An Awesomely Artistic Z Fold Card...

Today's "awesome" project is from our very own "awesome" Crew Stamper, JoAnn Graham.  She created this beautiful Z fold card using the Awesomely Artistic stamp set - say that 3 times fast!

This the card view when it comes out of the envelope.  I love the Honeycomb embossed card stock for the font. 

Here is the card slightly open.  The frame around the word "friend" is heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. A little strip of Calypso Coral card stock brings out the centers of the flowers.  

This is the card open - lots of room to write and I love how the dragon fly image shows even with the card closed, but the words are only seen when it's fully open.  Awesome!

JoAnn stamped this flowers, then color them all by hand and even cut out a few and popped them up AND ADDED GLITTER!!!  I'm only giving this to someone really special!  

Now, you might be wondering how I'm getting all these awesome cards to share on my blog....so I'll tell you.  If you become a Stampin'Up! Demonstrator, you get to participate in our group swaps every other month and take them home!  Yep, along with make and takes and other great ideas.  Our starter kit is just $99 and you get $125 worth of your choice of products - IT'S A DEAL!!!  Plus, there's no further obligation, unless you want to save on your stampin' supplies, then it's up to you.  Really, how can you go wrong?  Mmmmm?  You can't!  See me about joining our Stampin'Up! family at no risk or further obligation from you!
