How to Make a Fabulous and Frilly Fun Fold Birthday Card

Create this fun fold birthday card using the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper and Beautiful Balloons Bundle by Stampin' Up! Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty (1)

Today I’ll share step by step how to make this fabulous and frilly fun fold birthday card.  Three colorful and coordinating patterns of Stampin’ Up! Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper are the foundation of the card and envelope.

WHAT I LOVE!  No doubt, the star of the show is the frilly fringe that kicks up its heels and says it’s party time!  It’s created in a snap using the “fringe” die from the  Bright & Beautiful Dies collection.
