Fold It Friday: Cottage Wreath Birthday Card

Friday’s are for fun folds now.  Each Friday, I will post a Fun Fold card to end the week.  I must admit that I don’t make many of this type of card but with committing to posting one each week, I hope to step up my fun fold game.  This week I’m starting off with a simple yet pretty birthday card featuring the Cottage Wreath bundle.

The “fun” in the fold is the way it opens…

Here’s the details…

Measure & Cut

• Basic White Thick card base:  8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
• Petal Pink card stock: 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ (cut 2)
• Country Gingham DSP:  5 1/4″ x 4″
• White Embossed closure strip:  4 1/2″ x 1 1/2″, score at 1 1/2″
• Basic White card stock:  5″ x 3 3/4″ (inside)

Details

• Glue the Petal Pink and Country Gingham DSP to the card base.
• Emboss the closure strip with the crosshatch embossing folder from the Basic 3D Embossing Folders.
• Score this strip at 1 1/2″ and glue this strip to the inside of the card as shown above.
• Glue the inside Petal Pink panel to the inside of the card, covering the strip.
• Stamp the inside sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set on the white panel.
• Add a strip of DSP, Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam card stock to the bottom of the sentiment panel.

• Cut and layer three wreaths from the Cottage Wreath dies:  I used Pear Pizzazz (retired), Old Olive and Soft Sea Foam card stock.
• Add Loose Daisy Embellishments to the wreath.
• Stamp the birthday sentiment and cut with a circle die or punch
• Glue the sentiment circle to the back of the wreath.
• Glue wreath to the closure strip.
• Lastly, add a few pearls to the top right of the card.

Even though this is a simple fun fold, I think any recipient would appreciate the creativity.

Thanks for hanging out with me for my first “theme” week.  I’m looking forward to sharing more next week.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Rosanne
