So we have a brand new wheel to spin and this yr we are going to go straight through the letters of the Alphabet starting with A.
Come on in.
Lets Spin the Butterfly Wheel.
Each challenge will be a letter of the Alphabet with a choice of 3 Colours and 2 Themes all beginning with the chosen letter.
New for this Yr. The 7th element of the wheel is a card shape.
(The diserning amongst you will notice that there is now an added page along the top under the Butterfly Banner called Card shapes.)
There will be a card shape for the letter being used for each challenge and I will be showing a tutorial on this page with hints and tips for making the cards.
The card shape is not mandatory but if you do use it you will qualify for the top prize without having to combine all of the other 6 elements onto your card. You must of course use your butterfly. The shapes will all be easy ones, just a different way to either fold or cut your basic cardbase.
If you don't want to use the card shape then
You can either choose a Theme or a Colour from the wheel + Butterfly to be entered for the 1st Prize.
If you use a Butterfly + a Theme + a Colour from the wheel then
you will be entered into the 2nd Prize.
Please state in your post which part of the wheel you are using to play with.
So lets get started.
The wheel is
B
and
Bi fold Card.
Your 6 elements are Banana/Bluebell/Burgundy/Buttons/Bows + your Butterfly.
Here is my inspiration for you.
My first card uses Bi fold/Burgundy/Butterfly
Check out the Card shapes Tab above to see how to make.
My second card uses Bluebell/Bow/Butterfly
My Third card uses Bi fold/Banana/Buttons Butterfly
Check out the Card shapes Tab above to see how to make.

I think I must be missing something somehow as I can't find the extra page about the various card shapes
I can't see the card shape page either, it seems to have disappeared.
Great cards for inspiration. I love this fold, a new one for me to try. xx
NOTICE TO ALL. Sorry ! I'm having internet problems and having to work from my iPad which is refusing to let me re upload the Card Shape page . Normal services will be resumed as son as possible. Hugs Mrs A.
This is a new fold for me, I will wait for your instruction.
I hope your internet problems will be resolved.
Thank you so much fo rall your inspiration with your amazing card and for your happy mail today, really, such a beautiful prize, thank you!
Hugs xx
Three beautiful inspirational cards, very different but all impressive!
Wonderful cards and I also went looking for the card folds tab. Needless to say I adore the pink card :) Will check back as the tab is a great idea - also it will be really good if you have the shapes in one place for reference.
Hugs

It's so frustrating when the internet plays up. Hope you get it sorted soon. xx
We had them last week so sympathise, the joys of modern technology. So sorry I've not taken part for so long, still struggling to keep abreast of must do craft but promise when I get back onto an even keel I will be along again. But appreciate you continuing to keep things going and the entries rolling in.

Fabulous cards Mrs A just love them all xx
Beautiful cards, Mrs. A!! That bi-fold card style is really pretty. I just received my Graphic 45 Flutter collection in the mail (using a GC my son had given me at Christmas...what a great guy!!). The double-sided papers, which include banana and bluebell colors, look ideal for attempting this fancy fold. Here's hoping your internet gets sorted out soon!! What a headache for you. :(
Thank you for another fun Butterfly Wheel!!

Such pretty cards Mrs A! Glad you got your internet sorted, technology can be such a pain at time. A real change in the weather now. I saw a butterfly last week in the hot sunshine....but none now sadly xx
Wowzers, Mrs. A! Your cards are absolutely gorgeous! I've never attempted a Bi-fold before but I love the look! I'll be checking out how you did this!!! Your new format looks wonderful and I am hoping to get back on track with your challenge this month! February was basically a write-off for me insofar as crafting goes. Trying to start March fresh!
I did it!!! Just linked up my very first bi-fold card! I struggle with any type of fancy fold but it was fun to try it! Thanks for inspiring!
Love the different bifolds - must try numbers 1 and 3 too!
I like your bifold cards so mch and I hope, my bifold shape is ok! I also used: burgundy and bluebell colours (alcohol inks) in my 4 punched butterflies and attached bows into the holes in the folds. If I should win the 2nd prize, you can give it to someone else, because I have got these embossingfolders in my stash!
Have a nice day!

Hi Mrs A,
just scraped in with this today.
I made it a few days ago and thought I had another week till I double checked today.
I love this wonderful shape and theme and your cards are excellent inspiration and designs.
Thank you so much for all your hard work involved with this wonderful challenge.
Hope Internet probs are sorted now.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Failed again. My card is half made on my desk. I'll be quick off the starting block this week and see what I can do! I love that button closure. x
