Inktober Fest 2018 - Dangle (10/27-11/4) WINNER ANNOUNCED
« on: October 26, 2018, 11:02:21 AM »
My challenge is to make a dangle card.  I heard about this EASY fun fold from a lady who came to my craft group once.  I don’t see very many of them on the internet at all!  Maybe you have heard of it, though.

The fold is on the inside of the card.  Cut a piece of cardstock to 1 inch by 11 inches.  Score at 2 3/4, 5 1/2 and 8 1/4.  You apply glue to just the first and last 2 3/4 sections and apply it to the top outsides of your card.

You attach some little stamped images or maybe something else on thread (I used baker’s twine) attached to the dangle fold.  I used a piece of cardstock to cover the baker’s twine on the backside of the dangle fold just to make sure those pieces of twine stayed put, but that is optional.

Here is a website with a video on how to put the card together.

You may decorate the outside and inside however you please, but make sure there is stamping on it, not just a sentiment. 

My sample card is in the gallery:

It was fun!  Of course when stamping something you love it is.
I used a balloon card base.  I have a half dozen balloon card fronts made up.  So I used one of those.
I stamped my clouds stamp on inside papers and the strip on top.  Stamped, embossed, colored, and cut out several balloons.  I used smaller ones and ones that were even so I could put back to back.
Used blue cardstock so I didn’t have to ink background, also used blue thread to match background. Made too many balloons so glued to top piece.
Came out so cute,I am keeping it!

Awesome card idea, Sheila!  I love the balloons!  I have to say, I made my dangle card in August and still haven’t given it away either!  Thanks for playing!

I am thinking of using this idea with reg balloons and making a birthday card for one of my many grandkids!

While it isn't the first time it's happened, I'm frustrated trying to upload my dangler to the gallery. It simply refuses to connect the file.

At least I was able to upload it to my FB page.

Not going to sweat it at this point. I'm sure I can figure a way to connect somehow. For now I'll just keep working on challenges.

[Yay! I managed to get it uploaded--I'm not going to tempt fate by trying to link it to the thread. I shared 3 pix]

This was fun, I realized real quick I don't have many stamps small enough with dies, Unless I want flying flowers

Connie, your card is absolutely wonderful!   I love the little butterflies.

I didn’t actually have dies for my little bugs.  It was a little bit hard to line them up and cut them, but it worked out good enough.  Dies would be easier.
