This week's challenge is to create something with a basic white theme, Asian if you have it! Provo Craft has released new Asian Cuttlebug embossing folders seen here. I don't own any yet. I used the Floral Screen embossing folder, some Asian papers from Michaels, a Judikins stamp "love" symbol, and 3 flowers and brads from my stash. This card is called a tri-shutter card. There is a tutorial on splitcoast stampers. It is so easy to make! Really.

Here is a brief tutorial on my card:
1. Cut white card stock @ 5 1/2" x 12".
2. Along the 12" side, score at 2", 4", 8" & 10".
3. Rotate card stock. Along the 5 1/2" side, measure in 1 1/2" from each end (1 1/2" & 3 1/2"). Cut with an Xacto knife from the 2" score line to the 10" score line.
4. Mountain & valley fold score lines (see top picture).
5. Cut & emboss white card stock:

• 4 @ 1 1/4" x 1 3/4"
• 1 @ 2 1/4" x 3 3/4"
• 2 @ 2 1/4" x 1 3/4"

6. Cut Asian papers:

• 2 @ 1 1/4" x 3 3/4"
• 2 @ 1 3/4" x 5 1/4"

Give it a try! I promise you will be finished in 30 minutes or less.
I hope you have time to play along. Link your card at Cuttlebug Challenge blog by 5pm EST on Tuesday, January 12, 2010.
