FUN FOLDS - 2 Amazing designs with Wild Flower Birthday Specialty DSP

Showcasing Wildflower Birthdy Specialty Designer Series Paper



I "cased" (copy and share everything) this wonderful pop-up card design from Verna Mullen at Stampinnotes.com.

Her deligtful card inspired me to use the Wildflower Birthday Specialty DSP from Stampin' Up! to make this birthday card.




If you love the design, like I did, you can see her tutorial on Instagram. She is amazing.



I used the Linked Together Stamp set to stamp the greetings and Basic White cardstock for the card base. The rest of the card comes from the amazing Specialty paper. 

The colors are so light and cheerful - who wouldn't want to get this delightful card.

And another idea....


I also used this paper pack to create a fun, fun card using flip flaps. And of course, it's another fun fold. This idea was shared by another amazing demonstrator, Patty Bennett of Patty Stamps. 

The card base uses the Brushed Gold Cards & Envelopes,





Again, you can see that the paper is the star of the show here!

As you can see, Stampin' Up! products inspire the most creative ideas. All this fun with just paper, ribbon and some Filp Flaps.

Products I used can be seen at the bottom of this post.

Get Ready for St. Patrick's Day

 This celebration is full of fun Irish Stap Dancing, 

Bagpipes, Parades and need I say, a bit of Guinnes (if you're so inclined).

How about sending a cute card to your friends to tell them "Good Luck"!


First, many thanks to Connie Babbert for the design. She is so Clever.

I love all the differend shades of green for this card and just a smattering of orange & yellow. Perfect!

If you have a heart shaped punch or die, you can create the shamrock. I punched my shamrock with the Bee Builder punch. I used the, now retired, Fruit Salad DSP. 

You don't have the have a stamp set that says "Good Luck". Type it on a piece of white cardstock in green ink and cut it out with scissors.

I used Shaded Spruce for the card base
Next a rectangle of the wonderful Full of Life DSP to add lots of interest. 
The diamond shape is from the wonderful NEW Linked Together Dies.
A strip of Lost Lagoon paper across the bottom grounds everything and linkes it all together.
The bow is the Irridescent Striped Ribbon split down the middle and colored with a green marker.
Regal Foiled Gems top it off!

Card Base: 8 1/2" x 11 folded in half
Background DSP - 3 x 4
Diamond shape - 3 1/4 x 4 1/4
