But I went for it! I thought -- what the heck! Even the crappy-est looking card gets an entry -- it is random draw prize, btw. :p So I gave it a shot. In fact, I tried TWO different techniques!!!!!!! And the totally amazing part is....
... they don't look bad!!!!!!!!! In fact, I actually LIKE them!!!!
Guess you want to see my creations already, eh???
Tah-dah!!!!!!!

The first one is a Criss Cross Card (Pocket Card): See a Tutorial
Basically it's a pocket with the note slipped in on the top. And a fancy band attached to the bottom.
Definitely a different kind of card for me! :)

Because the first card turned out so nice...I decided to attempt another technique.
This one is called "Triangle Trifold Card". See the tutorial
When it's opened it looks like this:
So that's basically it! I had a blast -- went out of my comfort zone...and now have two more amazing cards to add to my pile! :) TFL
...and lest anyone forgets -- I LOVE COMMENTS!!! :D
Divinity, these are great! For not having done this before, I think you did a wonderful job. I understand, I am a fold-in-half to make a card kind of girl too. I love the Triangle Trifold, I will definitely have to try it. Thanks for playing along and good luck!
