Thing 1: Troublemaker has been busy cooking up a challenge in the Double Trouble kitchen with Challenge #198. This biweekly challenge will run through Sunday, August 31, 2025. That's a full two weeks to make this recipe!

Thing 3: Twisted Sister
It's August in Arizona, and Twisted Sister is trying to cope. She said she was thinking she could use a fan to stay cool. Her optional twist for you is to create a Fun-Fan-Fold card. The DTC 198 Blog has guidelines to assist you in creating this Fun-Fan-Fold card.
My Fan-Fold card is on display at the top of this blog post. Feel free to leave a comment below.
Thing 2: For some added fun, Double Dare dares you to create a card for Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #677. The sketch is below. TSOT is a biweekly sketch that will go live on Tuesday, August 19, and will end on Sunday, August 31, 2025. For this challenge, you may also enter your card at Creative Creases #106, an "anything goes" challenge using a fun-fold.
The TSOT #677 sketch was used for the Double Trouble Challenge.
To finish my card, the inside of the card was lined with a panel of coordinating patterned paper, followed by a panel of white paper. A few tiny die-cut dragonflies from my stash were added to the inside.
Because this was the first time making this fun-fold, I followed the instructions provided by Deb Joy Smeak at Delight of My Art on YouTube. I reviewed several other YouTube videos, but I preferred hers.
The Double Trouble Design Team invites you to join the challenge using the ingredients and to view their cards at the DTC 198 Blog. Thank you for stopping by!
