Welcome
And a very warm welcome to my newest follower Denise Morgans, known as Dennymor on both IG and Facebook.
I recently saw a video tutorial online by Ardyth, here, and was inspired to try it myself, just at the time that the monthly challenge for my small swap group came out, which was to use three patterned papers, a two word sentiment and one image.
This is the result! (and the recipient loved it!)

I started with some very old patterned papers that were freebies from a magazine, that I had never used, but I chose them as the sheets were big enough for the inside of the project.
Then I found a previously unused stamp set by Unity - A Little Not Fine from their Pissy Kitty series...

The technique looks a bit like a bulky gatefold card when taken out of the envelope, and I held it shut with the piece of twine that formed kitty's bow

Here it is opened out, with the other two papers showing, and the two word sentiment.

I don't blame Kitty looking a bit pissy with a glittery bow draped over her face, a sparkly butterfly in her fur, and fancy brown tipping on her fur also - not how a self respecting cat wants to look!
I am linking this to:
(The patterned papers had never been cut into before, and the stamp was also NBUS)
Thank you so much for visiting

Love this card. Very creative. Especially the image. The kitten looks so sad. Beautiful creation.
Love, Hugs and Blessings
Pissy kitty looks like me when the political news comes on over here, Maxine! She is a hoot and I think you're right about the bow and butterfly, cute though it is! And well done on using your pp and all the cuts and folds! These fold cards befuddle me and make me pissy! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Great to see you! Hugs, Darnell
I love the cat. My ginger persian used to look just like that all the time!. A clever card too. Well done for meeting all the criteria. Kate x
What a delightful card. I love the grumpy cat and the fancy fold. I do wish I could motivate myself to try a few fancy folds, but it never seems to work xx
Wow, how cute and creative! I love how the tie opens and reveals the sentiment. So clever, Maxine. Thanks for sharing your talents with us at Word Art Wednesday. I praise and thank God for you, my friend (I really do).
Awesome Maxine. A very creative way to use your three papers. Love that Pissy Kitty!
Gotta love that Puss, love the shape of your card, and the papers too, so clever. x
So Fun--what a cute card Maxine!
WOW! What a fun fold and cute card! You have impressed me again, Maxine!
I was the recipient - glad it was me - I love it. It has an almost vintage look and is so much nicer IRL. Way to go Maxine. CarolG
hahaha, this is absolutely adorab;e! Self respecting cat :D Maxine, this reminds me of how my niece when a toddler used to add stickers on a stray cat and that look.. hilarious! But my niece was always proud of her styling. Thank you Maxine for your blessings on my blog 🥹 what I am doing now a days is, what your blessings have brought for me and I couldn't be more grateful for your constant love and support.
What a fun card, Maxine!!! I love the shape and the cute cat! Kisses, my friend.
I love her tutorials as well, and you have done a lovely job with this challenge- your DP is so pretty and love that cat image!
Fantastic cat 🐈 😻 card.
I love your design, those images are really beautiful . x
I love the colors you combined! And a fun way to dare yourself! Enjoy the weekend!
Thank you for sharing with us over at lilpatchofcraftyfriends.~ Maria DT
This is so cute. I love the Unity Stamp cats. I got one last year and can't wait to make more Christmas cards with that cat. What a face. [Bunny]
Maxine, this is such an amazing card! I love your little kitty with a bow. But the way that the inside is folded is spectacular. I watched the YouTube video and saved it. When I am brave, I will try it! I think for me fancy fold cards are the most intimidating. But this is such a cool card and I would love to make one to send to someone. Thanks for the inspiration!
Very cute cat card and I love the surprise inside.
Thanks for playing along with us at We Love Stamping.

Oh, that kitty stamp is too good! 😂 "A Little Not Fine" is such a mood. I love how you used the twine as a bow to keep the gatefold closed, such a clever touch. Feels so satisfying to finally cut into those old magazine freebies sitting in the stash, too. Welcome to Denise!
