Today I’m sharing with you this fun fold tri fold card featuring the Birthday Blossoms stamp set and the Pansy Punch. This card is much easier to make than it mioght appear. The trick is you have to use 12″ x 12″ cardstock. I stamped the flowers in Island Indigo ink and then used the Aqua Painter to “color” the flowers in just by picking up the already stamped in k on the flowers. Below you can see the inside of the card.
Measurements: Soft Sky cardstock: 12″ x 5″ scored at 4″and 8″. To get the diagonal cut I put it in the Stampin’ Trimmer diagonally with one end at 5″ and the other end at 2-1/4″. Whisper White cardstock: 3 pieces 3-3/4″ wide by various heights to fit each panel for the layers and scraps for the flowers.
By now, I’m sure you’ve heard how extremely popular the Eastern Palace Suite Bundles are. They are flying off the shelves at near record speed.
