Cards and Cocktails | F
This weeks course is focusing on cards and cocktails that start with the letter F - If this is your first time here, welcome! I am offering a 26 week course (via my Facebook page) where I work my way through the Alphabet making cards that start with that weeks letter. This week is Four Panel Card (sometimes called the quarter fold - I won't double-dip PROMISE). This weeks drink; how about a Fuzzy Navel - I have never had one, but they sound delicious.
I have been picking rather simple card folds, because if you are like me, time is valuable and I need cards that are quick, stunning, and easy. As a mom to 4 kiddos, who homeschools, is heavily involved with scouts, and works part-time from home, life can be crazy! Just because a card is easy to make, doesn't mean it cannot be stunning.
You can catch this weeks course replay below. Measurements and supplies for this particular card are noted at the end of this post.

I loved the layered flowers used on this card! It is on the bulky side so, if you do decided to go this route make sure you are prepared to pay for extra postage when mailing.
I simply love how the leaf hangs off the edge on the front panel.
This weeks Drink is a Fuzzy Navel - I have never had one, and thought this would be a fun drink to try on date night. I saw that it can be made with Peach Schnapps and orange juice, and some people even us lemonade and a splash of vodka. Sounds like a fun treat!
