An Irresistible Birthday Card

 Hello,

A gorgeous Spring day deserves a pretty fun fold using the Irresistible Blooms bundle. I love any floral stamp set and this one is no exception. 



Here is how the fun fold comes together. 
Cut a base measuring 4" x 5 1/2". and 2 pieces of DSP measuring 3/4" x 5 1/4". Adhere as in the photo below. 


Cut another piece at 8" x 5 1/2" and score at 1 1/2", 2 3/4", 5 1/4" and 6 1/2". Fold and burnish all score lines. 
 Decorate the scored piece of card stock by cutting 2 pieces of DSP measuring 5 1/4" x 1", and another piece of a coordinating DSP measuring 1 1/4" x 5 1/4". My preference was to leave a bit of a larger border however you can lessen the border by cutting the DSP a 1/8" larger.
Adhere the DSP as in the photo below.


Once the DSP is added, adhere the scored piece to the base, ensuring the center part of the fold piece is in line with the bottom of the base so the card stands up and centering the the fold piece between the DSP on the base.




Now for the front of the card. Cut a piece of card stock measuring 3" x 5 1/2" and a piece of DSP measuring 2 3/4" x 5 1/4". Adhere the DSP to the front piece. Decorate as desired and add embellishments and a sentiment. Adhere this piece to the fold piece. *Important, add glue to the part of the fold piece which does not have any DSP on it. If glue is added to the entire front panel the card will not open (ask me how I know 😕)


Thanks for stopping by. Until next time...
