I'm baaaack!

It has been much too long since I have been here......
Lots has happened over the last 18 months (gasp!...has it really been that long?!), but I'm back in the swing of things and will be posting at least once a week. Earlier this month I had a workshop that focused on fancy-fold cards. I debated about rescheduling because of the disaster our area suffered, but decided we needed to have a little fun and relaxation, especially after being without power for nearly a week!
Here is the first card from my May workshop. It is a variation of the gate-fold card. Instead of having the card in "Portrait" mode with the gate opening at the center, I turned my card and used the "Landscape" orientation. I then moved the gate opening to the left side of the card which is hidden by the ribbon. To open, you simply slide the ribbon over to the left. All supplies are from Stampin' Up!...Style Beautiful stamp set. So Saffron, Rose Red, Very Vanilla, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede cardstock. So Saffron, Early Espresso, Versamark inks. Clear embossing powder, Early Espresso 1-1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon, trinket keys, linen thread and two-step bird punch.

Here's the inside:

I'll have the other two cards posted tomorrow. Y'all stay safe!!
