I have a wonderful Fun Fold to share with you today. Not only is the fold great, but I have used the fabulous birthday DSP that partners with the Birthday Celebration bundle and Suite. These are all products that will make you smile!
The card is in a stand for photographing so I could get it sort of flat. I could not get the proper angle with it standing on it’s own. Here is a look at it open to see the inside as well as more of the side strips of DSP.
STAMPS & DIES
There are actually only three stamps used from the Birthday Celebration stamp set. And they are beautifully scripted. That is always something I look for. I love different fonts. These are probably some of my all time favorites in terms of bold and beautifully done. Both the inside and the front are stamped using Blueberry Bushel Ink. And the banner strip on the inside is stamped using Wild Wheat Ink. I am so going to miss that color when the In Colors change this Summer. That is my go to for a Gold stamping.
The only Die used is the tag on the front. It is also from the Birthday Celebration Bundle. I was thrilled when I realized it fit the sentiment plus added a great layer to the front of the card. And it shows that Blueberry Ink is a good pairing with Pool Party card stock. I called this a tag, when it really is not. There are no holes in this Die. It is designed to make multiple banners for the birthday celebration. As you can see though it works great as a single layer!
PAPERS
The star of the card is this gorgeous DSP. All of the sheets used are from the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper. This is not just pretty paper. But half of the sheets have gold foil details. You can see on the front with the cakes. And also on the Pool Party strip on the inside with the scallops of gold. There is a second of that strip on the left hand side that you cannot see the way I photographed. The pink check strips are a reverse side of another sheet.
To pair the Blueberry Bushel with the cake sheet really pulls the blue to the forefront. If you follow me I shared a previous card using one of the floral sheets and paired it with Blueberry Bushel as well. It is a perfect match and I could not resist doing it again. Here is a view of the previous card. https://jackiebeers.com/2025/01/banner-window-card/ The Pool Party Banner card stock is pulled from the paper also. And of course I cannot forget the Basic White inside layer.
EXTRAS
This fun card is a CASE of the Fun Fold from Connie Stewart. She called it Vertical Free Standing and has a video. I have a link to my project sheet with basic directions below.
The need for bling on this card was minimal with all of the gold foil in the DSP. I did use the Gold Twisted Thread for the bow of the banner on the front. It needed a bit more attention. And I added a single gold dot from the Low-Profile Dots.
