun when the dies do most of the base work and you can focus on the decoration! Julia xx

I loved your choice of challenge theme for this one, Carol. And I love how the team showed so many different ways you can make a matching envelope. I love your card shape, as you say, perfect for using paper scraps and it's really decorative too. MCT, what does that stand for? Curious about their dies.... Great design for both card and envelope.
