Fun Fold Birthday

This is a card I made quite some time ago, but don't think I ever posted.  It is a double gate fold card I made for my nephew's birthday.  All the products used in this card are retired now, but it is such a fresh, interactive card, I wanted to share it with you.  Use some of our great new products to create your own.  Hmmm, perhaps I should play with this fold again???  Sorry for the poor lighting in these pictures.

Be You(Tiful) Birthday

I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this card!  The fun design was made using the Envelope Punch Board and Old Olive cardstock.  The DSP is Sweet Taffy and the fabulous, bold flowers are from the Flower Patch Photopolymer stamp set and cut out perfectly with the Flower Fair Framelits.  These two items can be purchased together as a bundle and you save 15%.  This is one of the projects we made in Stamp Club.  If you live near O'Fallon or Union, Missouri, and would like to visit or join one of my clubs, please let me know.  We would love to have you!



Supplies:
Stamp:  Flower Patch
Paper:  Old Olive, Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White cardstock, and Sweet Taffy DSP
Ink:  Daffodil Delight, Hello Honey, Blackberry Bliss, Tangelo Twist, Mossy Meadow
Tools:  Big Shot, Flower Fair Framelits, Envelope Punch Board
