The gorgeous floral patterns of the Stampin’ Up! Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper dress up today’s simple fancy fold card. The color palette is muted and chic!
WHAT I LOVE! A hint of sparkle and a hint of rustic. This fancy fold card gets the right balance of coordinated “personality” from three Moody Mauve sparkle gems (2023-2025 In Color Opaque Sparkle Dots) and Pebbled Path Jute (divided into strands – see details and video below).

PROJECT TUTORIAL:
Burnish the fold of the Pebbled Path fun fold card base with a Bone Folder.
Use a Mini MISTI to stamp the sentiments (Country Birdhouse stamp set) in Pebbled Path onto the coordinating Basic White layers. Watch my 1 Minute to WOW video: The Magic of the Mini MISTI for a quick demonstration here.
Adhere all the Basic White layers to the coordinating Pebbled Path panels with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Adhere the Designer Series Paper layers to the coordinating Basic White layers as shown with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Adhere the top panel to the left panel as shown with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. TIP: Be sure to only add glue where the two panels meet and not over the opening).
Use your fingers to divide the Pebbled Path 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim into three separate strands. Watch my Stampin’ Pretty 1 Minute to WOW Video for tips on separating jute here.
Wrap two of the three strands (save the third for a future project) around all layers as shown, securing with a bow.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) to crop the “happy birthday” sentiment with the coordinating Country Birdhouse die.
Adhere as shown with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish with 3 Moody Mauve 2023 – 2025 In Color Opaque Sparkle Dots.
PERFECT POLISH! Adhere the 5 3/4 x 2 1/2 Designer Series Paper to the Basic White Medium envelope flap with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Add glue to the flap first, not the Designer Series Paper.
