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.
