You are going to love the new Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets Bundle which is available to customers on November 1, 2022. The coordinating Designer Series Paper, ‘Fitting Florets’ is gorgeous and some of the dies can be used to cut floral images from the DSP. This new bundle will also be in the Mini Catalog starting in January and the DSP is only available while supplies last but you can get it now!

This is an easy, over-the-top, fun-fold card to make and the recipient will love it! I love the finished look. However, I might do things a bit differently next time. And yes, there will be a next time. I enjoy creating the same card layout using different papers, colors and embellishments.
I encourage you to try this easy Fun-Fold card. Thanks for stopping by today. I encourage you to give this card a try; I’d love to know how it went for you! This is such a fun card to make. If you’d like to place an order, I’d be honored if you selected me to be your demonstrator. Have a stamp-happy day!
Love this card!
