I have a stand up easel Birthday card to share today.  It is a mix of stamp sets with the Wildly Flowering DSP.  Plus it is a quick Fun Fold to try.

Card Views

Three card views begin with the standing easel. Next is the closed for mailing view. The top section would not lay flat.  You should be seeing the blue card base at the top section as well.  And then the totally opened inside so you can see the inside sentiment

Papers and Measurements

The paper is as much the star as the Fun Fold I believe.  I was amazed, when I cut paper for my paper share, as I got to the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper.  These sheets are fabulous.  Part of it may be that they include my most favorite colors.  But I think they are really special floral sheets.  The paper I used is probably my favorite.  Although they are difficult to choose in this package.

The card base is Misty Moonlight with a layer of Crumb Cake.  And the layer to the focal piece is Mossy Meadow. The base layer is 4 1/4 X 11 and scored at 5 1/2 and 8 1/2.  The Crumb Cake layers are 4 X 5 1/4 and the “stop” section is 4 X 2 1/2.  For the front DSP it is cut 3 3/4 X 5 with the “stop” layer at 3 3/4 X 2 1/4.  And the Basic White inside is 4 X 2 1/2 also.

To create the card, the largest section of the card base is flat on the table with the fold at the rear and the second fold standing up.  Adhere the large front DSP to the large Crumb Cake.  Then adhere the Crumb Cake to ONLY THE last small section.  (from the 8 1/2 score line to the end)  This allows the card to stand up.  I used the butterfly as my “Stop” by adding Stampin’ Dimensionals.  See how simple that is!

Stamps 

There are a variety of stamp sets used on this card, mostly for the sentiments.  The main set is the Spotlight On Nature stamp set.  I used Stampin’ Write Markers in Mossy Meadow and Moody Mauve for the flowers.  The butterfly is from this set as well.  I stamped it in Early Espresso and colored with Misty Moonlight and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends.

The front sentiment is from the Loveliest Tree stamp set.  I wanted a simple Happy Birthday and this fit perfectly.  The inside sentiment is a favorite that I use often.  It is from the So Sincere stamp set.  This is a sentiment that is good for any happy occasion in my book.

Dies and Punches

The detailed circles for the focal layer flowers are from the matching, and bundled, Spotlight On Nature Dies.  These are now my go to for layering Circles.  I love the choice of edging detail to choose from.  And the sentiment was punched using the Happy Labels Punch.  With so many of the punches retiring, I was thrilled that this one stayed.  Those two sizes of scallops/ticket edge compliment almost anything.

Finishes

The finishes for this card were to add a bit of the Moody Mauve by way of the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim.  I wrapped a couple of strands around just to have some texture and the color.  To add a touch of bling, although it is not shiny bling, I used the Dappled Dots in a couple of places.
