Florals in Bloom fun fold Double Triangle Card

I saw this card design on many a card making website so I don't recall which I accessed for the measurements of this card. I love it but had a dickens of a time getting everything "even". I'm in love with the look but...I may never make another one again! But I suspect it's one of those that are easy once you make a second and third one...I am just not there! (yet?? LOL)

I should have used a different pattern from the DSP pack, but I was drawn the vibrancy of this pattern on a red card base, so that was what I chose to create with.

Since I hate when you write inside a card and it shows when the card is closed, I added a decorative panel as well as a white cardstock angled panel so that you could write a personal message inside and yet know what the boundaries of your writing should stay within. Here's what the inside looked like:

And since I don't know who I will send this card to, it remains without sentiment for the time being. But it is a pretty card, isn't it?

Florals In Bloom HUGS cards

The Florals in Bloom DSP pack has some fun and cheery floral prints, with some intriguing reverse prints:

My first cards using this DSP pack was using two of the prints and I love how the tone was set based on the colors of each print:

Here is a close up of the red card...it grabs your attention and the focals just pull you in! Lots of energy in the colors of this card!

And here is the "blue" card...softer, more thoughtful...calmer. 

The insides of the cards were done like this:

These made for some simple but sweet cards!

3 Cheers & Sips cards - fun fold birthday cards: double gatefold & a bridge card

I love cocktails and they can totally be mocktails -- I don't have to have alcohol in them! I just love how fun they are and that's why I love this new set so much...So many possibilities! I used this set to make a few cards recently and this was the first: a birthday card…

Don’t you just love the umbrella on the tall drink? LOL 😆 Next, for the second birthday card, I created this bridge card:

It’s difficult to see in the photos (and I’ve already sent the card away) but the “cheers” flag is attached to the back and sides so that it pops up when the card is opened but lays flat when the card is folded and tucked into the envelope:

And the third and last card for now, a double flap gate fold card:

I saw this card design on Pinterest by Heidi Collins at On Y GO! Stamping (https://stampinup.net/microsite/9/2212806?raid=134125&asset_name=Double+Gate+Fold+Tuck+Cheers+and+Sips&source=other) and changed up the colors.

Thanks for stopping by!
